Catholic Mass Description?

I plan on attending a Catholic Mass this Christmas. I've been to one before, but understood little. I can't really find an actual outline of the mass and what the congregation is to do.

In short I need a step by step description of A Catholic Midnight Mass, and what the congregation is supposed to do. I do understand though so you don't need to tell me, I'm not in communion and I don't plan on taking the Eucharist I just want to attend a Catholic Mass

The longer and more detailed the better if you please.

    Look up "missal" on the internet. A missal is an order of Mass. Stand/sit when the congregation does. Sing from the hymnal or music sheet. It's really self-explanatory if it's in your native language. Peace and a Blessed Christ's Mass!

    Catholic Christian offerings are somewhat exceptional, in case you could like to peer what it was once like, there are movies on youtube to deliver you a regular proposal of what is going on. Basically, for the duration of Mass, baptized Catholic Christians obtain Holy Communion, wherein the priest blesses the wine and bread, they usually endure "transubstantiation" into the frame and blood of Christ. More in most probably, Spanish. There is a sermon. Yes there may be Biblical substance, a gigantic section of the New Testament is laid out to Mass, such because the Communion is Biblical, there are pages committed to it, and the priest quite often recites the facet of the Last Supper wherein Jesus blesses the bread and wine and says "do that in (for) the remembrance of me". Most of the Prayers are biblically established, Hail Mary, Our Father, and many others. I have a social phobia too, so that you need to be all set to say why you will have come there, for the reason that the participants will greet you after Mass is over. I did not like greeting folks, no longer for the reason that I did not like them, however I have a rough time making small speak and such.

    I was a catholic my whole life and never had the slightest idea what the heck was going on at mass.

    Just pay attention and do what everyone else does.

    That's what I always did.
