Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 214 - Part I.
Youcat answer:
Holy Mass
begins with the gathering of the faithful and the entrance of the priest and
the others who serve in the sanctuary (altar servers, lectors, cantors, and so
on).
After the greeting comes the Penitential Rite, which oncludes with the Kyrie. On Sundays (outside of Advent and
Lent) and feast days, the Gloria is
then sung or recited.
The prayer of the day introduces one or two readings from
the Old and New Testament, followed by the responsorial psalm. Before the
Gospel is read, there is an Alleluia,
or acclamation.
After the proclamation of the Gospel on Sundays and feast days,
the Priest or Deacon gives a Homily at
least on Sundays and feast days. Then, again only on Sundays and feast days,
the congregation professes its common faith in the Creed, followed by the intercessions.
The second part of Holy Mass
begins with the preparation of the gifts, which concludes with the Offertory
prayer. The high point of the Eucharistic celebration is the Eucharistic
Prayer, which is introduced by the Preface and the Sanctus. Now the gifts of bread and wine are transformed into the
Body and Blood of Christ. The Eucharistic Prayer concludes, finally, in the Doxology, which makes the transition to
the Lord’s Prayer.
Then comes the prayer for peace, the Agnus Dei, the breaking of the bread, and the distribution of the
holy Gifts to the faithful, which often is done only under the form of the Body
of Christ. Holy Mass ends with meditation, thanksgiving, a concluding prayer,
and a blessing by the priest. [1348-1355]
The Sanctus:
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. Latin: Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus
Sabaoth. Pleni
sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
