| Incipit Sacerdos paratus cum ingreditur ad Altare, facta illi debita reverentia, signat se signo crucis a fronte ad pectus, et clara voce dicit: In nómine Patris, ✠ et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Amen. | 2 BeginningThe priest, bowing down at the foot of the altar, makes the Sign of the Cross, from his forehead to his breast, and says: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, ✠ and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. |
| Deinde, iunctis manibus ante pectus, incipit Antiphonam: S. Introíbo ad altáre Dei. M. Ad Deum, qui lætíficat iuventútem meam. Postea alternatim cum Ministris dicit sequentem: Ps. 42, 1-5. S. Iúdica me, Deus, et discérne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab hómine iníquo et dolóso érue me. M. Quia tu es, Deus, fortitúdo mea: quare me repulísti, et quare tristis incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus? S. Emítte lucem tuam et veritátem tuam: ipsa me deduxérunt, et adduxérunt in montem sanctum tuum et in tabernácula tua. M. Et introíbo ad altáre Dei: ad Deum, qui lætíficat iuventútem meam. S. Confitébor tibi in cíthara, Deus, Deus meus: quare tristis es, ánima mea, et quare contúrbas me? M. Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus. S. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. M. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: et in saecula sæculórum. Amen. Sacerdos repetit Antiphonam: S. Introíbo ad altáre Dei. M. Ad Deum, qui lætíficat iuventútem meam. | 3 Then joining his hands before his breast, he begins the Anthem:P. I will go in unto the altar of God. S. To God who giveth joy to my youth. The priest alternates with the server in reciting this psalm to express his desire, joy and confidence in going to the altar of the Sacrifice. Ps. 42, 1-5. P. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation which is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man. S. For Thou, O God, art my strength: why hast Thou cast me off? and why go I sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me? P. Send forth Thy light and Thy truth: they have conducted me and brought me unto Thy holy mount, and into Thy tabernacles. S. And I will go into the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth. P. To Thee, O God, my God, I will give praise upon the harp; why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou disquiet me? S. Hope in God, for I will still give praise to Him: the salvation of my countenance and my God. P. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. S. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. The priest repeats the Anthem: P. I will go in unto the altar of God. S. To God who giveth joy to my youth. |

Confíteor Deo omnipoténti, beátæ Maríæ semper Vírgini, beáto Michaéli Archángelo, beáto Ioánni Baptístæ, sanctis Apóstolis Petro et Paulo, ómnibus Sanctis, et vobis, fratres: quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo et opere: Percutit sibi pectus ter, dicens: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa.

Amen. | 4 The priest, signing himself with the Sign of the Cross, says:P. Our help ✠ is in the Name of the Lord. S. Who made heaven and earth. Then, joining his hands, and humbly bowing down, he says the Confiteor: P. I confess to almighty God, to the blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, to all the Saints, and to you, brothers, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed, Here he strikes his breast thrice. through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.

| Et inclinatus prosequitur: V. Deus, tu convérsus vivificábis nos. R. Et plebs tua lætábitur in te. V. Osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam. R. Et salutáre tuum da nobis. V. Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam. R. Et clamor meus ad te véniat. V. Dóminus vobíscum. R. Et cum spíritu tuo. Et extendens ac iungens manus, clara voce dicit: Orémus, ei ascendens ad Altare, dicit secreto: Aufer a nobis, quaesumus, Dómine, iniquitátes nostras: ut ad Sancta sanctórum puris mereámur méntibus introíre. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen. Deinde, manibus iunctis super Altare, inclinatus dicit: Orámus te, Dómine, per mérita Sanctórum tuórum, Osculatur Altare in medio quorum relíquiæ hic sunt, et ómnium Sanctórum: ut indulgére dignéris ómnia peccáta mea.

O Lord, hear my prayer. S. And let my cry come before Thee. P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. First extending, then joining his hands, the priest says audibly: "Let us pray". Then ascending to the altar, he says secretly: Let us pray. Take away from us our iniquities, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that we may be worthy to enter with pure minds into the Holy of Holies, through Christ our Lord. Amen. His hands joined, and bowing down over the altar, the priest says: We beseech Thee, O Lord, by the merits of Thy Saints, He kisses the sacred stone whose relics are here, and of all the Saints, that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to forgive me all my sins. Amen. |

| Gloria Postea in medio Altaris extendens et iungens manus, caputque aliquantulum inclínans, dicit, si dicendum est, Glória in excélsis Deo, et prosequitur iunctis manibus. Cum dicit Adorámus te, Grátias agimus tibi, et Iesu Christe, et Suscipe deprecatiónem, inclinat caput; et in fine dicens: Cum Sancto Spíritu, signat se a fronte ad pectus. Glória in excélsis Deo. Et in terra pax homínibus bonæ voluntátis. Laudámus te. Benedícimus te. Adorámus te. Glorificámus te. Grátias ágimus tibi propter magnam glóriam tuam.

Cum Sancto Spíritu ✠ in glória Dei Patris. Amen. | 8 GloriaAfterwards, standing at the middle of the altar, extending and then joining his hands,and bowing slightly, the priest says — except during Lent, Advent and in Masses for the Dead — the Gloria. When he says the words: We adore Thee, We give Thee thanks; Jesus Christ; and Receive our prayer, he bows, and at the end he signs himself with the Sign of the Cross from forehead to breast: Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace to men of good will. We praise Thee. We bless Thee. We adore Thee. We glorify Thee. We give Thee thanks for Thy great glory. O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father almighty. O Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son. O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father. Who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Who takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Who sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For Thou only are holy. Thou only art the Lord. Thou only art most high, O Jesus Christ. Together with the Holy Ghost ✠ in the glory of God the Father. Amen. |
| Oratio Deinde osculatur Altare in medio, et versus ad populum dicit: V. Dóminus vobíscum. R. Et cum spiritu tuo. Postea dicit: Orémus, et Orationes, unam aut plures, ut ordo Officii postulat. Sequitur Epistola, Graduale, Tractus, vel Allelúia cum Versu, aut Sequentia, prout Tempus aut qualitas Missæ postulat. Orémus. Da nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine, imitári quod cólimus: ut discámus et inimícos dilígere; quia eius natalícia celebrámus, qui novit étiam pro persecutóribus exoráre Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen. Orémus. Pro Octava Nativitatis Concéde, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut nos Unigénititui nova per carnem Natívitas líberet; quos sub peccáti iugo vetústa sérvitus tenet. Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen. | 9 CollectThen the priest kisses the altar, and turning to the people says: V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. The Collects mean the collected prayers of all the faithful assisting at the Holy Sacrifice. Raising his voice, his hands, and his sentiments to God, the priest excites the faithful to unite their prayers with his. Let us pray. Grant us, we beseech You, O Lord, to imitate what we celebrate, so that we may learn to love even our enemies; because we keep the anniversary of the death of Him Who knew how to plead even for His persecutors with our Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. R. Amen Let us pray. For Octave of the Nativity Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that the new birth, in the flesh, of Your only-begotten Son may deliver us whom the bondage of old keeps under the yoke of sin. Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen. |
| Lectio Lectio Actuum Apostolorum. Act 6:8-10; 7:54-59 In diebus illis: Stéphanus plenus grátia et fortitúdine, faciébat prodígia et signa magna in pópulo. Surrexérunt autem quidam de synagóga, quæ appellátur Libertinórum, et Cyrenénsium, et Alexandrinórum, et eórum, qui erant a Cilícia et Asia, disputántes cum Stéphano: et non póterant resístere sapiéntiæ et Spirítui, qui loquebátur. Audiéntes autem hæc, dissecabántur córdibus suis, et stridébant déntibus in eum. Cum autem esset Stéphanus plenus Spíritu Sancto, inténdens in cœlum, vidit glóriam Dei, et Iesum stantem a dextris Dei. Et ait: Ecce, vídeo cœlos apértos, et Fílium hóminis stantem a dextris Dei. Exclamántes autem voce magna continuérunt aures suas, et ímpetum fecerunt unanímiter in eum. Et eiiciéntes eum extra civitatem, lapidábant: et testes deposuérunt vestiménta sua secus pedes adolescéntis, qui vocabátur Saulus. Et lapidábant Stéphanum invocántem et dicéntem: Dómine Iesu, súscipe spíritum meum. Pósitis autem génibus, clamávit voce magna, dicens: Dómine, ne státuas illis hoc peccátum. Et cum hoc dixísset, obdormívit in Dómino. R. Deo grátias. | 10 LessonLesson from the Acts of Apostles Acts 6:8-10; 7:54-59 In those days, Stephen, full of grace and power, was working great wonders and signs among the people. But there arose some from the synagogue which is called that of the Freedmen, and of the Cyrenians and of the Alexandrians and of those from Cilicia and the province of Asia, disputing with Stephen. And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit Who spoke. Now as they heard these things, they were cut to the heart and gnashed their teeth at him. But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; and he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed upon him all together. And they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. And while they were stoning Stephen he prayed and said, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, saying, Lord, do not lay this sin against them. And with these words he fell asleep. R. Thanks be to God. |
| Graduale Ps 118:23; 118:86 Sedérunt príncipes, et advérsum me loquebántur: et iníqui persecúti sunt me. Ps 6:5 Adiuva me, Dómine, Deus meus: salvum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam. Allelúia, allelúia. Act 7:56. V. Vídeo cœlos apértos, et Iesum stantem a dextris virtútis Dei. Allelúia. | 11 GradualPs 118:23, 86 Princes met and talked against me, and the wicked persecuted me wrongfully. Ps 6:5 V. Help me, O Lord my God: rescue me because of Your kindness. Alleluia, alleluia. Acts 7:56 I see the heavens opened, and Jesus standing on the right hand of the power of God. Alleluia. |
| Evangelium Si vero Sacerdos sine Diacono et Subdiacono celebrat, delato libro ad aliud cornu Altaris, inclinatus in medio, iunctis manibus dicit: Munda cor meum, ac labia mea, omnípotens Deus, qui labia Isaíæ Prophétæ cálculo mundásti igníto: ita me tua grata miseratióne dignáre mundáre, ut sanctum Evangélium tuum digne váleam nuntiáre. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen. Iube, Dómine, benedícere. Dóminus sit in corde meo et in lábiis meis: ut digne et competénter annúntiem Evangélium suum. Amen. Deinde, conversus ad librum, iunctis manibus, dicit: V. Dóminus vobíscum. R. Et cum spíritu tuo. Et pronuntians: Inítium, sive Sequéntia sancti Evangélii, signat librum, et se in fronte, ore et pectore, et legit Evangelium, ut dictum est. Quo finito, respondet Minister: Laus tibi, Christe, et Sacerdos osculatur Evangelium, dicens: per evangelica dicta, ut supra. Sequéntia +︎ sancti Evangélii secundum Matthǽum. R. Glória tibi, Dómine. Matt 23:34-39 In illo témpore: Dicébat Iesus scribis et pharisæis: Ecce, ego mitto ad vos prophétas, et sapiéntes, et scribas, et ex illis occidétis et crucifigétis, et ex eis flagellábitis in synagógis vestris, et persequémini de civitáte in civitátem: ut véniat super vos omnis sanguis iustus, qui effúsus est super terram, a sánguine Abel iusti usque ad sánguinem Zacharíæ, filii Barachíæ, quem occidístis inter templum et altáre. Amen, dico vobis, vénient hæc ómnia super generatiónem istam. Ierúsalem, Ierúsalem, quæ occídis prophétas, et lápidas eos, qui ad te missi sunt, quóies vólui congregáre fílios tuos, quemádmodum gallína cóngregat pullos suos sub alas, et noluísti? Ecce, relinquétur vobis domus vestra desérta. Dico enim vobis, non me vidébitis ámodo, donec dicátis: Benedíctus, qui venit in nómine Dómini. R. Laus tibi, Christe. S. Per Evangélica dicta, deleántur nostra delícta. | 12 GospelThe Missal is transferred to the other side of the altar. At Low Masses, the priest, bowing down at the middle of the altar, with his hands joined, says: Cleanse my heart and my lips, O almighty God, who didst cleanse the lips of the prophet Isaias with a burning coal, and vouchsafe, through Thy gracious mercy, so to purify me, that I may worthily announce Thy holy Gospel. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Give me Thy blessing, O Lord. The Lord be in my heart and on my lips, that I may worthily and in a becoming manner, proclaim His holy Gospel. Amen. P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. Matt 23:34-39 At that time, Jesus said to the Scribes and Pharisees, Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from town to town; that upon you may come all the just blood that has been shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the just unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar. Amen I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. Jerusalem, Jerusalem! you who kill the prophets, and stone those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you would not! Behold, your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, you shall not see Me henceforth until you shall say, Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord! R. Praise be to Thee, O Christ. S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out. |
| Credo Deinde ad medium Altaris extendens, elevans et iungens manus, dicit, si dicendum est, Credo in unum Deum, et prosequitur iunctis manibus. Cum dicit Deum, caput Cruci inclinat: quod similiter facit, cum dicit Iesum Christum, et simul adorátur. Ad illa autem verba Et incarnátus est, genuflectit usque dum dicatur Et homo factus est. In fine ad Et vitam ventúri saeculi, signat se signo crucis a fronte ad pectus. Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, factórem coeli et terræ, visibílium ómnium et invisibílium. Et in unum Dóminum Iesum Christum, Fílium Dei unigénitum. Et ex Patre natum ante ómnia saecula. 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 salútem descéndit de coelis. Hic genuflectitur Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sancto ex 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 coelum: 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 adorátur et conglorificátur: qui locútus est per Prophétas. Et unam sanctam cathólicam et apostólicam Ecclésiam. Confíteor unum baptísma in remissiónem peccatórum. Et exspécto resurrectiónem mortuórum. Et vitam ventúri saeculi. Amen. | 13 CreedOn Sundays and certain Feasts the priest recites the Creed, a summary of the Catholic Doctrine. This profession of faith was drawn up in the General Councils of Nicaea in 325 and Constantinople in 381 to condemn heretics who denied that Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost were God. I believe in one God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things, visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. And born of the Father, before all ages. God of God: Light of Light: true God of true God. Begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven. Here kneel down. And became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary: and was made man. He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, proceeding from the Father and the Son. Who together, with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified: Who spoke by the prophets. And in one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the resurrection of the dead. And the life of the world to come. Amen. |
| Offertorium Deinde osculatur Altare, et versus ad populum, dicit: V. Dóminus vobíscum. R. Et cum spíritu tuo. Postea dicit: Orémus, et Offertorium. Orémus Act 6:5; 7:59 Elegérunt Apóstoli Stéphanum Levítam, plenum fide et Spíritu Sancto: quem lapidavérunt Iudæi orántem, et dicéntem: Dómine Iesu, áccipe spíritum meum, allelúia. | 14 OffertoryThe priest kisses the altar, and turning to the people says: P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. After saluting the people once more, the priest enters upon the Sacrifice of the Mass proper and urges the faithful to pray with him. Let us pray. Acts 6:5; 7:59 The Apostles chose Stephen to be a levite, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit: whom the Jews stoned, praying and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Alleluia. |
| Quo dicto, si est Missa sollemnis, Diaconus porrigit Celebranti Patenam cum Hostia: si privata, Sacerdos ipse accipit Patenam cum Hostia, quam offerens, dicit: Suscipe, sancte Pater, omnipotens ætérne Deus, hanc immaculátam hóstiam, quam ego indígnus fámulus tuus óffero tibi Deo meo vivo et vero, pro innumerabílibus peccátis, et offensiónibus, et neglegéntiis meis, et pro ómnibus circumstántibus, sed et pro ómnibus fidélibus christiánis vivis atque defúnctis: ut mihi, et illis profíciat ad salútem in vitam ætérnam. Amen. | 15 Then the priest reads the Offertory-verse, a short quotation from Holy Scripture which varies with the Mass of each day. This being finished, he offers the bread and wine, which, by virtue of the words of consecration, he is going to change into the adorable Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. He takes the paten with the host and offering it up, says:Accept, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this unspotted host, which I, Thy unworthy servant, offer unto Thee, my living and true God, for my innumerable sins, offenses, and negligences, and for all here present: as also for all faithful Christians, both living and dead, that it may avail both me and them for salvation unto life everlasting. Amen. |
| Deinde faciens crucem cum eadem Patena, deponit Hostiam super Corporale. Diaconus ministrat vinum, Subdiaconus aquam in Calice: vel si privata est Missa, utrumque infundit Sacerdos, et aquam miscendam in Calice benedicit signo crucis, dicens: Deus, qui humánæ substántiæ dignitátem mirabíliter condidísti, et mirabílius reformásti: da nobis per huius aquæ et vini mystérium, eius divinitátis esse consórtes, qui humanitátis nostræ fíeri dignátus est párticeps, Iesus Christus, Fílius tuus, Dóminus noster: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus: per ómnia saecula sæculórum. Amen. | 16 Making the Sign of the Cross with the paten, he places the host upon the corporal. He pours wine and water into the chalice, blessing the water before it is mixed. He pours a few drops of water into the chalice containing wine, in remembrance of the water and blood which flowed from the side of Jesus when pierced by the soldier's lance.O God, who, in creating human nature, didst wonderfully dignify it, and still more wonderfully restore 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, liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God: world without end. Amen. |
| Postea accipit Calicem, et offert dicens: Offérimus tibi, Dómine, cálicem salutáris, tuam deprecántes cleméntiam: ut in conspéctu divínæ maiestátis tuæ, pro nostra et totíus mundi salute, cum odóre suavitátis ascéndat.

| Particulam ipsam immittit in Calicem, dicens secrete: Haec commíxtio, et consecrátio Córporis et Sánguinis Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, fiat accipiéntibus nobis in vitam ætérnam. Amen. Cooperit Calicem, genuflectit, surgit, et inclinatus Sacramento, iunctis manibus, et ter pectus percutiens, intellegibili voce dicit: | 39 He puts the Particle into the Chalice, saying:May this mixture and consecration of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ be to us who receive it effectual unto eternal life. Amen. He covers the Chalice, genuflects and rises; than bowing down and striking his breast thrice, he says: |
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. | 40 Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant us peace. |
| Deinde, iunctis manibus super Altare, inclinatus dicit secrete sequentes Orationes: Dómine Iesu Christe, qui dixísti Apóstolis tuis: Pacem relínquo vobis, pacem meam do vobis: ne respícias peccáta mea, sed fidem Ecclésiæ tuæ; eámque secúndum voluntátem tuam pacificáre et coadunáre dignéris: Qui vivis et regnas Deus per ómnia saecula sæculórum. Amen. | 41 With his hands joined and resting on the altar, standing inclined, he says the three following prayers:O Lord Jesus Christ, who saidst 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 that peace and unity which is agreeable to Thy will: Who livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen. |
| 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: Qui cum eódem Deo Patre et Spíritu Sancto vivis et regnas Deus in saecula sæculórum. Amen. | O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who, according to the will of Thy Father, with the cooperation of the Holy Ghost, hast by Thy death given life to the world; deliver me by this Thy most sacred Body and Blood, from all my iniquities and from all evils; and make me always cleave to Thy commandments, and suffer me never to be separated from Thee, Who livest and reignest, with the same God the Father and the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen. |
| Percéptio Córporis tui, Dómine Iesu Christe, quod ego indígnus súmere præsúmo, non mihi provéniat in iudícium et condemnatiónem: sed pro tua pietáte prosit mihi ad tutaméntum mentis et córporis, et ad medélam percipiéndam: Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia saecula sæculórum. Amen. | Let not the partaking of Thy Body, O Lord, Jesus Christ, which I, though unworthy, presume to receive, turn to my judgment and condemnation; but let it, through Thy mercy, become a safeguard and remedy, both for soul and body; Who with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen. |
| Genuflectit, surgit, et dicit: Panem coeléstem accipiam, et nomen Dómini invocábo. Deinde parum inclinatus, accipit ambas partes Hostiæ inter pollicem et indicem sinistræ manus, et Patenam inter eundem indicem et medium supponit, et dextera tribus vicibus percutiens pectus, elata aliquantulum voce, ter dicit devote et humiliter: V. Dómine, non sum dignus, Et secrete prosequitur: ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. V. Dómine, non sum dignus, Et secrete prosequitur: ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. V. Dómine, non sum dignus, Et secrete prosequitur: ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. | 44 The priest genuflects, rises and says:I will take the Bread of heaven, and will call upon the Name of the Lord. Slightly inclining, he takes both halves of the Host between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, and the paten between the same forefinger and the middle one; then striking his breast with his right hand, and raising his voice a little, he says three times devoutly and humbly: V. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed. V. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed. V. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed. |
| Postea dextera se signans cum Hostia super Patenam, dicit: Corpus Dómini nostri Iesu Christi custódiat ánimam meam in vitam ætérnam. Amen. Et se inclinans, reverenter sumit ambas partes Hostiæ: quibus sumptis, deponit Patenam super Corporale, et erigens se iungit manus, et quiescit aliquantulum in meditatione Sanctissimi Sacramenti. | 45 Then with his right hand, making the Sign of the Cross with the Host over the paten, he says:The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen. He then reverently receives both halves of the Host, joins his hands, and meditates a short time. |
| Deinde discooperit Calicem, genuflectit, colligit fragmenta, si quæ sint, extergit Patenam super Calicem, interim dicens: Quid retríbuam Dómino pro ómnibus, quæ retríbuit mihi? Cálicem salutáris accípiam, et nomen Dómini invocábo. Laudans invocábo Dóminum, et ab inimícis meis salvus ero. Accipit Calicem manu dextera, et eo se signans, dicit: Sanguis Dómini nostri Iesu Christi custódiat ánimam meam in vitam ætérnam. Amen. Et sinistra supponens Patenam Calici, reverenter sumit totum Sanguinem cum particula. Quo sumpto, si qui sunt communicandi, eos communicet, antequam se purificet | 46 Then he uncovers the Chalice, genuflects, collects whatever fragments may remain on the corporal, and purifies the paten over the Chalice, saying:What return shall I make to the Lord for all He has given to me? I will take the chalice of salvation, and call upon the Name of the Lord. Praising I will call upon the Lord, and I shall be saved from my enemies. The priest takes the Chalice and making the Sign of the Cross with it, says: The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen. Then he receives all the Precious Blood, together with the Particle. |
| Communio | 47 Communio |
| Postea dicit: Quod ore súmpsimus, Dómine, pura mente capiámus: et de munere temporáli fiat nobis remédium sempitérnum. Interim porrigit Calicem ministro, qui infundit in eo parum vini, quo se purificat: deinde prosequitur: Corpus tuum, Dómine, quod sumpsi, et Sanguis, quem potávi, adhaereat viscéribus meis: et præsta; ut in me non remáneat scélerum mácula, quem pura et sancta refecérunt sacraménta: Qui vivis et regnas in saecula sæculórum. Amen. Abluit et extergit digitos, ac sumit ablutionem: extergit os et Calicem, quem, plicato Corporali, operit et collocat in Altari ut prius: deinde prosequitur Missam. | 48 The priest says silently: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. Then he holds out the Chalice to the server -- in Solemn Masses to the deacon -- who pours wine into it for the first ablution, then the priest proceeds: May Thy Body, O Lord, which I have received, and Thy Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my bowels; and grant that no stain of sin may remain in me, who have been fed with this pure and holy Sacrament; Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen. The priest then washes his fingers and receives the second ablution. Then he covers the chalice and folding the corporal, places it on the chalice, as at the beginning of Mass, and goes to the right side of the altar to say the prayers from the Missal. |
| Communio Act 7:56; 7:59; 7:60 Vídeo cœlos apértos, et Iesum stantem a dextris virtútis Dei: Dómine Iesu, accipe spíritum meum, et ne státuas illis hoc peccátum. | 49 CommunionActs 7:56, 59-60 I see the heavens opened, and Jesus standing on the right hand of the power of God: Lord Jesus receive my spirit, and do not lay this sin against them. |
| Postcommunio Dicta antiphona ad Communionem, osculatur altare, et versus ad populum dicit : S. Dóminus vobíscum. R. Et cum spíritu tuo. Deinde, reversus ad altare, dicit : Orémus. Auxiliéntur nobis, Dómine, sumpta mystéria: et, intercedénte beáto Stéphano Mártyre tuo, sempitérna protectióne confírment. Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen. Orémus. Pro Octava Nativitatis Præsta, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut natus hodie Salvátor mundi, sicut divínæ nobis generatiónis est auctor; ita et immortalitátis sit ipse largítor: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen. | 50 Post CommunionThe priest kisses the altar. Then he turns to the people, and says or sings: P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. Let us pray. May the sacrament we have received aid us, O Lord; and by the intercession of blessed Stephen, Your Martyr, may it sustain us under Your everlasting protection. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. R. Amen. Let us pray. For Octave of the Nativity Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that the Saviour of the world, born this day, Who is the author of our birth in godliness, may bestow on us immortal life. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. R. Amen |
| Conclusio Dicto, post ultimam Orationem, S. Dóminus vobíscum. M. Et cum spíritu tuo, dicit pro Missæ qualitate, vel Ite, Missa est, vel Benedicámus Dómino. Deo grátias. | 51 ConclusionHe turns to the people and says: P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. |
| V. Ite, Missa est. R. Deo grátias. | 52 V. Go, the Mass is ended.R. Thanks be to God. |
| Tunc celebrans inclinat se ante medium altaris, et manibus iunctis super illud, dicit secrete: Pláceat tibi, sancta Trínitas, obséquium servitútis meæ: et præsta; ut sacrifícium, quod óculis tuæ maiestátis indígnus óbtuli, tibi sit acceptábile, mihíque et ómnibus, pro quibus illud óbtuli, sit, te miseránte, propitiábile. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen. | 53 May the performance of my homage be pleasing to Thee, O holy Trinity: and grant that the Sacrifice which I, though unworthy, have offered up in the sight of Thy Majesty, may be acceptable to Thee, and through Thy mercy, be a propitiation for me, and for all those for whom I have offered it. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. |
| Deinde osculatur Altare: et elevatis oculis, extendens, elevans et iungens manus, caputque Cruci inclínans, dicit: Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, et versus ad populum, semel tantum benedícens, etiam in Missis sollemnibus; In Missa Pontificali ter benedicitur, ut in Pontificali habetur. Deinde prosequitur: Pater, et Fílius, ✠ et Spíritus Sanctus. R. Amen. | 54 He kisses the altar, and raising his eyes, extending, raising and joining his hands, he bows down his head and says:P. May almighty God the Father, Son, ✠ and Holy Ghost, bless you. S. Amen. |
| Deinde sacerdos in cornu Evangelii, iunctis manibus dicit: V. Dominus vobiscum. R. Et cum spiritu tuo. Et signans signo crucis primum Altare vel librum, deinde se in fronte, ore et pectore, dicit: Initium +︎ sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem R. Glória tibi, Dómine. Ioann. 1, 1-14. Iunctis manibus prosequitur: In princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est: in ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hóminum: et lux in ténebris lucet, et ténebræ eam non comprehendérunt. Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Ioánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine. Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt. Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine eius: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. Genuflectit dicens: Et Verbum caro factum est, Et surgens prosequitur: et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam eius, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritatis. R. Deo grátias. Finito Evangelio sancti Ioannis, discedens ab Altari, pro gratiarum actione dicit Ant. Trium puerórum, cum reliquis, ut habetur in principio Missalis. | 55 Then turning to the Gospel side of the altar, the priest says:P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. He then traces the Sign of the Cross, first upon the altar, and then upon his forehead, lips, and breast, and says: The beginning +︎ of the holy Gospel according to John. R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. John 1, 1-14. 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 made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this 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 He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. R. Thanks be to God. |
