Readings.

The liturgy is a celebration not of what God has said, but of God today speaking to our hearts and souls.

The First Reading: -The Hebrew Scriptures: The first reading is mostly chosen from the Old Testament and during some seasons the Book of Acts might be read. This reading usually harmonizes with the Gospel reading.

The Responsorial Psalm: The Psalm reflects themes in the readings. The Psalm consists of an antiphon.

The Second Reading – The Christian Scriptures: This reading is also referred to as the Epistle and is usually from one of the letters in the New Testament which may also include the Book of Acts or the Book of Revelations.

The Gospel acclamation – Alleluia: “Alleluia” is a Latin echo of the Hebrew acclamation “Praise God!” and is a key word in Christian worship. Here it heralds the Gospel.

The Gospel Reading: The Gospel is the climax of the liturgy of the word. Catholic faith teaches that in proclaiming the Gospel, Christ is truly present to the community.
