THE HOLYSACRIFICE
OF THE MASS:
According to the
Roman Missal of200o
Eucharistic Renewal

Eucharistic Renewal
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the
bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the
world.” John 6:51

Renewing the Church by brightening a
living relationship with the Lord Jesus
Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
The Eucharist: Source of Our Healing
and Hope
Seeks to show the truth of the Real
Presence and inspire Catholics to
renew and deepen their devotion to
Christ in the Eucharist.

W H Y NOW?
Because the church needs healing and
the world needs the Church. Our world is
hurting. We all need healing

Yet many of us are
separated from the very
source of our strength.
Jesus Christ invites us
to return to the source
and summit of our faith:
his real presence in the
Eucharist. In the
Eucharist

The Gift of the Eucharist
Archbishop Lori reflects on God’s gift
of his Son, present among us in the
emptied himself, became one of
Blessed Sacrament – the one who
us,
preached, healed, suffered and died,
rising from the dead to defeat sin and
death. In the Eucharist, we make living
contact with Jesus, the gift of the
Father, the gift of love and the gift of
peace.

What should be our response to so great
a gift?
At the very least we should participate in
Holy Masses every Sunday and other
Holydays of obligation. Holy Hour and
adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

MISSION – to renew the Church by
brightening a living relationship with the
Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist
VISION – to inspire a movement of
Catholics who are healed, converted,
formed, and unified by an encounter
with Jesus in the Eucharist –and who are
then sent out on mission ‘for the life of
the world.”

It takes time to kindle a living, loving
relationship – and a relationship with
Jesus Christ is no exception. That’s
why the Eucharist Revival allows us to
discern, encounter, and response on
the diocesan, parish and individual
levels.

Eucharistic Revival “is not a program but a
movement that is an invitation to the faithful
from God to go on mission and be
compelling witnesses of our faith.” “We the
church have to be clear about telling our story,
getting to the core” of our faith, that God is
not just some distant someone who is not
engaged,” “He is alive and real and can be
encountered in the Eucharist, source and
summit of the faith … This is where God is
with us.”

Who ever eats My flesh
and drinks My blood has
eternal life, and I will
raise them up at the last
day. For my flesh is food
indeed, and My blood is
drink indeed. He who
eats My flesh and drinks
My blood abides in Me,
and I in him.
John 6:54-56

In communion it is not that Christ
become part of our life but the
truth, it is us who become part of
the life of Christ. Being part of His
mission –TO EVANGELIZE.
It is how beautiful the Body
of Christ.

What is the Eucharist?
• First and Foremost: Sacrifice of the Cross

Sacrifice
• Christ’s total self-gift of complete Love to the Father
for us and our sins
• Sacrifice of Thanksgiving
• Sacrifice of Praise
• Sacrifice of Atonement and Reparation
• Sacrifice of the New Covenant
• The great prayer of Jesus

Key Attitudes in Participating in the Mass
• Awareness of the meanings of the Eucharist

spiritual realities
• But also, exterior/physical actions/words are meant
to draw the interior/spiritual toward the truth
expressed

their meaning

through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Striking the Breast

Communion Rite: Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;
• The whole Mass is Christ’s Prayer to the Father: Cross
• Intimacy: God not as “Almighty,” but as “Father.”
thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven.
• And yet, he is a King.
• His kingdom has come to earth: heaven has come down
to earth in the Eucharist
Give us this day our daily bread,
The Eucharist is the “new manna”/” “bread from heaven”:
the true daily Bread that sustains us in Divine life

Communion Rite
and forgive us our trespasses,
• Again, we recognize our sinfulness: humility, repentance
• The sacrifice of the Cross is the source of all forgiveness
• Forgiveness of venial sins is direct effect of the Eucharist
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
• We must be like what we receive: Christ
• It us more like Christ, so we can forgive
and lead us not into temptation,
The Eucharist has lasting effects: grace to resist temptation
but deliver us from evil.
It is the ultimate source of deliverance: the Cross

Communion Rite
Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,
graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
[Friendly nod to our separated brethren]
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours
now and for ever.

Communion Rite
Lord Jesus Christ,
who said to your Apostles:
Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,
John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I
do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts
be troubled and do not be afraid.”
Context of the Last Supper
Internal peace:
• in your heart
• not like the world’s
• This is a fruit of the Eucharist

Communion Rite
look not on our sins,
but on the faith of your Church,
Again, humility and repentance.
Unity of the Church

Communion Rite
and graciously grant her peace and unity
in accordance with your will.
John 17:11 …Holy Father, protect them by the power of your
name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we
are one…21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are
in me and I am in you. …. 22 I have given them the glory that
you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them
and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete
unity.
Unity in Christ: Communion
Unity and Peace: fruit of Eucharist you are about to receive

Communion Rite
Sign of Peace:
The Priest, turned towards the people, extending and then
joining his hands, adds:
The peace of the Lord be with you always.
And with your spirit.
Invitation to Exchange a Sign of Peace:
Option of the Priest, “if appropriate.”

Invitation to Exchange a Sign of Peace
God is Near Us, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, 2003
“The early Church understood the mystery of the
Eucharist as underlying the expression of "peace" …for it is
there that God does in fact come to meet us, that he sets
us free, that…he takes us in his arms, gives himself to
us…The Eucharist is peace from the Lord....In each
Eucharistic assembly what happened on the evening of
Easter Day was repeated for them. The Risen One came in
among his disciples and spoke to them: Peace be with
you…

Invitation to Exchange a Sign of Peace
Last Supper, the first Eucharist, hours before the Cross:
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the
world gives do I give to you” (John 14:27).
Easter, hours after he rose from the dead, in the same
upper room, to the same Apostles, His first words:
“Peace be with you.” (John 20:19)
The sign of peace is a solemn ritual sign of the Paschal
peace flowing from and leading back to the Eucharist.

“Pacem relinquo vobis,”
Congregation for Divine Worship, 6/8/14
“In contradistinction to...other liturgical traditions” this is
not a rite of reconciliation “inspired by....St. Matthew”
“if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there
remember that your brother has something against you,
leave your gift …; first be reconciled to your brother…” (Mt
5: 23-24).

In the Rite of Communion for a reason: BETWEEN
• The OF embolism, which “prepares for the gesture…”
• …graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the
help of your mercy, …free from sin and safe from all
distress…
• The Lamb of God, who “is implored to give us his
peace.”
• “you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace”

The Church
• “implores peace and unity for herself and for the whole
human family”
• “the faithful express to each other their ecclesial
communion and mutual charity before communicating
in …the Body of Christ the Lord.”
A Ritual Prayer and Prayerful Gesture

“If the faithful through their ritual gestures do not
appreciate …the authentic meaning of the rite of
peace….their fruitful participation at the Eucharist is
impaired.”
• If …it will not take place properly …or if it is not
considered pedagogically wise…it …ought to be
omitted.”
• “where familiar and profane gestures of greeting were
previously chosen, they could be replaced with other
more appropriate gestures.”

Specific “abuses” which must be eliminated:
• “only the briefest of time is envisaged for the exchange
of peace to those are who nearest.”
• “the exchange of peace being the occasion for
expressing congratulations, best wishes or
condolences….”

Agnus Dei
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
have mercy on us.
grant us peace.
• Sacrifice
• Repentance

Silent Prayers of the Priest
Commixtio:
May this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord
Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.
• Reunification of Body and Blood symbolizes the
Resurrection

Silent Prayers of the Priest
Private Preparation and Genuflection
Lord Jesus Christ…free me by this, your most holy Body
and Blood, from all my sins and from every evil; keep me
always faithful to your commandments, and never let me
be parted from you.
• The priest is unworthy too;
• he stands in the person of Christ, but is NOT Christ.
• So he prepares as a penitent and genuflects before
His God

Behold
Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the
sins of the world. [John 1:29] Blessed are those called to
the supper of the Lamb. [Rev. 19:9]
Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my
roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
[Matt. 8:8]
• Shows the Host: adoration
• Salvific Sacrifice
• Humility and Repentance—and Faith
• The Wedding Feast of the Lamb

After Communion:
What else could there be?
• Purifications
• Prayer After Communion (Proper) Final Blessing
(Trinitarian) Dismissal: “Ita Missa est” (Go, the Mass is
ended)
