註釋St. Justin talks about the Mass, the most common and celebrated among all Christian rites. St. Justin defines the Mass as heaven on earth, while St. Paul describes it as an amalgam of rites of the synagogues of the first and second centuries, including the rite of breaking of the bread as instituted by Jesus in the Last Supper. The two definitions are similar, but the Justinian rite is shorter than the Pauline rite. In a Justinian Mass, St. Justin speaks about God and the Mass as a thanksgiving right for the presence of Christ, the way of salvation and the divine sacrifice. He presents the Holy Mass as practiced in the second century in Rome.
