After the priest say "This is the gospel of the lord" the congregation says "Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ"
Before the Gospel Proclamation:Deacon (or Priest): The Lord be with you. All: And also with you. Deacon (or Priest): A reading from the Holy Gospel according to... [Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John]All: Glory to you, Lord! After the Gospel Proclamation:Deacon (or Priest): The Gospel of the Lord. All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
The Priest says, "The Lord be with you" during the Introduction rite and the Concluding rite.
A common response to "The Gospel of the Lord" is "Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ."
Both can, deacon is still ordained just a lower rank so if both present appropriate for priest unless he defers
Roman Catholic AnswerThe priest doesn't just represent Our Blessed Lord, he is "another Christ", he presents Our Blessed Lord to whomever he is dealing with. In the sacraments, he doesn't say "may God absolve you" he says "I absolve you"; he doesn't say "this is Christ's Body" he says "This is MY Body". When he is functioning as a priest, he IS Christ.
No, the priest is an "alter Christus", "another Christ". When a man is ordained as a priest, he becomes more than the representative of Christ, Our Blessed Lord actually works through him. When the priest is consecrated the elements at Mass, he does not say, "this is Your Body", he says, "This is MY Body". He is speaking AS CHRIST. Similarly, during confession, he speaks as Christ, and says, "I forgive you your sins." We have Our Blessed Lord's guarantee that when the priest pronounces forgiveness, God is forgiving you.
You will find this Scripture in the "Parable of the Talents" in the Gospel of Matthew 25:21 & 25:23
Lord, I am not worthy to receive You; but only say the word and I shall be healed.
I believe only once in the Gospel according to St. John, where Our Lord Says, "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
A priest is the person in church who tells you about God and Jesus and what happened when they were around. He is the person who leads everyone in the congregation or group of people in prayer. He is pretty much the main person in charge. He also has different names like father, priest, or pastor. If he is the priest in a Catholic Church, he is unable to get married, have children or anything like that because he is technically wed to the Church, and has taken a vow of celibacy in order to imitate Our Blessed Lord more closely..Catholic AnswerA priest is persona Christi in the Church. He is "another Christ". He is the arms and legs, mouth and ears for Our Blessed Lord in the Church. Thus when the priest celebrates Mass, he says, "This is my Body" and when he forgives sins he says, "I forgive you...." He is the one in the Church who offers the sacrifice - that has been the definition of a priest since ancient times: one who offers sacrifice. Like Our Blessed Lord, he is offering himself in sacrifice.
Romans 1:16 says "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ..."
