the gospel side. Switch off any other lights if this is not done by a sacristan.
Now say your GUILD PRAYERS AFTER SERVING (and make your thanksgiving) either before unvesting, or on your way out through the church (P.7.)
NOTE A.
KISSING THE PRIEST'S HAND.
In this matter perform or omit kissing the priest's hand as you are taught to do.
When receiving the biretta, kiss first the priest's hand, then the biretta. When returning it, kiss first the biretta, secondly the priest's hand.
In REQUIEM MASSES all kissing is omitted.
NOTE B.
GENUFLECTING.
Genuflect on ONE KNEE
1. on entering or leaving the sanctuary, even if the priest only bows.
2. whenever you pass from one side to the other.
Genuflect on BOTH KNEES
1. when you pass an altar where Holy Communion is being given,
2. on entering or leaving the sanctuary while Communion is being distributed, or the Blessed Sacrament is exposed.
3. REMAIN KNEELING if you pass an altar during the Elevation.
