So the Sacrifice of the mass is the same as Calvary. They are both the same, but differ. On Calvary, our Lord Jesus Christ dies. But in the Mass, he doesn’t die no.At every mass, it is not a new sacrifice, but a continual sacrifice. Our Lord still offers himself to the Father.When the priest lifts our Lord Jesus Christ into the air , should I see him crucified or should I see him no longer crucified?
 
So its never a new sacrifice? Jesus isn’t crucified again?

Catechism of the Catholic Church
1356 If from the beginning Christians have celebrated the Eucharist and in a form whose substance has not changed despite the great diversity of times and liturgies, it is because we know ourselves to be bound by the command the Lord gave on the eve of his Passion: "Do this in remembrance of me."181

1357 We carry out this command of the Lord by celebrating the memorial of his sacrifice. In so doing, we offer to the Father what he has himself given us: the gifts of his creation, bread and wine which, by the power of the Holy Spirit and by the words of Christ, have become the body and blood of Christ. Christ is thus really and mysteriously made present.

1358 We must therefore consider the Eucharist as:
  • thanksgiving and praise to the Father;
  • the sacrificial memorial of Christ and his Body;
  • the presence of Christ by the power of his word and of his Spirit.
1364 In the New Testament, the memorial takes on new meaning. When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, she commemorates Christ’s Passover, and it is made present the sacrifice Christ offered once for all on the cross remains ever present.183 "As often as the sacrifice of the Cross by which ‘Christ our Pasch has been sacrificed’ is celebrated on the altar, the work of our redemption is carried out."184

Would it be right to say that Calvary is made present before us at the mass?
 
So , if you may allow me, to summarize it all up (and I thank you and i apologize many times for asking you all of these questions) : when a mass is celebrated (i do not know if celebrated is the proper term or not) , Calvary is made present before us. The passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is made known before us. His Life. His Death and His Resurrection. He continuously offers himself to God the father and the Father continues to accept it. It is the same sacrifice, done continuously, in a unbloody manner.
 
Thank you very much for taking time out of your day/ night for answering my question, I appreciate it. 🙂 . God bless you.

The Eucharist is Christ died and risen. So that is how I see this part of the Mass, the events of Easter occuring every Mass.
