The prayers for mass are in the missal at the church. Go to your local parish church and ask for a missal. The prayers that the priest says aloud are printed in the missal. If you have never been to mass then it will take you a little while to figure out the order - it's by date. There is an opening prayer, by date, then the readings from scripture which is followed by a teaching (called a Homily). Then the prayers of intercession which are prepared weekly & often followed by a spontaneous prayer or, this year, we recite the prayer of St. Paul as the closing to the prayers of intercession. The prayers for Eucharist are all in the missal and the Communion prayer and closing are, again, by date. You don't have to be Catholic to go and ask for a missal - you can even ask for last season's book before they're put in the recycling bin. Hope this helps!

When you say mass is up to you. As long as you say your mass prayers, that's all that matters. The church is flexible with mass.
The prayers that the priest prays during a liturgical service are typically found in the missal, a book that contains the texts for the Mass and other sacraments. These prayers include the Eucharistic Prayer, the prayers of the faithful, and various collects and blessings. Additionally, specific prayers may be included in liturgical books relevant to particular seasons, feasts, or occasions. Overall, these texts guide the priest in leading the congregation in worship and supplication.
Incense symbolizes prayers. As the sweet smelling smoke spreads and rises into Heaven likewise our prayers do as well
after the gospel reading and the homily.
A missal is typically used by Roman Catholic priests or lay people during Mass to follow along with the prayers and readings. It contains the order of the Mass and the prayers for each day of the liturgical year.
The bidding prayers, also known as the universal prayers or prayers of the faithful, are said during the Mass after the homily. This part of the liturgy allows the congregation to offer intentions for the Church, the world, the community, and those in need. It typically follows the Creed and is led by a deacon or layperson, inviting the faithful to respond with "Lord, hear our prayer" or a similar response.
Prayers are said at Mass to offer worship, thanksgiving, petition, and praise to God. They help to unite the community in faith, express shared beliefs, and seek spiritual guidance and strength. The prayers also serve to reflect on the teachings of the Church and convey intentions for the Church and the world.
