While he was celebrating Holy Mass he had a mystical experience which he described very simply the next day. “At the age of sixty-five I have made a marvelous discovery. I love celebrating Holy Mass, but yesterday it cost me a huge effort – tremendous exertion! I saw that the Mass really is
Opus Dei, work, toil, just as his first Mass – the Cross – was toil for Jesus Christ. I saw that the job of the priest, celebrating Holy Mass, is to labor to make the Eucharist: you experience suffering, and joy, and tiredness. I felt in my flesh the exhaustion of a divine labor.”
