[Mrs. Don-o]

I remember it as ACTS:

Adoration

Contrition

Thanksgiving

Supplication

As a catechist, I always take the opportuniy to say this is on an incomparably higher level --- different ballpark, actually--- to the way we venerate the saints, the angels, and God's Blessed Mother, in prayer. What they rate, as creatures, is on a level of (creaturely) equality, as in "HI!":

Honor

Intercession

`

...just as we ourselves as believers, share.

Hey, my good fellow. Pray for me?

[Marchmain]

Yes I will, please say a prayer for me too.

I forgot contrition. ACTS make sense because those are the things we bring to mass. Consciously doing these 4 ‘acts’ is what’s meant by ‘active participation’. The mass is prayer.
