I need to know what the Latin catholics pray before and after taking the holy bread and wine?

Question

I am a christian girl and want to know more about the Latin mass and about the roles to be ready for taking the body of Jesus?

Answer 1

Catholics prepare to receive the Body of Christ in the same way, whether they attend Mass in Latin or English.

To receive communion one must be free from mortal sin (go to confession, if needed). Catholics usually say a prayer right before receiving - something written or just a private devotional.

You asked for a little bit of information about the Latin mass.
This traditional mass is basically the one which was used exclusively by Roman Catholics all over the world until after the Second Vatican Council in the 1960's.

The Latin mass is more solemn and has more Scripture and more theologically rich prayers than the Novus Ordo Mass in English that most Catholics attend. You follow along with a Missal which has everything translated for you. Communion is always taking while kneeling and the host is placed directly on the tongue.

Answer 2

When I was a seminarian I don't remember a guideline for prayers before and after communion. It's supposedly personal choice, but at this time you also have an option to offer your communion to a departed love one or to the dead of no particular choice (this is an intercession if they happen to be still in purgatory). I do remember however that I loved Latin masses the most and we had at least one mass everyday, and masses of different types and languages.

Answer 3

Well first role is not to follow the Roman or Latin Catholics.

1 Corinthians 11:23-34
23 For this is what the Lord himself said, and I pass it on to you just as I received it. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took a loaf of bread,

24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

25 In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant between God and you, sealed by the shedding of my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it."

26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until he comes again.

27 So if anyone eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily, that person is guilty of sinning against the body and the blood of the Lord.

28 That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking from the cup.

29 For if you eat the bread or drink the cup unworthily, not honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God's judgment upon yourself.

30 That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.

31 But if we examine ourselves, we will not be examined by God and judged in this way.

32 But when we are judged and disciplined by the Lord, we will not be condemned with the world.

33 So, dear brothers and sisters, when you gather for the Lord's Supper, wait for each other.

34 If you are really hungry, eat at home so you won't bring judgment upon yourselves when you meet together.I'll give you instructions about the other matters after I arrive.

God Bless You!

Answer 4

There are many public prayers prayed together during Mass before communion and privately one says what one feels silently.

This site answers your question but its a tad detailed

Short answer for recieving the Body and Blood one must be baptized and believe everything the Roman Catholic Church teaches.

This is stated by St. Justin Martyr in his First Apology

"And this food is called among us Εὐχαριστία [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh. For the apostles, in the memoirs composed by them, which are called Gospels, have thus delivered unto us what was enjoined upon them; that Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, said, "This do in remembrance of Me, Luke 22:19 this is My body;" and that, after the same manner, having taken the cup and given thanks, He said, "This is My blood;" and gave it to them alone. Which the wicked devils have imitated in the mysteries of Mithras, commanding the same thing to be done. For, that bread and a cup of water are placed with certain incantations in the mystic rites of one who is being initiated, you either know or can learn."

Answer 6

Well you have to be batpized Catholic in order to take communion.

So no use getting ready for it since you can't take it.

Answer 7

the eucharist is symbolic canabalism stolen from the cult of osiris. it is a pagan practice meant to give the eater a godlike quality.

it is not a jewish practice and jesus would not have performed it unless he was a heretic, a transgressor of the law.

if the bible correctly states that he practiced an egyption ceremony, then he could not have been the messiah.

if he were the messiah, he would not transgress the law with this ceremony.

either way, it is wrongful for you to practice this 5,000 year old ceremony.

Answer 8

i live down there and there really is no difference that they do. they say peace to eachother and hold hands. the priest does the faith confession (i think thats what its called)
