What is Christian service?

Answer 1

The quintessential act of worship attended by Catholics is called, "the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass" or, "Mass" for short. It is not properly referred to as a service: on Good Friday, when Mass is not said, a Good Friday service is held, here called a service since there is no consecration. Thus a Mass and a service are two different things in the Catholic way of speaking. See the redirect below for further information regarding the Mass.

During Mass readings from the Old and New Testament are made, prayers are sung and recited as well as hymns and the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist is celebrated via its consecration and distribution to the faithful in attendance.

Christian service is the act of doing work for God with a willing heart. For example, willingly spending your time and resources to aid the propagation of the gospel. See Deut 6:13 and Psalm 2:11

Answer 2

Catholic AnswerFirst of all, It's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church.

The Catechism lists 11 different subjects under "service." The overall, embracing definition, given by Our Blessed Lord, is given below. The Catechism of the Catholic Churchlists, under service: of angels, authority as, civil, deacons as ministers ordained for, family's service as ministry to life, interdependence of creatures and, of lay people in the ecclesial community, liturgy as service of God, of one's country, rendered to civil authorities and to God, as a way to follow Christ. However, the primary definition of service is given by Our Blessed Lord in St. Matthew's Gospel, chapter 22, verses 37, and 39:

from

Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Service: In general, performing one's religious duty as a creature toward God, and fulfilling one's moral responsiblity of meeting the needs of others. To serve God is the primary obligaiton of human beings, personally and socially, to be done in acts of worship and prayer; and in acts of virtue as prescribed by the natural and revealed laws of God. This corresponds to the first three commandments of the Decalogue, and is summarized in the precept to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). To serve others is the secondary obligation of a person, deriving from the preceding duty and depending on it. This corresponds to the last seven commandments of god and is synthesized in the precept "You must love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39). On these two commandments of serve, Christ says, rest the whole law and the Prophets also.
