The Catholic Mass Is The Perfect Prayer
The Entire Mass Can Be Traced to Holy Scripture

Needless to say, the entire Mass – which has been called the “Perfect Prayer” – is completely Biblically based. It has to be; it’s a celebration within Christ’s Church, the Catholic Church. Catholics penned the New Testament inspired by the Holy Spirit (first called Christians, then the Catholic [Universal] Church) and then codified Holy Scripture in A.D. 393 at the Synod of Hippo. What we tend to forget sometimes is that ALL Christians were Catholic (whether Orthodox, Roman, etc.) for nearly 1,500 years, and certainly all the Apostles and all the greatest minds and (early) Church fathers were Catholic.

Every single man and woman that materially affected Christian doctrine in its very initial development and maturation for “hundreds of years” were Catholic; devout Catholics, many of them martyrs, many of them having personal and visual relationships with Jesus.

How then could these Christians celebrate the Mass – daily – without this Perfect Prayer being absolutely and unmistakably supported by Holy Scripture? A book they helped write, interpret, guard the validity of, preach from, and eventually certify the contents of – all under the guide of the Holy Spirit? It is not possible. Or better said, it defies logical and rational thought.
