Lesson Vocabulary

  • Manna
    :
    Food that God provided to the Israelites from Heaven as they wandered the desert for 40 years. It is unknown what manna really was, but the Israelites called it “bread from Heaven” and were physically nourished by it. It foreshadows the bread of life, Christ’s own Body and Blood given to us as spiritual food, which, unlike manna, gives eternal life.
  • Todah
    :
    The primary liturgy of the Jerusalem Temple. It means “thanksgiving” and consisted of a sacred meal of bread and wine. The Todah foreshadows the sacred meal of bread and wine Jesus changed into His Body and Blood at the Last Supper and which we still receive today in the Eucharist at every Mass. (1407)
  • Liturgy
    :
    Our public worship as Christians. The Mass is the greatest example and model of the liturgy.
  • Communion
    :
    The receiving of the Eucharist. When we receive the Eucharist we are united to Jesus Himself and made members of the one Body of Christ.
  • Memorial
    :
    A memorial is a way of remembering the past. The word remember means “to make present again.” In the Eucharist, Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross is made present to us again.
  • Mystery
    :
    A visible sign of God’s grace. Mystery is derived from the Greek word mysterion, which is interchangeable with the Greek word sacramentum, from which we derive the word “Sacrament.” Sacraments are mysteries, and mysteries is another word for Sacraments.
  • Mass
    :
    The Mass is the liturgical celebration and memorial of Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross and Resurrection from the dead.
