The priest says, "This is my body" when blessing the bread and "This is my blood" when blessing the wine during the Eucharist.
One might say the priest blesses the bread and wine when he offers it to the Father at the Offertory. But it sounds like you are asking when he consecrates it (not blesses). He consecrates it during the Eucharistic Prayer when he bends over the bread and pronounces the words of Jesus: This is My Body, and when he bends over the chalice and pronounces This is the chalice of My Blood given for you.....
A bishop is first of all a priest and can say mass as any priest can.
Amen.
If you mean the Liturgy of the Word, then I say it is the part of Mass when the priest spreads the Word of the First and Second Reading, opposed to the Liturgy of the Eucharist, when he goes through the ritual of administering the Eucharist. Actually the term "liturgy of the world" refers to Catholic theologian Karl Rahner's thought that our everyday lives are the worship we offer to God, and are the way God graces us. The worship of everyday life does not replace the liturgical rites of the Church, but rather helps to give context and meaning to the liturgy. As well, the liturgy gives context and meaning to the rest of our life. When we go to celebrate liturgy, we bring our everyday life with us, and offer it to God with the sacrifice of worship in the rites. As we return to our life, we bring the grace of the liturgy to our everyday pursuits, and find that there is a mutual transformation, a mutual informing of the rites and our life.
Roman Catholic AnswerThere are two main parts of the Mass, before 1962 they were known as the Mass of the Catechumens and the Mass of the Faithful. Now the first part is known as the Liturgy of the Word, and the second part is known as the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The Liturgy of the Word runs up through the sermon and the intercessions. Then the Mass moves to the altar and the second part continues with the Offering of the Gifts. The Mass of the Faithful and the Canon (or sacrifice) of the Mass The first part is the Mass of the Catechumens, as it was called before the Second Vatican Council, and is now split into two pieces: the Introductory Rites, which lasts from the Priests entrance until the conclusion of the Opening Prayer following the Gloria, and the Liturgy of the Word which lasts from the first reading until the General Intercessions.The second part of the Mass is the Liturgy of the Eucharist, also called the Mass of the Faithful prior to the Second Vatican Council, which lasts from the Presentation of the Gifts until the Dismissal.In brief, there are three main parts:The Introductory RitesThe Liturgy of the WordThe Liturgy of the EucharistIn the Introductory Rites, we prepare ourselves for the Sacrifice of the Mass by Praising God, (opening hymn) Making the Sign of the cross (Everything we do is Trinitarian) and acknowledging our sins (We say together the "I confess"). We ask God for his mercy (Kyrie Eleison, or Lord have mercy) and then usually say or sing the "Glory to God", which recalls the song of the angels at the birth of Jesus. Following the opening prayer we move onto theLiturgy of the Word - where we meet Christ in the scriptures., Usually, a passage of the Old Testament, then a psalm with its response, then a passage from the New Testament (letter of St Paul to the Church, usually) and then the Alleluia (except in Lent) and the Gospel . This is followed by the homily, where the priest explains the scriptures (usually the Gospel) and how we can put it into practice,. This is followed by the Creed, and then the Bidding Prayers (where we pray for the Church and the world).The Liturgy of the Eucharist follows. (this needs a whole section by itself, but briefly includes the prayers of Offeringl whereby bread and wine are blessed and offered, and God is thanked for his goodness and provision. The Holy SPirit is invoked, to change them into the body and blkood of Christ, and the words of the Last Supper are said "This is my body, this is my blood".

During the Liturgy of the Word (the first half or so) the readings and the Gospel are read aloud, and the homily is delivered.

There are three readings and a psalm on Sundays and major feasts, and two readings and a psalm on weekdays.

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."Readings from Sacred Scripture (Liturgy of the Word) and the Sacrament of the Eucharist (Liturgy of the Eucharist).
No, only a priest can say Mass. An Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist could, with pastoral permission, hold a Communion Service and distribute hosts that were previously consecrated by a priest.
The two main parts of the Mass are the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The first used to be called the Mass of the Faithful and encompassed everything up to through the Creed and Intercessions. The Second is everything from the Offertory through the dismissal.AnswerThere are two main parts of the Mass, before 1962 they were known as the Mass of the Catechumens and the Mass of the Faithful.

The purpose of the Eucharist in mass is for everyone to take in Jesus. The Bread and Winebecomes the Body and Blood of Christ once the priest has blessed it.To be able to take Communion you must have had you first Holy Communion. Once you have had it you can receive Bread and Wine (The body and Blood) at Church. When you go up for Communion the priest will say "the body of Christ" and will have to answer "Amen" to receive it.
There are seven sacraments in the Catholic Church, so which three the question is specifically referring to is unknown. Most certainly at Christmas the Holy Eucharist is distributed during Mass, but other than that, all the other sacraments have no particular place in the liturgy of Christmas. Perhaps you refer to the traditional boon granted to priests that they may celebrate Holy Mass three times during Christmas, once at midnight, once at day break and once in during the day. Usually a priest is allowed to say Mass only once a day, unless necessity dictates otherwise.
During the imposition of ashes on Ash Wednesday, the priest typically says, "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
Of course. A Priest can say or help in a Mass as long as it is in a ROman Catholic Church in any church anywhere. In fact if a priest is in the congregation he is expected to help esp during the consecration in order to fulfill his daily Mass requirements
