Why we do What we do at Mass

Every Advent and Lent, I try to teach some sort of class. This Lent, our topic was Why we do What we do at Mass. Using the Second Vatican Council document Sacrosanctum Concilium as our guide, we went through the Mass, part by part, for six weeks. We all enjoyed it, and we thought you might too. 

Introductory Rites:



Liturgy of the Word:



Creed and Offertory: 



Sacred Art and Music: 



Liturgy of the Eucharist:



Holy Communion and Dismissal:



Good stuff. I really enjoyed teaching this class and learned a lot. My greatest take away, is that our current liturgy, known as the Mass of Paul VI, is a more mature form of the liturgy, because it requires full, conscious, and active participation by the lay faithful in the pews. Ranching intentionally.
