This sacrifice, this oblation, this offering is for the whole world. It is retroactive to the first human being, and it thrusts forward in its saving effect to the end of the age. Although the essential historical moment of His once-for-all sacrifice is chronologically in the past, the one priest is Christ and the one victim is Christ.... He is offering Himself and us in Him. -- A.C. Piepkorn, *The Church* p. 192
