The moment during mass when transubstantiation occurs is called the consecration.
Holy Thursday is the mass of the last Supper. After the Gloria, during which bells are rung, the bells go silent until Easter when Jesus is risen. So during communion when the bells are usually rung several times during the communion prayer and consecration, the church used to use wood blocks clapped together instead of bells, a reminder to the people that something special is happening in the Mass. This practice is no longer done in the usual Mass since the Vatican Council.
Striking one's breast three times during the Consecration in a Catholic Mass is a gesture of penance and humility, symbolizing sorrow for sin and a plea for mercy. This action is part of the "Agnus Dei" or "Lamb of God" prayer, reflecting the congregation's recognition of their unworthiness and need for God's grace. It serves as a reminder of the sacrificial nature of the Eucharist and the importance of repentance in the faith.
It is appropriate to kneel during a Catholic Mass at specific times, such as during the consecration of the Eucharist, the Our Father prayer, and the Lamb of God prayer.
The response to the consecration during a Catholic Mass is called the "Acclamation." Typically, this response includes phrases such as "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." It serves as a proclamation of faith in the mystery of the Eucharist and the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ.
No, the ciborium is not a part of the Mass; however, it is used during the Mass. A ciborium is a covered cup that is used to hold unconsecrated hosts during the Mass and then, after consecration, it is used to keep the reserved (left over) Hosts in the Tabernacle.
Oscar Romero was shot during the consecration at a Mass he was saying on March 24, 1980.
An altar bell is a bell rung in the Roman Catholic church at significant times during the Mass.
A sacring-bell is a small bell or set of bells rung at the raising of the host during Mass.
the consecration
The prayer of consecration, known as the Canon of the Mass, does not change, there are four optional Canons, plus some others in the back of the Missal for special occasions such as penance services, but the priest may use the same Canon for every Mass he celebrates.
i think that consecration means that to make holy. if you are asking something about the bible, that consecration means that is a part of a mass when the bread and wine turns into the body and blood of our lord, Jesus.
