so, this might be a little off topic, but last night i was at a praise and worship service for my campus ministry group. i usually don't like to go, but i'm a leader on the spirituality team, so i had to. as i was reading a part from the Gospel of John, out of habit i startd with "a reading from..." and ended with "the Word of the Lord." and not one single person said "Thanks be to God." surely i couldn't have been the only person in the room who knew this, because there were some Catholics and other liturgical people in the room.

Maybe they were uncomfortable speaking up in a mixed audience?
Also, do they finish the Gospel reading at your parish with "The word of the Lord"? I've never heard that done at an Orthodox parish.

For the Gospel reading, which only a Priest or Deacon delivers, there is always,
"The lesson is taken from the Gospel according to Saint ...."
"Let us be attentive."
People (Choir): "Glory to Thee, O Lord, Glory to Thee."
The Gospel is read or sung, and then the choir (people) follow with
"Glory to Thee, O Lord, Glory to Thee."

Yes, I'm familiar with the rubrics of the Liturgy, I was just asking Julina if things were done differently in her parish. Perhaps she attends a Western Rite parish?

The Western Rite ends their Gospel with the Alleluia.
We insert the Alleluia just after the Epistle reading and immediately before the Gospel.

The pattern she used was consistent with modern Catholic practice. Because she wasn't doing this in liturgy, and probably didn't chant it, that seems like a reasonible model to use.
Linear Mode
