“With folded hands the priest now reads from the altar card the first fourteen verses of the first chapter of the Gospel according to St. John.
This reading, in the course of time, was added to the Eucharistic service on account of the great reverence the early Christians entertained for this portion of the Gospel and because it contains a summary of the benefits of which we are made partakers through Christ’s Sacrifice. The service was introduced by the prayer of the priest: “Send forth Thy light and Thy truth!” It could not be concluded in a more becoming manner than with the words: “AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
At the words “AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH,” the priest and people kneel on one knee in token of adoration of the mystery of the Incarnation, which is expressed by these words, and to indicate that the Son of God came from Heaven to earth. When the priest has finished the reading of this Gospel, the server answers, “Deo gratias”-“Thanks be to God.” These are the last words of the Mass. [from “The Latin Mass Explained” by Msgr. George J. Moorman.]
