From Mass to Mission-Understanding the Mass and Its Significance for Our Christian Life

Every Sunday, Catholics gather together to attend Mass in memory of Christ, worshipping God by giving him thanks and praise. We hear his Word, receive the Body and Blood of Christ in Communion, and are charged with an important mission — to be like Christ in the world.

This resource is an insightful exploration of the Mass and its importance for our life of faith and Christian discipleship. Each chapter explores the parts of the Mass, helping you understand the meaning of the prayers, responses, acclamations, gestures, signs, and symbols. From Mass to Mission will inspire you to participate more fully in the Mass and to carry out your mission as Christ’s disciple, bringing forth his light to a world in need.
