I read that Mary once appeared to the visionary Marija of Medjugorje a few minutes after a consecration. She neither prayed nor spoke to her, and left after a mere few seconds, having only blessed the small group at the Holy Mass. Later when the attending priest asked Marija why it had happened so quikly, she, directing her hand toward the front of the altar, said, "Mary didn't talk to me because Jesus was standing right there." So Jesus is present at all Masses. In fact, he is present with us at all times. Anytime you turn to him, he's there. The awareness of the Lord's constant presence should help us remain reverent to him always and also deter us from committing any serious sin.
