Liturgy Test 3 — The Theology of the Mass

Why do the Collects talk about “hard things” like hell and miracles? That seems not very nice.

What is the reason that the Epistles and Gospels are not meant to be a “deep dive” into Scripture?

Why do we have a separate Offertory prayer from the Canon? (What is its purpose?)

Give the 4 reasons for the silent Canon.

How is it we are asking God the Father for the Sacrifice of His Son to be acceptable, when Jesus obviously is acceptable to Him?

We venerate the Saints because they were good guys and to glorify God’s works in them.

The bread and wine are made sacrificial matter (victims) during the Offertory.

The priest blesses the faithful with the Consecrated Host during Mass.

The “W’s” of the Canon — What is offered: the bread and wine.

The “W’s” of the Canon — To Whom it is offered: the Father.

The “W’s” of the Canon — Through Whom it is offered: the Universal Church.

The “W’s” of the Canon — For Whom it is offered: for all.

The “W’s” of the Canon — Who makes use of the priest: Jesus Himself.

Who said, “The liturgy is the principal organ of the Church’s ordinary Magisterium”?
