Mass: What to Expect

The central Catholic act of worship is attending the Mass, or Divine Liturgy. The Mass is divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. 

During the first part, the priest leads us in prayer and songs, praising God, thanking Him, and asking Him for forgiveness. We hear Scripture readings, the priest gives a talk, and then we all pronounce the core principles of our faith. 

During the middle of the Mass, there is an exchange of a sign of peace. There has been a long history and it has become an important sign of our communion with one another before we receive Holy Communion. Therefore, it is important that we reintegrate this sign into our liturgies. When the celebrant of the Mass offers Christ’s peace to the faithful, he says, “The peace of the Lord be with you always” to which the congregation responds, “And with your spirit.” Having exchanged Christ’s peace between the celebrant and the congregation, the invitation to share that peace with one another is extended: “Let us offer one another a sign of peace.” This can be done in a variety of ways: a traditional handshake, a bow of the head or simple wave to one another, or a vocal exchange of peace with one another. What is important is that we respect one another’s decision as to how to exchange peace with our neighbor. If people feel uncomfortable with a physical sign such as a handshake, that should be honored by others. In that spirit, we show our communion with one another as we prepare to receive the Lord in Holy Communion.  


In the last part of the mass, the priest says the blessing, transforming bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. We all say the "Our Father" prayer, and then receive communion. Finally, there is a closing prayer and final blessing.
