De la misa a la mision: La misa y su significado para nuestra vida cristiana by Trish Sullivan Vanni and Paul Turner

Every Sunday, Catholics gather together to attend Mass in memory of Jesus. At Mass we give God our thanksgiving, praise, and worship. We hear his Word and receive the Body and Blood of Christ. Participating at Mass is the most important thing Catholics do each week, for it is at Mass that we are changed, becoming what we have received in the Eucharist. The Mass charges us with an important mission to be Christ in a world that is broken and in need of healing.

This resource explores the parts of the Mass in a deeper way, helping you to better appreciate the meaning of the prayers, responses, acclamations, gestures, signs, and symbols. From Mass to Mission will inspire you to be more actively and consciously involved in the Mass and in the world as Christ's disciples. This booklet can be used by individuals, members of worship commissions, liturgical ministers, or in adult faith formation sessions. An accompanying leaders guide is available.
