The ritual books of the church are written in red and black. The words in black are what the priest and the congregation say. The words in red, the rubrics, are what the priest and, to some extent, the congregation, do.

That’s why you’ll often hear people saying they wish their priests would limit themselves to ‘doing the red and saying the black’. An example from the new translation of the Roman Missal:

1. Then follows the Penitential Act, to which the Priest invites the faithful, saying:
   Brethren (brothers and sisters), let us acknowledge our sins,
   and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries.
   A brief pause for silence follows. Then all recite together the formula of general confession:
   I confess to almighty God
   and to you, my brothers and sisters,
   that I have greatly sinned,
   in my thoughts and in my words,
   in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
   And, striking their breast, they say:

For the Holy Mass it is the GIRM nccbuscc.org/liturgy/girm/theo.shtml and also the red lines in the Missal

Introductory Rites
When the people are gathered, the Priest approaches the altar with the ministers while the Entrance Chant is sung. When he has arrived at the altar, after making a profound bow with the ministers, the Priest venerates the altar with a kiss and, if appropriate, incenses the cross and the altar. Then, with the ministers, he goes to the chair. When the Entrance Chant is concluded, the Priest and the faithful, standing, sign themselves with the Sign of the Cross, while the Priest, facing the people, says:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
The people reply:
V. Amen.

If you searched for rubrics you might have more luck

One easily understood source providing official directives on what should be done during mass is the General Instruction on the Roman Liturgy. People often go to this when a question comes up on Catholic Answers on how the mass should be carried out rightly. You can google to this simply by typing in GIRM. An earlier post here mentions the GIRM when providing a link, which leads to what seem to be another document, which also seems worthy.
