What is a Mass Intention?

When a priest celebrates Mass, he can apply the grace of that Mass towards a specific need or intention. This is called the "intention of the Mass". People can request a Mass Intention for a deceased loved one, a living person who is sick or suffering, or a living person celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or other special moment in their life. If the request is for a living person, it is called a special intention.
