Last week we learned the first verse of the Prayer After Communion. This week we are moving on to the second verse. Here is a poster for you to print and put on your fridge.
In school we had been learning about the Mass. We learned about the Introductory Rite and the Liturgy of the Word. The next part of the Mass we learned about was the “Preparation of the Gifts”. We watched a video from Grow in Love showing this part of the Mass.
During Mass, we remember the Last Supper. The bread and wine are consecrated (blessed) at Mass. As Catholics we believe the bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ. This is called transubstantiation (a very big word). To consecrate the bread and wine, the priest speaks the Words of Institution or the Institution Narrative. Here is a video from Grow in Love showing this part of the Mass:

Here are pages from your Grow in Love workbook to do:
Even though we cannot attend Mass at the moment, St. Michael’s Church stream Mass live on the church website (www.stmichaelsgorey.ie) at 10am daily. They also broadcast it on the radio on 106FM.
For the month of May, they will also be streaming the rosary daily at 7pm. If you tune in on Mondays, you never know who you might see.
