Banal na Misa

1. Liturgical Formation
October 3, 2014

3. …will answer
those who say that
mass should not be
celebrated at all

4. Many Protestants of
all denomination,
sects, cults, etc.
who object to the
Catholic celebration
of the mass.

6. 2. at Mass- again they
say – we “crucify” the
Lord again and again,
forgetting that Jesus
died once for all
times.

7. Are these
interpretations
of the Mass
correct?

8. Not by a long shot!
They are the product of
misinformation, ignorance
of the scriptures and of
theology
…Result of deep – seated
anti-catholic sentiment.

9. Everybody knows
that what we adore
in the Eucharist is
not bread but Body
of Christ, and is not
wine but the Blood
of Christ,

10. Why are
they the
Body and
Blood of
Christ?

11. Because Christ
Himself said so; and
being God, Christ is
infallible and cannot
tell an untruth

12. If Christ said
so, what He
said must be
found in the
bible.

14. Because
they
interpret
the Bible
in their
own way

15. They insist
that when
Christ said,
“This is my
Body.” “This is
my Blood,” He
was using a
figure of
speech.

16. ….and that
the real
meaning of
those word, is,
“This is a
symbol of my
Body and

17. Please Read:
John 6:11-13
John 6:22-24
John 6:32-39
John 6:41-44
John 6: 48-51
John 6: 53-58
John 6: 61
John 6: 66-69

18. Jesus
Miracles
Disciples Look for Jesus

19. Jesus
Bread of
Life
Own
flesh
Horrified
disciples
Own
blood
They turn
their backs
from Jesus

20. Did Jesus say
them “wait a
minute, don’t
take it literally;
it is only a
figure of
speech?

22. On the contrary,
Hinayaan nya na
Maraming umalis...
but even, he
challenges his twelve
apostles.

23. “Do
you
also
want to
go”?

24. Tell me – would Jesus
have gone that far if He
had meant his words to
be a mere figure of
speech?

25. second
accusation
that at mass
we “crucify”
the Lord.

26. not only ridiculous
but goes directly
against the bible

28. The Gospel narratives
of the Last supper
show that Jesus
wanted the Eucharist
to be a
SACRAMENTAL
dimension of the
Paschal mystery

29. Paschal
Mystery:
Passion,
death and
resurrection

30. HOLY MASS

31. Mass: the bread and
wine DIE in the
sense that they stop
being bread and
wine

32. and they RISE
in the sense
that they are
changed into
the Body and
Blood of Christ

33. TRANSUBSTANTIATION-change
of
substance

34. This being so, why
don’t non-Catholic
Christians celebrate
the Eucharist

35. They don’t and
they do.

36. They don’t
reasons already
given

37. They do, in the sense
that every now and
then They
commemorate what
they call…..
The Lord Supper

38. But a supper
which is not a
mass but simply
a “fellowship
meal”

39. They also have
bread and wine but
they are mere figure
or symbol of the
Body and Blood of
Christ

40. Example:
Iglesia ni Manalo which
is not Christian
because it does not
believe in the Holy
Trinity and the Divinity
of Christ.

41. La Santa Cena-holds
it once a
year – but as a
fellowship meal
and symbol, not in
the way Jesus
intended it to be.
