The Catholic Mass is the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. It is the unbloody rational "re-presentation" of Christ's salvific work. I provided a link to an audio book and pdf book that wonderfully explains the Catholic Mass

AnswerThe catholic mass is the Sacrifice of Christ's Body and Blood repeated in an unbloody manner for the remission of sin. AnswerThe catholic Mass is based on the following passages of Scripture:

"I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh." " He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me. This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever." (John Chapter 6)

"And when the hour came, he sat at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that from now on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." And he took bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." And likewise the cup after supper, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." (Luke Chapter 22)

AnswerA Catholic mass is mainly a celebration of the Eucharist. During the most important part of the Mass, the priest takes the place of Jesus at the last supper, and says words of consecration over bread and wine: "This is my Body, this is my Blood", as Jesus did at the Last Supper. The Last Supper was the first Mass. When the priest consecrates the bread and wine, they are believed to become the actual flesh of Jesus Christ, Body, Blood Soul, and Divinity, in what is called "Transubstantiation". Roman Catholic AnswerThe short answer is the Passion and Death of Our Blessed Lord, it doesn't just commemorate it, however, it actually makes the person at Mass present at the once and only Passion and Crucifixion; and makes the grace therefrom present for him.
