It is a sign of Christ in our 23-26, 28-31; 2 Cor 5:14-17; midst; indeed, it has been said that “the altar is Christ” (Dedicaon of an Mk 4:35-41 Altar, 4). The altar is a table “on which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated in mystery throughout the ages unl Christ comes”; but it is also the place for a fesve meal: “a table at which the Church’s children assemble to give thanks to God and receive the body and blood of Christ” (Dedicaon of an Altar, 4). Both these funcons of the altar are clear in the rites for the preparaon of the altar that follow the general intercessions, which remind us of the preparaons we make at home for a fesve meal. The deacon or altar servers come forward and, bowing, place a cloth known as a corporal (from the Lan for “body”) over the altar cloth. They place the chalice, the cup to be used in the celebraon of the Eucharist, and the Sacramentary or Roman Missal, which contains the prayers of the Mass, on the altar. These reverent preparaons help us to focus on what is about to happen: the sharing of a holy meal, a solemn sacrifice. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
