Why do we do that? Call it the Mass

The word Mass derives from the same word we use for dismissal and missile. The Mass is something that we are sent forth from. Just as one would launch a missile with a particular mission of bringing something to a particular location. So too are we sent forth by God with a particular message to be brought to a particular people. We must always keep in mind that Truth must be taught with Charity and that unlike war missiles ours is not a mission of destruction but of bringing the redeeming Word of God to our world.
Thus, when we come to Mass we come seeking to be filled up and sent forth on behalf of the Church to carry out the gospel mission of proclaiming God's mercy and love for our world.
