DIVINE MERCY PARISH
386 Hancock Street • Quincy, MA 02171
GATHERING RITE
The Gathering Rite is intended to bring us in from our individual lives and form us into one worshipping community, part of the One Body of the Lord.
LITURGY OF THE WORD
The Liturgy of the Word breaks open the Sacred Scriptures through proclamation and reflection. The Rite of Marriage is an element of this liturgy.
LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST
The Liturgy of the Eucharist breaks open the Body of Christ through sacramental action. At this time, we do as Jesus commanded as we take, bless, break and share the bread and wine, consecrated into His Body and Blood.
If you wish a "soloist" song, the time during the Preparation of the Gifts is the only appropriate moment for such during Mass. Otherwise, a song sung by the entire assembly is appropriate.
Concluding Rite
The Concluding Rite is short and straight-forward. It consists of the final blessing over the entire assembly and the dismissal to go into the world to continue the work of the Lord.
