TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

If you could somehow transport a third-century Christian into your twenty-first-century Sun-
Monday to Thursday 8am-4:30pm day Mass, once the initial shock wore off he or she would be more or less at home with the
(Closed for Lunch 1pm-1:30pm) structure of the first part of the liturgy, the Word. The second part might be more difficult to
comprehend. The stumbling block would be the book. We have a book, a missal that is set
Sunday 9am-4pm down on the altar with a very precisely prescribed set of words for the priest to say and the
(Closed for Lunch 12pm-1pm) people to sing at the Eucharistic Prayer. In the early days of the church, there were no set
formulas for this prayer. The ancients would have raised eyebrows at our bookishness
NOW ACCEPTING CREDIT CARDS since they preferred to let the prayers roll forth from a gifted leader of prayer. There was a
basic shape to the prayer of thanksgiving, and almost general agreement that the words of
Christ at the Last Supper ought to be included.
By the second century, Justin Martyr wrote that the presider gives thanks at some
length . . . and when he has finished the prayers and the thanksgiving, all the people present
give their assent by saying Amen. In the world before books, people could memorize long
passages of prose and poetry, and so it is easy to see how particular phrases or expressions
passed from church to church.
