The Liturgy of the Eucharist

The third section of the Mass is called the Liturgy of the Eucharist, which include the following parts:

• Offertory / Preparation of the Altar - we take a collection, sing a song, and prepare the altar for Communion
• Eucharistic Prayer - we give thanks and remember Jesus' story 
• The Lord's Prayer / Our Father - the prayer Jesus taught us to pray

• Sign of Peace - we show that we share something in common with each other
• Lamb of God - a prayer we say or sing before receiving Communion

• Communion - we receive the Body and Blood of Christ and sing a song
• Prayer After Communion - a special prayer reminding us of the readings we heard earlier

From Papa Francis: The Lord's Prayer

Pope Francis preached about the Lord's Prayer and what it means for our lives: “We have a Father. Very close to us, eh! Who embraces us... All these worries, concerns that we have, let's leave them to the Father, He knows what we need. But, Father, what? My father? No: Our Father! Because I am not an only child, none of us are, and if I cannot be a brother, I can hardly become a child of the Father, because He is a Father to all. Mine, sure, but also of others, of my brothers. And if I am not at peace with my brothers, I cannot say 'Father' to Him.”
