What are you doing at mass when the gospel is read?

When the Gospel is read at Mass, the congregation typically stands to show reverence for the sacred text. The priest or deacon reads from one of the four Gospels, which recount the life and teachings of Jesus. During this time, worshippers listen attentively, reflecting on the message and its relevance to their faith and daily lives. It's a moment of spiritual engagement, often accompanied by a response or acclamation before and after the reading.
