Mass (Roman Catholic theology)

in Roman Catholic theology and ritual, "the perpetual sacrifice of the new covenant, in which the body and blood of Jesus Christ are really and truly offered to God under the species of bread and wine." According to the "Catechism of the Council of Trent," the Sacrifice of the Mass was instituted by our Lord at His last supper (Luke xxii: 19); it must be offered to God alone; was signified in Jachi i: 11; is the same sacrifice with f the Cross; there is one priest of time.
