  1. Whenever and wherever we go to Mass, the readings are universal.
    We can attend Mass in China or in Italy, the readings are the same as in States on any given day.
  2. The universal Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist help us to follow the worship perfectly even if we don’t know the language.
