Excuse me for my ignorance, but isn't the confiteor supposed to be recited at EVERY Sunday mass? We have two parish priests, and one ALWAYS has it and the other one sometimes has it, sometimes doesn't. I have experienced the same phenomenon, only with the same priest (former). He would only say the
Lord, have mercy,
Christ, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy.
Our current priest says both the Confiteor and the Kyrie.
Is the "Confiteor" the "I confess to Almighty God and to you my brothers and sisters ..." or something else?
