Celebrating the Mass
We will know why Sunday is special for Christians and will know that we come to Mass to hear the teaching of Jesus and pray to him. We will learn that in the Mass we offer thanks to God the Father for the gift of his Son and learn that during Mass the bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus. We will learn that when we receive Holy Communion we receive Jesus and learn that Jesus is present in the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle. We will also learn some of the responses in the Mass and understand that Jesus died on the cross, and rose from the dead.
