Kyrie: From the Greek for the actual name, Kyrie Eleison ("Lord have mercy"). The Kyrie comes after the Ten Commandments or the Summary of the Law in the Rite I Holy Eucharist, to serve as a reminder to us that we cannot, by our own effort, keep the commandments. It is a plea for grace by fallen sinners.    In Rite II, where there is no recitation of the Ten Commandments or a Summary of the Law, the Kyrie seems out of place, and is, for that reason, often omitted.
