Gospel
Jesus says that hard times lie ahead but he proves that our sufferings are worth doing so with a Christian attitude of faith; because Jesus suffered his passion to justify us and prove that we are worth loving and can play a part in redeeming the world when we endure our own suffering and challenges as Christ did.

Especially to the all the work done by the Liturgy Committee, the Choir, Readers, Eleanor and Nan those in the Caha Centre, those who baked and prepared the food, tea, coffee and served it to us and all those who contributed to the Mass in any way.

LEARNING ABOUT
THE MASS WITH
KATH AND QUMEN
WHO DOES WHAT AT MASS (1)?
At every Mass you will notice that some members of the assembly have different jobs. We
call these jobs ‘ministries’. Let’s look at some of them:
THE PRIEST: At Mass the priest leads us and encourages us to play our part in the celebration. How
does he do this? He:
• Leads us in prayer
• Invites us to listen to God’s word
• Helps us to understand and make sense of the Word of God in our daily lives through his homily
• Takes our gifts, the bread and wine, offers them to God and prays that by the power of the Holy
Spirit they will become the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
THE SERVERS: Servers are normally boys and girls who have received their First Communion. Their
job is to help the priest during Mass. They can carry books, bring water and wine, wash the priest’s
hands and ring bells.
MINISTER OF THE WORD: Even though we sometimes call this person the reader, the proper name
is ‘Minister of the Word’. The readings of Mass come from the Bible. They are the Word of God and
so we can say that we hear God speaking to us through the voice of the Minister of the Word.
