The Mass of the Faithful
|
|
The Offertory
|
|
The faithful sit down as the priest
uncovers the chalice, then reads the offertory verse, after which
the bell, is rung once. He
then takes the paten, in which the host is laid, and offers the
host, saying:
| |
|
Suscipe, sancte Pater, omnipotens aeterne Deus, hanc
immaculatam hostiam, quam ego indignus famulus tuus offero tibi, Deo meo
vivo et vero, pro innumerabilibus peccatis, et offensionibus, et
negligentiis meis, et pro omnibus circumstantibus, sed et pro omnibus
fidelibus christianis vivis atque defunctis: ut mihi, et illis proficiat
ad salutem in vitam aeternam. Amen.
|
|
Accept, O Holy Father, almighty and
eternal God, this spotless host, which I, Thy unworthy servant, offer unto
Thee, my living and true God, to atone for my innumerable sins, offenses,
and negligences, and for all here present; also for all faithful
christians both living and dead, that it may profit me and them for
salvation unto life everlasting. Amen.
|
| |
|
The priest makes the Sign of The Cross,
here, with the paten, and then places the host on the corporal (square
linen cloth). At the right side of the altar, he blesses the water, then
mixes together the water and wine.
|
|
Deus, † qui humanae substantiae
dignitatem mirabiliter condidisti, et mirabilius reformasti: da nobis per
hujus aquae et vini mysterium, ejusdivinitatis esse consortes, qui
humanitatis nostrae fieri dignatus est particeps, Jesus Christus Filius
tuus Dominus noster: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti
Deus: per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
|
|
O God, † Who, in creating human
nature, did wonderfully dignify it, and still more wonderfully restored
it, grant that by the Mystery of this water and wine, we may be made
partakers of His divine nature, Who vouchsafed to be made partaker of our
human nature, even Jesus Christ, our Lord, Thy Son: Who with Thee, lives
and reigns in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God: world without end.
Amen.
|
| |
|
The priest offers the
chalice.
|
|
(P): Offerimus tibi, Domine, calicem
salutaris tuam deprecantes clementiam: ut in conspectu divinae majestatis
tuae, pro nostra et totius mundi salute com odore suavitatis ascendat.
Amen.
|
|
P: We offer Thee, O Lord, the chalice of
salvation, beseeching Thy clemency, that it may ascend before Thy divine
Majesty, as a sweet fragrance, for our salvation, and for that of the
whole world. Amen.
|
| |
The priest makes
the Sign of The Cross with the chalice, places the chalice on the
corporal, covers it with the pall (small square linen covered board),
bows, and says:
|
|
In spiritu humilitatis, et in animo contrito suscipiamur a te, Domine,
et sic fiat sacrificum nostrum in conspectu tuo hodie, ut placeat tibi,
Domine Deus.
|
|
Accept us, O Lord, in our spirit of
humility and contrition of heart, and grant that the sacrifice which we
offer this day in Thy sight may be pleasing to Thee, O Lord
God.
|
| |
|
The priest lifts his eyes to Heaven, joins
his hands and so makes the Sign of The Cross over both the host and wine,
invoking The Holy Spirit by saying:
|
|
Veni, Sanctificator omnipotens aeterne Deus: et benedic † hoc sacrificum tuo sancto nomini
praeparatum.
|
|
Come, O Sanctifier, Almighty and Eternal
God, and bless † this sacrifice prepared for the glory of Thy holy
Name.
|
|
|
|
Incensing the Offerings
|
(at solemn, high
Mass)
|
The priest blesses the
incense:
| |
|
Per intercessionem beati Michaelis Archangeli, stantis a dextris
altaris incensi, et omnium electorum suorum, incensum istud dignetur
Dominus benedicere, † et in odorem
suavitatis accipere. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
|
|
Through the intercession of Blessed
Michael the Archangel, standing at the right hand of the altar of incense,
and of all His elect may the Lord vouchsafe to bless † this incense and to receive
it in the odor of sweetness. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
|
The priest incenses
the bread and wine:
|
|
Incensum istud a te benedictum, ascendat ad re, Domine, et descendat
super nos misericordia tua.
|
|
May this incense blessed by You, arise
before You, O Lord, and may Your mercy come down upon us.
|
The priest incenses
the Crucifix, and the altar, saying:
|
|
Dirigatur, Domine, oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo: elevatio
manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum. Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et
ostium circumstantiae labiis meis: ut non declinet cor meum in verba
malitiae, ad excsandas excusationes in peccatis. Accendat in nobis Dominus
ignem sui amoris, et flammam aeterne caritatis. Amen.
|
|
Let my prayer, O Lord, come like incense
before You; the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice. O
Lord, set a watch before my mouth, a guard at the door of my lips. Let not
my heart incline to the evil of engaging in deeds of wickedness. May the
Lord enkindle in us the fire of His love and the flame of everlasting
charity. Amen.
|
|
|
|
Washing of the Hands
|
(Psalm
25:6-12)
| |
|
Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas: et circumdabo altare tuum, Domine.
Ut audiam vocem laudis: et enarrem universa mirabila tua. Domine, dilexi
decorem domus tuae: et locum habitationis gloriae tuae. Ne perdas cum
impiis, Deus animam meam: et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam: in quorum
manibus iniquitates sunt: dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.
|
|
I will wash my hands among the innocence,
and I go around Thine altar, O Lord, that I may hear the voice of praise:
and tell of all Thy wondrous deeds. I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of
Thy house and the place where dwells Thy glory. Take not my soul, O God,
with the wicked, nor my life with bloodthirsty men. In whose hands are
iniquities, their right hand is full of gifts.
|
|
Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum: redime me, et miserere mei.
Pes meus stetit in directo: in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.
|
|
But I have walked in my innocence: redeem
me, and have mercy on me. My foot stands on level ground; in the churches
I will bless Thee, O Lord.
|
|
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et
nunc, et semper: et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
|
|
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall
be, world without end. Amen.
|
|
|
|

silently:
| |
|
Hanc igitur oblationem servitutis nostrae,
sed et cunctae familiae tuae quaesumus, Domine, ut placatus accipias:
diesque nostros in tua pace disponas, atque ab aeterna damnatione nos

And do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all
respects to bless †, consecrate †, and approve † this our oblation, to perfect it and to render it well-pleasing

Qui pridie quam pateretur, accepit panem in sanctas ac venerabiles
manus suas, et elevatis oculis in coelum ad te Deum Patrem suum
omnipotentem tibi gratias agens, benedixit †, fregit, diditque discipulis suis, dicens:
Accipite, et manducate ex hoc omnes,

He then stands and elevates Our Lord
for the faithful to venerate and adore, each saying silently to
themselves with faith, piety and love - My Lord and my
God!
|
|
The priest places Our Lord on the
corporal and kneels/genuflects, again, to adore Him.
|
|
| |
|
The priest uncovers the chalice and
continues:

Victim.

Memento etiam, Domine, famulorum famularumque tuarum N. et N. qui nos

words:
| |
|
Nobis quoque peccatoribus famulis tuis, de

Stephano, Matthia, Barnaba, Ignatio, Alexandro, Marcellino, Petro,
Felicitate, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucia, Agnete, Caecilia, Anastasis, et
omnibus Sanctis tuis: intra quorum nos consortium, non aestimator meritim

in the multitude of Thy mercy, vouchsafe to grant some part and fellowship
with Thy Holy Apostles and Martyrs, with John, Stephen, Matthias,
Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua,

|
The priest says
audibly:
| |

Pater noster, qui es in coelis: sanctificetur nomen tuum: adveniat
regnum tuum: fiat voluntas tua, sicut in coelo, et in terra. Panem nostrum
quotibianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos
dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in
tentationem:
|
|
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be
Thy Name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

be always free from sin and safe from all disturbance.
|
| |
|
The priest breaks the Host in half, over
the chalice, then breaks off a particle, saying:
|
|
Per eundem Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium tuum. Qui tecum vivit
et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus. Per omnia saecula
saeculorum.
|
|
Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son,
our Lord, Who lives and reigns with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, world without end.

S: Amen.
|
|
|
|

|
|
P: The peace † of the Lord be † always † with you.
|
|

aeternam. Amen.

eamque secundum voluntatem tuam pacificare et coadunare digneris: qui
vivis et regnas Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
|
|
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who has said to Thine
Apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; regard not my sins, but
the faith of Thy Church, and vouchsafe to grant her peace and unity
according to Thy Will: Who lives and reigns God, world without end.
Amen.

Prayer for Sanctification
|
|
Domine Jesu Christe, Fili Dei vivi, qui ex voluntate Patris, cooperante
Spiritu Sancto, per mortem tuam mundum vivificasti: lebera me per hoc
sacrosanctum Corpus et Sanguinem tuum ab omnibus iniquitatibus meis, et
universis malis: et fac me tuis semper inhaerere mandatis, et a te numquam
separari permittas. Qui cum eodem Deo Parte et Spiritu Sancto vivis et
regnas Deus in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
|
|
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,
Who, by the will of the Father, with the cooperation of the Holy Spirit,
has by Thy death given life to the world; deliver me by this Thy most
sacred Body and Blood, from all my sins and from all evil. Make me always
cleave to Thy Commandments, and never permit me to be separated from Thee,
Who with the same God the Father and the Holy Spirit, live and reign, God,
world without end. Amen.
|
|
|
Prayer for Grace
|
|
Perceptio Corporis tui, Domine Jesu Christe, quod ego indinus sumere
praesumo, non mihi proveniat in judicium et condemnationen; sed pro tua
pietate prosit mihi ad tutamentum mentis et corporis, et ad medelam
percipiendam. Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre in unitate Spiritus Sancti
Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
|
|
Let not the partaking of Thy Body, Lord
Jesus Christ, which I, though unworthy, presume to receive, turn to my
judgment and condemnation; but through Thy Goodness, let it become a
safeguard and an effective remedy, both for soul and body; Who with God
the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, live and reign God, world
without end. Amen.
|
|
|
Communion of The Body for the Priest
|
|
Panem coelestem accipiam, et nomen Domini invocabo.
|
|
I will take the Bread of heaven, and will
call upon the Name of the Lord.
|
| |
With the Host is
his left hand, the priest audibly for the first few words, says 3 times,
striking his breast each time:
|
|
Domine, non sum dignus, et intres sub tectum
meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanabitur anima mea.
|
|
Lord, I am not worthy that Thou should
enter under my roof; say but the word and my soul shall be
healed.
|
| |
With the Host now
in his right hand, the priest makes the Sign of the Cross over the
paten:
|
|
Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam meam in vitam
aeternam. Amen.
|
|
The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve
my soul unto life everlasting. Amen.
|
| |
The priest
reverently receives both halves of The Host.
|
|
|
Communion of
The Precious Blood
|
The priest uncovers the
chalice, genuflects, collects any remaining Fragments from the Host
off the corporal, and purifies the paten over the chalice,
saying:
| |
|
Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quae retribuit mihi? Calicem
salutaris accipiam, et nomen Domini invoacbo. Laudans invocabo Dominum, et
ab inimicis meis salvus ero.
|
|
What return shall I render unto the Lord
for all He has given me? I will take the chalice of salvation, and I will
call upon the Name of the Lord. Praising I will call upon the Lord, and I
shall be saved from all my enemies.
|
| |
The priest takes
the chalice in his right hand, and making the Sign of the Cross
says:
|
|
Sanguis Domini nostri Jesu Christi custiodiat animam meam in vitam
aeternam. Amen.
|
|
The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
preserve my soul to life everlasting. Amen.

(which holds the other consecrated Hosts), turns around to the faithful
and says:
|
|
Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccata mundi.
|
|
Behold the Lamb of God, behold Him who
takes away the sins of the world.

verbo, et sanabitur anima mea.
|
|
Lord, I am not worthy that Thou should
enter under my roof; say but the word and my soul shall be

aeternam. Amen.
|

Prayers during the
Ablutions |
Wine is poured into the
chalice, which the priest drinks, and says:
| |
|
Quod ore sumpisimus, Domine, pura mente capiamus, et de munere
temporali fiat nobis remedium sempiternum.
|
|
Grant, O Lord, that what we have taken
with our mouth, we may receive with a pure mind; and from a temporal gift
may it become to us an eternal remedy.
|
| |
The server pours
water and wine over the fingers of the priest, into the chalice, who dries
his fingers with the purificator cloth, and says,
silently:
|
|
Corpus tuum, Domine, quod sumpsi, et Sanguis, quem potavi, adhaereat
visceribus meis: et praest; ut in me non ramaneat scelerum macula, quem
pura et sancta refecerunt Sacramenta. Qui vivis et regnas in saecula
saeculorum, Amen.
|
|
May Thy Body, O Lord, which I have
received, and Thy Blood which I have drunk, cling to my inmost being; and
grant that no stain of sin may remain in me, who has been fed with this
pure and holy Sacrament; Who live reign, world without end.
Amen.
|
The priest drinks
the water and wine mixture, then wipes the inside of the chalice (purifies
it) with the same cloth, and covers it with the veil.
|
| |
|

acceptabile, mihique, et omnibus proquibus illud obtuli, sit te miserante
propitiabile. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

The Last Gospel
|
[John 1:
1-14]
|
The faithful now stand
for the last Gospel.
| |
|
(P): Dominus vobiscum.
|
|
P: The Lord be with you.
|
|
(S): Et cum spiritu tuo.
|
|
S: And with thy spirit.
|
|
(P): † Initium
sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
|
|
P: † The beginning of the holy
Gospel according to St. John.
|
|
(S): Gloria tibi, Domine.
|
|
S: Glory be to Thee, O
Lord.
|
|
(P): In principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat
apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in principio apud Deum. Omnia per
ipsum facta sunt, et sine ipso factum est nihil quod factum est; in ipso
vita erat, et vita erat lux hominum; et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebrae
eam non comprehenderunt.
|
|
P: In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it
not.
|
|
Fuit homo missus a Deo cui nomen erat Joannes. Hic cenit in
testimonium, et testimonium perhiberet de lumine, ut omnes crederent per
illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine. Erat
lux vera quae illuminat omnem hominem venientem in hunc mundum. In mundo
erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est et mundus eum non cognovit. In
propria venit, et sui eum non receperunt. Quotquot autem receperunt eum,
dedit eis potestatem filios Dei fieri; his qui credunt in nomine eius, qui
non ex sanquinibus, neque ex voluntate viri, sed ex deo nati
sunt.
|
|
There was a man sent from God, whose name
was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that
all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to
bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own
received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God.
|
Everyone
genuflects:
|
|
ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST
|
|
AND THE WORD WAS MADE
FLESH,
|
|
et habitabit in nobis; et vidimus gloriam eius gloiram quasi Unigenti a
Patre, plenum gratiae et veritatis.
|
|
and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory,
the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and
truth.
|
|
(S): Deo gratias.
|
|
S: Thanks be to
God.
