What Does Mass Mean (Catholic Church)?

Answer Question

7 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist - the real presence of Jesus Christ in the form of bread and wine. The mass is divided into two parts: The Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
    In the Liturgy of the Word there are three readings from the Bible. The first is from the Old Testament. The second is from the New Testament, but is not one of the Gospels. The third reading is from one of the Gospels in the New testament: Mathew, Mark, Luke, or John.

    In the Liturgy of the Eucharist Jesus is made present in the form of bread and wine. By the power of the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Blesses Trinity) the priest consecrates the bread and wine repeating the words of Jesus: "This is my body" and "this is my blood." The congregation then shares in eating the Eucharist, and literally(both physically and spiritually) becomes a part of the body of Christ, that is, the Church Jesus founded on Peter.

      Mass is a word which is used to mention celebration in the Roman Catholic Church, Old Churches and also in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of Anglicanism, and to a greater extent in High Church regions in Scandinavia and Baltic countries the Lutheran Eucharistic service is also called as "the Mass".

      The book of Concord, the Article XXIV "Of the Mass" says "mistakenly are our churches accused of abolishing the Mass; for the Mass is retained among us so that it can be celebrated with the highest reverence." This word is derived from "missa" which is a Latin word. Mass is a theology of Eucharist. The most precious mass is the first Friday holy mass and also the mass during every Sunday which is a matter of proud for Catholics to be there.

        Mass means something different to everyone. Formally it is a service in which you pray to God and thank him for Jesus, you praise him with others who belong to God's family and half way through you have a communion. Thing is it means something different to everyone, some people see it as an escape from their life where they can confess all to God and some just see it as a duty. It is something I love doing because I believe in God

          Mass is where we come together as a community and worship are lord. Some people are not catholics but we will still welcome them in to jesus's heart. Mass means we are celebrating our lords birth and his death, but it also means that we are respecting people. Some people don't go to mass but they could still pray to jesus. Most people talk to our lord in diffrent ways, people go to mass, people talk to him in prays and write down a note and leave it under their pillows

          Mass is usually used in context as the time in which church is in session and communion is being received.
