This is an actual Mass that has been edited to provide training for altar boys, so it does not fulfill the obligation to attend Mass. Our Gregory (8) can serve the priest by himself. Any man or boy who serves the priest at the altar must go through the training. As the video is for training purposes only, there is none of the usual noise or chaos.
Everyone has a Missal and silently prays the Mass with the priest. The Missal is in Latin and English, and I read everything in English before Mass so I can read it in Latin during Mass. The altar boys say the responses.
IHS, which you see when the vestments are laid out, is a monogram or symbol for the name Jesus. The letters are a contraction of the Greek word for Jesus, which in Greek is spelled IHΣΟΥΣ.
A genuflection is made every time one passes the tabernacle out of respect for Christ within.
There is a good linguistic reason for saying Holy Ghost. The name comes from the German, Heilige Geist, which means Holy Ghost.
My warm-up explanation has not been reviewed by anyone else.
