⭐ Core Definition: Deutsche Messe

Deutsche Messe ("German Mass"; full title: Deutsche Messe und Ordnung des Gottesdiensts, "German Mass and Order of Worship") was published by Martin Luther in 1526. It followed his work Formula missae from the year 1523, pertaining to the celebration of a Latin mass. Both of these masses were meant only as suggestions made on request and were not expected to be used exactly as they were, but could be altered. The function of the mass, according to Luther, is to make people hear the word.

The German Mass was completely chanted, except for the sermon.

👉 Deutsche Messe in the context of Divine Service (Lutheran)

The Divine Service (German: Gottesdienst) is a title given to the Eucharistic liturgy as used in Confessional Lutheran churches of North America. It has its roots in the Pre-Tridentine Mass as revised by Martin Luther in his Formula missae ("Form of the Mass") of 1523 and his Deutsche Messe ("German Mass") of 1526. It was further developed through the Kirchenordnungen ("church orders") of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that followed in the Lutheran tradition.

In the Nordic countries, where Lutheranism predominates, the usual term for the Eucharistic liturgy is Mass, even among Confessional Lutheran Churches. In denominations heavily influenced by the twentieth century ecumenical and liturgical movements, such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the terms "Holy Communion" or "the Eucharist" are more frequently used.
