We have:
- The Gathering on Sunday
- On the day we call the day of the sun, all who dwell in the city or country gather in the same place.
- Reading of the Scriptures
- Here, the memoirs of the Apostles and the writings of the prophets are read. Memoirs meaning the Gospels.
- The Homily
- When the reader has finished, he who presides over those gathered admonished and challenges them to imitate these beautiful things, normally the priest.
- Prayers of the Faithful
- Then we all rise together and offer prayers for ourselves and for others, wherever they may be.
- An Offertory
- Then someone brings bread and a cup of water and wine mixed together to him who presides over the brethren.
- Eucharistic Prayer
- He takes them and offers praise and glory to the Father of the universe, through the name of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and for a considerable time he gives thanks, in Greek we would call this Eucharistian, that we have been judged worthy of these gifts.
- Reception of the Eucharist
- Last but not least, we have the Reception of the Eucharist. This is when he who presides has given thanks and the people have responded, those whom we call deacons give those present the 'eucharisted' bread and wine and water
