LENT OR NOT, LET US PRESERVE THE REVERENCE OF THE HOLY MASS

“Who would have clapped at Calvary? Would the Blessed Mother and John the Beloved have clapped?” – Bishop Socrates Villegas

The Holy Mass is the re-presentation of Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary. It is first and foremost an act of worship directed to God, not a performance to be applauded. For this reason, many Catholics encourage maintaining an atmosphere of prayerful reverence before, during, and after Mass.

While applause may sometimes arise from joy or gratitude, we are invited to remember that the liturgy always points us toward Christ. Silence, prayer, and recollection allow us to enter more deeply into the sacred mysteries being celebrated.

This is especially emphasized during Lent—a season of penance, contemplation, and conversion—but reverence in the liturgy is not limited to one season alone. Whether in Lent, Easter, Ordinary Time, or any other season of the Church year, our gestures and actions should reflect humility, devotion, and awe before the Eucharistic Lord.

May our participation in the Holy Mass always draw us closer to Christ, helping us worship with sincere hearts and encounter Him truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.



A small pastoral note: the Church does not have a universal prohibition against applause at Mass. The emphasis is on ensuring that any gesture—including applause—does not overshadow the sacred focus of the liturgy, which is always Christ and His sacrifice.

The Miracle That Gave Us Corpus Christi

In 1263, a German priest named Peter of Prague was on pilgrimage to Rome carrying a heavy burden: he was struggling with doubts about the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

Did the bread truly become the Body of Christ?

Did the wine truly become His Blood?

While celebrating Mass in the town of Bolsena, Italy, at the Church of Saint Christina, something extraordinary happened.

As Father Peter pronounced the words of Consecration, the Sacred Host suddenly began to bleed.

Blood flowed from the Host onto his hands, the corporal, and the altar itself.

Overwhelmed with fear, awe, and wonder, the priest stopped the Mass. Gathering the bleeding Host and the bloodstained corporal, he traveled to nearby Orvieto, where Pope Urban IV was residing.

After a careful investigation, the Pope recognized the event as a genuine miracle.

The impact on the Church was immense.

The miracle strengthened belief in the doctrine of Transubstantiation—the teaching that the bread and wine truly become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

The following year, in 1264, Pope Urban IV established the Feast of Corpus Christi for the entire Church. He also commissioned Thomas Aquinas to compose the hymns and prayers for the celebration, giving the Church treasures such as Pange Lingua and Tantum Ergo.

More than seven centuries later, the bloodstained corporal is still preserved in the magnificent Orvieto Cathedral, where pilgrims continue to venerate it.

The Miracle of Bolsena remains a powerful reminder of the Catholic belief that Jesus is truly present in the Holy Eucharist—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.

“Take and eat; this is My Body.” (Matthew 26:26)

🙏 Lord Jesus, increase our faith in Your Real Presence.
