The Decalogue may be rehearsed, from time to time, in place of the Summary of the Law and the Kyrie.  Turning to the People, the Priest or Deacon shall rehearse distinctly the Ten Commandments; and the People, kneeling or standing (according to custom) shall answer, asking God's mercy.

God spake these words, and said:
