CS 1872: The Parts of the Mass with Deanna Bartalini from CatholicMom.com: Monday

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.   Deanna Bartalini prepares the Sunday Gospel Activities on CatholicMom.com.
