We can think of the Mass as a thanksgiving sacrifice and a remembrance, but not as
"merely" a thanksgiving sacrifice or a
"bare" remembrance, to use the words of Trent.
It is primarily a propitiatory sacrifice. In the Mass, Jesus Christ is the high Priest, the sacrificial Lamb, and the Altar of sacrifice.

Jesus laid His own life down Himself.
He did not come to offer Himself to us to offer back to God as a sacrifice for our sins in the same manner as the Jews offered a real, physical lamb.

Thanks to you both; Is it not amazing and profound, that a Catholic brother or sister, even a lapsed or rebellious one, would still have the imprint and concern to warn another pilgrim in the mountain passes from the slippery precipice lest he stray and fall ?
