Another answer

The Catholic Mass is generally divided into two large segments: the Mass of the Catechumens; and the Mass of the Faithful.

The Mass of the Faithful consists of an introductory rite, a penitential rite, the recitation of the Kyrie, on Sundays and major feasts the recitation of the Gloria, and then the collect/prayer of the day.

The Liturgy of the Word is carried out during this part of the mass, it directly follows the Opening Prayer of the day. There are three readings and a psalm on Sundays and major feasts, and two readings and a psalm on weekdays. The gospel follows, directly preceded by the recitation of the Alleluia (proper for the day).

After the gospel the Priest delivers the homily, and the congregation recites the Creed (on Sundays and major feasts).

At this point, the Mass of the faithful begins. It consists of the offertory rites, offertory procession where the gifts are presented to the priest. Then begins the Canon, the Eucharistic prayer, beginning with a proper preface, followed by the recitation of the Sanctus (holy, holy holy...). In the midst of this, the priest begins the institution narrative (The night before he was given up to death he took bread...). This is the point where Transubstantiation occurs.

The Eucharistic prayer ends with the doxology (through him, with him, in him...) and the great Amen. After this the Communion Rite begins. Here is recited the Lord's Prayer ("Our Father"), the fraction of the host, and the reception of holy communion. And finally after all that has been done, the priest dismisses the people. "The mass is ended, Go in peace to love and serve the Lord."

Answer

I think you meant to ask " What are the four parts of the Eucharist"...maybe? 1. Introductory Rite 2. Liturgy of the Word 3. Liturgy of the Eucharist 4. Concluding Rite

Catholic AnswerThe Eucharist is usually divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, the first part of the Mass which includes the greeting, the Penitential Rite, the Gloria, the Readings and the Psalm, the Homily, the Creed, and the Intercessions. The Second half of the Mass is called the Liturgy of the Eucharist, and consists of the preparation of the Gifts, the Eucharistic Prayer, the Communion Rite, the final Prayer, and the Dismissal. AnswerThe Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. Unlike in some Christian denominations, Jesus is not present with the bread and wine, or even in the forms of bread and wine, but under the appearance of bread and wine. This is known as transubstantiation, because the substance itself has changed. Therefore, bread and wine are not considered parts of the Holy Eucharist. AnswerThe Bread, that is the Body Of Christ, and the Wine, which is the Blood Of Christ.

Answer 4

The Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

The Liturgy of the Word begins with the Greeting and Introductory prayers, and is then followed by the daily readings from Holy Scripture according to the Season.

After this comes a short Homily (Sermon), which is then followed by

the Liturgy of the Eucharist, i.e. the Offertory, where the gifts of bread and wine and water which compose the Elements of the Eucharist are offered up to God. This is then followed by the Consecration, where the Elements are Transubstantiated into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, in a bloodless reenactment of the Sacrifice of Calvary which brought about the Redemption of all. After this comes first the Priest's Communion, and then the General Communion of the Faithful present who may according to local tradition receive either the Altar Bread alone, or both the Altar Bread and Wine, under which form the Communicant is receiving the body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. After the Communion there follows a period of silent recollection and Thanksgiving, ending with the dismissal prayers and final blessing after which the service is finished.

Answer 6

The Five Main Parts of the Mass all give praise to God:

The Parts of the Mass

Gathering

First, there is a gathering together. Catholics leave their

ordinary life to gather and meet Jesus. The priest stands in the

place of Jesus. He leads everyone in making the sign of the

cross.

Healing

There is a time called the Penitential Rite. In this time the

people say sorry to God for their sins and ask for healing.

Liturgy of the Word: Readings

In the Mass, people listen to readings from The Bible, the Word

of God, read from the lectern.

The priest then explains to the people what these readings

mean. This is called the homily.

Liturgy of the Word: Creed and Bidding Prayers

People all rise to proclaim the basic belief of the Church. This

is called the Creed.

After this there is a time to ask God for all the needs of the

Church and the World. These are bidding prayers.

Liturgy of the Eucharist: Offertory

In the Mass, people bring gifts up to the altar. These are gifts

of bread and wine. Usually, there is a gift of money, too. This

part is called the Offertory. © 2006 P.J. McHugh

Liturgy of the Eucharist: Eucharistic Prayer

Eucharist means 'thanksgiving'. Jesus said a prayer of

thanksgiving and blessing over the bread and fish. The

priest also asks the Father in heaven to bless the gifts of

bread and wine on the altar.

Liturgy of the Eucharist: Consecration

In the Mass, when the priest says the words of Jesus at the Last

Supper, the gifts of bread and wine are changed miraculously into

Jesus' body and blood.

Communion Rite: Lord's Prayer

All rise together to say the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples. This is

the 'Our Father' or 'Lord's Prayer'. We have one Father in heaven

and we are all his children.

Communion Rite: Communion

The people are invited to share in this marvellous feast of Jesus' body

and blood. This is food for their souls, to strengthen them as they try to follow Jesus.

Tabernacle reservation

In the Mass, the sacred hosts (of Christ's body) are gathered and placed

in the tabernacle. In this special way, Jesus remains present for anyone

who wishes to meet him and say a little prayer.

Dismissal

Jesus said goodbye to the crowds and sent them back to their ordinary lives. The

priest also dismisses the people with the words:

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God
