Get an Original Essay In the Catholic Church, the liturgy is understood as the official common prayers of the Church. The liturgy is intended to continue the priestly office of Jesus Christ (Pius XII, Mediator Dei). Understood in this sense, the liturgy is therefore the official prayer of the Church which intends to unite believers, through Jesus Christ, with God the creator. In the Catholic Church there are many forms of prayer that are considered liturgy. One of the most common and important liturgies in the Catholic Church is the celebration of the Eucharist. In this article I will describe my experiences during the celebration of the Eucharist. In describing my experiences during the celebration of the Eucharist, I focused on my experiences of interacting with the participants, on how I experienced the presence of Jesus Christ in the liturgical actions, on how I experienced the Liturgy as a didactic action and on how my experiences have drawn me closer to the community with which I celebrated the Eucharist. In the interaction between the participants in the liturgy of the Eucharistic celebration, I experienced that there was a close interaction between all the participants in the liturgical celebration. But, although all participants in the celebration were closely related to each other, the participants, nevertheless, had different roles to play in the liturgical celebration. Initially the priest presided over the Eucharistic celebration and in this position acts in the person of Jesus Christ, that is, he represents Jesus Christ in offering the Holy Sacrifice to God. The other members of the congregation also have different roles to play. Among them are members of the choir who lead the congregation in hymns. Furthermore, there are those who read/announce the word, but the Gospel is announced by the priest. But although there are different roles played by members of the congregation in the celebration of the Eucharist, the liturgical celebration, nevertheless, takes place harmoniously and all members actively participate in every aspect of the celebration of the liturgy; while the priest leads the celebration of the liturgy, the other members of the assembly participate actively and lively in the mass and give, where necessary, some answers. In summary, all participants in the Eucharistic liturgy relate closely and harmoniously in the celebration of the Eucharistic liturgy. In the celebration of the Eucharist I experienced the presence of Jesus Christ in various ways. First of all, the ritual in which the priest blessed those present with holy water at the beginning of the Eucharistic celebration made me feel a lot of joy and inner peace at the beginning of the mass. Second, during the proclamation of the Word, I felt deeply touched by the Word of God. The word of God challenged, inspired, and encouraged me to work harder in my Christian life. Furthermore, the priest's preaching made me experience more and more the presence of Jesus Christ. The priest's preaching made me understand more the content of the word of God. Then, the Consecration of the bread andof wine in the body and blood and in Jesus Christ made me experience more deeply the presence of Jesus Christ. Once again, receiving the Holy Eucharist made me experience more deeply the presence of Jesus Christ. Apart from the prayers in the Eucharist which made me experience the presence of Jesus Christ quite deeply, the way the prayers were conducted and the various actions in the celebration of the Eucharist made me experience the presence of Jesus Christ. For example, kneeling during the consecration of the bread and wine made me feel humble before God and this made me experience the presence of Jesus Christ. In short, all the rites and prayers of the Eucharistic celebration made me experience the presence of Jesus Christ. In addition to experiencing the presence of Jesus Christ in the celebration of the Eucharist, I also experienced the liturgy as a didactic action. The various prayers recited in the Eucharistic celebration made me better acquainted with the teaching of the Church. For example, the Nicene Creed recited in the liturgy of the Eucharist made me better acquainted with the teaching of the Church. The Nicene Creed sets forth the fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church, particularly the Church's teachings on the nature of Jesus Christ and his relationship with God the Father. Furthermore, the Word of God proclaimed in the liturgy of the Eucharistic celebration and the subsequent preaching of the presiding priest made me better acquainted with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Furthermore, receiving Holy Communion gave me a profound spiritual experience and this led me to confirm the truth of the Catholic Church's teachings on the Eucharist as the true body and blood of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, my experience in the liturgy of the Eucharist brought me closer to the community with which I celebrated the Eucharist. Since all the participants in the Eucharistic celebration were involved in the celebration, the celebration of the Eucharist made me feel closer to all the participants in the liturgy at the end of the celebration. Furthermore, during the Eucharistic celebration, during the sign of the cross, when the participants in the Eucharistic celebration are expected to greet each other as a sign of peace, I felt closer to the other participants. Once again, the Holy Spirit that I received during the celebration of the Eucharist made me feel closer to the other participants in the Eucharistic celebration. In general, all the experiences I had during the Eucharistic celebration made me feel closer to the rest of the participants in the Eucharistic celebration. One of the foundations of Catholic theology are the traditions of the Church. By Traditions of the Church we mean all the teachings of Jesus Christ that were transmitted from Jesus Christ to the apostles, and then from the apostles to the bishops of the Church until modern times (Verbum Dei, web). The Church believes that, although the New Testament records the works and teachings of Jesus Christ, the New Testament, however, does not record all of the teachings of Jesus Christ and, therefore, what the apostles of Jesus Christ learned from Jesus Christ and passed on to subsequent bishops is as valid as what is reported in the New Testament about Jesus Christ. The Church also attaches great importance to the teachings of the apostles and their interpretation of the Scriptures. The teaching of the Church Fathers who wrote in the patristic and post-apostolic periods also constitutes an important part of the Church's tradition. The Catholic Church, therefore, attaches great importance to the traditions of the Church and considers them to be the legitimate teachings of Jesus Christ. The second foundation of Catholic theology is the Magisterium. The Magisterium is the official teaching body of the Church. TheMagisterium is composed of the Pope and all the bishops of the Catholic Church. But, although the Magisterium is the official teaching body of the Church, bishops can delegate their teaching task to priests for effectiveness in spreading the Gospel. For this reason, bishops through the authority given to them by the bishops can teach in the Church. The idea behind the Magisterium is the fact that, although Jesus Christ ascended into heaven, he did not leave his followers orphans, but left an authoritative body that could, with the help of the Holy Spirit, preach without error on matters of faith. The Church therefore believes that the Magisterium is promised the gift of inerrancy by Jesus Christ himself. In Catholic theology, therefore, theologians should work in collaboration with the Magisterium of the Church and the conclusions of the theologians should be approved by the Magisterium if the conclusions of the theologians are to be considered as the true and official position of the Church. In the parish context, I would use these two foundations of Catholic theology to identify the ''truths of faith'' within it. Regarding the traditions of the Church, I inform parishioners that the contents of the traditions of the Church are an integral part of Catholic Theology. I would like to support my argument by arguing that since the disciples of Jesus Christ had been with him throughout his public ministry, they must have learned from him many things that could not all be written in one book. For this reason, these disciples of Jesus Christ had to pass on the valuable information they had learned from Jesus Christ to the disciples who replaced them. Furthermore, I would say that all the traditions of the Church are not contrary to the teachings of the Bible, but are in harmony with all the teachings of the Bible and explain more of the biblical teachings. For this reason, I would like to tell parishioners that the contents of the Church traditions are true and, therefore, should be respected as the true teachings of Jesus Christ. On the Magisterium, I would like to inform parishioners that the basis of the Magisterium is in the teachings of Jesus Christ. I would say that the promise of Jesus Christ to send the Holy Spirit to the apostles after his ascension, came true when he sent the Holy Spirit to his disciples on the day of Pentecost and still continues to send the Holy Spirit to the current leaders of the Church, the Magisterium and therefore the Holy Spirit continues to guide Church leaders to the truth of the teachings of Jesus Christ. As such, I would argue that the promise of inerrancy to the Magisterium is in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, I would argue that none of the teachings and biblical interpretations of the Magisterium are contrary to the teachings of the Bible; the teachings of the Magisterium are in fact consistent with the teachings of the Bible. I therefore invite parishioners to accept the authority of the Magisterium and to accept the teachings of the Magisterium as the authoritative teachings of Jesus Christ Himself. To ensure that my parishioners have clearly understood and accepted the truth of these two foundations of Catholic theology, I would say that the teachings of the traditions of the Church and the Magisterium of the Church are based on right reason and that they are not contrary to reason; the content of the traditions of the Church and the Magisterium can be explained in terms of popular theology. As the ''Letter from a Birmingham Jail'' (Laurance, 2008) shows, theology is reconcilable with right reason. In the letter, Martin Luther King, jn, defended his agitation for an end to the segregation of blacks by whites in Birmingham, Alabama. Martin Luther argued that his actions in a foreign land, Alabama, could be compared to the works of the prophet, whereby the prophets left their.
