- Part 3:The liturgy of the eucharist (Meeting Christ)
- The offertory-Bread and wine brought to altar
- Eucharistic prayer:Last supper is re-enacted, Holy spirit is called to change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus .This called transubstantiation(high point of mass so congregation kneels)
- Communion rite-Catholics recieve holy communion-They share in and are nourished by christ
- Importance
- Jesus is present during the mass because of transubstantiation
- sacrament so way of receiving grace and growing closer to God and salvation
- It is a celebration of the resurrection and so it shows eternal life
- communal activity so it brings the community together
- It is called a commmunion because its a way to share in communion with eachother and christ so creating the church as the body of christ
- "Really partaking of the body of the lord in the breaking of the eucharist bread, we are taken up into communion with him and one another"- Lumen gentium
- "The celebration of the eucharist is the heart of Christian communion"- CCC
- Divergent views- non liturgical worship this means-
- Much less formal
- No set prayers or rituals
- Leader is free to choose prayers, hymns ect
- often spontaneous congregational participation
