The procession must like be a triumphant
Christian Parade if it is neatly arranged.
2. Look straight ahead, do not get distracted by
anyone outside the procession.
3. Move at the steady pace, neither to past
or too slow.
TURNING:
- When walking alone, always turn towards the person
or things of greater dignity, e.g. the Blessed Sacrament,
altar, bishop or the celebrant. In case of conflict of dignity,
decide in favor of the nearer. E., turn toward it and away
from the bishop or the celebrant at the throne, turn
toward the bishop and away from the altar.
- When walking with one another, ordinarily turn toward the
person with whom you are walking.
KNEELING:
- Servers should know how to kneel without the help of the
bench, kneeling dest or seat in front of them. When you
kneel practice so that you never have to put your hand on
the ground to steady yourself. Learn to lower your body with
dignity , first bringing your right knee to the ground, then
your left knee. When kneeling do not forget to keep you
hands joined as you would when standing.
Page 11
GENUFLECTION:
- Genuflection (bringing the right knee to the ground)
is a special sign of homage paid only to God.
It is directed primarily to our Lord Jesus Christ ever
present in the Blessed Sacrament, either exposed or
in the Tabernacle, and for the Holy Cross in the
Solemn Adoration during the Liturgical
action of Good Friday.
To genuflect:
1. Keep your hands joined correctly as you move, head erect.
2. When you reach the spot where you are to genuflect, stop,
and bring your feet together, so that your genuflection is
going to be a separate act from your movements forward,
and act of faith. You may have to wait anyway, if there is
team of servers and clergy forming up before the altar.
3. Look straight ahead, body straight and do not bow your
head or bend your body. You knee makes your act of
adoration.
4. Now move your right foot back, as you bend your left leg
and bring your right knee to the floor. just level with the in

up without any rush, and move to whenever you are going.
BOWS:
- There are two bows in the Liturgy:
Bow of the head and Bow of the body.
1. Bow of the head- you bow your head without any hurry and never
too deeply, as a sign of respect when receiving any object, for
example a cruet, from the priest. You bow to a bishop whenever
your duties require you to approach him or leave him in any
celebration. You bow at the name of the Lord or the Trinity during
any text which you recite, for example in the Creed and Gloria,
the Blessed Virgin Mary and the name of the Saint when the Mass
or Office is celebrated on his honor.
2. Bow of the Body- you bow from the waist without any hurry, hands
joined when you reverence the altar itself, the tabernacle with the
Blessed Sacrament is not immediately behind and close to the Altar.
In such sanctuary, You make the same bow whenever you pass the
Altar during serving duties. In the Creed, you bow at the words,
the Bishop.
MOVEMENT
IN THE SANCTUARY:
- Always move in the sensible speed, neither too past
or too slow, moving in pairs or in groups, always move
together as a team, if you have both have to turn
around together to move in the opposite direction,
turn in towards one another, e.g. when two servers
turn way after offering wine and water to the presider.
1. When you bring the wine and water to the priest do not
approach while he is offering the bread but come to the
or when the prayer said quietly, as the priest place the
paten on the Altar.
ntil he has
finished the prayer for the offering of the wine, and place
the chalice on the altar.
3. At the end of Holy Communion, be prepared to wash the
hands of the presider (and concelebrants) and take the
water to the Altar for the cleansing of the Chalice once the
presider is ready.
4. Never move at the time of the consecration, unless it is
necessary and urgent. There are emergencies and then
you must use your common sense.
BOOKS:
- If you carry the sacred book, for example the
Sacramentary, do so reverently. When

LITURGICAL VESSELS (Sacred Vessels):

A NEW MEMBERS MANUAL 1ST EDITION BY SIR KNIGHT ANDREW MUNGCAL
LITUGICAL VESTMENTS (Sacred Vestments):
CASSOCK: the close-fitting ankle length garments worn by the clergy and by
laymen during liturgical services.
ALB:The alb is the long white, robe-like vestment worn by all clerics at liturgical
celebrations (celebrant, concelebrant, deacon, or acolyte). The alb (from
Latin word alba, meaning "white") can be traced to the ancient Roman alb
worn under a cloak or tunic; its color symbolizes purity that should adorn the
soul of the priest who ascend the altar.
CHUSABLE: the outer priestly vestment, which symbolizes the virtue of charity
and the yoke of unselfish service for the Lord.
COPE: the vestment worn around the shoulders and over the hands by the
priest holding the monstrance.
STOLE: the long scarf placed about the neck of the priest, which symbolizes
priestly service and immortality of the soul.
SURPLICE: Is a knee-length, white vestment worn over the cassock, but by the
priests, deacons, and seminarians rather than bishops. It is typically simple in
design, but can be very fancy. The sleeve of a surplice is fuller, and often bell-
shaped. Also called as Cotta
HUMIRAL VEIL: Is worn so as to cover the back and shoulders (where it gets its
name) and its two ends hang down in front. To prevent its falling from the
shoulders, it is fastened across the chest with the clasps or ribbons attached
to the border.The humeral veil is worn by the priest or deacon in processions
of the Blessed Sacrament, in giving benediction, in carrying the Host to its
repository on Holy Thursday, and bringing it back to the altar on Good Friday.
CINCTURE/ SASH: The cincture and sash ties the alb or cassock at the waist.
And symbolizes of Chastity.
DALMATIC: this vestment worn by the deacon in the Eucharistic Liturgy
Instead of a chasuble like a priest wears; the deacon wears the sleeved
dalmatic, also matching the liturgical color, over his alb and stole. Bishops
also wear a dalmatic at major solemn feasts and ordinations. It symbolizes
charity, justice, and the sufferings of Christ.
ZUCCHETTO/SKULL CAP:The zucchetto is the silk yarmulka-like skullcap worn by
bishops. The Pope's zucchetto is white; the cardinals' zucchetti are scarlet; the
bishops' zucchetti are violet. Priests may use a black cloth zucchetto for
everyday wear, but not during the liturgy.
MITER : The mitre imitates the Old Testament priestly head covering and is the
headdress of bishops, worn at liturgical functions. It is either precious, golden
(orphreyed), or simple (simplex). The precious mitre is worn by celebrants, the
simple by concelebrants, and the golden by the celebrant at an ordination.
All cardinals wear a damasked mitre (simplex) in presence of the Pope. It is
very tall and made of layered white damask silk.
PALLIUM: The pallium is worn only by archbishops (in their own dioceses),
patriarchs, and the Pope, as symbol of their authority. It's a band of white
wool adorned with 6 small black crosses, worn around the neck with
extensions front and back, and pinned to the chasuble in three places about
the neck. The non-silk part of the pallium is made of white wool, part of which
is supplied by two lambs presented annually by the Lateran Canons Regular
on the feast of St. Agnes (21 January). The lambs are solemnly blessed on the
high altar of that church after the Pontifical Mass, and then offered to the
pope, who sends palliums made of their wool to the archbishops.
BIRETTA:The biretta is a tri-cornered or square-shaped hat with silk trim, tuft
(except for the birette of seminarians and cardinals) and three raised wings,
PROPERTY OF THE OUR LADY OF VICTORIES PARISH KNIGHTS OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
A NEW MEMBERS MANUAL 1ST EDITION BY SIR KNIGHT ANDREW MUNGCAL
called "horns," on top at three corners (the side of the hat without the horn is
worn on the left side of the head). It is made of scarlet silk for cardinals, violet
silk for bishops and black merlino for priests, deacons, and seminarians.
PECTORAL CROSS: The pectoral cross is a cross, usually about 6 inches in
height, worn around the neck of a bishop and suspended by either cord (in
liturgical vestments or choir) or chain (in abito piano). The cord is scarlet and
gold for a cardinal; green and gold for a bishop. The pectoral cross is worn on
the chest of prelates so as to keep the Cross close to their hearts.
CROZIER/EPISCOPAL STAFF: The crozier is the shepherd's staff used by bishops.
The crozier has always been in the Church a symbol of the bishop's pastoral
role. In the very early Church, it was made of wood, but in the early Middle
Ages metal (silver and gold, depending on rank) was used instead. Wooden
croziers again began to be used during the time of Vatican II and are
common today.
EPISCOPAL RING: When a Bishop is consecrated as Bishop, he receives a ring
representing his office (Cardinals receive their own special ring, also). The
Pope's ring, known as the "Fisherman's Ring," is the personal and unique seal
of that reigning Pontiff and is (or at least used to be) destroyed on his death.
PAPAL SHOES: Are the red leather outdoor shoes worn by the Pope. These are
the liturgical footwear proper to all Latin Rite bishops.
The indoor papal slippers were made of red velvet or silk and were heavily
decorated in gold braid with a gold cross in the middle.
The color of the Episcopal sandals varied to match the liturgical color of the
mass.
LITURGICAL BOOKS:
ROMAN MISSAL(SACRAMENTARY): The book containing all the prayers and
rites used by the priest during the Mass. The Missal kept on the Altar.
LECTIONARY: the book that contains all the readings used during the Mass.
First Reading, Responsorial Psalm, and Second Reading are ready by lay
people; while the Gospel is reserved for the priest of the deacon. The
Lectionary is kept on the Ambo.
BOOK OF THE GOSPELS:
only the readings of Gospel, which is brought in procession and placed on
the altar. After the Alleluia, it is brought to the Ambo for the proclamation of
the Gospel.
PRAYERS:
Our Father in heaven
Holy be your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done, on earth as
It is in heaven,
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive
Those who sin against us
Do not bring us to the test
But deliver us from evil Amen.

the Lord Jesus Christ instructed His church to offer the seven

everywhere and make them my disciples; baptize them in the name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey
everything I have commanded you."

The Sacrament of Healing:
Penance/Reconciliation: Many of us regret things we have done or fail to do,
words we have said or thoughts we have harbored, things we are too
embarrassed or ashamed to admit.
Sometimes these hidden secrets take on much more importance than they
deserve, simply because we keep them bottled up and are unable to speak
about them. The Sacrament of Reconciliation gives us the opportunity to
express our sorrow for things we have done wrong,
To heal broken relationships, to forgive ourselves and others, and to open up
the channels of communication between ourselves and God.
Anointing of the Sick: "Are any among you sick? Let them call for the elders of
the Church to pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the
Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick ones, and the Lord will raise
them up; and if they have committed any sins, they will be forgiven." (James
5:14-15)
Part of Jesus' ministry was to heal the sick, and He went about curing those
who were ill or disabled, showing that suffering and death have no place in
the Kingdom of God. By His sacrifice of Himself,
He took hold of suffering and death and eliminated their power to separate
us from each other or from God. Our faith tells us that, indeed, God suffers
with us.
Through Jesus' suffering and death, God joins His suffering to the suffering of
human beings. And by doing this, He transforms and gives it a new meaning.
The Sacrament of Vocation:
Holy Orders: As people of God, we all share in the priesthood of Christ, and so
the Church speaks meaningfully of "the priesthood of all believers."
Each of us is to exercise our priesthood by strengthening and serving one
another. Within the Church there are many means of service.
One way of service stands out as a sacrament, namely Holy Orders, which
ordain the recipient to the office of bishop, priest or deacon.
Holy Matrimony: All love comes from God, and all love reflects the love that
God has for His creation. The Sacrament of Marriage is, first and foremost, a
sign and symbol of this love.
Marriage is a sacrament of the self-giving love which two people offer to
each other. The love which couples have for each other mirrors the love God
has for men and women.

The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah told us the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: Is 11:2
upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the
They are: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. These
seven gifts, part of sanctifying grace, complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them.
They make us docile in obeying divine inspirations without need for reflection but always with full
consent.
WISDOM: it is the capacity to love spiritual things more than material ones;
UNDERSTANDING: in understanding, we comprehend how we need to live as
followers of Christ.
COUNSEL: with the gift of counsel/right judgment, we know the difference
between right and wrong, and we choose to do what is right.
FORTITUDE: with the gift of fortitude/courage, we overcome our fear and are
willing to take risks as a follower of Jesus Christ.
KNOWLEDGE: with the gift of knowledge, we understand the meaning of
God.
PIETY: with the gift of reverence, sometimes called piety, we have a deep
sense of respect for God and the Church.
FEAR OF THE LORD: with the gift of fear of the Lord we are aware of the glory
and majesty of God.
Thomas Aquinas asserts the following correspondences between the seven Capital Virtues and the
seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit:
The gift of wisdom corresponds to the virtue of charity.
The gifts of understanding and knowledge correspond to the virtue of faith.
The gift of counsel (right judgment) corresponds to the virtue of prudence.
The gift of fortitude corresponds to the virtue of courage.
The gift of fear of the Lord corresponds to the virtue of hope.
The gift of Reverence corresponds to the virtue of justice.
APPENDIX:
What is the Transubstantiation?
The Transubstantiation is the sacrament act by which the substance of the
Bread and Wine is changed into the substance of the Body and Blood of
Christ. This happens during Consecration, which is the re-enactment of the
sacrament performed by Jesus during the Last Supper. In the
Transubstantiation, the accidents of the Bread and Wine remain unchanged,
such as the color, shape, and weight; but the substance becomes that Body
and Blood of Christ. This great miracle, which happens in every Mass, cannot
be rationally demonstrated, but it is accepted by faith. As Jesus said to the
Jews who doubted the real presence of Jesus in the Consecrated species;

How to make a Sign of the Cross?

The priest and the people make Sign of the Cross in this way: they place their
left hand on their chest, holding the palm of the right hand turned toward
themselves, with all the fingers joined and held straight, they make the Sign of
the Cross by moving their hand from forehead to the chest and from left to
right.

What is the meaning of the Sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and heart during Gospel reading?
We make the Sign of the Cross during Gospel on The FOREHEAD to signify our
desire to meditate the Gospel in our mind; the sign on the LIPS our
commitment to preach it throughout out the world; and on the HEART, our
pledge to treasure it with love.
