I’ve been looking for a good children’s missal but every one I can find says the following or something similar:

On Calvary Christ offered his Body and Blood to God the Father for us. In the Mass this great act is repeated.

Christ’s sacrifice is not repeated at each Mass (as we are so often accused), it is continued. So, isn’t saying this in a children’s missal doctrinal error? Why is this granted an imprimatur?
 
perhaps the intention was to use simple words so as not to confuse the children

I believe the Church makes a distinction between the presentation of a sacrifice and the sacrifice itself. If the “act” refers to the “re-presentation” of Christ’s body and blood then the missal should be OK.
