What is the part of the mass in which we listen and respond to gods word?

The part of the Mass where we listen and respond to God's Word is called the Liturgy of the Word. This section includes readings from the Old Testament, Psalms, New Testament, and the Gospel, followed by a homily that reflects on the readings. The congregation responds with affirmations, such as "Thanks be to God" or "Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ," emphasizing the interactive nature of this part of the service. It is a time for spiritual nourishment and reflection on Scripture.
