"Nothing is so consoling, so
piercing, so thrilling, so overcoming, as the Mass, said as it is among
us. I could attend Masses forever and not be tired. It is not a mere
form of words --- it is a great action, the greatest action that can be on
earth. It is not the invocation merely, but, if I dare use the word, the
evocation of the Eternal. He becomes present on the altar in flesh
and blood, before Whom angels bow and devils tremble."
