Doesn't the Mass sacrifice Jesus again and serve bread as God?

🔥The question: “Jesus died once on the cross, so why do you say he is sacrificed again at every Mass?”

🛡️The Church's answer: The sacrifice of the cross happened once and is complete. The Mass is not a performance repeating that sacrifice; it is worship that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, sacramentally memorializes Christ's Passover and makes it present now. Because the living Christ is truly present under the appearances of the consecrated bread and wine, Catholic believers offer adoration to Christ before the Blessed Sacrament. It is not mistaking an object called bread for a god and serving it.

🧐If they press further: “But it looks like plain bread.” — Catholics also acknowledge that the sensible properties — color, taste, shape — stay the same. The change is not a change of appearance measured by a chemistry experiment; it is the sacramental mystery in which the substance of the bread and wine is changed — what the Church calls transubstantiation. Under each appearance, bearing body and blood, soul and divinity, the whole Christ is truly present.

✨In one sentence: “The Mass doesn't repeat the cross; it makes Christ's once-for-all sacrifice sacramentally present now, and adores the Jesus who is present.”
