VBS Day #5 @ St. Apollinaris Church

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL - DAY #5
JUNE 23, 2017
9:00 AM - 12:00 NOON
SACRED MYSTERIES (YOUTH ROOM)
THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST (PART 4 OF THE MASS)



And now we come to the shortest section of the Mass, the Closing Rites.

Don't blink, or you'll miss it!

The priest says: "The Lord be with you," and you know the answer: "And with your spirit."

The priest then gives a blessing, and the priest or deacon gives a dismissal.

That's it.

We spent two days on the Liturgy of the Eucharist, and two minutes on the Closing Rites.

Here is a link to the 11 x 17 cards in PDF format.

And now, to solidify it ... let's have a test! Or better yet, let's play Jeopardy!
