In the New Covenant, the <i>one</i> sacrifice on the altar of Calvary is revisited during every Catholic Mass. Jesus Christ merited all graces and blessings for us by His death on the Cross. These merits form an inexhaustible fountain of grace to nourish the <a href="/wiki/Divinization_(Christian)" title="Divinization (Christian)">supernatural life</a> of <a href="/wiki/Soul" title="Soul">souls</a>. At Calvary, Christ not only merited all graces for people but also established certain channels whereby these graces may be obtained.

The first <i>Holy Sacrifice</i> of the Mass was celebrated on the eve of the Passion. The unbloody sacrifice of the Last Supper is a memorial of Christ's bloody sacrifice on the cross. Thus, the Mass is a unifying event of the Last Supper and Christ's sacrifice on Calvary. </p><p>The Mass contains the four essential elements of a true sacrifice: priest, victim, altar, and sacrifice. Its Priest, Jesus Christ, uses the ministry of an earthly representative; its Victim, Jesus Christ, truly present under the appearances of bread and wine; its altar; and the Sacrifice is a mystic representation of the blood-shedding of Calvary. Thus, the Mass is offered for four ends: adoration, atonement, thanksgiving, and petition.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mass_in_the_Catholic_Church&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">The <a href="/wiki/Roman_Rite" title="Roman Rite">Roman Rite</a> Mass, the predominant form of its celebration in the Catholic Church, is the focus of this article.

A priest who has concelebrated the Chrism Mass, which may be held on the morning of Holy Thursday, may also celebrate or concelebrate the Mass of the Lord's Supper that evening. A priest may celebrate or concelebrate both the Mass of the Easter Vigil and Mass of Easter Sunday (the Easter Vigil "should not begin before nightfall; it should end before daybreak on Sunday"; and may therefore take place at midnight or in the early hours of Easter morning). Finally, a priest who has concelebrated Mass at a meeting of priests or during a pastoral visitation by a bishop or a bishop's delegate, may celebrate a second Mass for the benefit of the laity. </p><p>In addition to these general permissions, the Local Ordinary may, for a good reason, permit priests to celebrate twice (they are then said to "<a href="/wiki/Bination" title="Bination">binate</a>") on weekdays, and three times ("trinate" or "trination") on Sundays and Holy Days (canon 905 §2). Examples would be if a parish priest were to need to celebrate the usual, scheduled daily Mass of a parish and a funeral later in the morning, or three Masses to accommodate all of the parishioners in a very populous parish on Sundays. In particularly difficult circumstances, the Pope can grant the diocesan bishop permission to give his priests faculties to trinate on weekdays and quadrinate on Sundays. </p><p>In many countries, the bishop's power to permit priests to celebrate two or three Masses on one day is widely used, and it is common for priests assigned to parish ministry to celebrate at least two Masses on any given Sunday, and two Masses on several other days of the week. Permission for four Masses on one day has been obtained in order to cope with large numbers of Catholics either in mission lands or where the ranks of priests are diminishing. This sometimes also happens in the case of historic churches which are unusually small compared to their number of parishioners, but which have not been replaced due to their historic character. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Summary_table_regarding_priests_with_pastoral_responsibilities">Summary table regarding priests with pastoral responsibilities</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mass_in_the_Catholic_Church&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Summary table regarding priests with pastoral responsibilities"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Situation </th> <th>Masses<br />permitted </th> <th>Masses<br />required* </th></tr> <tr> <td>Normal weekday </td> <td>1 </td> <td>0 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Normal Sunday </td> <td>1 </td> <td>1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Sunday, for just reasons** </td> <td>2 </td> <td>1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>All Souls' Day </td> <td>3 </td> <td>1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Christmas Day*** </td> <td>3 </td> <td>1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Weekday with permission of Local Ordinary </td> <td>2 </td> <td>0 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Sunday or Holy Day with permission of Local Ordinary </td> <td>3 </td> <td>1 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Weekday with permission of the Pope through Local Ordinary </td> <td>3 </td> <td>0 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Sunday or Holy Day with permission of the Pope through Local Ordinary </td> <td>4 </td> <td>1 </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>* By any priest of a parish for the people; that is to say, individual priests are not required to say Masses on these days per se, but a Mass in each parish or oratory must be available for the people.<br /> ** According to the pastor's own judgment.<br /> *** By longstanding custom, this includes the First Mass of Christmas "during the night", even if it begins somewhat earlier than midnight. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Duration_of_the_celebration">Duration of the celebration</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mass_in_the_Catholic_Church&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Duration of the celebration"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The time it takes to celebrate Mass varies considerably.
