Internal dispositions at Mass sacrifice

As with any religious act, so at Mass, an inner disposition is a condition of grace. In particular, Gaudier emphasizes the three ideas he served on to be well present at Mass: 1. to sacrifice with the priest; 2. The best way to be disposed to do so, we have received the most benefit; 3. Accept everything to us Mass gives.
The word disposition is known from daily life. We say that someone is or is not available to sing, on the game, listen to jokes, etc. We know how much failure depends on personal indisposition. It can be a snapshot or and permanent. A good singer refuses to sing because she is just cold. He who has neither musical hearing nor education usually goes to listen to symphony orchestras. He is not disposed of it, and it is permanent because he lacks it, assumption) for the concert to give him something. Scholastic philosophy defines disposition as the beginning of the form. If we are to express it more efficiently and clearly, we can say that a person must already, to some degree, have what he receives. Music enriches the inner life and feelings of a musician, that is, to whom already. Instead, the tones gave something.
Even at Mass, the best “disposed” is the one who already has, to some degree, what is sought here. The liturgy, therefore, gives mainly by those who lead a religious life. That is, of course, the general rule. However, one may be appropriate preparation, let’s say a short one, for this or that performance better disposable. Athletes, artists, speakers do it …

What would be the most appropriate disposition for Mass?
The symbol of the Mass sacra mentally reminds us of the last Lord’s Supper and the sacrifice of Calvary. It is, therefore, best disposed to have one who restores the spirit of sacrifice and desire for oneness with Christ and with the whole Church, with all with whom he mystically sits at one table. It was good, the custom-made in religious societies: to bring at least one sacrifice a day and do one act of love
to a neighbor as a preparation for tomorrow’s participation in Mass. At one Eucharistic congress in Austria took the place-unique initiative. Compulsory, school children should always bring one wheat grain to their religion teacher whenever they denied or served their neighbor. From that, The wheat was then ground to a flour for the Eucharist downhill. In the first place, of course, available belongs the inner intention to receive the grace at the table of the Lord’s offer. Both the sacrifice on Calvary and the Mass sacrifice bring for the salvation of the whole world, for the living and the dead. Nevertheless, the custom arose to sacrifice individual masses for a special intention, e.g., for the deceased, for relatives, in honor of the Virgin Mary, etc. Theologians could not cope well with what meaning is to be understood precisely. But there is no need to look.

Explanatory explanations. Even the mass liturgy is prayer. The power of prayer then depends on union with Christ and thus with God’s omnipotence. At Mass and St., we experience receiving the moments when this connection is closest, sacramental. So, this is also the best time for us to pray for what was close to our hearts. Therefore, the so-called mementos, memories of the living and dead who entrust ourselves to our prayers from the earliest times. St. Franz Borgia sprayed his memento as follows: He imagined Christ on the cross. To the wound of the right hand, he put the pope, the bishops, the clergy in his left-hand rulers, all who rule. To the right leg wound laid care for his religious confrères, in the left then relatives and acquaintances. In the case of a wound in the side, then he prayed for himself.
