Subject: Why worship on resurrection day? |
Bible Note: Doc, Basically, the first half of the Mass (or Divine Liturgy as it is called in the Eastern Rites and Churches) was know as the Mass of the Catechumens. The prayers and Scripture readings along with the homiies were meant to be instructions in the Christian faith. The Catechumens were dismissed after the homily. The second half of the Mass was called the Mass of the Faithfull and only baptized Christians were allowed to stay and partake of the Eucharist. That is a very simiplified version. The details and uniformity of the Scripture readings for the particular seasons and feast days were worked out over cenbturies. But we still have many of the homilies of the ealry Church Fathers and can tell a lot about the feast days and the Scripture readings for those days from their homilies. Today the first half of the Mass is called the Liturgy of the Word and the Second half, the Liturgy of the Eucharist. In some parishes the Catechumens or those learing the Catholic faith, are disnmissed for further instruction and discussion of the Scripture readngs after the homily. In other parishes they are allowed to stay throutgh the Liturgy of the Eucharist and then go for further instruction, but are not allowed to receive Communion. Now that we live in a Neo-Pagan age were are reverting to the teaching styles of the Church in the original Pagan age. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Emmaus |
