MEMORIAL

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

Some Roman Catholics refer to the Mass as a memorial. However, the Roman

Catholic definition of memorial is "the making effective in the present of

an event in the past" (THE ANGLICAN/ROMAN CATHOLIC AGREEMENT ON THE

EUCHARIST, page 11).

If a Roman Catholic calls the Mass a memorial, one can always ask what the

Roman Catholic is remembering at the Mass. He cannot remember a completed

sacrificed as the sacrifice is continuing week after week. Neither can he

look with assurance for the "Blessed Hope," for he knows that when Jesus

comes again He will send everyone to Heaven or to Hell.
