The sermon (homily) is up to the individual priest this is the easiest part just sit and listen. As for the litergy. Just follow what everyone eles does and following allow with the missle for some responces. Just to give you a heads up there will be many that you don't know because it's not written anywhere. But for a heads up there will be an opening song/prayers {stand} reading/responce from Psalms(sung)/ reading {sit} Gospel {stand} homily/sermon {sit} Prayers of the faithful {stand} offertory {sit} prayers {stand} after holy holy is sung {kneel} after great Amen (usually sung) {stand} Our Father/ sign of peace {standing} say peace be with you shake hands of people around you Sing Lamb of God then {kneel} remain kneeling Catholic will then go up to recieve the Eucharist Theologically, Catholics hold that Communion is the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus in the form of bread and wine. According to St Paul, anyone who receives of the cup unworthily is sinning. If you allow people who do not believe to recieve, then you are allowing some to recieve unworthily. Also, to recieve communion, you show yourself to be a member of the Church. It is a sacrament of Initiation, has it has the effect of binding us together symbolically and spiritually. To receive when you are not a part is to show a unity that sadly does not exist, but should be worked towards. Non-Theologically, to ask the Church to open the sacrament to those who do not agree with her is to ask her to violate God's commands. We are to be a people set apart. It is a sacrament given to us by Jesus and man has no right to alter the rules. Remain kneeling general rule when the priests sits you sit or when others around you sit you sit Final Blessing/ Song {stand} I hope you enjoy your visit to the Catholic Church! : ) |

What is the significance of Jesus gave his speech on the
sermon of the mount, and back
then people were really strict
on keeping these rules, but
what does the sermon on the
mount mean to us today?

To my way of thinking, Christ's sermon applies as much today as it did to those who were present with Him then. The fact that a lot of people are lazy and sinful does not mean that it's ok for everyone to fall that way. By saying, "Gee, nobody does that anymore," does not change our Lord's teachings or commandments to us. Young people, especially, need to know this. |
