1

Create a PowerPoint presentation of the invitations and responses said during the Liturgy of the Word. Pay particular attention to words that have changed. Use the presentation to practise and correct responses.

2

Include in your PowerPoint presentation the actions, postures and gestures you should be undertaking when responding.

3

Now watch the video of this part of the Mass again, paying particular attention to the spoken and physical responses from the assembly.

 


For Reflection

  • Read the words of the dismissals quietly. What do you think they mean? Is there an action here?
