Almost all of the Mass that Roman Catholics celebrate in English is based on Latin texts, but one Greek-based phrase always shows up at the beginning in the Penitential Rite, wherein we pray “Lord have mercy, Christ have Mercy, Lord have mercy,” or in Greek, “Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison.” Even if you attend a Latin Mass in the Extraordinary Form, this portion of the Mass will still be in Greek. Not to be confused with the Mr. Mister song of the same name.
