| Summary: | This paper presents a reflection on the expressive aspects of the Catholic ritual proposed from the history and semiotics. The Tridentine Mass has been chosen as the object of inquiry, by means of prescriptive speeches which configure that ritual process. A situated vision of religion is defended and so the aesthetic, defined as the sum of strategies and adhesions that occur on the subject based on their sensitivity, as well as a final and substantive component for understanding the religious experience, is intended to be discussed. Thus, the subject - priest as the center of analysis, due to his role as a mediator of religious messages in ritual form, is chosen. The paper concludes that the Mass integrates the sensitivity of subjects, through pre-designed syntagma which imply the visual, the somatic, the voice care and the acoustic record.
