[Marchmain]

Anyone remember this? We were taught in grade school that Mass has a four-fold purpose:

adoration
sanctification
thanksgiving
supplication

(if I’m remembering right)

[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?
