Q: Our pastor skips the Kyrie at daily Mass. He only says the “I confess.” I asked him why, and he said he just prefers the “I confess.” I pointed out that the Kyrie is supposed to follow the “I confess.” But he still skips it. Any suggestions of what I should do?

A: You’ve done about all you can do. Another idea is to contact the diocesan vicar general or vicar for priests and let him know what is going on.
You are correct. After the confiteor and the absolution prayer, the Order of Mass calls for the Kyrie—even when the confiteor is used at daily Mass.
