_005459372	Traufler, Louis, 1874-	Why do Catholics attend Mass?	1928		.txt	text/plain	5717	258	73	The wine represents Christ, and the water the people, according to the accompanying —13— prayer, which reads in part: O God, who hast estab- lished the nature of man in wondrous dignity and still more admirably restored it, grant that through the mystery of this water and wine, we may be made partakers of His divinity, who has deigned to become partaker of our hu- manity, Jesus Christ,” etc. By taking active part in the Mass, the Christian gives his personal consent to the general sacrifice Christ made for all men on Calvary; and through Christ, he thus offers himself up to God as an acceptable child.	cache/_005459372.txt	txt/_005459372.txt
