The Introductory Rites

1. When the people are gathered, the Priest approaches the altar with the
ministers while the Entrance Chant is sung.
When he has arrived at the altar, after making a profound bow with
the ministers, the Priest venerates the altar with a kiss and, if appropriate,
incenses the cross and the altar. Then, with the ministers, he goes to the
chair.
When the Entrance Chant is concluded, the Priest and the faithful,
standing, sign themselves with the Sign of the Cross, while the Priest,
facing the people, says:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
The people reply:
THE ORDER OF MASS Amen.
2. Then the Priest, extending his hands, greets the people, saying:
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.
The people reply:
And with your spirit.

 The Communion Rite

After the chalice and paten have been set down, the Priest, with hands joined,
says:
At the Savior’s command
and formed by divine teaching,
we dare to say:
He extends his hands and, together with the people, continues:
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 don’t abandon us in temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
With hands extended, the Priest alone continues, saying:
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 Savior, Jesus Christ.
He joins his hands.
The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming:
For the kingdom,

Amen.
127. The Priest, turned towards the people, extending and then joining his
hands, adds:
The peace of the Lord be with you always.
The people reply:
And with your spirit.
128. Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Priest, adds:
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
And all offer one another a sign, in keeping with local customs, that
expresses peace, communion, and charity. The Priest gives the sign of
peace to a Deacon or minister.

129. Then he takes the host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small
piece in the chalice, saying quietly:
May this mingling of the Body and Blood
of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.

communicants. The Priest raises a host slightly and shows it to each of the
communicants, saying:
The Body of Christ.
THE ORDER OF MASS

The communicant replies:

Amen.
And receives Holy Communion.
If a Deacon also distributes Holy Communion, he does so in the same
manner.

135. If any are present who are to receive Holy Communion under both
kinds, the rite described in the proper place is to be followed.

136. While the Priest is receiving the Body of Christ, the Communion Chant
begins.

137. When the distribution of Communion is over, the Priest or a Deacon

or an acolyte purifies the paten over the chalice and also the chalice itself.
While he carries out the purification, the Priest says quietly:
What has passed our lips as food, O Lord,
may we possess in purity of heart,
that what has been given to us in time
may be our healing for eternity.

138. Then the Priest may return to the chair. 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.

139. Then, standing at the altar or at the chair and facing the people, with
hands joined, the Priest says:
Let us pray.
All pray in silence with the Priest for a while, unless silence has just
been observed. Then the Priest, with hands extended, says the Prayer after
Communion, at the end of which the people acclaim:
Amen.

The people reply:
