Order of Mass

English · Latin, aligned by the numbering of the Roman Missal

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:

Amen.

Populo congregato, sacerdos cum ministris ad altare accedit, dum cantus ad introitum peragitur.

Cum ad altare pervenerit, facta cum ministris debita reverentia, osculo altare veneratur et, pro opportunitate, illud incensat. Postea cum ministris sedem petit.

SALUTATIO

Cantu ad introitum absoluto, sacerdos et fideles, stantes, signant se, dum sacerdos, ad populum conversus, dicit:

In nómine Patris, et Fílii,et Spíritus Sancti.

Populus respondet: Amen.

Then the Priest, extending his hands, greets the people, saying:

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

and the love of God,

and the communion of the Holy Spirit

be with you all.

Or:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father

and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Or:

The Lord be with you.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

In this first greeting, instead of The Lord be with you, a Bishop says:

Peace be with you.

Deinde sacerdos, manus extendens, populum salutat, dicens:

A.

℣. Grátia Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, et cáritas Dei, et communicátio Sancti Spíritus sit cum ómnibus vobis.

℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.

B. Vel:

℣. Grátia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Dómino Iesu Christo.

Populus respondet:

℟. Benedíctus Deus et Pater Dómini nostri Iesu Christi.

Vel:

℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.

C. Vel:

Dóminus vobíscum.

Episcopus, loco Dóminus vobíscum, in hac prima salutatione dicit: Pax vobis.

Populus respondet: Et cum spíritu tuo.

The Priest, or a deacon, or another minister, may very briefly introduce the faithful to the Mass of the day.

Penitential Act1

Sacerdos, vel diaconus vel alius minister idoneus, potest brevissimis verbis introducere fideles in Missam illius diei.

Ritus benedictionis et aspersionis aquæ benedictæ fieri potest in omnibus Missis dominicæ, iis etiam quæ horis vespertinis sabbati anticipantur, in omnibus ecclesiis et oratoriis.

A. ORDO AD FACIENDAM ET ASPERGENDAMAQUAM BENEDICTAM

Huiusmodi ritus locum tenet actus pænitentialis initio Missæ peragendi.

Post salutationem, sacerdos, stans ad sedem, ad populum conversus, habens ante se vas cum aqua benedicenda, populum ad orandum invitat his vel similibus verbis:

Dóminum Deum nostrum,fratres caríssimi, supplíciter deprecémur,ut hanc creatúram aquæ benedícere dignétur,super nos aspergéndam in nostri memóriam baptísmi.Ipse autem nos adiuváre dignétur,ut fidéles Spirítui, quem accépimus, maneámus.

Et post brevem pausam silentii prosequitur, manibus iunctis:

A. Omnípotens sempitérne Deus,qui voluísti ut per aquam, fontem vitæac purificatiónis princípium,étiam ánimæ mundarénturæternáeque vitæ munus excíperent,dignáre, quæ´sumus, hanc aquam X benedícere,qua vólumus hac die tua,Dómine, communíri.Fontem vivum in nobis tuæ grátiæ renováriet ab omni malo spíritus et córporisper ipsam nos deféndi concédas,ut mundis tibi córdibus propinquáretuámque digne salútemvaleámus accípere.

Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. R. Amen.

B. Vel:

Dómine Deus omnípotens,qui es totíus vitæ córporis et ánimæ fons et orígo,hanc aquam, te quæ´sumus, X benedícas,qua fidénter útimurad nostrórum implorándam véniam peccatórumet advérsus omnes morbos inimicíque insídiastuæ defensiónem grátiæ consequéndam.

Præsta, Dómine, ut,misericórdia tua interveniénte,aquæ vivæ semper nobis sáliant in salútem,ut mundo tibi cordeappropinquáre possímus,et omnis córporis animæ´queperícula devitémus.

Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. R. Amen.

C. Vel, tempore paschali:

Dómine Deus omnípotens,précibus pópuli tui adésto propítius;et nobis, mirábile nostræ creatiónis opus,sed et redemptiónis nostræ mirabílius, memorántibus,hanc aquam X benedícere tu dignáre.Ipsam enim tu fecísti,ut et arva fecunditáte donáret,et levámen corpóribus nostris munditiámque præbéret.Aquam étiam tuæ minístram misericórdiæ condidísti;nam per ipsam solvísti tui pópuli servitútem,illiúsque sitim in desérto sedásti;per ipsam novum fcedus nuntiavérunt prophétæ,quod eras cum homínibus initúrus;per ipsam dénique,quam Christus in Iordáne sacrávit,corrúptam natúræ nostræ substántiamin regeneratiónis lavácro renovásti.Sit ígitur hæc aqua nobis suscépti baptísmatis memória,et cum frátibus nostris, qui sunt in Páscate baptizáti,gáudia nos tríbuas sociáre.

Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. R. Amen.

Ubi locorum condicio aut populi traditio suadet ut salis commixtio in benedictione aquæ servetur, sacerdos sal benedicit, dicens:

Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus,ut hanc creatúram salisbenedícere X tua pietáte dignéris,qui per Eliséum prophétam in aquammitti eam iussísti,ut sanarétur sterílitas aquæ.Præsta, Dómine, quæ´sumus,ut, ubicúmque hæc salis et aquæ commíxtiofúerit aspérsa, omni impugnatióne inimíci depúlsa,præséntia Sancti tui Spíritusnos iúgiter custódiat.

Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. R. Amen.

Deinde sal immittit in aquam, nihil dicens.

Postea, accepto aspersorio, sacerdos aspergit se et ministros, deinde clerum et populum, pro opportunitate transeundo per ecclesiam .

Interim peragitur unus e cantibus qui sequuntur, vel alius cantus aptus.

Ad sedem reversus, et cantu expleto, sacerdos, stans versus ad populum, manibus iunctis, dicit:

Deus omnípotens, nos a peccátis puríficet,et per huius Eucharístiæ celebratiónemdignos nos reddat,qui mensæ regni sui partícipes efficiámur.

℟. Amen.

Deinde, quando præscribitur, cantatur vel dicitur hymnus Gloria in excélsis Deo.

Then follows the Penitential Act, to which the Priest invites the faithful, saying:

Brethren (brothers and sisters), let us acknowledge our sins,

that we may 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:

through my fault, through my fault,

through my most grievous fault;

Then they continue:

therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,

all the Angels and Saints,

and you, my brothers and sisters,

to pray for me to the Lord our God.

The absolution of the Priest follows:

May almighty God have mercy on us

and lead us, with our sins forgiven,

to eternal life.

The people reply:

Amen.

Or:

B. ACTUS PÆNITENTIALIS

Deinde sequitur actus pænitentialis. Sacerdos fideles invitat ad pænitentiam:

Fratres, agnoscámus peccáta nostra,ut apti simus ad sacra mystéria celebránda.

Fit brevis pausa silentii. Postea omnes simul faciunt confessionem:

A.

Confíteor Deo omnipoténti et vobis, fratres,quia peccávi nimiscogitatióne, verbo, ópere et omissióne:

et, percutientes sibi pectus, dicunt:

mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa.

Deinde prosequuntur:

Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper Vírginem,omnes Angelos et Sanctos,et vos, fratres, oráre pro mead Dóminum Deum nostrum.

Sequitur absolutio sacerdotis:

Misereátur nostri omnípotens Deuset, dimíssis peccátis nostris,perdúcat nos ad vitam ætérnam.

Populus respondet: Amen.

The Priest invites the faithful to make the Penitential Act:

Brethren (brothers and sisters), let us acknowledge our sins,

that we may prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries.

A brief pause for silence follows.

The Priest then says:

Have mercy on us, O Lord.

The people reply:

For we have sinned against you.

The Priest:

Show us, O Lord, your mercy.

The people:

And grant us your salvation.

The absolution by the Priest follows:

May almighty God have mercy on us

and lead us, with our sins forgiven,

to eternal life.

The people reply:

Amen.

Or:

B. Sacerdos fideles invitat ad pænitentiam:

Fratres, agnoscámus peccáta nostra,ut apti simus ad sacra mystéria celebránda.

Postea sacerdos dicit:

Miserére nostri, Dómine.

Populus respondet: Quia peccávimus tibi.

Sacerdos:

Osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam.

Populus: Et salutáre tuum da nobis.

Sequitur absolutio sacerdotis:

Misereátur nostri omnípotens Deuset, dimíssis peccátis nostris,perdúcat nos ad vitam ætérnam.

Populus respondet: Amen.

The Priest invites the faithful to make the Penitential Act:

Brethren (brothers and sisters), let us acknowledge our sins,

that we may prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries.

There follows a brief pause for silence.

The Priest, or a deacon or another minister, then says the following or other invocations with Kyrie, eleison (Lord, have mercy):

You were sent to heal the contrite of heart:

Lord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.

The people reply:

Lord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.

The Priest:

You came to call sinners:

Christ, have mercy. Or: Christe, eleison.

The people:

Christ, have mercy. Or: Christe, eleison.

The Priest:

You are seated at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us:

Lord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.

The people:

Lord, have mercy. Or: Kyrie, eleison.

The absolution by the Priest follows:

May almighty God have mercy on us

and lead us, with our sins forgiven,

to eternal life.

The people reply:

Amen.

C. Deinde sacerdos, vel alius minister idoneus, sequentes, vel alias, invocationes cum Kýrie, eléison profert:

Qui missus es sanáre contrítos corde:Kýrie eléison.

Populus respondet: Kýrie, eléison.

Sacerdos:

Populus: Christe, eléison.

Sacerdos:

Populus: Kýrie, eléison.

Sequitur absolutio sacerdotis:

Misereátur nostri omnípotens Deuset, dimíssis peccátis nostris,perdúcat nos ad vitam ætérnam.

GLORIA

Then, when it is prescribed, this hymn is sung or said:

Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to people of good will.

We praise you,

we bless you,

we adore you,

we glorify you,

we give you thanks for your great glory,

Lord God, heavenly King,

O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,

Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

in the glory of God the Father.

Amen.

Deinde, quando præscribitur, cantatur vel dicitur hymnus:

COLLECTA

When this hymn is concluded, the Priest, with hands joined, says:

Let us pray.

And all pray in silence with the Priest for a moment.

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says the Collect prayer, at the end of which the people acclaim:

Amen.

The Liturgy of the Word

Quo hymno finito, sacerdos, manibus iunctis, dicit:

Orémus.

Et omnes una cum sacerdote per aliquod temporis spatium in silentio orant.

Tunc sacerdos, manibus extensis, dicit orationem; qua finita, populus acclamat:

Amen.

LITURGIA VERBI

PRIMA LECTIO

Then the reader goes to the ambo and reads the first reading, while all sit and listen.

To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims:

The Word of the Lord.

All reply:

Thanks be to God.

Deinde lector ad ambonem pergit, et legit primam lectionem, quam omnes sedentes auscultant. Ad finem lectionis significandam, lector subdit:

Verbum Dómini.

Omnes acclamant: Deo grátias.

PSALMUS RESPONSORIUS

The psalmist or cantor sings or says the Psalm, with the people making the response.

Psalmista, seu cantor, psalmum dicit, populo responsum proferente.

SECUNDA LECTIO

After this, if there is to be a second reading, a reader reads it from the ambo, as above.

To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims:

The Word of the Lord.

All reply:

Thanks be to God.

Postea, si habenda sit secunda lectio, lector eam in ambone legit, ut supra. Ad finem lectionis significandam, lector subdit:

Verbum Dómini.

Omnes acclamant: Deo grátias.

ALLELUIA VEL CANTUS

There follows the Alleluia or another chant laid down by the rubrics, as the liturgical time requires.

Sequitur Allelúia, vel alter cantus.

℣. Allelúia. R. Allelúia.

℣. (Versus) R. Allelúia.

Tempore quo allelúia non est dicendum.

Laus tibi, Christe, Rex ætérnæ glóriæ!

Laus et honor tibi, Dómine Iesu!

Glória et laus tibi, Christe!

Glória tibi, Christe, Verbo Dei!

EVANGELIUM

Meanwhile, if incense is used, the Priest puts some into the thurible. After this, the deacon who is to proclaim the Gospel, bowing profoundly before the Priest, asks for the blessing, saying in a low voice:

May I have your blessing, Father.

The Priest says in a low voice:

May the Lord be in your heart and on your lips

that you may proclaim his Gospel worthily and well,

in the name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit.

The deacon signs himself with the Sign of the Cross and replies:

Amen.

If, however, a deacon is not present, the Priest, bowing before the altar, says quietly:

Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty God,

that I may worthily proclaim your holy Gospel.

Interim sacerdos incensum, si adhibetur, imponit. Postea diaconus, Evangelium prolaturus, ante sacerdotem inclinatus, benedictionem petit, submissa voce dicens:

Iube, domne, benedícere.

Sacerdos submissa voce dicit:

Dóminus sit in corde tuo et in lábiis tuis: ut digne et competénter annúnties Evangélium suum: in nómine Patris, et Fílii, X et Spíritus Sancti.

Diaconus respondet: Amen.

Si vero non adest diaconus, sacerdos ante altare inclinatus secreto dicit:

Munda cor meum ac lábia mea, omnípotens Deus,ut sanctum Evangélium tuum digne váleam nuntiáre.

The deacon, or the Priest, then proceeds to the ambo, accompanied, if appropriate, by ministers with incense and candles. There he says:

The Lord be with you.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

The deacon, or the Priest:

A reading from the holy Gospel according to N.

and, at the same time, he makes the Sign of the Cross on the book and on his forehead, lips, and breast.

The people acclaim:

Glory to you, O Lord.

Then the deacon, or the Priest, incenses the book, if incense is used, and proclaims the Gospel.

Postea diaconus, vel sacerdos, ad ambonem pergit, ministris pro opportunitate cum incenso et cereis eum comitantibus, et dicit:

Dóminus vobíscum.

Populus respondet: Et cum spíritu tuo.

Diaconus, vel sacerdos:

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum N.,

et interim signat librum et seipsum in fronte, ore et pectore.

Populus acclamat: Glória tibi, Dómine.

Deinde diaconus, vel sacerdos, librum, si incensum adhibetur, thurificat, et Evangelium proclamat.

At the end of the Gospel, the deacon, or the Priest, acclaims:

The Gospel of the Lord.

All reply:

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Then he kisses the book, saying quietly:

Through the words of the Gospel may our sins be wiped away.

Finito Evangelio, diaconus, vel sacerdos dicit:

Verbum Dómini,

Omnibus acclamantibus: Laus tibi, Christe.

Deinde librum osculatur dicens secreto:

Per evangélica dicta deleántur nostra delícta.

HOMILIA

Then follows the homily, which is to be preached by a Priest or deacon on all Sundays and holy days of obligation; on other days, it is recommended.

Deinde fit homilia, quæ habenda est omnibus diebus dominicis et festis de præcepto; aliis diebus commendatur.

CREDO

At the end of the homily, the Symbol or Profession of Faith or Creed, when prescribed, is sung or said:

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

At the words that follow up to and including and became man, all bow.

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate

of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

And one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Homilia expleta, fit, quando præscribitur, professio fidei:

Credo in unum Deum,Patrem omnipoténtem,factórem cæli et terræ,visibílium ómnium et invisibílium.

Et in unum Dóminum Iesum Christum,Fílium Dei unigénitum,et ex Patre natum, ante ómnia sæ´cula.Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine,Deum verum de Deo vero,génitum, non factum, consubstantiálem Patri:per quem ómnia facta sunt.Qui propter nos hómines et propter nostram salútemdescéndit de cælis.

Ad verba quæ sequuntur, usque ad factus est, omnes se inclinant.

Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sanctoex María Vírgine, et homo factus est.Crucifíxus étiam pro nobis sub Póntio Piláto;passus et sepúltus est,et resurréxit tértia die,secúndum Scriptúras,et ascéndit in cælum,sedet ad déxteram Patris.Et íterum ventúrus est cum glória,iudicáre vivos et mórtuos,cuius regni non erit finis.

Et in Spíritum Sanctum, Dóminum et vivificántem:qui ex Patre Filióque procédit.Qui cum Patre et Fílio simul adoráturet conglorificátur:qui locútus est per prophétas.Et unam, sanctam, cathólicamet apostólicam Ecclésiam.Confíteor unum baptísmain remissiónem peccatórum.Et exspécto resurrectiónem mortuórum,et vitam ventúri sæ´culi. Amen.

ORATIO UNIVERSALIS

Instead of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, especially during Lent and Easter time, the baptismal Symbol of the Roman Church, known as the Apostles’ Creed, may be used.

I believe in God,

the Father almighty,

Creator of heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

At the words that follow, up to and including the Virgin Mary, all bow.

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died and was buried;

he descended into hell;

on the third day he rose again from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;

from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic Church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and life everlasting. Amen.

Then follows the Universal Prayer, that is, the Prayer of the Faithful or Bidding Prayers.

The Liturgy of the Eucharist

Deinde fit oratio universalis, seu oratio fidelium.

℟. Te rogámus audi nos.

℟. Kýrie, eléison.

LITURGIA EUCHARISTICA

PRÆPARATIO DONORUM

When all this has been done, the Offertory Chant begins. Meanwhile, the ministers place the corporal, the purificator, the chalice, the pall, and the Missal on the altar.

His absolutis, incipit cantus ad offertorium. Interim ministri corporale, purificatorium, calicem et missale in altari collocant.

It is desirable that the faithful express their participation by making an offering, bringing forward bread and wine for the celebration of the Eucharist and perhaps other gifts to relieve the needs of the Church and of the poor.

Expedit ut fideles participationem suam oblatione manifestent, afferendo sive panem et vinum ad Eucharistiæ celebrationem, sive alia dona, quibus necessitatibus Ecclesiæ et pauperum subveniatur.

The Priest, standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,

for through your goodness we have received

the bread we offer you:

fruit of the earth and work of human hands,

it will become for us the bread of life.

Then he places the paten with the bread on the corporal.

If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:

Blessed be God for ever.

Sacerdos, stans ad altare, accipit patenam cum pane, eamque aliquantulum elevatam super altare tenet, secreto dicens:

Benedíctus es, Dómine, Deus univérsi,quia de tua largitáte accépimus panem,quem tibi offérimus,fructum terræ et óperis mánuum hóminum:ex quo nobis fiet panis vitæ.

Deinde deponit patenam cum pane super corporale.

Si vero cantus ad offertorium non peragitur, sacerdoti licet hæc verba elata voce proferre; in fine populus acclamare potest:

Benedíctus Deus in sæcula.

The deacon, or the Priest, pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying quietly:

By the mystery of this water and wine

may we come to share in the divinity of Christ

who humbled himself to share in our humanity.

Diaconus, vel sacerdos, infundit vinum et parum aquæ in calicem, dicens secreto:

Per huius aquæ et vini mystériumeius efficiámur divinitátis consórtes,qui humanitátis nostræ fíeri dignátus est párticeps.

The Priest then takes the chalice and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,

for through your goodness we have received

the wine we offer you:

fruit of the vine and work of human hands

it will become our spiritual drink.

Then he places the chalice on the corporal.

If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:

Blessed be God for ever.

Postea sacerdos accipit calicem, eumque aliquantulum elevatum super altare tenet, secreto dicens:

Benedíctus es, Dómine, Deus univérsi,quia de tua largitáte accépimus vinum,quod tibi offérimus,fructum vitis et óperis mánuum hóminum,ex quo nobis fiet potus spiritális.

Deinde calicem super corporale deponit.

Si vero cantus ad offertorium non peragitur, sacerdoti licet hæc verba elata voce proferre; in fine populus acclamare potest:

Benedíctus Deus in sæcula.

After this, the Priest, bowing profoundly, says quietly:

With humble spirit and contrite heart

may we be accepted by you, O Lord,

and may our sacrifice in your sight this day

be pleasing to you, Lord God.

Postea sacerdos, inclinatus, dicit secreto:

In spíritu humilitátis et in ánimo contrítosuscipiámur a te, Dómine;et sic fiat sacrifícium nostrum in conspéctu tuo hódie,ut pláceat tibi, Dómine Deus.

If appropriate, he also incenses the offerings, the cross, and the altar. A deacon or other minister then incenses the Priest and the people.

Et, pro opportunitate, incensat oblata et altare. Postea vero diaconus vel minister incensat sacerdotem et populum.

Then the Priest, standing at the side of the altar, washes his hands, saying quietly:

Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity

and cleanse me from my sin.

Deinde sacerdos, stans ad latus altaris, lavat manus, dicens secreto:

Lava me, Dómine, ab iniquitáte mea,et a peccáto meo munda me.

Standing at the middle of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining his hands, he says:

Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),

that my sacrifice and yours

may be acceptable to God,

the almighty Father.

The people rise and reply:

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands

for the praise and glory of his name,

for our good

and the good of all his holy Church.

Stans postea in medio altaris, versus ad populum, extendens et iungens manus, dicit:

Oráte, fratres:ut meum ac vestrum sacrifíciumacceptábile fiat apud Deum Patrem omnipoténtem.

Populus respondet:

Suscípiat Dóminus sacrifícium de mánibus tuisad laudem et glóriam nóminis sui,ad utilitátem quoque nostramtotiúsque Ecclésiæ suæ sanctæ.

ORATIO SUPER OBLATA

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says the Prayer over the Offerings, at the end of which the people acclaim:

Amen.

THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER

Deinde, manibus extensis, sacerdos dicit orationem super oblata; qua finita, populus acclamat:

Amen

PREX EUCHARISTICA*

Then the Priest begins the Eucharistic Prayer.

Extending his hands, he says:

The Lord be with you.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

The Priest, raising his hands, continues:

Lift up your hearts.

The people:

We lift them up to the Lord.

The Priest, with hands extended, adds:

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

The people:

It is right and just.

The Priest, with hands extended, continues the Preface.

parum se inclinat

Accípite et manducáte ex hoc omnes:hoc est enim corpus meum,quod pro vobis tradétur.

Hostiam consecratam ostendit populo, reponit super patenam, et genuflexus adorat.

After this, the Priest continues:

In a similar way, when supper was ended,

He takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:

he took this precious chalice

in his holy and venerable hands,

and once more giving you thanks, he said the blessing

and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:

He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,

THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,

WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY

FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

The Priest shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration.

Postea prosequitur:

Símili modo, postquam cenátum est,

accipit calicem, eumque parum elevatum super altare tenens, prosequitur:

accípiens et hunc præclárum cálicemin sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas,item tibi grátias agens benedíxit,dedítque discípulis suis, dicens:

Accípite et bíbite ex eo omnes:hic est enim calix sánguinis meinovi et ætérni testaménti,qui pro vobis et pro multis effundéturin remissiónem peccatórum.Hoc fácite in meam commemoratiónem.

Calicem ostendit populo, deponit super corporale, et genuflexus adorat.

Then the Priest says:

The mystery of faith.

And the people continue, acclaiming:

We proclaim your death, O Lord,

and profess your Resurrection

until you come again.

Or:

When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,

we proclaim your death, O Lord,

until you come again.

Or:

Save us, Savior of the world,

for by your Cross and Resurrection

you have set us free.

Deinde dicit:

Mystérium fídei.

Et populus prosequitur, acclamans:

Mortem tuam annuntiámus, Dómine,et tuam resurrectiónem confitémur,donec vénias.

Vel:

Vel:

Salvátor mundi, salva nos,qui per crucem et resurrectiónem tuamliberásti nos.

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:

✠ Therefore, O Lord,

as we celebrate the memorial of the blessed Passion,

the Resurrection from the dead,

and the glorious Ascension into heaven

of Christ, your Son, our Lord,

we, your servants and your holy people,

offer to your glorious majesty

from the gifts that you have given us,

this pure victim,

this holy victim,

this spotless victim,

the holy Bread of eternal life

and the Chalice of everlasting salvation.

Postea, extensis manibus, sacerdos dicit:

✠ Unde et mémores, Dómine,nos servi tui,sed et plebs tua sancta,eiúsdem Christi, Fílii tui, Dómini nostri,tam beátæ passiónis,necnon et ab ínferis resurrectiónis,sed et in cælos gloriósæ ascensiónis:offérimus præcláræ maiestáti tuæde tuis donis ac datishóstiam puram,hóstiam sanctam,hóstiam immaculátam,Panem sanctum vitæ ætérnæet Cálicem salútis perpétuæ.

Be pleased to look upon them

with serene and kindly countenance,

and to accept them,

as you were pleased to accept

the gifts of your servant Abel the just,

the sacrifice of Abraham, our father in faith,

and the offering of your high priest Melchizedek,

a holy sacrifice, a spotless victim.

Supra quæ propítio ac seréno vulturespícere dignéris:et accepta habére,sícuti accépta habére dignátus esmúnera púeri tui iusti Abel,et sacrifícium Patriárchæ nostri Abrahæ,et quod tibi óbtulitsummus sacérdos tuus Melchísedech,sanctum sacrifícium, immaculátam hóstiam.

Bowing, with hands joined, he continues:

In humble prayer we ask you, almighty God:

command that these gifts be borne

by the hands of your holy Angel

to your altar on high

in the sight of your divine majesty,

so that all of us who through this participation at the altar receive

the most holy Body and Blood of your Son

He stands upright again and signs himself with the Sign of the Cross, saying:

may be filled with every grace and heavenly blessing.

He joins his hands.

[Through Christ our Lord. Amen.]

Inclinatus, iunctis manibus, prosequitur:

Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus:iube hæc perférri per manus sancti Angeli tuiin sublíme altáre tuum,in conspéctu divínæ maiestátis tuæ;ut, quotquot ex hac altáris participatiónesacrosánctum Fílii tui Corpus et Sánguinem sumpsérimus,

omni benedictióne cælésti et grátia repleámur.

Iungit manus.

[ Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen. ]

Commemoration of the Dead

With hands extended, the Priest says:

✠ Remember also, Lord, your servants N. and N.,

who have gone before us with the sign of faith

and rest in the sleep of peace.

He joins his hands and prays briefly for those who have died and for whom he intends to pray.

Then, with hands extended, he continues:

Grant them, O Lord, we pray,

and all who sleep in Christ,

a place of refreshment, light and peace.

He joins his hands.

[Through Christ our Lord. Amen.]

COMMEMORATIO PRO DEFUNCTIS

bless them, and bestow them upon us.

Et prosequitur:

Per quem hæc ómnia, Dómine,semper bona creas, sanctíficas, vivíficas, benedícis,et præstas nobis.

He takes the chalice and the paten with the host and, elevating both, he says:

to you, O God, almighty Father,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

is all honor and glory,

V/. The Lord be with you.

R/. And with your spirit.

V/. Lift up your hearts.

R/. We lift them up to the Lord.

whom you sent as our Savior and Redeemer,

incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin.

Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people,

he stretched out his hands as he endured his Passion,

so as to break the bonds of death and manifest the resurrection.

And so, with the Angels and all the Saints

we proclaim your glory,

as with one voice we sing (say):

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:

✠ Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,

by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall,

He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the Cross once over the bread and the chalice together, saying:

so that they may become for us

the Body + and Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

He joins his hands.

In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, as the nature of these words requires.

At the time he was betrayed

and entered willingly into his Passion,

He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:

he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it,

and gave it to his disciples, saying:

He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,

FOR THIS IS MY BODY,

WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.

He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in adoration.

In formulis quæ sequuntur, verba Domini proferantur distincte et aperte, prouti natura eorundem verborum requirit.

✠ Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his Death and Resurrection,

we offer you, Lord,

the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation,

giving thanks that you have held us worthy

to be in your presence and minister to you.

so that from the rising of the sun to its setting

a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.

Deinde sequitur ritus communionis,

PREX EUCHARISTICA IV

117.

℣. Dóminus vobíscum.R. Et cum spíritu tuo.

℣. Sursum corda.R. Habémus ad Dóminum.

℣. Grátias agámus Dómino Deo nostro.R. Dignum et iustum est.

Vere dignum est tibi grátias ágere,vere iustum est te glorificáre, Pater sancte,quia unus es Deus vivus et verus,qui es ante sæcula et pérmanes in ætérnum,inaccessíbilem lucem inhábitans;sed et qui unus bonus atque fons vitæ cuncta fecísti,ut creatúras tuas benedictiónibus adimpléresmultásque lætificáres tui lúminis claritáte.Et ídeo coram te innúmeræ astant turbæ angelórum,qui die ac nocte sérviunt tibiet, vultus tui glóriam contemplántes,te incessánter gloríficant.Cum quibus et nos et, per nostram vocem,omnis quæ sub cælo est creatúranomen tuum in exsultatióne confitémur, canéntes:

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.Pleni sunt cæli et terra glória tua.Hosánna in excélsis.Benedíctus qui venit in nómine Dómini.Hosánna in excélsis.

It is not permissible to change the Preface of this Eucharistic Prayer because of the structure of the Prayer itself, which presents a summary of salvation history.

V/. The Lord be with you.

R/. And with your spirit.

V/. Lift up your hearts.

R/. We lift them up to the Lord.

V/. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

R/. It is right and just.

It is truly right to give you thanks,

truly just to give you glory, Father most holy,

for you are the one God living and true,

existing before all ages and abiding for all eternity,

dwelling in unapproachable light;

yet you, who alone are good, the source of life,

have made all that is,

so that you might fill your creatures with blessings

and bring joy to many of them by the glory of your light.

And so, in your presence are countless hosts of Angels,

who serve you day and night

and, gazing upon the glory of your face,

glorify you without ceasing.

With them we, too, confess your name in exultation,

giving voice to every creature under heaven

as we sing (say):

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

The Priest, with hands extended, says:

✠ We give you praise, Father most holy,

for you are great, and you have fashioned all your works

in wisdom and in love.

You formed man in your own image

and entrusted the whole world to his care,

so that in serving you alone, the Creator,

he might have dominion over all creatures.

And when through disobedience he had lost your friendship,

you did not abandon him to the domain of death.

For you came in mercy to the aid of all,

so that those who seek might find you.

Time and again you offered them covenants

and through the prophets taught them to look forward to salvation.

And you so loved the world, Father most holy,

that in the fullness of time

you sent your Only Begotten Son to be our Savior.

Incarnate by the Holy Spirit

and born of the Virgin Mary,

he shared our human nature

in all things but sin.

To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation,

to prisoners, freedom,

and to the sorrowful of heart, joy.

To accomplish your plan,

he gave himself up to death,

and, rising from the dead,

he destroyed death and restored life.

And that we might live no longer for ourselves

but for him who died and rose again for us,

he sent the Holy Spirit from you, Father,

as the first fruits for those who believe,

so that, bringing to perfection his work in the world,

he might sanctify creation to the full.

Sacerdos, manibus extensis, dicit:

✠ Confitémur tibi, Pater sancte,quia magnus es et ómnia ópera tuain sapiéntia et caritáte fecísti.Hóminem ad tuam imáginem condidísti,eíque commisísti mundi curam univérsi,ut, tibi soli Creatóri sérviens,creatúris ómnibus imperáret.Et cum amicítiam tuam, non oboédiens, amisísset,non eum dereliquísti in mortis império.Omnibus enim misericórditer subvenísti,ut te quæréntes invenírent.Sed et foédera plúries homínibus obtulístieósque per prophétas erudísti in exspectatióne salútis.Et sic, Pater sancte, mundum dilexísti,ut, compléta plenitúdine témporum,Unigénitum tuum nobis mítteres Salvatórem.Qui, incarnátus de Spíritu Sanctoet natus ex María Vírgine,in nostra condiciónis forma est conversátusper ómnia absque peccáto;salútem evangelizávit paupéribus,redemptiónem captívis,mæstis corde lætítiam.Ut tuam vero dispensatiónem impléret,in mortem trádidit semetípsumac, resúrgens a mórtuis,mortem destrúxit vitámque renovávit.Et, ut non ámplius nobismetípsis viverémus,sed sibi qui pro nobis mórtuus est atque surréxit,a te, Pater, misit Spíritum Sanctumprimítias credéntibus,qui, opus suum in mundo perfíciens,omnem sanctificatiónem compléret.

He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:

✠ Therefore, O Lord, we pray:

may this same Holy Spirit

graciously sanctify these offerings,

He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the Cross once over the bread and chalice together, saying:

that they may become

the Body + and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ

He joins his hands.

for the celebration of this great mystery,

which he himself left us

as an eternal covenant.

Iungit manus, easque expansas super oblata tenens, dicit:

✠ Quæsumus ígitur, Dómine,ut idem Spíritus Sanctushæc múnera sanctificáre dignétur,

iungit manus et signat semel super panem et calicem simul, dicens:

ut Corpus et X Sanguis fiantDómini nostri Iesu Christi

iungit manus

ad hoc magnum mystérium celebrándum,quod ipse nobis relíquit in fœdus ætérnum.

In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, as the nature of these words requires.

For when the hour had come

for him to be glorified by you, Father most holy,

having loved his own who were in the world,

he loved them to the end:

and while they were at supper,

He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:

he took bread, blessed and broke it,

and gave it to his disciples, saying,

He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,

FOR THIS IS MY BODY,

WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.

He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in adoration.

In formulis quæ sequuntur, verba Domini proferantur distincte et aperte, prouti natura eorundem verborum requirit.

Ipse enim, cum hora veníssetut glorificarétur a te, Pater sancte,ac dilexísset suos qui erant in mundo,in finem diléxit eos:et cenántibus illis

accipit panem, eumque parum elevatum super altare tenens, prosequitur:

accépit panem, benedíxit ac fregit,dedítque discípulis suis, dicens:

parum se inclinat

Accípite et manducáte ex hoc omnes:hoc est enim corpus meum,quod pro vobis tradétur.

Hostiam consecratam ostendit populo, deponit super patenam, et genuflexus adorat.

After this, he continues:

In a similar way,

He takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:

taking the chalice filled with the fruit of the vine,

he gave thanks,

and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:

He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,

THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,

WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY

FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration.

Postea prosequitur:

Símili modo

accipit calicem, eumque parum elevatum super altare tenens, prosequitur:

accípiens cálicem, ex genímine vitis replétum,grátias egit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens:

parum se inclinat

Accípite et bíbite ex eo omnes:hic est enim calix sánguinis meinovi et ætérni testaménti,qui pro vobis et pro multis effundéturin remissiónem peccatórum.Hoc fácite in meam commemoratiónem.

Calicem ostendit populo, deponit super corporale, et genuflexusadorat.

Then he says:

The mystery of faith.

And the people continue, acclaiming:

We proclaim your death, O Lord,

and profess your Resurrection

until you come again.

Or:

When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,

we proclaim your death, O Lord,

until you come again.

Or:

Save us, Savior of the world,

for by your Cross and Resurrection

you have set us free.

Deinde dicit:

Mystérium fídei:

Et populus prosequitur, acclamans:

Mortem tuam annuntiámus, Dómine,et tuam resurrectiónem confitémur,donec vénias.

Vel:

Quotiescúmque manducámus panem huncet cálicem bíbimus,mortem tuam annuntiámus, Dómine, donec vénias.

Vel:

Salvátor mundi, salva nos,qui per crucem et resurrectiónem tuamliberásti nos.

Then, with hands extended, the Priest says:

✠ Therefore, O Lord,

as we now celebrate the memorial of our redemption,

we remember Christ’s death

and his descent to the realm of the dead;

we proclaim his Resurrection

and his Ascension to your right hand;

and as we await his coming in glory,

we offer you his Body and Blood,

the sacrifice acceptable to you

which brings salvation to the whole world.

✠ Look, O Lord, upon the Sacrifice

which you yourself have provided for your Church,

and grant in your loving kindness

to all who partake of this one Bread and one Chalice

that, gathered into one body by the Holy Spirit,

they may truly become a living sacrifice in Christ

to the praise of your glory.

✠ Therefore, Lord, remember now

all for whom we make this offering:

especially your servant, N. our Pope,

N. our Bishop,1and the whole Order of Bishops,

all the clergy,

those who make this offering,

those gathered here before you,

your entire people,

and all who seek you with a sincere heart.

Remember also

those who have died in the peace of your Christ

and all the dead,

whose faith you alone have known.

✠ To all of us, your children,

grant, O merciful Father,

that we may enter into a heavenly inheritance

with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,

and with your Apostles and Saints in your kingdom.

There, with the whole of creation,

freed from the corruption of sin and death,

may we glorify you through Christ our Lord,

He joins his hands.

through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.

Deinde sacerdos, extensis manibus, dicit:

✠ Unde et nos, Dómine, redemptiónisnostræ memoriále nunc celebrántes,mortem Christieiúsque descénsum ad ínferos recólimus,eius resurrectiónemet ascensiónem ad tuam déxteram profitémur,et, exspectántes ipsíus advéntum in glória,offérimus tibi eius Corpus et Sánguinem,sacrifícium tibi acceptábile et toti mundo salutáre.

Réspice, Dómine, in Hóstiam,quam Ecclésiæ tuæ ipse parásti,et concéde benígnus ómnibusqui ex hoc uno pane participábunt et cálice,ut, in unum corpus a Sancto Spíritu congregáti,in Christo hóstia viva perficiántur,ad laudem glóriæ tuæ.

✠ Nunc ergo, Dómine, ómnium recordáre,pro quibus tibi hanc oblatiónem offérimus:in primis fámuli tui, Papæ nostri N.,Epíscopi nostri N., et Episcopórum órdinis univérsi,sed et totíus cleri, et offeréntium,et circumstántium,et cuncti pópuli tui,et ómnium, qui te quærunt corde sincéro.

✠ Meménto étiam illórum,qui obiérunt in pace Christi tui,et ómnium defunctórum,quorum fidem tu solus cognovísti.

✠ Nobis ómnibus, fíliis tuis,clemens Pater, concéde,ut cæléstem hereditátem cónsequi valeámuscum beáta Vírgine, Dei Genetríce, María,cum Apóstolis et Sanctis tuisin regno tuo, ubi cum univérsa creatúra,a corruptióne peccáti et mortis liberáta,te glorificémus per Christum Dóminum nostrum,

iungit manus,

per quem mundo bona cuncta largíris.

He takes the chalice and the paten with the host and, elevating both, he says:

✠ Through him, and with him, and in him,

to you, O God, almighty Father,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

is all honor and glory,

for ever and ever.

The people acclaim:

Amen.

Then follows the Communion Rite.

The Communion Rite

Accipit patenam cum hostia et calicem, et utrumque elevans, dicit:

✠ Per ipsum,et cum ipso,et in ipso,est tibi Deo Patri omnipoténti,in unitáte Spíritus Sancti,omnis honor et glóriaper ómnia sæcula sæculórum.

Populus acclamat: Amen.

Deinde sequitur ritus communionis,

RITUS COMMUNIONIS

PATER NOSTER

After the chalice and paten have been set down, the Priest, with hands joined, says:

At the Savior’s command

and formed by divine teaching,

we dare to say:

He extends his hands and, together with the people, continues:

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Calice et patena depositis, sacerdos, iunctis manibus, dicit:

Præcéptis salutáribus móniti,et divína institutióne formáti,audémus dícere:

Vel:

Et nunc oratiónem,quam Christus Dóminus nos dócuit,omnes simul dicámus:

Vel:

Precem nostram pergámus,advéntum regni Dei quæréndo:

Extendit manus et, una cum populo, pergit:

Pater noster, qui es in cælis:sanctificétur nomen tuum;advéniat regnum tuum;fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo, et in terra.Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie;et dimítte nobis débita nostra,sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris;et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem;sed líbera nos a malo.

With hands extended, the Priest alone continues, saying:

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,

graciously grant peace in our days,

that, by the help of your mercy,

we may be always free from sin

and safe from all distress,

as we await the blessed hope

and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

He joins his hands.

The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming:

For the kingdom,

the power and the glory are yours

now and for ever.

Manibus extensis, sacerdos solus prosequitur, dicens:

Líbera nos, quæ´sumus, Dómine, ab ómnibus malis,da propítius pacem in diébus nostris,ut, ope misericórdiæ tuæ adiúti,et a peccáto simus semper líberiet ab omni perturbatióne secúri:exspectántes beátam spemet advéntum Salvatóris nostri Iesu Christi.

Iungit manus.

DOXOLOGIA

Populus orationem concludit, acclamans:

Quia tuum est regnum, et potéstas, et glória in sæcula.

RITUS PACIS

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says aloud:

Lord Jesus Christ,

who said to your Apostles,

Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,

look not on our sins,

but on the faith of your Church,

and graciously grant her peace and unity

in accordance with your will.

He joins his hands.

Who live and reign for ever and ever.

The people reply:

Amen.

Deinde sacerdos, manibus extensis, clara voce dicit:

Dómine Iesu Christe, qui dixísti Apóstolis tuis:Pacem relínquo vobis, pacem meam do vobis:ne respícias peccáta nostra,sed fidem Ecclésiæ tuæ;eámque secúndum voluntátem tuampacificáre et coadunáre dignéris.

Iungit manus.

Qui vivis et regnas in sæcula sæculorum.

Populus respondet: Amen.

The Priest, turned towards the people, extending and then joining his hands, adds:

The peace of the Lord be with you always.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

Sacerdos, ad populum conversus, extendens et iungens manus, subdit:

Pax Dómini sit semper vobíscum.

Populus respondet: Et cum spíritu tuo.

Then, if appropriate, the deacon, or the Priest, adds:

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

And all offer one another a sign, in keeping with local customs, that expresses peace, communion, and charity. The Priest gives the sign of peace to a deacon or minister.

Deinde, pro opportunitate, diaconus, vel sacerdos, subiungit:

Offérte vobis pacem.

Et omnes, iuxta locorum consuetudines, pacem et caritatem sibi invicem significant; sacerdos pacem dat diacono vel ministro.

FRACTIO PANIS

Then he takes the host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in the chalice, saying quietly:

May this mingling of the Body and Blood

of our Lord Jesus Christ

bring eternal life to us who receive it.

Deinde accipit hostiam eamque super patenam frangit, et particulam immittit in calicem, dicens secreto:

Hæc commíxtio Córporis et SánguinisDómini nostri Iesu Christifiat accipiéntibus nobis in vitam ætérnam.

Meanwhile the following is sung or said:

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,

have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,

have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,

grant us peace.

The invocation may even be repeated several times if the fraction is prolonged. Only the final time, however, is grant us peace said.

Interim cantatur vel dicitur:

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccáta mundi:miserére nobis.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccáta mundi:miserére nobis.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccáta mundi:dona nobis pacem.

Quod etiam pluries repeti potest, si fractio panis protrahitur. Ultima tamen vice dicitur: dona nobis pacem.

PREPARATIO PRIVATA SACERDOTIS

Then the Priest, with hands joined, says quietly:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,

who by the will of the Father

and the work of the Holy Spirit,

through your death gave life to the world;

free me by this your most holy Body and Blood

from all my sins and from every evil;

keep me always faithful to your commandments,

and never let me be parted from you.

Or:

May the receiving of your Body and Blood,

Lord Jesus Christ,

not bring me to judgment and condemnation,

but through your loving mercy

be for me protection in mind and body,

and a healing remedy.

Sacerdos deinde, manibus iunctis, dicit secreto:

Dómine Iesu Christe, Fili Dei vivi, qui ex voluntáte Patris, cooperánte Spíritu Sancto, per mortem tuam mundum vivificásti: líbera me per hoc sacrosánctum Corpus et Sánguinem tuum ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis et univérsis malis: et fac me tuis semper inhærére mandátis, et a te numquam separári permíttas.

Vel:

Percéptio Córporis et Sánguinis tui, Dómine Iesu Christe, non mihi provéniat in iudícium et condemnatiónem: sed pro tua pietáte prosit mihi ad tutaméntum mentis et córporis, et ad medélam percipiéndam.

COMMUNIO

The Priest genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten or above the chalice, while facing the people, says aloud:

Behold the Lamb of God,

behold him who takes away the sins of the world.

Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

And together with the people he adds once:

Lord, I am not worthy

that you should enter under my roof,

but only say the word

and my soul shall be healed.

Sacerdos genuflectit, accipit hostiam, eamque aliquantulum elevatam super patenam tenens, ad populum versus, clara voce dicit:

Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccáta mundi.Beáti qui ad cenam Agni vocáti sunt.

Et una cum populo semel subdit:

Dómine, non sum dignus ut intressub tectum meum:sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea.

The Priest, facing the altar, says quietly:

May the Body of Christ

keep me safe for eternal life.

And he reverently consumes the Body of Christ.

Then he takes the chalice and says quietly:

May the Blood of Christ

keep me safe for eternal life.

And he reverently consumes the Blood of Christ.

Et sacerdos, ad altare versus, secreto dicit:

Corpus Christi custódiat me in vitam ætérnam.

Et reverenter sumit Corpus Christi. Deinde accipit calicem et secreto dicit:

Sanguis Christi custódiat me in vitam ætérnam.

Et reverenter sumit Sanguinem Christi.

After this, he takes the paten or ciborium and approaches the communicants. The Priest raises a host slightly and shows it to each of the communicants, saying:

The Body of Christ.

The communicant replies:

Amen.

And receives Holy Communion.

If a deacon also distributes Holy Communion, he does so in the same manner.

Postea accipit patenam vel pyxidem, accedit ad communicandos, et hostiam parum elevatam unicuique eorum ostendit, dicens:

Corpus Christi.

Communicandus respondet: Amen.

Et communicatur.

Eo modo agit et diaconus, si sacram Communionem distribuit.

If any are present who are to receive Holy Communion under both kinds, the rite as described in the proper place is to be followed.

Si adsint sub utraque specie communicandi, servetur ritus suo loco descriptus.ANTIPHONA AD COMMUNIONEM

While the Priest is receiving the Body of Christ, the Communion Chant begins.

Dum sacerdos sumit Corpus Christi, incipit cantus ad Communionem.

When the distribution of Communion is over, the Priest or a deacon or an acolyte purifies the paten over the chalice and also the chalice itself.

While he carries out the purification, the Priest says quietly:

What has passed our lips as food, O Lord,

may we possess in purity of heart,

that what has been given to us in time

may be our healing for eternity.

Distributione Communionis expleta, sacerdos vel diaconus vel acolythus purificat patenam super calicem et ipsum calicem.

Dum purificationem peragit, sacerdos dicit secreto:

Quod ore súmpsimus, Dómine,pura mente capiámus,et de múnere temporálifiat nobis remédium sempitérnum.

SACRUM SILENTIUM

Then the Priest may return to the chair. If appropriate, a sacred silence may be observed for a while, or a psalm or other canticle of praise or a hymn may be sung.

Tunc sacerdos ad sedem redire potest. Pro opportunitate sacrum silentium, per aliquod temporis spatium, servari, vel psalmus aut canticum laudis proferri potest.

ORATIO POST COMMUNIONEM

Then, standing at the altar or at the chair and facing the people, with hands joined, the Priest says:

Let us pray.

All pray in silence with the Priest for a while, unless silence has just been observed. Then the Priest, with hands extended, says the Prayer after Communion, at the end of which the people acclaim:

Amen.

The Concluding Rites

Deinde, stans ad sedem vel ad altare, sacerdos dicit:

Orémus.

Et omnes una cum sacerdote per aliquod temporis spatium in silentio orant, nisi silentium iam præcesserit. Deinde sacerdos, manibus extensis, dicit orationem post Communionem. Populus in fine acclamat:

Amen.

RITUS CONCLUSIONIS

If they are necessary, any brief announcements to the people follow here.

Sequuntur, si habendæ sint, breves annuntiationes ad populum.

SALUTATIONE

Then the dismissal takes place. The Priest, facing the people and extending his hands, says:

The Lord be with you.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

The Priest blesses the people, saying:

May almighty God bless you:

the Father, and the Son, + and the Holy Spirit.

The people reply:

Amen.

Deinde fit dimissio. Sacerdos, versus ad populum, extendens manus, dicit:

Dóminus vobíscum.

Populus respondet: Et cum spíritu tuo.

BENEDICTIO

A.

Sacerdos benedicit populum, dicens:

Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus,Pater, et Fílius, X et Spíritus Sanctus.

Populus respondet: Amen.

Quibusdam diebus vel occasionibus, huic formulæ benedictionis præmittitur, iuxta rubricas, alia formula benedictionis sollemnior, vel oratio super populum.

B. Benedicitio solemnis

Diaconus vel ipse sacerdos:

Inclináte vos ad benedictiónem.

Deinde, sacerdos, manibus super populum extensis, dicit benedictionem, omnibus respondentibus Amen.

Sacerdos benedicit populum, dicens:

Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus,Pater, et Fílius, X et Spíritus Sanctus.

Populus respondet: Amen.

C. Oratio super populo

Diaconus vel ipse sacerdos:

Inclináte vos ad benedictiónem.

Deinde, sacerdos, manibus super populum extensis, dicit benedictionem, omnibus respondentibus Amen.

Sacerdos benedicit populum, dicens:

Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus,Pater, et Fílius, X et Spíritus Sanctus.

Populus respondet: Amen.

DIMISSIO

On certain days or occasions, this formula of blessing is preceded, in accordance with the rubrics, by another more solemn blessing formula or by a prayer over the people.

Then the deacon, or the Priest himself, with hands joined and facing the people, says:

Go forth, the Mass is ended.

Or:

Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord.

Or:

Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.

Or:

Go in peace.

The people reply:

Thanks be to God.

Deinde diaconus, vel ipse sacerdos, manibus iunctis, ad populum versus dicit:

Ite, missa est.

Populus respondet: Deo grátias.

Then the Priest venerates the altar as usual with a kiss, as at the beginning. After making a profound bow with the ministers, he withdraws.

Deinde sacerdos altare osculo de more veneratur, ut initio. Facta denique debita reverentia cum ministris, recedit.

If any liturgical action follows immediately, the rites of dismissal are omitted.

Si qua actio liturgica immediate sequatur, ritus dimissionisomittuntur.
