Lutherans affirm that the Sacrifice of the Mass (''sacrificium eucharistikon'') is a [[sacrifice]] of thanksgiving and praise (''sacrificia laudis''):<ref name="LWF2006">{{cite web |title=The Mystery of the Church: D. The Holy Eucharist in the Life of the Church |url=https://lutheranworld.org/sites/default/files/2022-02/2006-Lutheran_Orthodox_Dialogue-EN.pdf |publisher=[[Lutheran World Federation]] |location=[[Bratislava]] |page=1 |date=2006}}</ref>
{{quotation|We are perfectly willing for the Mass to be understood as a daily sacrifice, provided this means the whole Mass, the ceremony and also the proclamation of the Gospel, faith, prayer, and thanksgiving. Taken together, these are the daily sacrifice of the New Testament; the ceremony was instituted because of them and ought not be separated from them. Therefore Paul says (I Cor. 11:26), “As often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death.” (Apology XXIV:35)<ref name="Webber1992"/>}}
[[Martin Luther]] rejected parts of the Roman Rite Mass, specifically the Roman Catholic [[Canon of the Mass]], which, as he argued, did not conform with {{bibleverse||Hebrews|7:27}}. That verse contrasts the Old Testament priests, who needed to make a propitiatory sacrifice for sins on a regular basis, with the single priest Christ, who offers his body only once as a sacrifice. The theme is carried out also in {{bibleverse||Hebrews|9:26}}, {{bibleverse-nb||Heb|9:28}}, and {{bibleverse-nb||Heb|10:10}}. Luther composed as a replacement a revised Latin-language rite, ''[[Formula missae|Formula Missae]],'' in 1523, and the vernacular [[Deutsche Messe]] in 1526.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Reuther |first=Thomas |date=1952-06-01 |title=The Background and Objectives of Luther's Formula Missae and Deutsche Messe |url=https://scholar.csl.edu/bdiv/385 |journal=Bachelor of Divinity}}</ref> The ''Formula Missae'' supplanted the Canon of the Mass with the following:
{{quotation|

(i) ''[[Sursum Corda]]'' and preface, to 'through Christ our Lord'.<br />
(ii) The [[Words of Institution]], intoned.<br />
(iii) The ''[[Sanctus]]'' and ''[[Sanctus|Benedictus]]'' with the [[Elevation (liturgy)|elevation]] of the [[sacramental bread|bread]] and the [[Chalice#Christian|cup]].<ref name="Spinks1975">{{cite book|last1=Spinks |first1=Bryan D. |title=Luther and the Canon of the Mass |publisher=Liturgical Review |page=36 |date=1975}}</ref>

}}
The [[Apology of the Augsburg Confession]] affirmed the Greek Canon, and the Pfalz-Neuburg Church Order (1543), modeled by the Lutheran divine [[Philip Melanchthon]] includes the following [[Anaphora (liturgy)|Eucharistic Prayer]] prior to the Words of Institution:<ref name="BradshawJohnson2012"/>
{{quotation| Lord Jesus Christ, thou only true Son of the living God, who hast given thy body unto bitter death for us all, and hast shed thy blood for the forgiveness of our sins, and hast bidden all thy disciples to eat that same thy body and to drink thy blood whereby to remember thy death ; we bring before thy divine Majesty these thy gifts of bread and wine and beseech thee to hallow and bless the same by thy divine grace, goodness and power and ordain [''schaffen''] that this bread and wine may be [''sei''] thy body and blood, even unto eternal life to all who eat and drink thereof.<ref name="BradshawJohnson2012">{{cite book |last1=Bradshaw |first1=Paul F. |last2=Johnson |first2=Maxwell E. |title=The Eucharistic Liturgies: Their Evolution and Interpretation |date=2012 |publisher=Liturgical Press |isbn=978-0-8146-6240-3 |page=250-251 |language=en}}</ref>}}
The Order of the Mass produced under the liturgical reforms of the Lutheran divine [[Olavus Petri]], expanded the anaphora from the ''Formula Missae'', which liturgical scholar Frank Senn states fostered "a church life that was both catholic and evangelical, embracing the whole population of the country and maintaining continuity with pre-Reformation traditions, but centered in the Bible's gospel."<ref name="BradshawJohnson2012"/>

Scandinavian, [[Finns|Finnish]], and some English-speaking [[Lutheranism|Lutherans]], use the term "Mass" for their Eucharistic service,<ref>{{cite book|last= Hope|first= Nicholas|title= German and Scandinavian Protestantism 1700 to 1918|year= 1995|publisher= Oxford University Press, Inc.|isbn= 0-19-826994-3|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=DFL2GNDHPdYC|access-date= November 19, 2011|page= 18}}; see also [[Deutsche Messe]]</ref> though in most German- and English-speaking churches, the terms "Divine Service", "Holy Communion, or "the Holy Eucharist" are used more frequently, though the term "Mass" enjoys usage as well.<ref name="Webber1992">{{cite web |last1=Webber |first1=David Jay |title=Why is the Lutheran Church a Liturgical Church? |url=https://blc.edu/comm/gargy/gargy1/liturgical_church.html |publisher=[[Bethany Lutheran College]] |access-date=16 May 2025 |date=1992}}</ref>
