Preparation of the Gifts
Bread and wine brought to the priest
Shows that it is a sacrifice from the whole Church
Words and actions are always meaningful in the Mass
Why bread and wine?
Many grains become one bread, and grapes become one wine
Like many people make up the Mystical Body of Christ
The Church
Grain is ground, grapes are crushed
Must die to self to unite with Christ
Need to offer ourselves to God along with the gifts
Hymns may be sung to help us understand the actions
Prayers acknowledge God’s goodness and creation
Ask Him to bless the spiritual food and drink
After priest offers the bread and wine to God, we respond:
“blessed be God forever”Slide4
Washing of the Hands
Signifies purity we need to receive Communion
Prayer that God washes away our sins
“Lord wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sins”
Psalm 51:2
Priest then invites people to pray that God accepts the sacrifice at his hands
For three reasons
Praise and glory of God’s nameGod’s glory is most importantFor our benefitFor the good of all the ChurchSlide5
