The treasures of the Mass are so inexhaustible that it is difficult to leave the subject. But it should be obvious that the Mass is the meeting place of Jesus and ourselves par excellence. And it is clear that one cannot determine any limit to the fruitful effects of even one Mass. As St. Thomas sums up the whole question:

The sacrament [the Blessed Eucharist] is both a sacrifice and a sacrament. It is a sacrifice inasmuch as it is offered to God; it is a sacrament in so far as it is received by men. It has the effects of sacrifice to him who offers it or in those for whom it is offered. [77] The effect which the Passion of Christ produced for the world, this sacrament produces in man. [78] It is nothing else than the sacrifice which Christ himself offered[79] [and in one lapidary formula:] The Blessed Eucharist is the perfect sacrament of the Passion.[80]
