Sacrificial mass
The sacrificial mass was part of the Holy Mass in the Roman rite . Since the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council , one speaks instead of “Eucharistic celebration” or “Eucharistic liturgy”.
The sacrificial mass followed the preliminary mass . In the Middle Ages, applicants for baptism (catechumens) and public penitents had to leave the service towards the end of the pre-mass, so that the term “mass for the faithful” was also used for the sacrificial mass.
The sacrificial mass had three parts:
- The offertory (the “offering”) with the bringing of the offerings of bread and wine and their laying down on the altar
- The Eucharist with preface and Canon Missae
- The communion , starting with the noster Pater , refraction of bread, salutation and receiving the communion
The closing rite followed the sacrificial mass with a blessing and a call for discharge.
