I'm curious DHK you say you were Catholic for 20 years and you left because the Catholic Church
Strange I remember last Sunday and it kind of when like this. Every one showed up and the priest (presbyter) said
Now that was my experience last Sunday and about every Sunday with different readings. With all those scriptures read and expounded on how did you miss the gospel?
HmmmThey don't preach the gospel
Strange I remember last Sunday and it kind of when like this. Every one showed up and the priest (presbyter) said
to which everyone repliedIn the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit
Then the priest (Presbyter) saidAmen.
then he saidThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit
be with you all.
to which everyone repliedThe Lord be with you.
then everyone sangAnd with your spirit
Then the Priest (presbyter) saidKyrie, eleison. Christe, eleison. Kyrie, eleison
to which everyone repliedMay almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life
And then some one got up (a lector) and read 1 Sam 3:3b-10, 19 after that we read from the psalms one person will read a section and the congregants will reply a psalm refrain then the Lector gets up again and reads 1 Cor 6:13c-15a, 17-20. After he's done reading this, he gets down and the priest holds up a gold covered book containing the four gospels and lifts it above his head so everyone can see and the people sing Allelluia. The priest then praysAmen
after which he reads Jn 1:35-42. When he is done he places the Golden book of Gospels down and teaches on the meaning of the passages.May the Lord be in your heart and on your lips,
that you may proclaim his Gospel worthily and well,
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
