The Liturgy of the Eucharist is part of which liturgical service?

• A. The Divine Liturgy
• B. The Mass
• C. The Liturgy of the Word
• D. The Sacrament of Baptism

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that the Eucharist is celebrated as the central act within the main worship service. In Western Christian practice, this service is called the Mass. During the Liturgy of the Eucharist, prayers lead into the blessing and consecration of bread and wine, which believers then receive as Communion. This portion happens after the initial part of the service that includes Scripture readings and a sermon, known as the Liturgy of the Word. Baptism is a separate sacrament and not part of this Eucharistic portion. The Divine Liturgy is the term used in Eastern churches for their main service, serving the same purpose as the Mass, but in the context of Western practice the common term is Mass, making it the best fit for where the Liturgy of the Eucharist occurs.
