I would also want to draw your particular attention tothis fine article on the "Todah," which is the Jewish sacrifice of thanks and praise so intimately connected with the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

17 I willl sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord

Except what you call the mass is not a "thanksgiving sacrifice for a completed act.. it is the re-sacrifice of Christ over and oner for the forgiveness of sins..

Rome has no completed act to thank God for

Jesus cannot be re-sacrificed. He has overcome death and is free from death forever. The Mass is that self-same sacrifice, unique, numerically singular, unrepeatable. We are brought in contact with eternity, outside of time and space, and with "the Lamb that hath been slain from the foundation of the world…" (Rev 13:8).

Who told you that falsehood, that it is re-sacrificing Jesus over and over, I would like to know?

It seems to me when you write "Rome," blinders come down. Try instead to imagine you are a Catholic who loves the LORD, has made a perfect act of contrition, fully believes everything in the Apostle's Creed, and has entered the assembly to offer a thanksgiving sacrifice by doing whatever Jesus said to do in memory of him. Just try.
