In every entrance procession, the crucifix leads the way, inviting all to follow him to the altar of sacrifice and resurrection. The candles are not decorations. Their flames symbolize the Light of the World, accompanying us as we come as ourselves. Those who process in (altar servers, deacon, and presider) do so on behalf of the whole assembly, because the liturgy is always the action of the whole Church. Try to imagine yourself as part of that procession — walking toward the Lord who waits to embrace you. ![]()

During the entrance procession, the Book of the Gospel is carried high with dignity and reverence. This is not just any book. Every word IS Christ. As John 1:1 states: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." When the deacon or lector carries the Book of the Gospel in procession, they carry Christ Himself. Watch for this beautiful moment next time you are at Mass!![]()
