OF THE

REVEREND MONSIGNOR

CARL ANTHONY DE LEON

24TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024

SAINT ROSE OF LIMA PARISH

LAGUNA
 THE INTRODUCTORY RITES

When the Bishop has arrived at the altar, after making a profound bow with the ministers, the
Bishop venerates the altar with a kiss and, if appropriate, incenses the cross and the altar. Then, with
the ministers, he goes to the chair. When the Entrance Chant is concluded, the Bishop and the
faithful, standing, sign themselves with the Sign of the Cross, while the Bishop, facing the people,
says:

I n the name of the Father,

And the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

The People Reply;

Amen.

Then the Bishop, extending his hands, greets the people, saying:

Peace be with you.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

The Archbishop, or a Deacon, or another minister, may very briefly introduce the faithful to the
Mass of the day.
PENITENTIAL ACT
Then follows the Penitential Act, to which the Archbishop invites the faithful saying:

Brethren (brothers and sisters), let us acknowledge our sins, and so

prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries.

Then Presider pauses for a short moment and now continues saying:

Please be Seated.

All those who are present are to sit down. An existing monsignor of the diocese then goes to
the ambo and says the following:

Petition for the investiture of Papal Chaplain Most Reverend Father, I

ask you to confer on our brother, Reverend Father Carl Anthony De
Leon, the honorary title of Papal Chaplain with the right to be
addressed as Monsignor.

After this has been said the Presider will now say:

Let the Papal bull be read.

SECRETARY OF STATE

The Supreme Pontiff Francis includes among his chaplains the Reverend
Father Carl Anthony De Leon, from the Diocese of San Pablo. The Reverend
Father is fittingly named as chaplain.

Given at the Minor Basilica and Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate

Conception, on the 4th Of September, in the year of our Lord 2024.

Signed, Archbishop Mathhew Fredrick Ranada.

All stand while the papal documents are read. Once the documents have been
read, all seated.

All those who are present are to sit down.

My brothers, I ask you to make the profession of faith, and the oath of
fidelity.

PROFESSION OF FAITH AND OATH OF FIDELITY

Those who are to be named monsignor will stand at the front, and, one after another, says the
following:

I, Reverend Father Carl Anthony De Leon with firm faith, believe and profess each
and everything that is contained in the symbol of faith, namely;

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all
things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the
Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true
God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him, all
things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from
heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became
man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death
and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the
Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the
Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his
kingdom will have no end.
 I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the
Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for
the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and
the life of the world to come. Amen.

With firm faith, I also believe in everything contained in the Word of God, whether
written or handed down in tradition, which the church, either by a solemn
judgement or by the ordinary and universal magisterium, sets forth to be believed as
divinely revealed.

I also firmly accept and hold each and everything definitively proposed by the church
regarding faith and morals. Moreover, I adhere with religious submission of the will
and intellect of the teachings which either the Roman Pontiff or the college of
Bishops enunciate when they exercise their authentic magisterium, even if they do
not intend to proclaim these teachings by a definitive act.

RENEWAL OF PRIESTLY PROMISSES

The bishop, holding his crozier while still being seated, says:

My dear brothers, in the presence of the people entrusted to your care, renew
your promises made at your ordination.

Are you resolved with the help of the Holy Spirit to discharge without fail
your office as trusted co-workers cooperating with the bishop in caring for
the Lord’s flock?

The Candidate Replies:

I am.
The bishop now continues:

Are you resolved to celebrate the mysteries of Christ faithfully and

religiously, as the church has handed them down to us for the glory of
God and the sanctification of Christ’s people?

The Candidate Replies:

I am.

The bishop now continues:

Are you resolved to exercise the ministry of the word worthily and with
wisdom, preaching the gospel and explaining the catholic faith?

The Candidate Replies:

I am.

The bishop now continues:

Are you resolved to unite yourself more closely every day to Christ the High Priest,
who offered himself for us to the Father as a perfect sacrifice, and to consecrate your
life to God for the salvation of his people?

The Candidate Replies:

I am.
BLESSING OF INSIGNIAS
All Stand. Then the bishop says the following,

We will now ask God’s blessings upon the insignias of honor as

monsignor.

Then he says the prayer of blessing:

lmighty and Eternal God, bless these symbols of honor

bestowed by Pope Francis. May those who use it receive the
reward of faithfulness and enter into eternal life with Christ
the Good Shepherd. Through Christ our Lord.

He sprinkles the insignias with Holy water. All seated. Then the bishop, wearing
the mitre, addresses the Monsignor-elect with these words:

My brother, I vest you with purple sash; that today you may
understand that you have been created chaplain, and that
moreover, you may use and enjoy the effect of grace bestowed
upon you by our Most Holy Father Pope Francis according to
what is more fully described in the apostolic letter sent to you.
Then the Bishop approaches the Monsignor-elect, vests him with the purple
fascia and biretta.

Once he is already vested with the biretta and fascia, the presiding bishop,
together with the concelebrating bishops and monsignors give the fraternal
kiss of peace to the new monsignor.
GLORIA
Then, when it is prescribed, the Gloria is sung or said:

Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to people of good will.

We praise you, we bless you, we adore you,

we glorify you,
We give you thanks for your great glory.
Lord God, heavenly King.
O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,

Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

you take away the sins of the world,

have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;

you are seated at the right hand of the Father,

have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

.
COLLECT
When this hymn is concluded, the Archbishop, with hands joined, says:

Let us pray.
And all pray in silence for a while.

ook upon us, O God,

Creator and ruler of all things,
and, that we may feel the working of your mercy,
grant that we may serve you with all our heart.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

The People Reply:

Amen.
 THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

Then the reader, goes to the ambo and reads the First Reading, Responsorial Psalm, and Second
Reading (If it is prescribed) while all sit and listen

FIRST READING Is 50:5-9a

A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah

he Lord GOD opens my ear that I may hear;

and I have not rebelled,
have not turned back.
I gave my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who plucked my beard;
my face I did not shield
from buffets and spitting.

The Lord GOD is my help,

therefore I am not disgraced;
I have set my face like flint,
knowing that I shall not be put to shame.
He is near who upholds my right;
if anyone wishes to oppose me,
let us appear together.
Who disputes my right?
Let that man confront me.
See, the Lord GOD is my help;
who will prove me wrong?

To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims:

The Word of the Lord.
The people reply:
Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

℟. I WILL WALK BEFORE THE LORD, IN THE LAND OF THE

LIVING.

I love the LORD because he has heard

my voice in supplication,

Because he has inclined his ear to me

the day I called.

℟. WITH DELIGHT I REJOICE IN THE LORD.

The cords of death encompassed me;

the snares of the netherworld seized upon me;

I fell into distress and sorrow,

and I called upon the name of the LORD,

“O LORD, save my life!”

℟. WITH DELIGHT I REJOICE IN THE LORD.

Gracious is the LORD and just;

yes, our God is merciful.

The LORD keeps the little ones;

I was brought low, and he saved me.

℟. WITH DELIGHT I REJOICE IN THE LORD.

For he has freed my soul from death,

my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

I shall walk before the Lord

in the land of the living.

℟. WITH DELIGHT I REJOICE IN THE LORD.

SECOND READING Jas 2:14-18

A reading from the Letter of Saint James

hat good is it, my brothers and sisters,

if someone says he has faith but does not have works?
Can that faith save him?
If a brother or sister has nothing to wear
and has no food for the day,
and one of you says to them,
“Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,”
but you do not give them the necessities of the body,
what good is it?
So also faith of itself,
if it does not have works, is dead.

Indeed someone might say,

“You have faith and I have works.”
Demonstrate your faith to me without works,
and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works..

To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims:

The Word of the Lord.

The people reply:

Thanks be to God.
ALLELUIA
There follows the Alleluia or another chant laid down by the rubrics, as the liturgical time requires

R. Alleluia, Alleluia

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you,
for the Spirit of God rests upon you.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia

Meanwhile, if incense is used, the Bishop puts some into the thurible. After this, the Deacon who is
to proclaim the Gospel, bowing profoundly before the Bishop, asks for the blessing, saying in a low
voice:

Your blessing, Father.

The Bishop says in a low voice:

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.

The Deacon signs himself with the Sign of the Cross and replies:

Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty God,

that I may worthily proclaim your holy Gospel.
GOSPEL

The Deacon, or the Bishop, then proceeds to the ambo, accompanied, if appropriate, by ministers
with incense and candles. There he says:

V. The Lord be with you.

R. And with your spirit.

V. ✠ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark

R. Glory to you, O Lord.
Then the Deacon, or the Bishop, incenses the book, if incense is used, and proclaims the Gospel

esus and his disciples set out

for the villages of Caesarea Philippi.
Along the way he asked his disciples,
“Who do people say that I am?”
They said in reply,
“John the Baptist, others Elijah,
still others one of the prophets.”
And he asked them,
“But who do you say that I am?”
Peter said to him in reply,
“You are the Christ.”
Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.

He began to teach them

that the Son of Man must suffer greatly
and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed, and rise after three days.
He spoke this openly.
Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples,
rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan.
You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.”
 He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them,
“Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake
and that of the gospel will save it.”

At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Bishop, acclaims:

The Gospel of the Lord.

The people reply:

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

The deacon brings the Book of the Gospels to the Archbishop. The Archbishop
kisses the book and blesses the people with it

HOMILY

Then follows the Homily, which is to be preached by the Bishop or Deacon on all Sundays and Holy
days of Obligation; on other days, it is recommended.

PROFESSION OF FAITH

After a brief pause, the presider together with the congregation will rise and the creed is now recited.
 THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

When all this has been done, the Offertory Chant begins. Meanwhile, the ministers place the
corporal, the purificator, the chalice, the pall, and the Missal on the altar. It is desirable that the
faithful express their participation by making an offering, bringing forward bread and wine for the
celebration of the Eucharist and perhaps other gifts to relieve the needs of the Church and of the
poor. The Bishop, standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and holds it slightly raised
above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:

lessed are you, Lord of all creation

for through your goodness we have received
the bread we offer you:
fruit of the earth and work of human hands
it will become for us the bread of life

Then he places the paten with the bread on the corporal.

If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Bishop may speak these words aloud; at the end,
the people may acclaim

Blessed be God for ever.

The Deacon, or the Bishop, pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying quietly:

By the mystery of this water and wine

may we come to share in the divinity of Christ
who humbled himself to share in our humanity.

The Bishop then takes the chalice and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying
in a low voice:

lessed are you, Lord of all creation

 for through your goodness we have received
the wine we offer you:
fruit of the vine and work of human hands
it will become for us our spiritual drink.

Then he places the chalice on the corporal. If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Bishop
may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:

Blessed be god For ever.

After this, the Bishop, bowing profoundly, says quietly:

With humble spirit and contrite heart

may we be accepted by you, O Lord,
and may our sacrifice in your sight this day
be pleasing to you, Lord God

If appropriate, he also incenses the offerings, the cross, and the altar. A Deacon or other minister then
incenses the Bishop and the people. Then the Bishop, standing at the side of the altar, washes his
hands, saying quietly:

Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity

and cleanse me from my sin.

Standing at the middle of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining his hands, he says:

Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),

that my sacrifice and yours
may be acceptable to God,
the Almighty Father
The People Rise and Reply:

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands

for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS

Then the Bishop, with hands extended, says the Prayer over the Offerings:

ook with favor on our supplications, O Lord,

and in your kindness accept these, your servants’ offerings,
that what each has offered to the honor of your name
may serve the salvation of all.
Through Christ our Lord.

The People Reply:

Amen.

PREFACE: PREFACE OF SUNDAYS IN ORDINARY

R. It is right and just.

t is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,

always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
through Christ our Lord..

For through his Paschal Mystery,

he accomplished the marvelous deed,
by which he has freed us from the yoke of sin and death,
summoning us to the glory of being now called
a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a people for your own possession,
to proclaim everywhere your mighty works,
for you have called us out of darkness
into your own wonderful light.

And so, with Angels and Archangels,

with Thrones and Dominions,
and with all the hosts and Powers of heaven,
we sing the hymn of your glory,
as without end we acclaim:

HOLY
At the end of the Preface he joins his hands and concludes the Preface with the people, singing or
saying aloud:

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts.

Heaven and earth are full of your glory, full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
EUCHARISTIC PRAYER III
The Priest, with hands extended, says:

You are indeed Holy, O Lord,

and all you have created rightly gives you praise,
for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,
by the power and working of the Holy Spirit,
you give life to all things and make them holy,
and you never cease to gather a people to yourself,
so that from the rising of the sun to its setting
a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.

He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:

Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you:

by the same Spirit graciously make holy
these gifts we have brought to you for consecration,

He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the Cross once over the bread and chalice together,
saying:

that they may become the Body and + Blood

of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,

He joins his hands.

at whose command we celebrate these mysteries.

In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and
distinctly, as the nature of these words requires.

For on the night he was betrayed

He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:

he himself took bread,

and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:

He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,

FOR THIS IS MY BODY,

WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.

He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in
adoration.

After this, he continues:

In a similar way, when supper was ended,

He takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:

he took the chalice,

and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:

He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,

THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY
 FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration.

Then he says:

The mystery of faith.

And the people continue, acclaiming:

We proclaim your Death, O Lord,

and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:

Therefore, O Lord,
as we celebrate the memorial
of the saving Passion of your Son,
his wondrous Resurrection
and Ascension into heaven,
and as we look forward to his second coming,
we offer you in thanksgiving
this holy and living sacrifice.

Look, we pray,
upon the oblation of your Church
and, recognizing the sacrificial Victim
by whose death you willed to reconcile us to yourself,
grant that we,
who are nourished by the Body and Blood of your Son and filled
with his Holy Spirit,
may become one body, one spirit in Christ.

One Concelebrant

May he make of us
an eternal offering to you,
so that we may obtain an inheritance with your elect,
especially with the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs
and with Saint Rose of Lima, Saint Paul, Saint Dominic all the
Saints,
on whose constant intercession in your presence
we rely for unfailing help.
One Concelebrant

May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation,

we pray, O Lord,
advance the peace and salvation of all the world.
Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity
your pilgrim Church on earth,
with your servant Francis our Pope
and Mylo Hubert our administrator, Mardeo our Bishop on this
platform
the Order of Bishops, all the clergy,
and the entire people you have gained for your own.

Listen graciously to the prayers of this family,

whom you have summoned before you:
 in your compassion, O merciful Father,
gather to yourself all your children
scattered throughout the world.

One Concelebrant

† To our departed brothers and sisters

and to all who were pleasing to you
at their passing from this life,
give kind admittance to your kingdom.
There we hope to enjoy for ever
the fullness of your glory

He joins his hands.

through Christ our Lord,

through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.

He takes the chalice and the paten with the host and, raising both, he says:

Through him, and with him, and in him,

O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours,
for ever and ever.

The people acclaim:

Amen.
COMMUNION RITE

After the chalice and paten have been set down, the Bishop, with hands joined, says:

At the Savior’s command

and formed by divine teaching,
we dare to say:

He extends his hands and, together with the people, continues:

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us, deliver us from evil.

He extends his hands and, together with the people, continues:

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,

graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

He joins his hands.

The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming:

For the kingdom,

the power and the glory are Yours
now and for ever.

SIGN OF PEACE
Then the Bishop, with hands extended, says aloud:

Lord Jesus Christ,

who said to your Apostles:
Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,
look not on our sins,
but on the faith of your Church,
and graciously grant her peace and unity
in accordance with your will.

He joins his hands.

Who live and reign forever and ever.

The people reply:

Amen.

The Priest, turned towards the people, extending and then joining his hands, adds:

The peace of the Lord be with you always.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Priest, adds:

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

And all offer one another a sign, in keeping with local customs, that expresses peace,
communion, and charity. The Bishop gives the sign of peace to a Deacon or minister. Then
he takes the host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in the chalice, saying
quietly

May this mingling of the Body and Blood

of our Lord Jesus Christ

bring eternal life to us who receive it

BREAKING OF THE BREAD

Meanwhile the following is sung or said:

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,

have mercy, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
 have mercy, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
grant us peace, grant us peace.

The invocation may even be repeated several times if the fraction is prolonged. Only the final time,
however, is grant us peace said.

PRIVATE PREPARATION

Then the Bishop, with hands joined, says quietly:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,

who, by the will of the Father

and the work of the Holy Spirit,

through your Death gave life to the world,

free me by this, your most holy Body and Blood,

from all my sins and from every evil; keep me always faithful
to

your commandments, and never let me be parted from you.

Or:

May the receiving of your Body and Blood,

Lord Jesus Christ,

not bring me to judgment and condemnation,

 but through your loving mercy

be for me protection in mind

and body and a healing remedy.

COMMUNION

The Bishop genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten or above the
chalice, while facing the people, says aloud:

Behold the Lamb of God,

behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

And together with the people he adds once

Lord, I am not worthy

that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.
The Bishop, facing the altar, says quietly:

May the Body of Christ

keep me safe for eternal life.

And he reverently consumes the Body of Christ.

Then he takes the chalice and says quietly

May the Blood of Christ

 keep me safe for eternal life
And he reverently consumes the Blood of Christ. After this, he takes the paten or ciborium and
approaches the communicants. The Bishop raises a host slightly and shows it to each of the
communicants, saying:

The Body of Christ.

The communicant replies:

Amen.

And receives Holy Communion. If a Deacon also distributes Holy Communion, he does so in the
same manner. If any are present who are to receive Holy Communion under both kinds, the rite
described in the proper place is to be followed. While the Bishop is receiving the Body of Christ, the
Communion Chant begins. When the distribution of Communion is over, the Bishop or a Deacon
or an acolyte purifies the paten over the chalice and also the chalice itself. While he carries out the
purification, the Bishop says quietly:

What has passed our lips as food, O Lord,

may we possess in purity of heart,
that what has been given to us in time
may be our healing for eternity.

Then the Bishop may return to the chair. If appropriate, a sacred silence may be observed for a while,
or a psalm or other canticle of praise or a hymn may be sung
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION

Then, standing at the altar or at the chair and facing the people, with hands joined, the Bishop says:

Let us pray

All pray in silence with the Bishop for a while, unless silence has just been observed. Then the
Bishop, with hands extended, says the Prayer after Communion, at the end of which the people
acclaim:

ay the working of this heavenly gift, O Lord, we pray,

take possession of our minds and bodies,
so that its effects, and not our own desires,
may always prevail in us.
Through Christ our Lord.

The People Reply:

Amen.
 CONCLUDING RITES

If they are necessary, any brief announcements to the people follow here. Then the dismissal takes place.
The Priest, facing the people and extending his hands, says:

℣: The Lord be with you.

℟: And with your Spirit

Presider will now continue:

And may the blessing of almighty God,

the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

The People Reply:

Amen.

DISSMISAL
Then the Deacon, or the Bishop himself, with hands joined and facing the people, says:

The mass has ended go in Peace!

The people reply:

Thanks be to God!

Then the Priest venerates the altar as usual with a kiss, as at the beginning. After making a profound
bow with the ministers, he withdraws. If any liturgical action follows immediately, the rites of
dismissal are omitted.
