Order of Mass is an outline of a Mass celebration, describing how and in what order liturgical texts and rituals are employed to constitute a Mass. The expression Order of Mass is particularly tied to the Roman Rite where the sections appearing under that title in the Roman Missal also contain a set of liturgical texts that recur in most or in all Eucharistic liturgies (the so-called invariable texts, or ''ordinary'' of the Mass), while the rubrics indicate the rituals, and the insertion points of the variable texts known as the proper of the Mass. Having been virtually unchanged for many centuries, the Roman Catholic Order of Mass changed decisively after the Second Vatican Council. Other Christian denominations have comparable descriptions of their liturgical practices for the Eucharist, which are however usually not called Order of Mass. ==Sections of the Order of Mass== The Order of Mass in Western liturgy generally consists of the following sections: # The Prayers at the Foot of the Altar or the Penitential Rite. # Kyrie eleison ("Lord, have mercy"). # Gloria ("Glory to God in the highest"). # The prayers said in connection with the scripture readings. # Credo ("I believe in one God"), the Nicene Creed. # The Offertory prayers. # The Canon of the Mass, or Eucharistic Prayer, with its opening dialogue and its Preface, the latter of which, in spite of being variable, is included in the ordinary. # (Included in the preceding:) Sanctus ("Holy, Holy, Holy"), the second part of which, beginning with the word "Benedictus" ("Blessed is he"), was often sung separately after the consecration, if the setting was long. # The Lord's Prayer and the following prayers until the distribution of Holy Communion # (Included in the preceding:) Agnus Dei ("Lamb of God"). # The prayer said at the cleansing of the chalice, and the concluding prayers, which in the Tridentine Mass included the reading of what was called the Last Gospel (usually, the first fourteen verses of Saint John's Gospel) as a farewell blessing. # (Included in the preceding:) The phrase ''Ite, missa est'' "Go, it is the dismissal" (referring to the congregation) is the final part of the Order of Mass. In the Tridentine Mass, it was followed by a private prayer that the priest said silently for himself, by the final blessing, and by the reading of the Last Gospel (usually John 1:1-14), and in some Masses it was replaced by ''Benedicamus Domino'' or ''Requiescant in pace''. These phrases are sung to music given in the Missal, as is the choir's response, ''Deo gratias'' or (after ''Requiescant in pace'') ''Amen''. In the Episcopal Church's ''Book of Common Prayer'', the service ends with the celebrant saying, "Go in peace to love and serve the Lord." To which the congregation responds, "Thanks be to God." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Order of Mass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
