Sign of the Cross 

All make the Sign of the Cross as the Priest says: 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 

Greeting 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, 

and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.                  

Or: 

Grace to you and peace from God our Father
 and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Or: 

The Lord be with you. 

And with your spirit. 

Penitential Act

The Priest invites the faithful to the Penitential Act. Then one of the Penitential Acts follows: 

I confess to almighty God

and to you, my brothers and sisters, 

that I have greatly sinned, 

in my thoughts and in my words,

in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,


And, striking their breast, they say:

through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; 

therefore I ask blessed Mary ever Virgin, 

all the Angels and Saints,

and you, my brothers and sisters,

to pray for me to the Lord our God. 

The absolution by the Priest follows: 

May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, 

and bring us to everlasting life. 

Amen. 

The Kyrie, eleison (Lord, have mercy) may follow. 

Lord, have mercy.        Lord, have mercy. 

Christ, have mercy.      Christ, have mercy. 

Lord, have mercy.        Lord, have mercy. 

The Gloria 

When indicated this hymn is either sung or said: 

Glory to God in the highest, 

and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you,


we give you thanks for your great glory, 

Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. 

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; 

you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; 

you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord,

you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, 

with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. 

The Collect 

When this hymn is concluded, the Priest says: 

Let us pray. 

And all pray in silence with the Priest for a while.

Then the Priest says the Collect prayer, at the end of which the people acclaim: 

Amen. 

First Reading 

To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims: 

The word of the Lord. 

Thanks be to God. 

Psalm 

After the First Reading the psalmist or cantor sings or says the Psalm, with the people making the response. 

Second Reading 

On Sundays and certain other days there is a second reading. It concludes with the same response as above. 

Gospel 

The assembly stands to sing the Gospel Acclamation to welcome the Gospel. They remain standing in honour of the Gospel reading, the high point of the Liturgy of the Word. 

The Lord be with you. 

And with your spirit. 

A reading from the holy Gospel according to N…..


Glory to you, O Lord.


At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Priest, acclaims: 

The Gospel of the Lord. 

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. 

The Homily 

At the end of the Homily it is appropriate for there to be a brief silence for recollection. 

The Creed 

On Sundays and Solemnities, the Profession of Faith or Creed will follow. During Lent and Easter Time, especially, the Apostles’ Creed may be used. 

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, 

maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible. 

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, 

born of the Father before all ages. 

God from God, Light from Light, 

true God from true God, begotten, not made, 

consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. 

For us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, 

At the words that follow, up to and including, and became man, all bow. 

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, 

and became man. 

For our sake, he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, 

he suffered death and was buried, 

and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. 

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. 

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead 

and his kingdom will have no end. 

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son, 

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, 

who has spoken through the prophets. 

I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.


I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins, 

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead 

and the life of the world to come. 

Amen. 

The Prayer of the Faithful 

After each intention, there is a pause while the faithful pray. 

Lord, in your mercy. 

Hear our prayer. 

The Priest concludes the Prayer with a collect.

When the Liturgy of the Word has been completed, the people sit. 

The Priest completes additional personal preparatory rites, and the people rise as he says: 

Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters), 

that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, 

The almighty Father. 

May the Lord accept the sacrifice

at your hands for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

Then the Priest says the Prayer over the Offerings, at the end of which the people acclaim:

Amen. 

The Eucharistic Prayer

The Lord be with you.                                And with your spirit. 

Lift up your hearts.                                     We lift them up to the Lord. 

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.     It is right and just. 

It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks, 

Father most holy, through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ,
your Word through whom you made all things,
whom you sent as our Saviour and Redeemer,
incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin.

Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people,
he stretched out his hands as he endured his Passion,
so as to break the bonds of death and manifest the resurrection.

And so, with the Angels and all the Saints we declare your glory,
as with one voice we acclaim:

The Priest concludes the Preface with the people, singing 

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. 

Hosanna in the highest. 

The Priest continues with the Eucharistic Prayer. After the words of Consecration, the priest says: 

The mystery of faith. 

We proclaim your Death, O Lord,


and profess your Resurrection


until you come again. 

Or: 

When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,


we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
 

until you come again. 

Or: 

Save us, Saviour of the world, 

for by your Cross and Resurrection 

you have set us free. 

At the conclusion of the prayer, the Priest takes the chalice and the paten with the host and, raising both, he says 

Through him, and with him, and in him, 

O God, almighty Father,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit, 

all glory and honour is yours,

for ever and ever. 

Amen. 

The Communion Rite 

The Lord’s Prayer 

At the Saviour’s command

and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:


Our Father, who art in heaven, 

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come, 

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, 

and forgive us our trespasses, 

as we forgive those who trespass against us; 

and lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil. 

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, 

graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin

and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

For the kingdom, 

the power and the glory 

are yours now and for ever. 

Lord Jesus Christ,
who said to your Apostles:
Peace I leave you, my peace I give you; 

look not on our sins,

but on the faith of your Church,
and graciously grant her peace 

and unity in accordance with your will.

Who live and reign for ever and ever.

Amen. 

The peace of the Lord be with you always.      

And with your spirit. 

Let us offer each other the sign of peace. 

All offer one another the customary sign of peace. 

Breaking of the Bread 

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, 

have mercy on us. 

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, 

have mercy on us. 

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, 

grant us peace. 

Invitation to Communion all kneel. After his private prayers of preparation, the Priest genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten or above the chalice, says aloud: 

Behold the Lamb of God,

behold him who takes away the sins of the world.


Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.


Lord, I am not worthy

that you should enter under my roof, 

but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. 

Communion 

The communicants come forward in reverent procession, and make a preparatory act of reverence by bowing their head in honour of Christ’s presence in the Sacrament. 

The Body (Blood) of Christ. 

Amen. 

After the distribution of Communion, if appropriate, a sacred silence may be observed for a while, or a psalm or other canticle of praise or a hymn may be sung. 

Prayer after Communion, all stand 

Let us pray. 

All pray in silence. Then the Priest says the Prayer after Communion, at the end of which the people acclaim: 

Amen. 

The Concluding Rites 

The Concluding Rites send the people forth to put into effect in their lives what they have received. 

Blessing 

The Lord be with you.                          

And with your spirit. 

May Almighty God bless you,

the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

Amen. 

Dismissal 

Then the Deacon, or the Priest, says one of the following: 

Go forth, the Mass is ended.
Or: 

Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord. 

Or: 

Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life. Go in peace. 

Thanks be to God.
