1 The Mass Is the Memorial of Jesus Passion, Death, and Resurrection UNIT 5, LESSON 3 Learning Goals The Mass is the memorial of Christ s sacrifice on the Cross and Resurrection from the dead. At every Mass, the events of our salvation are made present to us on the altar in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, and we are invited take part in this memorial of our salvation. The Mass has two parts: the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The minimum requirement for Catholics is to attend Mass on Sundays and on Holy Days of Obligation.

2 Lesson Plan Materials Special Celebrations Liturgy of the Eucharist Liturgy of the Word Liturgy of the Eucharist Liturgy of the Word Crossword Word Scramble The Last Supper DAY ONE Warm-Up A. Write the following on the board: On my mind On my lips In my heart B. Then explain to your students that during Mass, before the priest proclaims the Gospel, we trace a small cross on our foreheads, on our lips, and over our heart (demonstrate these actions for your students) and ask God to be on our minds, on our lips and in our hearts: May the Lord be on my mind, on my lips, and in my heart. C. Teach your students this prayer and lead them in praying it and tracing a small cross on their forehead, on their lips, and over their heart. D. Write memorial on the board and ask your students if they know the meaning of the word. Point out the similarities between the word memorial and the word remember. Then, explain to your students that a memorial is a way of remembering and celebrating the past. It is connected to the word remember, which means to make present again. When we remember something, we are making the memory of something present to us again, almost as if we are there again. E. Ask your students to close their eyes and think for a moment about a happy memory (for example, a specific Christmas morning, a birthday, a family gathering, or some other special moment). Then, have your students turn to a neighbor and take turns describing that memory to each other. Encourage them to describe what they can see in the memory, how they feel in the memory, what happened, and how any other senses are activated by that memory. Invite them to be as descriptive as they can. F. Then, after every student has had time to share, call on a few students to share their memory with the class. Ask your students questions such as the following to draw connections between their memory stories: What are some things that your stories have in common? Many of the memories will likely involve a meal, a gathering of family and friends, and good things happening, such as gift giving or a celebration of some kind. If your students aren t highlighting some of these details, ask them questions about the memories to draw out these details. 400 SOPHIA INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS
3 LESSON PLAN Invitation to Witness: Consider sharing a story of a special happy memory of your own (preferably from your childhood.) Use as much descriptive language as you can about your memory what you see, how you feel, what happened, and so forth. Be sure to emphasize that in recalling this memory, it is almost as if you are transported back to that time and place. Then connect this to what happens in the Mass. G. Explain the following to your students: On the night before He died, at the Last Supper, Jesus asked His Apostles to remember the events that night and that would soon occur. Rather than simply thinking about Him and what He would endure, Jesus meant to memorialize His suffering, death, and Resurrection. In other words, Jesus commanded His Apostles to make His sacrifice present to the world. Every time the Mass is celebrated, Christ s command is faithfully carried out. The Mass is the liturgical celebration and memorial of Christ s sacrifice on the Cross and Resurrection from the dead. A liturgical celebration, or liturgy, is the public work of the Church. In other words, it is the participation of the People of God in the work of God, which is our salvation from sin. The liturgy is our worship. At every Mass, the priest changes bread and wine into Christ s Body and Blood in the Eucharist. At every Mass, the events of our salvation are made present to us on the altar in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, and we are invited take part in this memorial of our salvation. Activity A. Hold up or display prominently a crucifix for your students to see. Then tell the following story of Christ s Passion and Resurrection, based on the Gospels of Luke and John 19-20: At twelve o clock, darkness covered the land. Jesus hung dying on the Cross. Jesus felt pain, which became worse as the time passed. It wasn t His pain alone. He was feeling the pain of all the sinners in the world and was suffering for them. He was feeling the pain of your sins and mine and suffering for you and for me. Then, in the last moment of His earthly life, Jesus exclaimed, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit! He looked up into the sky and cried, It is finished! Then He bowed His head, took His last breath, and died. (At these words, pause for a reflective moment.) Jesus friends gently took His body down from the Cross. They wrapped it in clean cloths and placed it in a tomb. Mary Magdalene and some other women watched as two men rolled a large stone across the entrance to the tomb, sealing it tight. Two guards were sent to watch over Jesus tomb by those who had put Jesus to death. Three days after Jesus died, Mary Magdalene and the women returned to the tomb with perfumes and ointments to anoint Jesus body. On their way they worried about how they were going to get past the guards and move the huge stone blocking the entrance to the cave. Unit 5, lesson 3 401
4 LESSON PLAN Suddenly the ground shook, knocking the two guards down, and the stone rolled away from the entrance. Then an angel appeared before the women. Do not be afraid, the angel said. Jesus is not here; He is risen. Go and tell His friends that they will see Him again soon, just as He promised. The women hurried away from the tomb in search of Jesus disciples. They found John and Peter and told them of the angel s message. Peter and John hurried to the tomb. All they found inside were the burial cloths where Jesus body should have been. Jesus had risen! After John and Peter left, Mary Magdalene stayed behind and cried. She missed Jesus and was sad. Suddenly, the cave filled with light and Mary looked up to see two beautiful angels. Why are you crying? they asked. Then Mary saw a gardener standing nearby. Sir, if you have taken my Lord, please tell me where to find Him, she said. Mary, came the reply, go and tell my friends that you ve seen me. Mary looked again at the gardener, and this time she saw who He really was Jesus! Then He disappeared. Mary hurried to Galilee to share the news with Jesus disciples. Jesus had risen! B. Ask your students the following questions to help them understand the story of Jesus Passion and Resurrection: What stood out to you about this story of Christ s death and Resurrection? Accept reasoned answers. Do you think this was a happy story or a sad story? Why? Accept reasoned answers. Help your students understand that ultimately it s a happy story, even though it involves Jesus death, because it was through these events that we have been saved from sin. Jesus willingly gave His life for us and then rose from the dead to defeat the power of sin and death in our lives. Imagine that you were one of Jesus friends standing at the foot of the Cross. How would you have felt on that day when Jesus died? Accept reasoned answers. Imagine that you were there three days later, on Easter Sunday, when Jesus rose from the dead. How would you have felt on that day when Jesus rose from the dead? Accept reasoned answers. C. Explain to your students that every Mass is a memorial of this story of Christ s Passion, Death, and Resurrection. At every Mass we make Jesus sacrifice present to us again, and we take part in the saving work of Christ. As the memories that we shared at the beginning of the lesson involved shared meals, gatherings of friends and family, and retelling the stories of these events, the Mass is a memorial that includes a gathering of God s family (the Church coming together as a community for worship), telling the stories of our Faith (readings from Scripture), and a special meal (the Eucharist). We will talk about each of these important parts of the Mass in the next few lessons. 402 SOPHIA INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS
5 LESSON PLAN Formative Assessment A. Have your students turn to Special Celebrations (page 184). Have your students look at each food pictured and decide what we celebrate when we eat that food. B. When your students have completed the activity, review and discuss the correct answers. C. Take time here to emphasize that the Eucharist is not like any other food. At every Mass, bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. DAY TWO Warm-Up A. Begin by leading your students in prayer. May the Lord be on my mind, in my lips, and in my heart. B. Review the previous lesson with your students by asking them if they recall the meaning of the word memorial (a way of remembering and celebrating the past; it is connected to the word remember, which means to make present again ); Mass (the liturgical celebration and memorial of Christ s sacrifice on the Cross and Resurrection from the dead); and liturgy (our public worship). Then ask your students what we memorialize in the Mass (Christ s suffering, death, and Resurrection which won for us salvation from sin). C. Remind your students how in the previous lesson we shared some of our happy memories we memorialized these special moments. We are nourished when we share special memories, stories from our families, and we are nourished when we eat special foods when we gather with our loved ones for family celebrations. D. Next, write on the board Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist. Then explain the following to your students: The Mass has two parts: the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The Liturgy of the Word is the first part of the Mass, in which we receive the written Word of God. In this part of the Mass, the Scriptures are proclaimed and the priest teaches us in his homily. We also join together in prayer for others and profess our Faith. The Liturgy of the Eucharist is the second part of the Mass, in which we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. In this part of the Mass, the priest prays the words of consecration and changes the bread and wine in the Body and Blood of Christ. We also come to the altar of the Lord and receive Holy Communion. Unit 5, lesson 3 403
6 LESSON PLAN The two parts of the Mass are like the special memories we talked about in our last lesson, which involved shared stories and special meals. In the Liturgy of the Word we share the stories of our Faith from Scripture, and in the Liturgy of the Eucharist we share a special meal. E. Ask your students to help you label the titles you wrote on the board: Which title means special stories? (Liturgy of the Word.) Which title means a special meal? (Liturgy of the Eucharist.) Activity Have your students turn to Liturgy of the Word (page 185) and follow along as you read aloud about the Liturgy of the Word. Formative Assessment A. After reading, have your students turn to Liturgy of the Word Crossword (page 187) and complete the crossword puzzle. B. When they have finished, review and discuss the correct answers. DAY THREE Warm-Up A. Begin by leading your students in prayer. May the Lord be on my mind, in my lips, and in my heart. B. Remind your students that in the previous lesson they learned about the first part of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Word. In today s lesson they are going to learn more about the second part of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Eucharist. 404 SOPHIA INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS
7 LESSON PLAN C. Have your students turn to The Last Supper (page 189). Project an image of the painting and give them a few moments to observe the painting. Then ask the following questions: What do you first notice about this painting? Accept reasoned answers. How does this painting make you feel? Accept reasoned answers. What do you think is happening in this painting? Jesus is offering His Body and Blood in the Eucharist to His Apostles at the Last Supper. D. Read aloud to your students Luke 22:14-20: When the hour came, he took his place at table with the apostles. He said to them, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, for, I tell you, I shall not eat it [again] until there is fulfillment in the kingdom of God. Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, Take this and share it among yourselves; for I tell you [that] from this time on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me. And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you. E. Then ask your students how this painting illustrates the story of the Last Supper from Scripture Accept reasoned answers. F. Explain to your students the following: The event that is illustrated in this painting and that we read about in the Gospel story is called the Last Supper. At the Last Supper, Jesus changed bread and wine into His Body and Blood and gave it to His Apostles to eat and drink. He asked that they continue to do this in memory of Him. The Apostles faithfully carried out Jesus request, as have the bishops and priests who came after them, even until today. During the second part of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the priest offers the gifts of bread and wine as a holy sacrifice. Then, by the power of the Holy Spirit, they become the actual Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. We are invited to the altar to receive the Eucharist and to participate in this moment made present to us again on the altar. G. Ask your students how often the Church asks us to attend Mass. Once a week on Sunday (or Saturday evenings) and on Holy Days of Obligation (special holy days throughout the year). Unit 5, lesson 3 405
8 LESSON PLAN H. Explain to your students that the minimum requirement for all Catholics is to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, but that Mass is offered every day, and Catholics who have received their first Communion can receive the Eucharist every time we go to Mass, as long as we are free from mortal sin. Activity Have your students turn to Liturgy of the Eucharist (page 190) and follow along as you read aloud about the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Assessment A. After reading, have your students turn to Liturgy of the Eucharist Word Scramble (page 193) and unscramble the words to complete the sentences. B. When your students have finished, review and discuss the correct answers. 406 SOPHIA INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS
