Reflection for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time
This week’s question is ‘what is a mass intention’? For the answer to this question, I am quoting Philip Kosloski from an article he wrote in 2017. He explains it all very well!
One part of Catholic culture that is sometimes hard to understand and very often misunderstood is the custom of offering Mass intentions. When a priest celebrates Mass each day, he offers each celebration of the Eucharist for a particular person, or intention. By doing so he applies special graces from God upon that person or intention.
