4.12: Prayers in The Mass and Adoration

• Words of Institution


  • Words that the priest says, re-enacts the Last Supper
  • When the words are said, the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ
• Agnus Dei

  Jesus is the new lamb of God as he sacrificed himself to defeat the ultimate power of sin and death
• Eucharist Adoration

  • Represents honouring the real presence of Christ in the consecrated bread and wine
  • Communion is sometimes received on a Catholic's tongue to present receiving Jesus himself
  • This is shown in Benediction where the real presence of Christ is praised
