Gospel
Also known as: Gospel Proclamation, Gospel Reading
Proclamation, typically by the deacon, of the Gospel Reading assigned for the particular day.
At high masses, there is a Gospel Procession and the Gospel is proclaimed from the center of the nave.
During the Gospel Procession and Gospel Proclamation, servers not in the procession should stand at their places in the choir stalls, facing the Gospel Book. The acolyte holds the evangeliary during the Gospel proclamation, typically flanked by the candle bearers with their processional candles.
Then, all standing, the Deacon, or Priest, proclaims the Gospel, first singing or saying with hands joined:
The Lord be with you.
People: And with thy spirit.
A reading form the holy Gospel according to N.
At the same time, he makes the Sign of the Cross on the book and on his forehead, lips, and breast.
People: Glory be to thee, O Lord.
If incense is used, the Deacon, or the Priest, censes the book and proclaims the Gospel.
After the Gospel, the Deacon or Priest sings or says:
The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise be to thee, O Christ.
Then he kisses the book, saying quietly:
Through the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.
