Gregorian Masses in Białynicze
Gregorianka.com helps the faithful entrust intentions for Gregorian Masses to priests serving in the parishes of the Archdiocese of Minsk–Mohilev. Because dates are available, Gregorian Masses can often begin at relatively short notice. By requesting an intention, you also support the work of rebuilding the Shrine of Our Lady of Białynicze.
Gregorian Masses are a series of thirty Holy Masses celebrated for one particular deceased person. The principle of this practice is that the 30 Masses are celebrated on consecutive days. The tradition of Gregorian Masses is linked with St Gregory the Great and the event he described concerning the deceased monk Justus. Its essence is not some “magical” power of the number thirty, but the prayer of the Church and the value of the Eucharist offered for the deceased.
For centuries prayer for the dead has held an important place in the tradition of the Catholic Church. Offering Holy Mass for a deceased person is an expression of faith, remembrance and love. Gregorian Masses make it possible to commend one deceased person to God's mercy through thirty consecutive celebrations. The Church does not regard Gregorian Masses as an automatic guarantee of salvation; they are a special and well-established form of prayer for the dead.
