==[[Blog:Why are there no eulogies in a Catholic Funeral Mass?|Why are there no eulogies in a Catholic Funeral Mass?]]== [[File:Funeral mass John Mitchell Collection, CUA.png|thumb|<small>Funeral mass John Mitchell Collection, CUA.png</small> |305x305px]]<small>March 12, 2024 by Michael</small> The purpose of the Liturgy & lay participation at Mass: Liturgical celebrations are, by definition, public ceremonies (see [[Glossary of terms for catechism of the Catholic faith#liturgy|Glossary: Liturgy]]). But they are not for the public. In liturgical celebrations, the faithful come together to celebrate, praise, and glorify God. When we interject ourselves into the Mass, we make it about us, not God. I love a good Homily, and enjoy a particularly beautiful choir, but those liturgical elements elevate and do not replace the purpose of the Mass.
