My Sacrifice and Yours
Our Participation in the Mass
Our Participation in the Eucharist
Author: Paul Turner
The Mass is the
prayer of the Church. It’s not just the prayer of the priest - it
is our prayer - the prayer of the baptised people of God. As a baptised people,
we share in the priestly ministry of Christ! As priestly ministers of Christ,
we all share in his sacrifice and unite our sufferings and burdens with his
every time we gather to offer prayer, praise and thanksgiving to him at Mass.
In this short
booklet, Paul Turner unpacks the meaning of the sacrifice of the Mass. In
pastoral language, he explores more deeply how our participation in the Mass
unites us to Christ. Through this guided reflection, we will become aware of
the sacrifice Christ made for us, how we participate in this sacrifice each
time we gather and participate in the Eucharistic mystery, and how we give back
as his disciples.
This booklet may be used at any time during the liturgical year, but is
extremely appropriate during the season of Lent. It may be used by parish
worship teams to explore the nature of the Eucharist as sacrifice as a resource
for adult formation sessions.
Each section in this booklet is concluded with questions for discussion and
reflection questions which may be used in small or large group settings or for
personal reflection.
This resource is perfect for:
- Clergy
- Lay ministers
- Members of your congregation
