To: Mad Dawg; Bosco

Of course Mad Dawg is right here. I should have been a little more careful with “perpetuated through time”, as if the one sacrifice were a continuing event. It is not perpetuated “in time” but “in eternity.” At the Mass we enter into eternity and the sacrifice at Cavalry 2000 years ago is made present to us here and now. We err if we think of eternity as a unending series of discreet moments. For God all of time is but a single moment. In answering yes, I was looking more at the idea that the Mass “is not a different sacrifice from that of Calvary, but the same sacrifice.”
