The Eucharistic Celebration takes place in two great parts and both are linked together very closely so that they form one and the same act of worship: the Liturgy of the Word (the table of the Word) and the Liturgy of the Eucharist (the table of the Eucharist). The Liturgy of the Word is preceded by the Introductory Rite (the opening hymn, the sign of the Cross, the greeting, the penitential rite, the Gloria, the Collect) all of these elements help to make the faithful aware that they are in the presence of God before they listen to his Word and give thanks to him with the Eucharist. The Liturgy of the Eucharist is followed by the Rite of Conclusion. 148
