We can and should pray We can and should pray anywhereanywhere

but this is not Liturgy

Liturgy is when the disciples of Jesus

gather as the Church in worship

Which is the Church?Which is the Church?

Second Vatican Council, Document on the Liturgy

“Christ is always present in his Church,

especially in her liturgical celebrations”

“Christ is present …in the person of his minister”

“But especially in the eucharistic species”

“Christ is present in his word”

“Lastly, he is present when the

Church prays and sings”

So, we gather as Church to encounter Christ

And it is Christ who sends us out

Ite, missa est. The mass is ended, go in peace.

The Dismissal

Go forth, the mass is ended.

Literal: Go, it is let out
