The only "part" of the Mass omitted during Lent is the Gloria, a prayer normally used after the penitential rite near the the beginning of the Mass. This is the prayer that begins "Glory to God in the highest..."

The other thing different about Mass in Lent is the suppression of the word "Alleluia". This one word is used (sometimes repeated 2 or 3 times) just prior to the proclamation of the Gospel.

Hymns are sometimes used at Mass (though these are not technically part of the Mass). If a hymn contains the word "Alleluia" it is also not used during Lent.

If you lend someone You Don't Know your phone and they order food and they collect it and leave without paying. is the person who lent the phone legally have anything to do with it?

No. One supposes that if there is more to this than you are saying, that some prosecutor could try to whip up an "accomplice" charge, however that is a staggering stretch - even if you were!

At some point, you may get a call by someone investigating the crime. If so, simply tell your side honestly and be done with it. I usually do not recommend doing so without an attorney - and frankly, I suppose you should still consult with one - but this seems small.

(And don't lend your phone out to strangers!)
