“We do not go to Mass in order to give something to God, but to receive what we truly need from him. We are reminded of this by the Church’s prayer, which is addressed to God in this way: ‘although you have no need of our praises, yet our thanksgiving is itself your gift, since our praises add nothing to your greatness but profit us for salvation’.” – Pope Francis
