The [[Christianity|Christian]] Mysteries are sacred teachings and [[sacrament]]al rituals of [[Catholic Church|Catholic]], [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] and [[Lutheran]] Christianity. This terminology is heard today in the beginning of the Catholic [[Eucharist]] when the presiding celebrant of the [[liturgy]] says, "Brethren, let us acknowledge our sins, and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries", followed by a moment of silence for reflection, then a general collective formula prayer of confession of sins, followed by the opening prayer or invocation, after which comes the reading of the scriptures.
