In some religious masses (e.g. Roman Catholic), a section from the gospel is spoken aloud to the parish. At the conclusion of the scripture reading a chant is started by the priest. He says ‘The [word of the lord]’ and the congregation responds ‘thanks be to god’. The [expression] “word” is a truncation of that phrase and it is said in agreement to a statement – a statement that bears some resemblance to gospel. It is intended to elevate the previously said phrase to a higher standard of truth. Related [Expressions]: “Peace” – also from Christian mass the phrase “Peace be with you” is exchanged between parishioners following the Our Father.
