When the Gloria have finished, we have the Liturgy of The Word, three readings from the bible, there is one reading from old testaments, one reading from new testaments then the Gospel. After the Gospel is the Homily. During the Homily, the priest tells us what the people should learn from the reading and the Gospel.
Then we will have the Creed and bidding prayers, a creed is a summary of what people believe about God the Father, Jesus Christ(the son of God),and the Holy Spirit and the Church.
When the creed and prayers are finished, we will have the offertory. Offertory procession is when bread and wine are taken to the priest. The bread and wine are blessed and the priest blessed the bread and wine which makes it to be the precious body and blood of Jesus.
The priest will read out Luke 22:14-23, it said:
“And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to the disciple, saying “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.” This is where the transubstantiation takes place.
This happened during the Eucharistic prayer after the offertory, it is the prayer of thanksgiving and the prayer will say why you should give thanksgiving.
The Eucharistic prayers are different from different churches but they give out the same message. In CCC1367 and CCC1373, it says the sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist; they think when bread and wine blessed at mass, the come as Jesus dying in a cross and it says:
“Christ Jesus…is the present in many ways to his church…” This shows the Catholics’ faith and they believe Jesus is with them.
Also according to CCC1378, it says Catholics believes bread and wine really become Jesus’ body and blood.
Transubstantiation takes place during the consecration.
After the Eucharistic prayer, we say a prayer of “Lord’s prayer” to ask for the food of eternal life and for forgiveness. Then we have a sign of peace and unity. This is usually a handshake.
After the sign of peace, it is the Holy Communion, at that time they are doing the re-enactment of the Last supper; the communion is recreating the Last Supper.
After the blessing of the bread and wine, the followers will have the communion rite and start getting Jesus’ blessed bread and wine. Usually the priest will drink all the wine and just give out the bread.
After the Holy Communion, we have the last blessing from the priest, the priest will send the follower’s request to the God and show God is loved and served by his people, and then we will have the recessional hymn to let the priest leave.
