EUROPE The Holy Mass is the 2000 year old worship service instituted by Jesus Christ
at the Last Supper, when he changed ordinary bread and wine into His sacred
BIBLE VERSE CHEAT body and blood and commanded his apostles to “do THIS in remembrance of
SHEETS me.” The word “remembrance” in Greek is anamnesis, which, in the Old
Testament is used to denote a memorial sacrifice (i.e., in the Passover, Exodus
12:14)
THE YEAR OF FAITH!
“A memorial such as Passover was very different from modern holidays such
ST. BRIDGET as the Fourth of July, on which Americans simply call to mind the founding of
REVELATIONS their country. In a biblical “memorial,” the past was not merely recalled; it
was re-lived. The past event was mystically made present to those celebrating
THE GLOVES ARE OFF ! the feast. This is why Jews in Jesus’ day believed that when they celebrated
this feast, the first Passover was made present to them as a “memorial.” In
T-SHIRTS, MUGS, AND fact, when later Jewish rabbis wrote about the Passover, they said that when a
Jew celebrates the feast, it was as if he himself were walking out of Egypt.”

CATHOLICBIBLE101 In the bible, the word “remember” means much more than just thinking about
a past event. When the good thief on the cross asked Jesus to “remember me
STORE in your kingdom,” he wasn’t expecting Jesus to go to heaven and just think
about him. Rather, he meant “remember me” to mean to be physically present

the proclamation of the mighty works wrought by God for men. In the

WOMB A modern day example of this is a movie. I wasn’t around when the Wizard of
Oz movie was created in 1939, but thanks to it being on film, it has been re-
ABORTION presented to me over and over again, on TV and on DVD. I must say, the
acting was just as good the last time I saw it as it was the first time I saw it.
ANNULMENTS Like the Eucharist, the sun is re-presented to us on a daily basis, in the
morning. It isn’t a new sun we see every morning, but the same old sun which
APOLOGETICS has been around since the creation. The Eucharist is like that.
.
ARCHBISHOP SHEEN In the case of the Mass, the exact same unbloody sacrifice that occurred at the
Last Supper, where Jesus’ blood was separated from His body in the Eucharist
QUOTES before the apostles consumed them, is made physically present to us through
space and time, which is anamnesis. Many people don’t believe Jesus in John
ARE YOU A GOOD OLD 6:48-58 when he said 4 times that he is the bread of life from heaven and if
we eat this bread we shall live forever, but those people walk by sight, not by
BOY? faith.
.
ARE YOU SAVED? John 6:[48] I am the bread of life. [49] Your fathers ate the manna in the
wilderness, and they died. [50] This is the bread which comes down from
ARTIFICIAL BIRTH heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. [51] I am the living bread which
CONTROL came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever;
and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh." [52]The
Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his
ATTAINING PERFECTION
flesh to eat?" [53] So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you
eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;
THE BASICS [54] he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will
raise him up at the last day. [55] For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is
BECOMING A CATHOLIC drink indeed. [56] He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me,
and I in him. [57] As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the
THE BIBLE-73 OR 66 Father, so he who eats me will live because of me. [58] This is the bread
BOOKS which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who
eats this bread will live forever."
"BIBLE CHURCH" .
In John 6, the context of this takes place during the Passover, and the manna
CHECKLIST from heaven is brought up, as is the multiplication of the loaves, so the entire
chapter deals with both unleavened and miraculous bread.
THE BIBLE ALONE? .
Later on, in John 6:66 (ahem), his own disciples leave him over this command
BIBLE JEOPARDY to eat His flesh and drink His blood. He does not explain to them that this is
only a parable, and to come on back, because he was talking symbolically.
BIBLE SYNOPSES Rather, He lets them go. We know from Mark 4:34 that Jesus ALWAYS
explained His parables to His disciples. But here He didn’t. Therefore, this is
BIBLE TIMELINE no parable, but is a literal command to eat His flesh and to drink His blood. A
year later, Jesus does this at the last Supper.
.
BIBLICAL HEALING
The word “Mass” comes to us from the Latin word “missa”. At the end of the
Latin Mass, the priest says, “Ita missa est,” or “Go, you are sent.” The word
BIBLICAL TYPOLOGY “Christmas” is an abbreviation for “Christ’s Mass.”

3/21/2019 The Mass. What is it?

In the Old Testament, 2 Chronicles 7:1, God sent fire down from heaven to
BLESSED SACRAMENT consume King Solomon’s sacrifice in the newly built temple, which was
VISIT God’s dwelling place on earth:
.
THE BLESSED VIRGIN “When Solomon had ended his prayer, fire came down from heaven and
consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD
MARY filled the temple.”
.
BORN AGAIN? But in the New Testament Church, God sends down the fire of the Holy Spirit
to transform unleavened bread and wine into His body and blood so that we
CAFETERIA CATHOLICS can consume Him. God dwells in the Tabernacle of each Catholic Church.
The Mass is comprised of two basic liturgies, or ceremonies. The first part is
CATHOLIC ART AND the Liturgy of the Word, where prayers of Adoration, Contrition,
Thanksgiving, and Supplication are mixed in with 3 (on Sunday) scripture
POETRY readings. The Scripture readings are usually one from the Old Testament, one
from the epistles, and one from the Gospels. To show the harmony of sacred
CATHOLIC BIBLE scripture, the 3 readings always have a common thread, like salvation,
repentance, the Eucharist, etc.
VERSES
.
The second liturgy of the Mass, which occurs right after the Liturgy of the
CATHOLIC BIBLE Word, is the Liturgy of the Eucharist. This is where the priest, through the
VERSES 2 power of Christ, changes ordinary bread and wine into the sacred body and
blood of Christ. We can only see the priest and his assistants on the altar, but
CATHOLICBIBLEPHD in reality, Christ is present there and is the one who does the
transubstantiation. Also present is the communion of saints and angels. In
LEVEL scripture, it says in

CATHOLIC LIFE QUIZ and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that
speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel.
CATHOLIC MOVIES & .
BOOKS The biblical story of Jesus on the road to Emmaus with his disciples is another
example of the Mass after the Last Supper. The disciples and Jesus discussed
THE CATHOLIC PAUL the scriptures (liturgy of the Word), Jesus gave them a sermon on what the
scriptures meant, and then they had a meal where the bread was blessed and
the disciples recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread (liturgy of the
CATHOLIC QUIZ
Eucharist). Jesus then disappeared from their sight for a reason. From now on,
Christ would be invisibly present in the bread and wine, and His physical
CATHOLIC STATISTICS presence would no longer be necessary. From now on, we walk by faith, not
by sight, when it comes to the Eucharist. Jesus said to satan in the desert –
CATHOLIC VIDEOS “Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the
mouth of God. Here Jesus foretells the Mass, with the Liturgy of the Eucharist
CATHOLICISM AND AND the Liturgy of the Word.
SCIENCE .
The term “new covenant” is used one time by Jesus, in
CATHOLICISM MADE .
Luke 22:20: “And likewise the cup after supper, saying, "This cup which is
EASY poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.”
.
CHARISMATIC Here we see that participating in Holy Communion IS the very essence of the
new covenant – Notice he didn’t say that the new covenant was just believing
CATHOLICS in him, or reading about him. No, the new covenant is an action –
participating in Holy Communion. And notice that the word “is” is used,
CHRIST, THE NEW ADAM without any reference to symbolism or representation.

not mentioned in the Gospels. The meal broke up after the cup of blessing

not drink again of the fruit of the vine until later. In the Garden of

HUMOR "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I

THE CHURCH MILITANT .
Finally, on the cross, Jesus drank the sour wine and said in John 19:30: “It is
THE CHURCH SCANDALS consummated.” The Passover meal started in the upper room was finished on
the cross, forever tying the Eucharist to the crucifixion of Christ. (Also, Jesus
COMMUNISM REALITY the bridegroom, consummates his marriage to mankind).
.
CONTEMPLATING THE It is important to remember that in the Mass, Jesus is both priest and victim.
We learn in Hebrews 6:20 that Jesus is a high priest forever, according to the
ROSARY order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek, the King of Salem (shalom, or peace)
and the High Priest, in Genesis 14:18, offered blessed bread and wine to
THE CONVENTIONAL Abraham in honor of his victory over his enemies and the rescue of Lot. After
the golden calf incident, priests in the Old Testament were according to the
WISDOM order of Levi, and they offered sacrifices for sin, only they offered animal
sacrifices instead of bread and wine. God commanded these animal sacrifices
COURAGEOUS PRIESTS because the Israelites, while slaves in Egypt for 400 years, had begun to
imitate the Egyptians and worship cattle, sheep, and goats. These animal
COVENANTS IN THE sacrifices came to a halt with the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 AD,
BIBLE and Judaism stopped having priests offer sacrifices. Now, Judaism only has
rabbis, or teachers. But Jesus said he came to fulfill the Old Testament, in
Matthew 5:17, not to do away with it. So now HE is the new eternal high

priest and king of peace (salem, or shalom), continually offering up the one
same divine sacrifice of 2000 years ago to each new generation in the Mass,
THE DEAD in the form of bread and wine, like Melchizedek. If he wasn’t doing this, then
He wouldn’t be a high priest forever. In Revelation 5:6, John says He sees a
DELIVERANCE PRAYERS lamb standing as though slain, which perfectly describes a priest standing who
is also a victim.
DEPRESSION .
The Mass is foretold in
THE DEVIL .
Malachi 1:11-12: [11] For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name is
THE DEVIL'S great among the nations, and in every place incense is offered to my name,
and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations, says the LORD
REVELATION of hosts. [12] But you profane it when you say that the LORD's table is
polluted, and the food for it may be despised.
THE DEVIL'S TACTICS
Some references to things in the Mass are included in the Book of Revelation,
DEVOTIONS which shows St. John the heavenly liturgy going on, the marriage supper of
the lamb. The Mass on earth participates in that heavenly liturgy while it is
THE DIDACHE being said, and we in the pews join with the heavenly host in praising God
during the Mass.
