Summary

This week on Catholic Sprouts we will go over the parts of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Each day we will look at a few parts of the Mass, what is happening in each part, and what we are supposed to be doing during that part. I will also share some fun and free resources you can use for your family or class to prepare for each Sunday Mass or to review it. A small challenge is included each day based on reading the upcoming Sunday Mass Readings.

+ MONDAY: Let’s look at the two main parts of the Mass and discuss the Introductory Rites, the beginning of Mass.

+ TUESDAY: Today we focus on the First and Second Readings and the Responsorial Psalm. Where do they come from and why are they important?

+ WEDNESDAY: We now look at the Gospel and Homily and the importance of scripture in the Mass. We finish discussing the Liturgy of the Word.

+ THURSDAY: We begin learning about the first part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, with the Offertory Procession and the Eucharistic Prayer.

+ FRIDAY: We conclude our week with the last part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, receiving Communion and the concluding prayers as we leave Mass.

0:31.4	Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Thursday, May 8th, 2025. This week on Catholic Sprouts we are discussing the Mass. Yesterday we completed the Liturgy of the Word. Today, we are going to begin
0:40.9	talking about the Liturgy of the Eucharist. I'm Deanna Bartolini, and I have the delightful role of
0:47.9	preparing the Sunday gospel activities each week on Catholicmom.com. Let's talk about the liturgy of the Eucharist.
0:56.1	So this is the second main part of the Mass,
1:00.6	and it begins when we have the aphatory,
1:05.4	and the gifts are brought up to the priest,
1:08.8	the gifts of bread and wine,
1:10.5	which become the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
1:16.3	Also at this time, there's often an offatory where people put in their monetary gifts.
1:25.1	The church uses those gifts of money to help support the work of the church.
1:31.7	It helps take care of basic things that everybody needs, like how to we keep the lights on,
1:38.5	so the electricity and how do we keep the building warm or cold, whatever it is it needs to be.
1:46.9	We talk about we have to take care of the people who work for the church, and then we also take care of the poor with that money. So all of that
1:54.3	is brought up in the offatory procession to the priest. And like I said, the bread and wine
2:00.7	become the body and blood of Jesus.
2:04.6	There are lots of small pieces to the Eucharistic prayer. There's the first part where there's
2:10.1	an exchange of dialogue. The priest says something and we answer him. We go back and forth.
