The Mass is the most powerful of all prayers, so it is a very effective way to pray for loved ones. While you can personally offer your prayers at Mass for a special intention, requesting that a priest say a Mass for your intention can be even more powerful. Because of the particular role of the priest as mediator between God and man, acting "in persona Christi" when offering the holy sacrifice of the Mass, it is usually considered that special graces may be obtained when he applies the Mass to a particular intention.

You can offer a Mass for family members, friends, or any special intention, but Masses offered for the dead are particularly powerful.

With the Mass, we are invited to participate in the glories of Heaven.

Having a Mass offered for your intentions is powerful.

Precious Blood of Jesus Christ have mercy on us.
