WHAT DOES INTROIT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Introit

The Introit is part of the opening of the liturgical celebration of the Eucharist for many Christian denominations. In its most complete version, it consists of an antiphon, psalm verse and Gloria Patri that is spoken or sung at the beginning of the celebration. It is part of the Proper of the liturgy; that is, the part that changes over the liturgical year. In the Roman Rite of the Roman Catholic Church it is known as the antiphona ad introitum, as in the text for each day's Mass, or as the cantus ad introitum as in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 47 and as in the First Roman Ordo. In pre-1970 editions of the Roman Missal, the word Introitus was used, distinguished from the normal meaning of the word by being capitalized. In Ambrosian chant and Beneventan chant, the counterpart of the Introit is called the "ingressa". In the Mozarabic, Carthusian, Dominican, and Carmelite Rites, it is called the "officium".
