ABS was learnt that The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is a Holocaust that has four sacrificial aspects to it;
Sacrifice of Homage, offering to His Sovereign Greatness
Sacrifice of Expiation, offered to appease His Justice
Sacrifice of Impetration, offered to thank Him for His bounty (Should be, offered to implore His bounty)
Eucharistic Sacrifice, offered to thank Him for His bounty
Of course, one would search in vain for even a hint of this truth in the Lil' Licit Liturgy but one does have to grant our younger brothers (Rabbinical Judaism is younger than the Catholic Church) their due for by their effort the Holocaust has been redefined to mean solely the war crimes committed against the Jews (and them alone) and the have been so successful at that redefinition that if you were to ask any Catholic- What is the Holocaust? - less than 1 % would have even heard that the Pluperfect Self-Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary, where His burning love for mankind substituted for the O.T. Holocaust fires, is the Holocaust.
It wasn't so long ago that ABS posted the public declaration of the Liturgical Commission at the opening of Vatican Two speaking about The Mass as The Holocaust.
Now just try to imagine any Pope or Prelate, postV2, daring to speak that truth in public today.
No, it is solely up to the laity to preserve that consequential truth - The Mass is the Holocaust and there is only one Holocaust.

...We wish to convey to all men and to all nations the message of salvation, love and peace which Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, brought to the world and entrusted to the Church.
In fact, it is for this reason that we, the successors of the apostles, all united in prayer with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, forming one single apostolic body whose head is the successor of Peter, are gathered here at the invitation of His Holiness Pope John XXIII.
...Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we intend in this meeting to seek the most effective ways of renewing ourselves and of becoming increasingly more faithful witnesses of the Gospel of Christ.
We will strive to propose to the men of our times the truth of God in its entirety and purity so that they may understand it and accept it freely.
Conscious of our duties as pastors, we wish deeply to meet the demands of those who seek God “and perhaps grope after him and find him though he is not far from any one of us” (Acts 17: 27).
Faithful, therefore, to the mandate of Christ, who offered Himself a holocaust “in order that he might present to himself the Church in all her glory … but that she might be holy and without blemish” (Eph. 5:27) we shall devote ourselves with all our energies, with all our thoughts toward renewing ourselves and the faithful entrusted to us, that the image of Jesus Christ, which shines in our hearts “to give enlightenment concerning the knowledge of the glory of God” (II Cor. 4:6) may appear to all people...

To Fr. McDermott: thank you for your note. I understand that the idea and the fact of a sacrifice is in the Eucharistic Prayers of the Novus Ordo. It has to be or it would not be a valid sacrament. It's the word that is almost entirely absent, unlike in the liturgy used by the Church for at least 1500 years. And the idea itself has to be cobbled together as you demonstrated. Consequently the idea has been lost to most of the faithful who have also been instructed to think of the Eucharist as a community meal. That's why they can't fathom that there should ever be any barrier to entry, like adultery.

Thank you,father H ! Your instruction today has truly enriched my understanding and my spiritual journey through Holy Week! Bless you and those who provided the rich commentaries

@ABS: That sounds very antisemitic, and I think you have been blocked from NLM for this kind of words (might have been someone else, though).
"Holocaust" is a scandal to Jews, as they prefer the term "Shoah".
To be honest, I find your comment disgusting and disgraceful. How the Reverend Father allows such comments, is beyond me.

Well, to be fair to Mr. Crane, there are prolly many things beyond him but he is right in observing that ABS was blocked from commenting at NLM (New Liturgical Movement) and he hasn't gone back to see if the block is permanent.
ABS was blocked there for writing pretty much the same thing that Fr. Hunwicke allowed to be posted.
However, ABS is happy he has been labeled an anti semite because unless one has had those scarlet words pinned to his reputation can he be said to be a man of Catholic Tradition?
O, and ABS would like to ask where is there any anti semitism in what he wrote?
There isn't any but fear of the Jews is ever ancient ever knew and the fastest race in modernity is the one engaged in by Catholics who race to win the laurels of the Mesias-deniers for being the first to condemn a brother of anti semitism
