The four sacrifices in the Holy Holocaust of the Mass





1. The holocaust offered to God is an homage/offering to His sovereign greatness.

2. The sacrifice of propiation, offered to appease His Justice.

3. The Sacrifice of impetration offered to implore His bounty.

4. The Eucharistic sacrifice offered to thank Him for his bounty.

The Mass is a Holy Holocaust in which the One True Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church offers to God an offering to His greatness and power; a sacrifice of expiation to appease His Justice; a sacrifice of impetration to solicit His bounty; and a Eucharistic sacrifice offered to Him in thanksgiving for all of His favors.

The Holocaust demands a spirit of humility, the sacrifice of expiation, a spirit of penance, compunction, and penitence; the sacrifice of impetration, a spirit of fervor and submission; the Eucharistic sacrifice, a spirit of love and gratitude.
