forth in our daily lives. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayers at Holy Mass
For Catholics, the Mass is the highest form of prayer. If this is so, then as a Mass Server, your duty is to know al the responses made during Mass. Let’s go through the prayers and responses you have to
know.
Penitential Rite
This is the point in the Mass when we go deep within ourselves with a heart of penitence, acknowledge
our sins, and ask for forgiveness.
Confiteor:
(Priest, Servers, and People)
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 the breast, they say) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; (then they continue) therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, al the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
The absolution by the Priest then fol ows, and everyone responds: Amen.
The ‘Gloria’ is sung or said on Solemnities and feasts and on Sundays except during Advent and Lent.
The Servers should sing or say the ‘Gloria’ in a firm voice matching their cadence to that of the cantor or Priest.
Gloria:
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good wil . We praise 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.
On Sundays and Solemnities the Creed (Profession of Faith) is recited or sung.
Profession of Faith (Nicene Creed):
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, make of heaven and earth, of al things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before al 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 fol ow 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 wil come again in glory to
judge the living and the dead and his kingdom wil 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.
Instead of the Nicene Creed, especially during the seasons of Lent and Easter, the baptismal symbol of the Catholic Church, known as the Apostles’ Creed, may be used.
