Learning About Mass With Kath & Qumen
Communion The priest breaks the Bread of Life before it is shared with everybody. This reminds us of what Jesus did at the Last Supper, ‘He broke the bread and gave it to his friends’. While the bread is being broken, we pray the Lamb of God together.
The priest prepares to receive the Body and Blood of Christ by saying a prayer quietly. He then takes the Bread of Life, holds it over the chalice and shows it to the assembly. We respond to this invitation: Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. The priest and Minister of the Eucharist receive the Bread of Life. They also receive from the chalice. We go to the Table of the Lord in procession to receive the Bread of Life. We may also be invited to receive from the chalice.
