The Catholic Mass is a beautiful and sacred ceremony, celebrated by millions of people around the world. It includes a series of prayers and rituals that are often said in Latin or Spanish. If you are attending a Spanish-speaking Mass or would like to participate in a Spanish Mass, it is helpful to know how to properly pronounce the parts of the Mass in Spanish.

The “Ordinary” parts of the Mass are said each time the Mass is celebrated. They include the Introductory Rites, the Liturgy of the Word, the Liturgy of the Eucharist, and the Closing Rite. The Introductory Rites consist of the Sign of the Cross, the Greeting, the Penitential Rite, the Gloria, and the Opening Prayer. Knowing the Spanish names for these parts can help make the Mass more meaningful and easier to follow in Spanish.The Sign of the Cross is the same in Spanish and English: en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. (In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.)The Greeting (also known as the Collect) is the first prayer said in the Mass. In Spanish, it is known as “La salutación”. The Penitential Rite involves a confession of sins to help prepare for the Mass. The phrase used in Spanish is “Confesemos nuestros pecados” (Let us confess our sins).The Gloria is a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God.
