we are nowhere near the last 3 1/2 years of earth. This is not the end. Things will soon become so dire that many will think it’s the end, but it’s not. Keep your eyes on The Triumph. The process of the Triumph has already begun, it’s why evil is ramping up, old skinny legs knows his time is short go to confession often, receive the Eucharist as often as you can, pray the rosary daily. Trust God, He has a plan
even if Paul VI's mass is changed to an invalid celebration, the mass will still exist clandestinely as in the time of the Roman persecutions.
But I don't think the sacrifice coming to end is about the mass , but perhaps the sacrifice for our sins coming to an end
The sacrifice for our sins is the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary - the eternal sacrifice. That sacrifice can never end. We re-present it at Mass but there is only one, once-for all sacrifice. God will never spurn a truly repentant sinner. Keep yourself in a state of grace while the Sacraments are available. If the Sacraments are taken away, do your best to live the Faith, say a sincere Act of Contrition frequently, and do some acts of penance. Plenty of Catholics have had to do as much throughout the history of the Church down to the present day.
Tonight’s psalm from Evening Vespers is comforting. I hope it gives you reassurance and peace. God loves you. He wants you to be with Him for all eternity. He is not closing doors on you. Psalm 114 I love the Lord, for he has heard the cry of my appeal; because he has turned his ear to me as I call on him, day by day. The ropes of death surrounded me, Hell held me tight, I had found pain and tribulation – but I called on the Lord’s name: “O Lord, free my soul.” The Lord is compassionate and just; our God takes pity on us. The Lord cares for the simple – I was brought low, but he saved me. Return, my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has looked after you; he has rescued my spirit from death, my eyes from tears, he has saved my feet from stumbling. I shall walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.
Psalm 130 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications! If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning. O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is great power to redeem. It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.
