The entrance of the priest and other ministers. Everyone will stand. Please
maintain your posture (stand straight and prayer position) All throughout the
Mass, please keep that gesture except every time you kneel.
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.
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 Gloria
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: Who lives and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever.
Amen.
By 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.
All sit.
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled,
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem.
Thanks be to God.
The psalmist will sing the psalms with the people making the response.
℟. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
℟. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
℟. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
If you take away their breath, they perish
and return to their dust.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.
℟. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
Thanks be to God.
The assembly stands to sing the Alleluia 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.
At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Priest, acclaims:
The Homily (here the priest will explain something about the readings read. So
please listen carefully, Fr. Rey might ask you something)
All sit. At the end of the Homily it is appropriate for there to be a brief silence
for recollection.
The Creed
All stand. On Sundays and Solemnities, the Profession of Faith or Nicene Creed
will follow. During Lent and Easter Time, especially, the Apostles’ Creed may be
used.
For Catholics, the Eucharist is the source and summit of the whole Christian life. It is the vital
centre of all that the Church is and does, because at its heart is the real presence of the crucified,
risen and glorified Lord, continuing and making available his saving work among us.
Offertory procession:
You will line up at the back. And during the singing of the offertory song. You will
walk towards the altar carrying your offerings.

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.
After the holy, everyone will kneel until the Great Amen.
The Priest continues with the Eucharistic Prayer. After the words of Consecration, the priest
says:
We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
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.
Everyone will stand, you don’t need to stretch your arms during the singing, you may just
keep the prayer position.
Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil… 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… Who live and reign for ever and ever.
Amen.
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 an act of reverence by bowing
their head in honour of Christ’s presence in the Sacrament. (But in your case, you will be
using kneeler, you will kneel with hands together and open your mouth, tongue out)
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.
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 send the people forth to put into effect in their lives what they have
received.
Blessing
May almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Dismissal
Thanks be to God.
Congratulations!
