  • Liturgy
    :
    The “public work” of the Church. It is the participation of the People of God in “the work of God,” which is our salvation from sin. The liturgy is our public worship as Christians.
  • Liturgy of the Eucharist
    :
    The second part of the Mass in which we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. In this part of the Mass, the priest prays the words of consecration and changes the bread and wine in the Body and Blood of Christ. We also come to the altar of the Lord and receive Holy Communion. (1408)
  • Liturgy of the Word
    :
    The first part of the Mass in which we receive the written Word of God. In this part of the Mass, the Scriptures are proclaimed and the priest teaches us in his homily. We also join together in prayer for others and profess our faith.
  • Mass
    :
    The liturgical celebration and memorial of Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross and Resurrection from the dead. At every Mass, the priest changes the bread and wine into Christ’s Body and Blood in the Eucharist. The Mass is divided into two sections: the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. (1190, 1408, 1412)
  • Memorial
    :
    A way of remembering and celebrating the past. The word “remember” means “to make present again.” In the Eucharist, Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross is made present to us again.
