Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
The theology of the Eucharist is central to any understanding of liturgy, and quite topical in the Year of the Eucharist proclaimed by Pope John Paul II.
The Catholic bishops of Pennsylvania have produced an excellent booklet called Questions and Answers on the Eucharist and have granted permission for us to reproduce excerpts here.
Please contact the Communications Director for the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference for copies of the full booklet, or to obtain permission to reproduce excerpts.
The mailing address and website are found at the end of this page.
What is meant by the Liturgy of the Word in the celebration of the Eucharist?
The liturgy is divided into two parts; the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
On Sundays and solemn feast days there are three readings.
The usual pattern is one reading from the Old Testament; one from the Acts, the Letters, or the Book of Revelation: and the third is always from one of the four gospels.
On the weekday celebration there are normally two readings.
The first is from either the Old Testament or the New Testament (other than the gospels); the second is from one of the gospels.
Saint Justin writes, "The memoirs of the apostles and the writings of the prophets are read, as much as time permits" (1345).
In the instruction for the celebration of the Eucharist today, we read, "When the Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself is speaking to his people, and Christ, present in his own word, is proclaiming the Gospel" (General Instruction, Chapter Two, 9).
A significant integral part of the celebration of the Liturgy of the Word is the homily by the priest on the readings or some other element of the faith and life of the Church.
Since so much in our culture changes rapidly, it is essential that the teaching of Christ be applied to
circumstances of our day in a way that allows the believer to see the full implications of his or her profession of faith.
The General Instruction tells us "the homily, as an integral part of the liturgy, increases the word's effectiveness" (Chapter Two, 9).
At this point in the liturgy, the creed is recited as a summary profession of our faith acknowledging what we
have read as the word of God and announcing our adherence to the teaching of Christ and the profession of
his Church so that we can proceed to celebrate worthily the Eucharist.
The priest then invites the faithful to offer their prayers for the needs of the Church, the community
and their personal concerns.
This is called the prayer of the faithful.
