The Introductory Rites
The door of the church to be dedicated should be closed. At a convenient hour the people
assemble in a neighboring church or other suitable place from which the procession may proceed
to the church. The relics of the martyrs or saints, if they are to be placed beneath the altar, are
prepared in the place where the people assemble.
The Patriarch, the concelebrating priests, the deacons, and ministers, each in appropriate
vestments, proceed to the place where the people are assembled. Putting aside the pastoral staff
and miter, the Patriarch greets the people, saying:
The grace and peace of God
Be with all of you
In his holy Church.
The people reply:
And with your spirit.
Then the Patriarch addresses the people in these or similar words:
Brothers and sisters in Christ, this is a day of rejoicing: we have come
together to dedicate this church by offering within it the sacrifice of Christ.
May we open our hearts and minds to receive his word with faith; may
our fellowship born in the one font of baptism and sustained at the one table
of the Lord, become the one temple of his Spirit, as we gather round his altar
in love.
When he has finished addressing the people, the Patriarch receives the miter and pastoral
staff and the procession to the church to be dedicated begins. No lights are used apart from
those which surround the relics of the saints, nor is incense used either in the procession or
in the Mass before the rite of the incensation and the lighting of the altar and the church. The
crossbearer leads the procession; the ministers follow; then the deacons or priests with the relics
of the saints, ministers, or the faithful accompanying them on either side with lighted torches;

then the concelebrating priests; then the Patriarch with two deacons; and lastly, the congregation.

And all pray in silence with the Patriarch for a moment.

Ezra read plainly from the book of the law of God, interpreting it
Amen.
Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, which consisted of
men, women, and those children old enough to understand. Standing at one
end of the open place that was before the Water Gate, he read out of the book
from daybreak till midday, in the presence of the men, the women, and those
children old enough to understand; and all the people listened attentively to
the book of the law. Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform that had been
made for the occasion. He opened the scroll so that all the people might see
it (for he was standing higher up than any of the people); and, as he opened
it, all the people rose.
Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God, and all the people, their hands
raised high, answered, Amen, amen! Then they bowed down and prostrated
themselves before the Lord, their faces to the ground. Ezra read plainly from
the book of the law of God, interpreting it so that all could understand what
was read.
Then Nehemiah, that is, His Excellency, and Ezra the priest scribe and the
Levites who were instructing the people said to all the people: Today is holy
to the Lord your God. Do not be sad, and do not weep for all the people were
weeping as they heard the words of the law.
He said further: Go, eat rich foods and drink sweet drinks, and allot
portions to those who had nothing prepared; for today is holy to our Lord.

At the beginning of the new millennium, and at the close of the Great
Jubilee during which we celebrated the two thousandth anniversary of the
birth of Jesus and a new stage of the Church's journey begins, our hearts ring
out with the words of Jesus when one day, after speaking to the crowds from
Simon’s boat, he invited the Apostle to put out into the deep for a catch: Duc
in altum (Lk 5:4). Peter and his first companions trusted Christ’s words, and
cast the nets. When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish
(Lk 5:6).
Duc in altum! These words ring out for us today, and they invite us to
remember the past with gratitude, to live the present with enthusiasm and to
look forward to the future with confidence: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday
and today and for ever (Heb 13:8).
John Paul II, Novo Millennio Ineunte, 1
