The Mass is the re-presentation of the Sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. It is, by a miracle of God, the "making present" the graces to us. Look at it this way. God exists, He just IS. Inside of Him, if you will (outside of God there is nothing), He has created the world. In creating the world, time came into existence because time is a measure of Change. With God, however, there is no change, so there is no time. When God "looks" at His world (our world we live in) He sees it "all at once". The beginning, the middle, and the end.
Somewhere in the middle Jesus became man, and died on the Cross for us. During the Mass, we see the one and only Sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross AS IF WE WERE ON CALVARY, WE ARE WITNESSING JESUS' ONE AND ONLY SACRIFICE OF HIS LIFE FOR US. That is what the Mass is. At Mass we witness God sacrificing His life for our salvation. A better way of asking the question would be, "why in the world wouldn't we go to Mass?"

it is to remember as jesus says,"do this in memory of me" after breaking the bread. so the mass is celebrated as often as possible.
