Thanks for your question, Madison. It does sound like we are happy that Mass is over. However, we are really thanking God for the opportunity to attend Mass and to be able to bring the blessings Mass gives us to others throughout the week.
Sometimes the responses we use at Mass can seem confusing at first. If we take the time to think about them and study their meaning we will see how relevant each one is. “Thanks be to God” is no exception.
This week when the priest announces that Mass has ended, let’s all respond with a joyous “Thanks be to God.” Then we will take that joy to others in a hurting world.
