Every ordained priest (and Bishop) may celebrate Mass every day of the year, save on Good Friday. The Mass is the re-presentation of Our Blessed Lord's sacrifice of Himself upon the cross for our salvation. It is the only reason that heaven is accessible to us.

What does liturgy mean in Roman Catholic?

Generally For Roman (or Latin Rite) Catholics "liturgy" means any public offical service of the church (as opposed to private donations). So this would include all rites, ceremonies, prayers, sacraments and the like. This is a little different than Eastern Rite Catholics who generally reserve the word "liturgy" for only the Holy Eucharist.


In ancient tradition the liturgy was to be directed to the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit so theologically how is the liturgy a work of the Trinity?

The liturgy is the corporate work of the assembly--it is the work of the people. The people referred are the faithful who are baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. The creation of God, chosen in Christ, have been sanctified in the Holy Spirit, and continue to be sanctified through participation in the prayer of the Church.


What is the difference between the liturgy of the word and the liturgy of the Eucharist?

The Liturgy of the Word consists of the readings (One Old Testament reading, one reading from one of the letters [on Sundays and solemn feast days], and one from the Gospel). These are often followed by the Homily (An exhortation or explanation from the priest).The Liturgy of the Eucharist consists mainly of the consecration and Eucharistic Prayers. Followed by Communion..Catholic AnswerThe Liturgy of the Word, the first half of the Mass (Eucharist) is when Our Blessed Lord is instructing you through proclamations of His Word in the Scriptures, and in the explanation of it through His priest giving the homily. The Second part of the Mass is the Liturgy of the Eucharist when Our Blessed Lord comes in His Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, to give you the graces you need to go out and lead a Christian life. Because this is so holy, it is God, Himself: this is the reason that we can never receive Holy Communion in a state of sin, and must always go to confession before receiving Our Blessed Lord in the Most Holy Eucharist. fromThe Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941324 The Eucharist is the "source and summit of the Christian life." (Lumen Gentium 11) "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch." (Presbyterorum ordinis 5).1364 In the New Testament, the memorial takes on a new meaning. When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, she commemorates Christ's Passover, and it is made present: the sacrifice Christ offered once for all on the cross remains every present. (Cf. Heb 7:25-27) As often as the sacrifice of the Cross by which 'Christ our Pasch has been sacrifice' is celebrated on the altar, the work of our redemption is carried out. (Lumen Gentium 3; cf. 1 Cor 5:7)

What are the parts of Liturgy?

In this context we are referring to Divine Liturgy. The word ' liturgy ' comes from the Greek language and pertains to a public place, building or services generally used for religious gatherings and meetings. Most often these meetings involve performing a eucharistic rite. The word 'eucharist' means to have communion with God and a 'rite' is a ceremony asscociated with public worship. Celebrating a communion with God.They were referring to 'What are the PARTS OF THE LITURGY' not 'Parts of Liturgy'. So, this is not helpful...sorry.And they are:LITURGY OF THE WORD:First ReadingResponsorial PsalmSecond ReadingAlleuia or Gospel AcclamationGospelHomilyProfession of FaithPrayer of the FaithfulLITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST:Preparation of the GiftsPrayer over the OfferingsEucharistic PrayerCommunion RiteLord's PrayerRite of PeaceBreaking of the BreadHoly Communion

Can Mormons celebrate Halloween?

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") can celebrate Halloween if they choose to. Some choose not to, but the majority do celebrate. Congregations often hold Halloween parties or Harvest Festivals the week preceeding Halloween.Just because Mormons have high standards doesn't mean they are party poopers who aren't festive.Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) may choose to celebrate Halloween if they want. Most Mormons in America do, but some do not. The Church has no doctrine or guidelines about Halloween or other holidays.Mormons do believe in the Bible, which states "Abstain from all appearance of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:22) and therefore many Mormons who celebrate Halloween choose to avoid costumes of witches, devils, and zombies for more fun and friendly costumes.
