Mass (liturgy)

Mass is one of the names by which the sacrament of the Eucharist is commonly called in the Catholic Church,Western Rite Orthodox churches and many Old Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran churches, as well as some Methodist churches. Apart from "Eucharist" others are the "Lord's Supper", the "Breaking of Bread", the "Eucharistic assembly (synaxis)", the "memorial of the Lord's Passion and Resurrection", the "Holy Sacrifice", the "Holy and Divine Liturgy" and "Holy Communion". In these denominations, the term Mass often refers to the entire church service in general. Some Protestants employ terms such as Divine Service or service of worship, rather than the word Mass, although other Protestants, such as Anglicans and Lutherans, use the word. For the celebration of the Eucharist in Eastern churches, including those in full communion with the Holy See, other terms such as the Divine Liturgy, the Qurbono Qadisho or Holy Qurbana and the Badarak are normal.

Etymology

The English noun mass is derived from Middle Latin missa. The Latin word was adopted in Old English as mæsse (via a Vulgar Latin form *messa), and was sometimes glossed as sendnes (i.e. "a sending, dismission"). The Latin term missa itself was in use by the 6th century. It is most likely derived from the concluding formula Ite, missa est ("Go; the dismissal is made"); missa here is a Late Latin substantive corresponding to classical missio.

    The Mass

    by: Storyteller

    [M: Persson, L: Persson]
    Bleesed are the ones that serves our God
    Bleesed are the ones
    Bleesed are the ones
    Cause doing his deeds gives you entrance above
    Rewarded with paradise
    He gave us his life to rescue our souls
    "Glory to him"
    "Glory to him"
    So that's why we all must follow his word
    And redeem ourselves from sin
    All must follow his will
    And spread his word to all they shall meet
    And make them all see that there's only one
    The one and only, mighty God
    But woe to them all that breaks his commands
    "Hell shall await"
    "Hell shall await"
    Cause witches belong in the fires of hell
    And burn for eternity
    Those who worship the demon below
    Forever they'll be banished by him
    So in his name we'll slaughter them all
    And send them to the abyss
    No one will be spared
    There's no mercy for the children of hell
    If they are not stopped they will take your souls
    And torment you forevermore
    [Solo: Fredrik]
    So if you all want entrance above
    You must believe, you must believe
    And swear that you're loyal and follow his will
    Then to heaven you'll get a key
    The bringer of light will shine on us all
    Shine on us all, shine on us all
    And we shall receive all heavenly joys
    For serving our lord
    So, hear what I say
    Repent yourself, and follow his way
    And I can assure you this choice from this time
    Will give you a beautifull life
    So hear what I say
    Repent yourself, and follow his way
    And I can assure you this choice from this time
