#Mass

A mass is a ritual where the faithful gather regularly to chant the same lines at full volume, supplying both inner peace and profound tedium. The priest reads a passage from the scriptures, promising salvation while seeking backing from the offering plate. Attendees follow rules of silence and response, immersing themselves in the security of memorized liturgical formulas. The bread and wine serve merely as props in a shared experience, after which everyone returns to their secular routines.
