Question of the Week

During the Mass, should we be bowing after the Gospel is read and the readings are placed back on the stand, and should we be bowing when the Eucharist reenters the tabernacle?

Whether a priest or deacon proclaims the Gospel, he kisses the book at the conclusion of the reading. This is not a bow but a kiss. The people in the congregation are obviously not able to do this. The deacon or priest bows when the Book of the Gospels has been placed on its “throne.” The rubrics do not require a bow at this time but it is customary. The priest normally bows with the deacon when it is a deacon who is placing the book in its place. If people in the congregation wish to follow suit, they may do so but it is not a formal part of the ritual for Mass….Read more
