The Priest approaches the altar with the ministersand venerates it while the Entrance Song is sung.  \nSign of the Cross  \nAll make the Sign of the Cross as the Priest says:  \nIn the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.  \nAmen.  \nGreeting  \nThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,  \nand the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Or:  \nGrace to you and peace from God our Father  \nand the Lord Jesus Christ. Or:  \nThe Lord be with you.  \nAnd with your spirit.  \nPenitential Act  \nThe Priest invites the faithful to the Penitential Act.  \nThen one of the Penitential Acts follows:  \nI confess to almighty God  \nand to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned,  \nin my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,  \nAnd, striking their breast, they say:  \nthrough my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,  \nall the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.  \nHave mercy on us, O Lord.  \nFor we have sinned against you.  \nShow us, O Lord, your mercy.  \nAnd grant us your salvation.  \nYou were sent to heal the contrite of heart:  \nLord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.  \nLord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.  \nYou came to call sinners:  \nChrist, have mercy. Or: Christe, eleison.  \nChrist, have mercy. Or: Christe, eleison.  \nYou are seated at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us:  \nLord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.  \nLord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.  \nThe absolution by the Priest follows: May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins,  \nand bring us to everlasting life.  \nAmen.  \nThe Kyrie, eleison (Lord, have mercy) may follow.  \nLord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.  \nLord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.  \nChrist, have mercy. Or: Christe, eleison.  \nChrist, have mercy. Or: Christe, eleison.  \nLord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.  \nLord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison. The Gloria  \nWhen indicated this hymn is either sung or said:  \nGlory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will.  \nWe praise you,  \nwe bless you,  \nwe adore you,  \nwe glorify you,  \nwe give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King,  \nO God, almighty Father.  \nLord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God,  \nSon of the Father,  \nyou take away the sins ofthe world, have mercy on us;  \nyou take away the sins ofthe world, receive our prayer;  \nyou are seated at the right hand of the Father,  \nhave mercy on us.  \nFor you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,  \nwith the Holy Spirit,  \nin the glory of God the Father.  \nAmen.  \nThe Collect  \nWhen this hymn is concluded, the Priest, says:  \nLet us pray.  \nAnd all pray in silence with the Priest for a while.  \nThen the Priest says the Collect prayer, at the end of which the people acclaim:  \nAmen.  \nThe Liturgy of the Word  \nBy hearing the word proclaimed in worship, the faithful again enter into the unending dialogue between God and the covenant people, a dialogue sealed in the sharing of the Eucharistic food and drink.  \nFirst Reading all sit  \nTo indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims: The word of the Lord.  \nThanks be to God.  \nPsalm  \nAfter the First Reading the psalmist or cantor sings or says the Psalm, with the people making the response.  \nSecond Reading  \nOn Sundays and certain other days there is a second reading. It concludes with the same response as above.  \nGospel  \nThe 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.
