Chapter 19: The Church Celebrates (The Mass Continues)

 

 

In this lesson your child deepened his or her understanding of the Mass and the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Help your child to appreciate that Jesus is truly present to us in the Liturgy of the Word, preparing us for union with Him in the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Having been reconciled and nourished by the word, we are called to share the Lord's Supper in the Eucharist. With the gifts of bread and wine, we offer ourselves to God as living sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving. Then, renewed by the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ, we are called to be "bread of life" for others--especially the poor and the suffering.

Responding at Mass

Practice the Mass responses with your child. Point them out in My Mass Book and encourage your child to participate as fully as possible at Mass.
