The Priest invites the faithful to the Penitential Act:
Brethren (brothers and sisters),

and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries.
A brief pause for silence follows, and then one of the following Penitential Acts:
All recite together the formula of general confession:
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 absolution by the Priest follows:
May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.

V. Lord, have mercy.

The Homily
At the end of the Homily it is appropriate for there to be a brief silence for recollection.
The congregation then stands.
The Creed
On Sundays and Solemnities, the Profession of Faith will follow. On most occasions the form used is that of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed. However, especially during Lent and Easter Time, the Apostles’ Creed may be used.
The Nicene ("Niceno-Constantinopolitan") Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all 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 follow, 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 will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will 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.
The Prayer of the Faithful
(Bidding Prayers)
After each intention there is a pause while the faithful pray. The minister says:
Lord, hear us.
All reply:
Lord, graciously hear us.
The Priest concludes the Prayer with a collect.
When the Liturgy of the Word has been completed, the people sit.
The Liturgy of the Eucharist
The Offertory
When he has received the bread and wine for the celebration, the Priest offers prayer of blessing quietly at the altar. Sometimes these prayers are said aloud.
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for through your goodness we have received
the bread we offer you:
fruit of the earth and work of human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.
If the Priest says the prayers aloud the assembly’s acclamation is:
Blessed be God for ever.
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for through your goodness we have received
the wine we offer you:
fruit of the vine and work of human hands,
it will become our spiritual drink.
If the Priest says the prayers aloud the assembly’s acclamation is:
Blessed be God for ever.
The Priest completes additional personal preparatory rites, and he says:
Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),
that my sacrifice and yours
may be acceptable to God,
the almighty Father.
The people reply:
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.
THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
Extending his hands, the Priest says:
The Lord be with you.
The people reply:
And with your spirit.
The Priest, raising his hands, continues:
Lift up your hearts.
The people:
We lift them up to the Lord.
The Priest, with hands extended, adds:
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
The people:
It is right and just.
The Priest continues with the Preface.
He concludes the Preface with these or similar words
And so, with the Angels and all the Saints
we declare your glory,
as with one voice we acclaim:
The people reply by saying aloud:
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.
