Why Is Mass Important To Catholics?

Question

I need help for my history! lol! please give descent answers, and i promise i will not copy what you have written!

Answer 1

The Mass:
+ Is the principal sacramental celebration of the Catholic Church
+ Was established by Jesus at the Last Supper
+ Renews the mystery of our salvation through participation in the sacrificial death and glorious resurrection of Christ

In the Mass, we:
+ Gather as one family
+ Admit our sins, ask God for forgiveness, and the saints and each other for prayer and support
+ Glorify God
+ Listen to, ponder and reflect on His Word from the Scriptures
+ Pray for the Church, the world, those in need, and ourselves
+ Celebrate the Eucharist (Holy Communion) in obedience with Christ's command to "do this in memory of me."
+ Are sent out into the world to love and serve the Lord and one another

It is called "Mass" (from the Latin missa) because of the "mission" or "sending" with which the liturgical celebration concludes.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Dude, use a seek engine to uncover your solutions! I simply googled "Catholic Mass" and this got here up "The Catholic Church sees the Mass as essentially the most best method it has to present latria (adoration) to God. The Church believes that "The different sacraments, and certainly all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are sure up with the Eucharist and are orientated closer to it."[four] It could also be Catholic notion that during function fact, now not simply symbolically, the wheaten bread and grape wine are changed into Christ's frame and blood, a conversion known as transubstantiation, in order that the entire Christ, frame and blood, soul and divinity, is real, fairly, and extensively contained within the sacrament of the Eucharist.[five]" the web is your pal! study how one can use it!

Answer 3

The short answer is that Christ commanded us to receive His body and blood as a means of receiving His grace. It is a free gift of our Lord and we would not be within His will to refuse His gift.

The Eucharist is the offering of Christ the Son to the Father as a sacrifice and it is the Father who accepts the offering for all mankind. It is Christ that gave the Eucharist to us so that we can offer it to God the Father for our eternity with Him. Present is the Holy Spirit who fills the participants with discernment and thankfulness for His presence. It is at this time that the whole Church, militant, suffering and triumphant across all time are united in celebration the offering of His one atoning sacrifice. We are all present at the foot of the cross with St. John and St Mary. In His miracle Christ has truly made the past present in the miraculous celebration that transcends time and space. In the Eucharist all of creation is presented to God the Father just as all of creation is transformed by the sacrifice of Christ so are we in restoration of the priestly role of Adam that was lost due to sin.
