The beliefs that seemed to have the greatest impact on worship and its formation besides Jesus & the Apostles.
The Mass follows the outline of a family reunion and the Last Supper:
+ Gather
+ Share stories (Liturgy of the Word)
+ Eat (Liturgy of the Eucharist)
+ Depart
The Mass:
• Is the principal sacramental celebration of the Catholic Church
• Was established by Jesus at the Last Supper
• Renews the mystery of our salvation through participation in the sacrificial death and glorious resurrection of Christ
In the Mass, we:
• Gather as one family
• Admit our sins, ask God for forgiveness, and the saints and each other for prayer and support
• Glorify God
• Listen to, ponder and reflect on His Word from the Scriptures
• Pray for the Church, the world, those in need, and ourselves
• Celebrate the Eucharist (Holy Communion) in obedience with Christ's command to "do this in memory of me."
• Are sent out into the world to love and serve the Lord and one another
It is called "Mass" (from the Latin missa) because of the "mission" or "sending" with which the liturgical celebration concludes.

The history of the Maronite Catholic Church is very interesting..
Thank you!
I told you before they both have the same wireless internet that I use to talk to you all. HAHA and it works great!
The practice is common on All Saints and All Souls days. It is also found in many non-Christian settings across the globe. The specific question here is how the practice is explained as a part of Catholic theology and liturgy. Suggestions for further readings large or small would be helpful. Is there anything in the standard works of the Catholic Church that deal with the practice? Also would like to know how the practice made its way into Catholic practices.
As Christians we believe that death is not the end, it is rather the beginning of our eternal life in heaven. We do not fear death, evil, or Satan. In Christ, we can laugh in the face of death.
These Eastern European practices along with the Latin American tradition of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) which are celebrated on the All Saints Day (November 1) and All Souls Day (November 2) relate closely to Catholic theology.
Catholics believe in the Communion of Saints. This doctrine states that all saints are intimately related in the Body of Christ, a family. When you die and go to heaven, you do not leave this family.
Everyone in heaven or on their way to heaven are saints, you, me, my deceased grandmother, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.
As part of this family, you may ask your family and friends living here on earth to pray for you. Or, you may also ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Andrew, or your deceased grandmother living in heaven to pray for you.
Or you can go to their grave site and have a picnic with them.
Our friends and relatives in heaven can be closer to us than our friends and relatives across the country.
With love in Christ.
When IJR was growing up Byzantine Catholic, the Sunday School teacher wanted us to get a good understanding the CATHOLIC or UNIVERSAL nature of the church, so she arranged for the class to attend a mass at a local Roman Catholic Church. While still a Catholic, IJR attended many other Masses as well. IJR was just wondering if any R.C had gone to an Eastern Catholic service. How did you like it?
I've been to a wedding at a Greek Orthodox church, does that count? The church was beautiful and the ceremony was very nice.

Gregorian Rite bCatholic/b: Why the bCatholic Church/b and Her bLiturgy/b b.../b
Romano Guardini (+1968) has the profound understanding of the Catholic Church and Her liturgy that is needed in order to understand why it is so different from the various Protestant services. In his splendid The Spirit of the Liturgy , Guardini points out the relationship of the liturgy to the rest of Catholic thought as well as to post-Kantian society. Obviously, he wrote before the severe decline of the liturgy during the 60s and following, but his remarks are still timely. 'What is the position of the liturgy generally to the moral order? What is the quality of the relation in it of the will to knowledge, as of the value of truth to the value of goodness? Or, to put it in two words, what is the relation in it of the Logos to the Ethos ? It will be necessary to go back somewhat...
Reparation for Sacrilege: Our Solemn, Holy Duty | bCatholic/b Exchange
He added, “Aside from the impropriety of such a grandiose celebration for one of the country’s most notorious dissident Catholics, the ‘celebration’ was filled with liturgical errors and transgressions against the General Instruction of the Roman Missal which governs every celebration of the Church’s liturgy.” Bishop Gracida concluded,
“It is not unreasonable to suggest that the ‘buck’ for the scandal of the secular extravaganza which obscured the sacred liturgical nature of the Kennedy funeral should stop at the desk of the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston. Again, since I do not want to directly criticize another bishop, I leave it to the laity to analyze the true nature of that celebration.” This article is the attempt of one layman, a former lawyer and judge, to “analyze the true nature of that celebration.” The issues surrounding Ted Kennedy’s funeral are not limited to whether Cardinal Sean O’Malley, the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston, should have allowed or presided at his public funeral or whether he should have allowed the grand celebration of Kennedy’s supposed legislative accomplishments (without mention of his support for abortion, embryonic killing or same-sex marriage) or the liturgical transgressions or even the quasi-canonization by Fr. Mark Hession in his homily. The central issue is whether sacrilegious Communions were committed by Catholic politicians who publicly support the horrendous sin of abortion. This was interpreted by Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Ratzinger, to mean that when a Catholic politician has consistently campaigned and voted for permissive abortion laws, his Pastor should meet with him, instructing him about the Church’s teaching, informing him that he is not to present himself for Holy Communion until he brings to an end the objective situation of sin, and warning him that he will otherwise be denied the Holy Eucharist. If the pro-abortion Catholic politicians at Mr. Kennedy’s funeral received the Holy Eucharist, perhaps they were never warned by their Pastor or Bishop or by Cardinal O’Malley or any of the celebrating priests that their conduct violated Canon 915. Or, if they were warned and their minster of Communion knew it, than the minister failed under his duty to refuse to distribute the Holy Eucharist to them. Curiously, the printed program for the funeral liturgy did not contain the usual U.S. Bishop’s statement on the guidelines for receiving the Holy Eucharist. These guidelines are that only Catholics may receive and Catholics who do receive must be property disposed. Moreover, neither presiding Cardinal O’Malley nor any priest gave any oral statement about the guidelines before the distribution of the Holy Eucharist. Giving these Catholic pro-abortion politicians the extraordinary benefit of the doubt, perhaps they were in total ignorance because no Pastor, priest or Bishop ever warned them as they should have. Nevertheless, even though they may have never received any warning, still their reception of the Holy Eucharist was objectively unworthy and an objective sacrilege against the Holy Eucharist. This is why the Church in America is spiritually sick and infirm. Eucharistic sacrilege means to treat the Holy Eucharist unworthily and is a grave sin because in this sacrament the true Body of Christ is made substantially present for us. ( No. 1385). Pope John Paul II in his
