{{main|Mass (liturgy)|Mass in the Catholic Church}}
The term "[[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]]" is used in the [[Catholic Church]], the [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] churches (especially the [[Church of Sweden|Churches of Sweden]], [[Church of Norway|Norway]] and [[Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland|Finland]]), and by some Anglicans. It derives from the Latin word {{lang|la|missa}}, a dismissal: {{lang|la|"[[Ite missa est]]",}} or "go, it is sent", the very last phrase of the service.<ref>''Oxford English Dictionary'', s.v. [http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/114665 "mass"].</ref> That Latin word has come to imply "mission" as well because the congregation is sent out to serve Christ.<ref>{{cite web |title=Concluding Rites |url=http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/the-mass/order-of-mass/concluding-rites/index.cfm |website=www.usccb.org |access-date=14 September 2018 }}</ref>

At least in the Catholic Church, the Mass is a long rite in two parts: the [[Liturgy of the Word]] and the [[Liturgy of the Eucharist]]. The former consists of [[lection|readings]] from the Bible and a [[homily]], or sermon, given by a priest or deacon. The latter, which follows seamlessly, includes the "[[Offertory|Offering]]" of the bread and wine at the altar, their consecration by the priest through prayer, and their reception by the congregation in Holy Communion.<ref>{{cite web |title=liturgy of the Eucharist {{!}} Definition & Rite |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/liturgy-of-the-Eucharist |website=Encyclopedia Britannica |access-date=21 April 2021 |language=en}}</ref> Among the many other terms used in the Catholic Church are "Holy Mass", "the Memorial of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord", the "Holy Sacrifice of the Mass", and the "Holy Mysteries".<ref>{{cite book | author=Catholic Church | year=2006 |title=Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church | page=275 | publisher=Libreria Editrice Vaticana }}, and {{cite book | author=Catholic Church | year=1997 | title=Catechism of the Catholic Church | pages=1328–32 | publisher=United States Conference of Catholic Bishops | isbn=978-1574551105 | url=https://archive.org/details/catechismofcatho2000cath | url-access=registration }}</ref>
