Mass comes from the Latin word, missa. In Latin, the words, Ite Missa est, signified the end of the Mass, or the dismissal. The people were sent forth, much in the same way that Jesus sent His Apostles forth. This is a good reminder to us all that the grace we receive during the Sacrament of the Eucharist is not meant to be kept to ourselves. We are called to use this grace to glorify God and spread His message to others. While all may not be well equipped to preach His gospel through confrontational means or by intellectual debate, all of us can work to unite our wills more fully with the will of God. By living with the grace and peace of Christ, we can convert souls by our actions. During the Mass, we are dismissed with a commission to do just this.
