Scripture in the order of the Catholic mass
The Burning Bush ^ | 33 AD | Jesus

Scripture in the order of the mass

 

Nearly everything we say at mass has its roots in Sacred Scripture. This guide will help you if anyone you know is in doubt about that. Catholics quote scripture all the time, and their actions are deeply scriptural. After all, scripture flowed out of the early Church. The Church came first, the New Testament and the canon of scripture second.

 

Greeting

Priest: In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19)
People: Amen (1 Chr 16:36)
Priest: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Cor 13:13)
People: And also with you.

 

Liturgy of the Word

 

Penitential Rite

All: I confess to almighty God, and to you my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault. (Jas. 5:16) In my thoughts and in my words, (Rom. 12:16) In what I have done and what I have failed to do; (Jas 3:6) and I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, all the angel and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. (1 Thess 5:25)
Priest: May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. (1 John 1:9)
People: Amen (1 Chr 16:36)
All: Lord have mercy. (Tb 8:4) Christ have mercy. (1 Tim 1:2) Lord have mercy.

 

Gloria

All: Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. (Luke 2:14)
Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, (Rev 19:6)
we worship you, (Rev. 22:9) we give you thanks, (Eph. 5:20)
we praise you for your glory. (Rev 7:12)
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, (2 John 3)
Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world:
have mercy on us; (John 1:29)
You are seated at the right hand of the Father, receive our prayer. (Rom 8:34)
For you alone are the Holy One, (Luke 4:34)
You alone are Lord, You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ. (Luke 1:32)
with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. (John 14:26)

 

[The Liturgy of the Word consists of four readings from Scripture: the first is typically from the Old Testament, the second a psalm, followed by a reading from one of the epistles. Finally, the Gospel is proclaimed during which the people stand out of respect for the Word. The chosen readings change daily.]

A Sermon on the readings follows.

 

(2 Tim 4:1-2)

Profession of Faith

All: We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, (Gen 14:19) of all that is seen and unseen. (Col 1:16) We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, (Luke 1:35) eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God, begotten not made, one in being with the Father. (Heb 1:3) Through him all things were made. (John 1:2-3) For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: (John 3:13) by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, (Matt 1:18) and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, (John 19:16) he suffered, died and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures. (1 Cor 15:3-4) He ascended into heaven (Luke 24:51) and is seated at the right hand of the Father. (Col 3:1) He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead (2 Tim 4:1) and his kingdom will have no end. (Luke 1:33) We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life, (Acts 2:17) who proceeds from the Father and the Son. (John 14:16) With the Father and Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. (1 Peter 1:10-11) We believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic Church. (Rom 12:5) We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. (Acts 2:38) We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. (Rom 6:5) Amen

 

Liturgy of the Eucharist

[The gifts are brought to the altar. These include the bread and wine and the offering collected from the people.] (Malachi 3:10)

Priest: Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have this bread to offer, which earth has given and human hands have made. (Eccl. 3:13) It will become for us the bread of life. (John 6:35)
People: Blessed be God forever. (Ps 68:36)
Priest: Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have this wine to offer, fruit of the vine and work of human hands. It will become our spiritual drink. (Luke 22:17-18)
People: Blessed be God forever. (Ps 68:36)
Priest: Pray, brethren, that our sacrifice may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father. (Heb. 12:28)
People: May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our sake and the good of all his Church. (Ps 50:23)

 

Eucharistic Prayers

Priest: Lift up your hearts.
People: We lift them up to the Lord. (Lam 3:41)
Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord Our God. (Col 3:17)
People: It is right to give him thanks and praise. (Col 1:3)

Preface Acclamation

All: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. (Is 6:3) Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. (Mark 11:9-10)

 

Eucharistic prayer

[There are four of these, based on ancient prayers of the Church. Eucharistic Prayer Two follows as an example:]

Priest: Lord, you are holy indeed, the fountain of all holiness. (2 Macc. 14:36) Let your spirit come upon these gifts (water and wine) to make them holy, so that they may become the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Before he was given up to death, (Phil 2:8) a death he freely accepted, (John 10:17-18) he took bread and gave you thanks. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: Take this all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you. When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this is memory of me. (Mark 14:22-25) Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.

All: Dying you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life, Lord Jesus, come in glory. (Heb 2:14-15)

Priest: In memory of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Father, this life-giving bread, this saving cup. (John 6:51) We thank you for counting us worthy to stand in your presence and serve you. May all of us who share in the body and blood of Christ be brought together in unity by the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor.10:17) Lord, remember your Church throughout the world; make us grow in love together with our Pope and our bishop, and all the clergy. Remember our brothers and sisters who have gone to their rest in the hope of rising again: bring them and all the departed into the light of your presence. (2 Macc 12:45-46) Have mercy on us all; make us worthy to share eternal life with Mary, the virgin Mother of God, with the apostles and with all the saints who have done your will throughout the ages. May we praise you in union with them, and give you glory though your Son, Jesus Christ. (2 Thes 1:4-5) Through him, with him, in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever.

 

All: Amen. (Rom 11:36)

Communion Rite

The Lord's Prayer:

All: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (Matt 6:9-13)
Priest: Deliver us, Lord, from every evil and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our savior, Jesus Christ. (John 17:15)
All: For the kingdom the power and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen

Priest: Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles; I leave you peace, my peace I give to you. (John 14:27) Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church, and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom where you live forever and ever.
Priest: The peace of the Lord be with you always! (John 20:19)
People: And also with you!

[The priest then directs the people to exchange a sign, such as a handshake or a kiss, or a word of God's peace to one another.]

 

Breaking of the Bread

All: Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace. (John 1:29)

Communion

Priest: This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper. (Rev. 19:9)
People: Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed. (Matt 8:8)
[Communion is distributed to the faithful at the altar by the priest and lay ministers.] Dismissal Priest: Blessed be the name of the Lord. Now and forever. (Dan 2:20) May almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Luke 24:51) Go in peace (Luke 7:50) to love and serve the Lord. (2 Chr 35:3)

[During the blessing the people make the Sign of the Cross, the traditional sign of the baptized and a public sign of their belief in the power of God.]

People: Thanks be to God. (2 Cor 9:15)

Do you have a problem with reading comprehension, or is it simply a desperate recourse to strawmen that is the problem?

I find Wikipedia NOT to be a good source of religious history or theology. Like just about everything else these days, Wikipedia has a definite slant to it and one doesn't know who is editing the content.

As far as the Huguenot goes here is another perspective Huguenot History. The Amboise Conspiracy was a poor attempt by the Protestants to fight against Catholic persecution. Amboise Conspiracy Although Queen Elizabeth joined their cause, Calvin and other Reformers did not.

The bottom line in all of this is the murderous history sanctioned by the Catholic Church that you seem hesitant to admit. I suspect this flies in the face with how the Church tries to portray itself. As a Protestant, I have no problem in admiting the misbehavior of past Protestants because we are all sinners by nature and will run to sin at the first chance we get if not for the withholding power of God.

Amboise Conspiracy. Did you even know about it?

Did you post a verse that shows sola scriptura or not? It’s a simple question.

Such sophistry is indicative of insolence or guile, if not ignorance, in lieu of an actual argument. For I explained that SS itself does not mean a Truth is established upon one explicit verse (which includes the Trinity), and SS is established upon the clear testimony of a multitude verses showing the only substantive body of Divine revelation that is affirmed as wholly inspired word of God is Scripture, (2 Tim. 3:16)

And which provided the doctrinal and prophetic epistemological foundation for the gospel and thus the church. (Romans 1:1,2; 16:26) Therefore it was Scripture that the Lord Himself invoked, from defeating the devil (Mt. 4) to correcting Jewish leaders (Mt. 22) to substantiating His messiahship and ministry ("in all the Scriptures") and which He opened the minds of the disciples to them, who did the same. (Luke 24:27.44,45; Acts 17:2; 1828, etc.). And to which even the veracity of the oral preaching of apostles was subject to testing by. (Acts 17:11)

For as is abundantly evidenced by a multitude of Scripture texts, as written, Scripture became the transcendent supreme standard for obedience and testing and establishing truth claims as the wholly Divinely inspired and established Word of God.

And while as said, men such as the apostles could speak as wholly inspired of God and provide new public revelation thereby, to which Catholics vainly appeal to in attempting to support their oral tradition, yet popes and ecumenical councils do not speak or write as wholly inspired of God in declaring what the word of God is.

Therefore it is not just one verse but many that establishes Scripture as alone being supreme,

Which as said, means that you can only object to the sufficiency aspect of SS as not providing all "things which are necessary to be known, believed, and observed for salvation." However, God has always provided that, from the garden of Eden onward, yet He gives more grace. And here you could argue that Scripture does not provide all that God wants souls to know. However, the sufficiency of Scripture is not to be restricted to what it formally or explicitly provides, but it must include that which is materially provides, from reasoning and the illumination of the Spirit by which truths may be "by good and necessary consequence may [not necessarily will be by all] be deduced from Scripture" including with "a due use of the ordinary means," to "synods and councils, ministerially to determine controversies of faith... (Westminster Confession of Faith)

Thus rather than one verse substantiating the whole of SS, it is based upon the collective weight of many, despite your vain attempt to create a strawman of SS in demanding one verse that establishes it all, while not restricting Catholic attempts to one verse when they are arguing for something being Scriptural. If we look at what Catholics resort to when trying to argue that that such things as praying to created beings in Heaven are Scriptural the we see that they do not expect all doctrines to be established upon one verse, unless they are being duplicitous.

“but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”

QED.

Using the non-strawman version of sola scriptura.

Not that I expect any FRomans to stop using strawmen; they might have to stop being Catholic if they stopped believing falsehoods about non-Catholics.

Yet, how curious that they post threads like this one so often to try to prove the Scriptural basis of the Catholic Mass as if to say they really DO believe in the authority of the word of God. They just refuse to come right out and admit it.

The party line is it's a "three-legged stool". They know that the Divinely-inspired word of God holds first place in authority then, according to them, and it's followed by Tradition and the Magisterium. If you ask which is the ultimate authority should there be a conflict, the answer is that there can not BE a conflict. ;o)

I can attest that I have not ever persecuted, tortured nor murdered anyone in my life for any reason - not just because my beliefs are different than theirs! Not my parents, grandparents nor great grandparents did so either. People sometimes do bad things for what they think are good reasons. Looking back we easily notice the Catholic church was at the persecuting/torturing/killing business for religious reasons a lot longer than the Protestants but neither were justified or pleasing to God by those acts. Yes, it happened. No, nobody was sanctioned by God to act as inquisitor/executioner in His name. Trying to play the blame game is pointless.

Well; your own, very first pope wrote:

    2 Peter 1:3  

    His divine power has given us everything we need
    for a godly life through our knowledge of him
    who called us by his own glory and goodness.

This doesn't leave much room for 
the other stuff that Rome has added.

The party line is it's a "three-legged stool". They know that the Divinely-inspired word of God holds first place in authority then, according to them, and it's followed by Tradition and the Magisterium. If you ask which is the ultimate authority should there be a conflict, the answer is that there can not BE a conflict. ;o)

Because in reality it is the Magisterium that is the supreme authority, which determines what Scripture and Tradition consist of and mean, which she says means she is the supreme authority, and Scripture in particular becomes a servant which can be abused in order to support "The Church," or denied its refutation of her.

While demanding one verse that establishes SS, a multitude of verses are denied as showing its singular supremacy, while an understanding of its material sufficiency is simply ignored as is the fact that her Magisterium does not speak as wholly inspired of God as men such as the apostles could in orally speaking the formal word of God (and yet could be subject to testing by Scripture when they did).

But then Catholics will insist that something like Mary being sinless and a perpetual virgin is Scriptural, even though there is not one verse that actually teaches this very significant exception to the norm, and the Holy Spirit characteristically notes even lesser notable exceptions to the norm among individuals, and affirms the sinlessness of Christ at least thrice.

Meanwhile they deny that the verse "And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son" (Matthew 1:25) denotes a consummation of marriage, which is how Scripture describes it, (Gn. 2:24; Mt. 19:4-6) for they claim another (very very rare) exception to the norm, that the word for "till" does not denote a terminus indicating a change.

To which are added many other distinctive Catholic teachings that are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels).

And why do they do this? Because Scripture, Tradition and History only means what Rome says they do. Thus the recourse of no less a prelate as Manning:

“It was the charge of the Reformers that the Catholic doctrines were not primitive, and their pretension was to revert to antiquity. But the appeal to antiquity is both a treason and a heresy. It is a treason because it rejects the Divine voice of the Church at this hour, and a heresy because it denies that voice to be Divine. ” "I may say in strict truth that the Church has no antiquity. It rests upon its own supernatural and perpetual consciousness. Its past is present with it, for both are one to a mind which is immutable. Primitive and modern are predicates, not of truth, but of ourselves.... The only Divine evidence to us of what was primitive is the witness and voice of the Church at this hour." — Dr. Henry Edward Cardinal Manning, Lord Archbishop of Westminster, “The Temporal Mission of the Holy Ghost: Or Reason and Revelation,” (New York: J.P. Kenedy & Sons, originally written 1865, reprinted with no date), pp. 227-228.

There are many things I don’t know about. And as I get older I find there are just as many, if not more, things I forget.

But none of that matters as long as my theology is correct and remains in tack.

It is dangerous to judge others in history and we are told not to judge-that belongs to Christ alone. How many would judge David for murdering Uriah? How about Gideon who made a ephod that snared his family? How about Jepheth who sacrificed his daughter over a vow? How about Samuel hacking up Agag the king of Amalek or Elijah with the priests of Baal?

One can go on and on, down the roll call of faith in Hebrews and everyone had flaws. Some were doing God’s work. Others thought they were. Some were not. The bottom line is that we do what we think is best as God would want us to do. It is only by God’s grace that any of us are saved and by His mercy that He revealed Himself to those of us who are being saved.

Oh, but it does! It proves that Scripture is sufficient for knowledge of salvation. Which is the actual definition of sola scriptura, as opposed to the Catholic lies that your sources keep telling about us.
