what is mass?

Question

been reading the bible and I cant find it

Answer 1

The Catholic Mass is the eternal fullfillment of the Jewish Passover in Christ, the sacred remembrance of his saving work, the renewal of his ancient promise of salvation, and it constitutes full and authentic participation in Jesus' perfect, one time, once for all, eternal sacrifice for sin.

It is a supernatural work of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, centered on Jesus Christ, who is mediator, perfect victim, heavenly high priest, and divine sustenance.

The Mass incorporates all of the biblical events mentioned below, and more.

Exo 12:21 And Moses called all the ancients of the children of Israel, and said to them: Go take a lamb by your families, and sacrifice the Pasch.

Luk 22:19 And taking bread, he gave thanks and brake and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.
Luk 22:20 In like manner, the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.

Luk 23:33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there: and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Luk 23:34 And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread,
1Co 11:24 And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me.
1Co 11:25 In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.
1Co 11:26 For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.

Rev 19:9 And he said to me: Write: Blessed are they that are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me: These words of God are true.

If you couldn't discover the Mass in your BIble, there's something missing in your chosen faith tradition.

Answer 2

The Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist.

Catholics believe firmly in believing the actions that they do. Mass is done daily, weekly, and on Holy Days of Obligation. Attending Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation is a requirement of Catholics.

The Mass has two separate parts and seven activities:

Part 1: Instruction: The Liturgy of the Word

1. Gathering
2. Proclaiming
3. Explaining
4. Praying

Part 2: The Liturgy of the Eucharist

1. Offering
2. Consecrating
3. Communion

Answer 3

The Holy Mass is the unbloody reenactment of the sacrifice of Jesus in Calvary on Good Friday. In the Mass, Jesus offers the Father His Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in reparation for our sins. The Mass is celebrated in obedience to what Jesus told His apostles on the Last Supper on Holy Thursday, the day He died. He said, Do this in remembrance of Me". He said, "This is My Body."
So in the Mass the priest acts in "persona Christi" in the person of Christ. The priest transforms the bread into the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. Jesus said, "This is my Blood" so the priest consecrates and transforms the wine into the Blood of Christ. The Mass is the sacrifice of the Holy Eucharist which also means "Thanksgiving". We thank God for all His blessings. It is also the way Catholics worship God in a community. It is the most powerful prayer. Receiving Holy Communion forgives venial sins and obtains numerous graces for the people who partake of the source of all graces - Jesus or God.
If you watched the movie the Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson, the movie shows that the death of Jesus is reenacted in an unbloody way in the Mass.
Watch EWTN on cable tv and see how they show this reality more clearly.
