Snippet from the Show:
We offer up thanksgiving to God in the Mass and celebrate the victory of our risen Lord. This victory is our victory as we are joined with him as his body.  And everytime we enter into the Mass with a sense of plight, we should exit with praise and thanksgiving in our hearts and on our lips.
