Summary: Sermon titled "The Solemn High Mass" given on Wednesday January 8, 2003. Size: 4.3 MB; duration: 18:36. During the Solemn High Mass, the actions of those in the sanctuary and sitting in the pews determine the graces that pour off of the altars and into the world.Detailed SynopsisThe Mass should always be celebrated with the greatest solemnity possible. When things are properly done, our liturgy raises earth up towards the level of heaven, and it reorders and fixes the damage done by Adam and his descendants. It calls graces down on each of us, on all the living and dead throughout the church, it frees souls from purgatory, it converts sinners, and it sends the devils back to Hell. The Mass is where we learn who God is, and who we we really are.
