Worship. This is the humble acknowledgment by human beings that they are creatures of the thrice-holy Creator. By obeying the First Commandment, people acknowledge and respond to the revelation of the glory and power of God.

Communion

From the Latin for “mutual participation” or “oneness together”: in the sense of Holy Communion, the reception of the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist; in the sense of fellowship, the bond of union with Jesus and all baptized, faithful Christians in the Church.

Consecration

Dedication to a sacred purpose; to sanctify. This can refer to a church building, person, or object set aside for worship. It can refer speciically to entry into a permanent state of life entered freely in response to the call of Christ and characterized by the profession of vows. In the Mass, Consecration refers to the moment when the bread and wine are transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ.

Epiclesis

The calling down of the Holy Spirit. During Mass, as the priest extends his hands over the gifts of bread and wine, he calls down the Holy Spirit to change them into the Body of Blood of Jesus.

Eucharist

From the Greek for “thanksgiving”; also called the Mass or Lord’s Supper. It is the principal sacramental celebration of the Church, established by Jesus at the Last Supper, in which the mystery of salvation through participation in the sacriicial Death and glorious Resurrection of Christ is renewed and accomplished. This term applies to the species consecrated during the Mass.

Koinonia & Communio

Communio is the Latin translation of the Greek koinonia, meaning communion, fellowship, or association. This term was used by St. Luke to describe both the fellowship of believers and the relationship between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. St. Paul used koinonia to denote the intimate union of the believer with Christ and the community that exists among all the faithful themselves.

State of Grace

The condition whereby one enjoys the friendship of God. One who possesses “sanctifying grace” or “habitual grace” is enabled to know, love and serve God and others in references to him. The state of grace is lost by committing mortal sin but may be regained through the Sacrament of Penance or by an act of perfect contrition

Tabernacle

An ornamented receptacle in the church in which the consecrated Eucharist is reserved for Communion for the sick and dying as well as for adoration. In Israelite history, the tabernacle was the curtained tent containing the Ark of the Covenant and other sacred items. This portable sanctuary was taken throughout their wandering in the wilderness until the building of the Temple in Jerusalem.

transubstantiation

The scholastic term used to designate the unique change, in a true, real, and substantial manner, of the entire substance of the Eucharistic bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, with his soul and divinity, leaving intact the accidents.
