“The celebration of Mass is the action of Christ and the People of God – ministers and assembly. Within the one Body of Christ are many gifts and responsibilities. But just as each organ and limb is necessary for the sound functioning of the body, so every member of the liturgical assembly gathered by Christ has a part to play in the action of the whole… The participation of all is demanded by the nature of the liturgy and, for the faithful, is their right and duty by reason of their Baptism.” --Pastoral Introduction to the Order of Mass, USCCB, #4.
Every time we gather at Mass, we are part of the primary ministry of all: the Assembly—the visible expression of the Body of Christ in the world. As an active member of the assembly, we take our place and lend our heart and voice in singing, responding, listening, silence, our postures and our gestures.
To prepare to become part of the assembly each weekend, take a moment to read and reflect on the Daily Readings link.
