It means it's worth doing something you don't agree with, if as a result you get some excellent outcome. In this case it was supposedly said by French king Henri the Fourth. He was a Protestant Christian but reluctantly joined the Catholic Church in order to win the acceptance of his French subjects. That is to get Paris, the French capital, it was worth saying Mass, the Catholic church service. There is no evidence he ever said this.
