Praying the Mass is the fully conscious and active participation in the Eucharist through prayerful engagement aided by proper understanding and preparation. This includes meditating on Scripture readings, studying Mass prayers and structure, and making a good confession and fasting for at least an hour before receiving Communion. During Mass, we should be attentive, unite our prayers to the priest's words and actions, respond clearly, listen carefully, and maintain reverent silence. After Mass, we thank God for his gifts and make resolutions. Realizing the supernatural dimension of the Eucharist can help with difficulties like boredom or inability to receive Communion.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

importance.
The Liturgy is the source and summit of our Catholic faith and it
is the font from which all of the power of the Church flows.

29. How the Post-Communion Prayer
relates to the dismissal
Prayer after Communion from the Evening
Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday:
Grant, almighty God,
that, just as we are renewed
by the Supper of your Son
in the present age,
so may we enjoy the
banquet for all eternity.
31. How the Post-Communion Prayer
relates to the dismissal
The dynamic of this prayer is that it forms a link with life
lived outside of the Eucharistic action, which the Concluding
Rites make explicit.
32. How the Post-Communion Prayer
relates to the dismissal
The dynamic of this prayer is that it forms a link with life
lived outside of the Eucharistic action, which the Concluding
Rites make explicit.
In effect this prayer reminds us that we‘gather’ for the
sacred Eucharist in order to be‘dismissed’ from it.

The Dismissal/Concluding Rites
Final Blessing
Simple formula: a greeting and the sign of the cross.
36. We Go Forth
The Dismissal/Concluding Rites
Final Blessing
Simple formula: a greeting and the sign of the cross.
During the seasons of the Church year and special feasts, it is done more
solemnly. In those times, we bow our head and pause in silence to ask for
God’s blessing as the priest makes several invocations.

The Dismissal/Concluding Rites
Final Blessing
Simple formula: a greeting and the sign of the cross.
During the seasons of the Church year and special feasts, it is done more
solemnly. In those times, we bow our head and pause in silence to ask for
God’s blessing as the priest makes several invocations.
In both forms we conclude the same way we began Mass, signing
ourselves with the sign of Christ’s cross. A final reminder that we are a
baptized member of the body of Christ.

51. We Go Forth
Living out the Mission
“The dismissal of the assembly is like the breaking of the bread. We have become ‘the
bread of life’ and ‘the cup of blessing’ for the world. Now we are scattered, broken,
poured out to be life for the world. What happens at home, at work, at meals? What do
we make of our time, our words, our deeds, our resources of all kinds? This is what
matters.”
--Joseph Cardinal Bernardin
54. We Go Forth
Living out the Mission
We are called to take inside ourselves God’s Word,
body and blood and allow God to change us in
holiness and to live this change in everything we
do.
56. We Go Forth
Living out the Mission
“We could mark the moments till our next opportunity to go to
Mass. But in the meantime we must live the Mass. This is what
the church means by “source and summit” of Christian life...Our
life in the world should be our preparation for the next
Eucharist.”
--Archbishop Donald Wuerl

“We could mark the moments till our next opportunity to go to

Eucharist.”
--Archbishop Donald Wuerl
If someone would ask St. Francis de Sales what he was doing, he would always respond...
“I’m preparing for Mass.”
60. We Go Forth
Living out the Mission
“Our communities, when they celebrate the Eucharist, must become
ever more conscious that the sacrifice of Christ is for all, and that the
Eucharist thus compels all who believe in him to become "bread that
is broken" for others, and to work for the building of a more just and
fraternal world.” (Sacramentum Caritatis, 88)
62. Dealing with Changes...
Where Do We Go From Here?
Remember...This isn’t the first time we’ve done this
We are not alone...
Look at this as an opportunity to reflect on the words we say... Let’s move
from saying to praying
Keep an open mind & heart
Prayer... Integrate these newly translated prayers into your daily prayer
routine (i.e. The Gloria)
