 Mass (liturgy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mass is the term used of the celebration of the Eucharist in the various liturgical rites of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglo-Catholic tradition of Anglicanism, and in certain Lutheran parishes and provinces, such as the Church of Sweden which are largely High Church.
The liturgy concludes with a dialogue between the priest and congregation.
The Council of Trent taught that the Mass is the unbloody renewal, or rather re-presentation, of the Sacrifice of Calvary upon the altar and the most perfect method the Church has to offer latria, or adoration, to God.

 Liturgy of the Mass
But, in churches that have no official conventual Mass and in the case of the priest who says Mass for his own devotion, one only of the coinciding Masses is said, the others being (usually) commemorated by saying their collects, secrets, and post-Communions after those of the Mass chosen.
It is by his share in the Mass in Communion that the Catholic proclaims his union with the great Church.
It is these parts of the Mass that vary, and, because of them, we speak of the Mass of such a day or of such a feast.

 ORB: The Medieval Mass and Its Music
The modern restructuring of the Mass in the Catholic Church embraced principles of liturgical reform not unrelated to rationalist proposals voiced in the eighteenth century.
Full understanding of the medieval Mass requires awareness of the historical evolution of its components, the framework of the liturgical year, the texts and music which expressed the meaning of its feasts, the ceremonial movements and gestures essential to its performance, and the often splendid vestments worn by the principal participants in the Mass liturgy.
The liturgy of the Latin Church favored prayers, readings, and chants whose texts made specific reference to (i.e., were proper to) the liturgical observance, whether a feast commemorating one of the events in Jesus' life or in celebration of a saint's feast day.

 Theology of the Liturgy
Moreover, according to him, there are theologians, at least in the circles of the Roman Church and of her liturgy, who have not yet grasped the full import of the transformations put forward by the liturgical reform in the area of the doctrine of the faith.
It is revelation received in faith and prayer, and its measure is consequently the faith of the Church, in which revelation is received.
Where, on the basis of such ideas, the liturgy is manipulated ever more freely, the faithful feel that, in reality, nothing is celebrated, and it is understandable that they desert the liturgy, and with it the Church.

 Music at Mass
In the liturgy the sacred must come together with the beautiful in a harmonious and devout synthesis that allows the assemblies with their different capabilities fully to express their faith for the glory of God and the building up of the Mystical Body.
Sacred music, being a complementary part of the solemn liturgy, participates in the general scope of the liturgy, which is the glory of God and the sanctification and edification of the faithful.
The Mass is not an occasion for entertainment, but for the highest act of worship possible to man. The Sacred Liturgy is, according to Vatican II, "the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; it is also the fount from which all her power flows."

 Eucharist as Sacrifice - Sacrament: Mass and Liturgy
Since the highest form of honor to God is sacrifice, the Mass is a continuation of Christ's sacrifice of praise and gratitude to God the Father.
The key to seeing the relation between Calvary and the Mass is the fact that the same identical Jesus Christ now glorified is present on the altar at Mass as He was present in His mortal humanity on the Cross.
Worship of God, that is, participation in the Holy Mass, is, in fact, the greatest service we give in the Church.

 Catholic Answers: Liturgy
Regarding the cleansing of the chalice and other ves-sels used at Mass, the new GIRM provides that “the sacred vessels are purified by the priest, the deacon, or an instituted acolyte after Communion or after Mass, insofar as possible at the credence table” (279).
Regarding sitting or kneeling during the silence after Communion, some interpreted this as meaning that the faithful should stand until the last communicant had received Communion, which was contrary to the traditional practice of the faithful assuming their preferred postures immediately upon returning to the pews.
A controversy ensued, in which Francis Cardinal George, chairman of the Bishops’ Committee on Liturgy, queried the CDWDS: “In many places, the faithful are accustomed to kneeling or sitting in personal prayer upon returning to their places after having individually received Holy Communion during Mass.

On Sundays before the principal Mass the church and congregation are sprinkled with holy water.
It seems that among these the liturgy of the Church in Rome was both particularly ancient and, owing the to position of the papacy, increasingly prestigious.
The distinction between High and Low mass was removed, as were many repetitions, ritual gestures, and the requirement that the priest say as "his" prayers also said by the people and choir.

Roman Catholicism is rich in its presentation of its faith-practices, as well as its usage of the senses and materials of the world to worship and serve God.
