What else can I help you with?
Why do you call the Holy Mass a sacrifice?
Roman Catholic AnswerBecause that is what it is! The Mass is the re-presentation of Our Blessed Lord's sacrifice of Himself on the Cross at Calvary. At the Mass, we are privileged to witness Our Lord's sacrifice - the once and only sacrifice - and to participate in the graces He extends through it to us.
Is Eucharist the same as Holy Communion?
Yes, in the Catholic Church, the Eucharist and Holy Communion refer to the same thing; although the Eucharist not only refers to His abiding presence in Holy Communion, it may also refer to the Real Presence or the Sacrifice of the Mass.
If Jews made sacrifice before the temple why not after?
The sacrifices were only made inside the Holy Temple. Once it was destroyed, there was no other place that the sacrifices could be made.
What are the religious leaders in the church service for Catholicism?
Your question is a little confusing, but if you are asking who is appointed by Our Blessed Lord to lead the people during a Church service, that would be any duly appointed minister. The primary worship "service" of the Catholic Church is the Holy Mass which is nothing like a protestant "service", except in some outward similarities. The Holy Mass is the re-presentation of Our Blessed Lord's sacrifice of Himself upon the Cross for our salvation. The celebration of the Mass makes us present at that once only sacrifice two thousand years ago in Calvary.
Who hands out the holy bread at mass?
the priest can only hands out the consecrated bread at mass.
What day is Holy Communion not distributed?
The only day holy communion is not distributed is on Good Friday, the same day there is no mass. The only church on Good Friday is the adoration, which doesn't include communion and isn't counted as mass. It is a "continuation" of the mass on Holy Thursday, which isn't ended until the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.Correction:Communion is distributed on Good Friday using hosts consecrated at the Mass on Holy Thursday. It is not distributed on Holy Saturday until the vigil Mass that evening.
How is the Mass useful in your everyday life?
The Mass is the re-presentation of Our Blessed Lord's (Jesus Christ) sacrifice of Himself on Calvary for our salvation. It is NOT done "again" - it is a miracle in which He allows you to be present at the once and only event two thousand years ago. All of the graces that the world needs to be holy and to attain heaven come from the Mass. Without Our Blessed Lord, the world would not exist. In short, the Mass contains everything that is needful for your life.
What is the only day there is no Mass in the Roman Catholic tradition?
Holy Mass is never celebrated on Good Friday, the day of Our Blessed Lord's death on the cross, instead, the Cross is venerated, intercessions are offered, and Holy Communion is given that was consecrated the day before on Holy Thursday.
How does Mass and Good Friday relate?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Mass is the re - presentation of the self-sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross and the application of the benefits of that once only sacrifice to all of those present at Mass. In a way beyond our understanding, when you are at Mass you are actually witnessing the one time only Crucifixion of Our Blessed Lord on Calvary twenty centuries ago, remember there is no time with God, and this is His miracle to make it possible for all of us to be there. Good Friday is the commemoration of Christ's sacrifice on the cross at Calvary. Every other day of the year, the Mass is that commemoration.
Do you have to go to Mass again if you went to Christmas Mass on Saturday?
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, if Christmas falls on a Saturday, you must attend Mass for the Holy Day, and then again on Sunday for the Sunday. In the United States, the obligation for a Holy Day is abrogated if the Holy Day falls on Saturday only for *some* Holy Days of Obligation - Christmas is NOT one of them.
How many times is the holy communion celebrated in your life?
it is only once in life
Is there communion during ash Wednesday mass?
