Catechesis: Ap XXIV THE MASS

In our churches Mass is celebrated every Sunday and on other festivals, when the Sacrament is offered to those who wish for it after they have been examined and absolved. We keep traditional liturgical forms, such as the order of the lessons, prayers, vestments, etc.—Ap. XXIV:1

Epiphanius writes that in Asia Minor there were no daily Masses but Communion was celebrated three times a week, and that this practice comes from the apostles.—Ap. XXIV:8
