What is the key aspect of a Mass Card?

  1. To specify the type of burial

  2. To commemorate a memorial gathering

  3. To indicate the intention for a Mass offering

  4. To provide details of a graveside service

The correct answer is: To indicate the intention for a Mass offering

The key aspect of a Mass Card is its function to indicate the intention for a Mass offering. This card serves as a means for individuals to request that a priest celebrate a Mass in honor of a deceased loved one or for a particular intention, such as in memory of someone or for their well-being. By presenting a Mass Card, the individual not only acknowledges the importance of the Mass within the traditions of the Catholic faith but also conveys that the Mass should be offered specifically for the stated intention. Commemorating a memorial gathering focuses more on the overall remembrance of the deceased and the gathering of people rather than the specific action of having a Mass offered on their behalf. Although a Mass Card may be associated with memorial gatherings, that is not its primary function. Similarly, specifying burial types or providing details about graveside services does not relate to the purpose of a Mass Card, as these elements address different aspects of funeral and burial practices rather than the sacramental aspect of the Mass itself.
