Liturgical Catechesis: The Parts of the Mass | Issue 3 / 40

The gathering, opening, or entrance song for our Mass or eucharistic liturgy is one of the most important elements of its introductory rites.

This song gives all individuals present the opportunity to join voices and begin the essential process of becoming a single worshiping assembly.

It also sets the celebration's tone. By reflecting the readings of the day or sense of the season, the gathering song puts the assembly into an appropriate frame of mind for the specific liturgy it is about to celebrate.

Catequesis Litúrgica: Las partes de la Misa | Edición 3 / 40

El canto de reunión, apertura o entrada de nuestra Misa o liturgia eucarística es uno de los elementos más importantes de sus ritos introductorios.

Este canto da a todos los presentes la oportunidad de unir sus voces y comenzar el proceso esencial de convertirse en una única asamblea de adoración.

También marca el tono de la celebración. Al reflejar las lecturas del día o el sentido de la estación, el canto del encuentro pone a la asamblea en un estado de ánimo apropiado para la liturgia específica que se va a celebrar.
