So the sacrifice of the Mass is considered to be the highest form of worship which is only appropriate to God, latria. This make sense. However, wouldn't it imply there are different levels of latria for each member of the Trinity? Since the priest invokes the Holy Spirit to change the elements into Jesus who is then presented to the Father. But the priest does not offer up Jesus to himself, or to the Holy Spirit, but to the Father, it is the Father alone who is being sacrificed to, with Jesus alone being the sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit alone being the agent of change. So does the Father receive a greater amount of latria than Jesus and the Holy Spirit?

I wouldn't say so. True, the sacrifice is offered to the Father, but what is being worshiped in the Father is also true of the Son and the Holy Spirit. That's why it is said, that even if you only pray to Jesus, you pray to the whole Trinity - because they share divine nature.
