Why does the service go for six hours?

 

[Augustine]

I do not understand how Catholics have come to name their liturgy, “dismissal”, as it comes from the Latin expression “Ite missa est” (Go, the dismissal is made).

And then thank God for having finally been dismissed.

 

[SyroMalankara]

Why does the service go for six hours?

Multiple Liturgies – I think they have 3 each Sunday due to the numbers of parishioners and clergy.

 

[SyroMalankara]

I doubt there are many Catholics who have any such understanding. To them it is simply “mass”.

True, but the same can be said for most Byzantine Catholics, most Eastern Orthodox etc, in whatever language they refer to the Divine Liturgy as. The Syriac Divine Liturgy is typically called the “Holy Qurbono”, meaning Offering/Oblation/Sacrifice, I don’t know how many today realize the deeper meaning.

I believe most would actually know what it means.

I’d say SOME, maybe even MANY, but MOST? I doubt it.

And regardless of the origins of the word, the term “Mass” has come to mean the Eucharistic Liturgy in which heaven and earth are wed, the sacrifice of the cross made present, and the risen Lord encountered and received.
