ACTIVITY: Together watch the FORMED.org video Presence for Children: The Miracle at Every Mass.
This 11-minute video shows that at every Sunday Mass, we get to witness a miracle. Sometimes it can be difficult to wrap our minds and hearts around this fact. In this Bonus Episode of Presence: Mystery of the Eucharist, Fr. Riley will give us a special, close-up look at the Eucharistic miracle at every Mass.
Click HERE to begin the video.

Take time and discuss the following:
Who are we receiving at Communion? (Jesus) Who is Jesus? (Lord, God)
What are some words or responses from Mass you recognize?
Parent(s) - Explain the following items that are used during the Sacrament of the Eucharist:
Tabernacle - The tabernacle is the metal casing or box located in the sanctuary where the Blessed Sacrament is kept.
|
Altar - The altar is a table that we gather around to celebrate Mass. The bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
|
Ciborium - The ciborium holds the Hosts which become the Body of Christ at Mass. The Hosts left in the ciborium are covered and placed in the tabernacle.
|
Chalice - The chalice holds the wine which becomes the Blood of Christ.
|
EXTRA! for the Parents... Watch The Veil Removed. You are encouraged to watch it again or watch it for the first time. This 7-minute video is certainly powerful and the artist's mission is to increase participation and understanding of the Eucharist by igniting amazement through the miraculous beauty of the Catholic Mass.
