(Mass) The liturgical recitation of the Pater Noster at Mass.
Returning to an ancient practice, the Lord's Prayer now includes
five parts: an invitation by the priest; the Pater Noster, sung
or said together with the people; the embolism, which amplifies
the last petition of the Lord's Prayer; the doxology; and
concluding acclamation by the faithful. All items in this
