Deprecatio Gelasii

In the history of the liturgy, deprecatio Gelasii is an early church form of the Kyrie litany .

Emergence

Based on the Eastern Church model, this litany probably initially replaced the general church prayer between the sermon and the preparation of gifts . Soon the place of this prayer changed and moved to the oration at the end of the opening part of the mass . In further stages of development, the intervening requests were omitted because they were perceived as duplicating the requests of the canon . All that was left was a repeated Kyrie call. The attribution of the measure to Pope Gelasius I is considered certain.
