The Greatest Feast
This is the most important part of our week.
The Mass
The Israelites sacrificed this animal for the Passover meal.
Jesus celebrated this meal with His disciples before His death.
The Last Supper
Acts 2:42 says the early Christians devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, prayers, and the breaking of this.
Bread
Christians set aside this day each week for rest and worship.
Sunday
For Catholics, the Mass is our highest form of this.
Worship of God
The lamb had to be “unblemished,” meaning it had none of these.
Stains or imperfections
At the Last Supper, Jesus instituted this sacrament.
The Eucharist.
This early Christian described a celebration of Mass that has many parts we recognize today.
Saint Justin Martyr
We keep Sunday holy through these two activities.
Rest and worship
Jesus and His disciples were preparing to celebrate this Jewish feast.
Passover
The Israelites placed the lamb’s blood on these parts of their homes.
Wooden doorposts
The Last Supper the very first one of these.
Mass
In his description, readings came from the writings of the prophets and the memoirs of these people.
The apostles
Those who have received First Communion are to fast for this long before receiving Communion.
One hour
God’s people were enslaved in this country before the first Passover.
Egypt
Along with the lamb, the Israelites ate unleavened bread and these.
Bitter herbs
In the painting studied, the lamb stands on this, as Jesus is present upon it at Mass.
An altar
The people responded with this word after the prayers and thanksgiving.
Amen
Feeling physical hunger during the fast can remind us that our souls hunger for this person.
Jesus Christ
This leader refused to free the Israelites, even as God sent plagues.
Pharaoh
After the final plague, the Israelites were set free from slavery so they could do this.
Worship God.
The Passover lamb’s blood marked wooden doorposts. Jesus’ blood was shed on the wood of this.
The Cross.
The Latin word missa, from which “Mass” comes, means this.
Sent
We are invited to bring at least of these, to Jesus in our hearts at Mass.
Any two of: gratitude, a struggle, joyful news, a need, someone to pray for, an intention, or a sacrifice
