| With hands extended, the Priest continues: Therefore, Lord, we pray: graciously accept this oblation of our service, that of your whole family; order our days in your peace, and command that we be delivered from eternal damnation and counted among the flock of those you have chosen. He joins his hands. (Through Christ our Lord. Amen.) |
Manibus extensis, prosequitur: Hanc ígitur oblatiónem servitútis nostrae, sed et cunctae famíliae tuae, quaesumus, Dómine, ut placátus accípias: diésque nostros in tua pace dispónas, atque ab aetérna damnatióne nos éripi et in electórum tuórum iúbeas grege numerári. Iungit manus. (Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.) |
| Holding his hands extended over the offerings, he says: Be pleased, O God, we pray, to bless, acknowledge, and approve this offering in every respect; make it spiritual and acceptable, so that it may become for us the Body and Blood of your most beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. He joins his hands. |
Tenens manus expansas super oblata, dicit: Quam oblatiónem tu, Deus, in ómnibus, quaesumus, benedíctam, adscríptam, ratam, rationábilem, acceptabilémque fácere dignéris: ut nobis Corpus et Sanguis fiat dilectíssimi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri Iesu Christi. Iungit manus. |
| In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, as the nature of these words requires. On the day before he was to suffer, He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues: he took bread in his holy and venerable hands, He raises his eyes. and with eyes raised to heaven to you, O God, his almighty Father, giving you thanks, he said the blessing, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying: |
In formulis quae sequuntur, verba Domini proferantur distincte et aperte, prouti natura eorundem verborum requirit. Qui, prídie quam paterétur, accipit panem, eumque parum elevatum super altare tenens, prosequitur: accépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, elevat oculos, et elevátis óculis in caelum ad te Deum Patrem suum omnipoténtem, tibi grátias agens benedíxit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: |
| 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. |
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: |
Postea prosequitur: Símili modo, postquam cenátum est, accipit calicem, eumque parum elevatum super altare tenens, prosequitur: accípiens et hunc praeclárum cálicem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, item tibi grátias agens benedíxit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: |
| 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. |
parum se inclinat ACCÍPITE ET BÍBITE EX EO OMNES: HIC EST ENIM CALIX SÁNGUINIS MEI NOVI ET AETÉRNI TESTAMÉNTI, QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDÉTUR IN REMISSIÓNEM PECCATÓRUM. HOC FÁCITE IN MEAM COMMEMORATIÓNEM. Calicem ostendit populo, deponit super corporale, et genuflexus adorat. |
| 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 hunc et cálicem bíbimus, mortem tuam annuntiámus, Dómine, donec vénias. Vel: Salvátor mundi, salva nos, qui per crucem et resurrectiónem tuam liberásti 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. |
Deinde sacerdos, extensis manibus, dicit: Unde et mémores, Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, eiúsdem Christi, Fílii tui, Dómini nostri, tam beátae passiónis, necnon et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in caelos gloriósae ascensiónis: offérimus praeclárae maiestáti tuae de tuis donis ac datis hóstiam puram, hóstiam sanctam, hóstiam immaculátam, Panem sanctum vitae aetérnae et Cálicem salútis perpétuae. |
| Be pleased to look upon these offerings with a serene and kindly countenance, and to accept them, as once 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 quae propítio ac seréno vultu respícere dignéris: et accépta habére, sícuti accépta habére dignátus es múnera púeri tui iusti Abel, et sacrifícium Patriárchae nostri Abrahae, et quod tibi óbtulit summus 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 haec perférri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublíme altáre tuum, in conspéctu divínae maiestátis tuae; ut, quotquot ex hac altáris participatióne sacrosánctum Fílii tui Corpus et Sánguinem sumpsérimus, erigit se atque seipsum signat, dicens: omni benedictióne caelésti 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 Manibus extensis, dicit: Meménto étiam, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuárum N. et N., qui nos praecessérunt cum signo fídei, et dórmiunt in somno pacis. Iungit manus et orat aliquantulum pro iis defunctis, pro quibus orare intendit. Deinde, extensis manibus, prosequitur: Ipsis, Dómine, et ómnibus in Christo quiescéntibus, locum refrigérii, lucis et pacis, ut indúlgeas, deprecámur. Iungit manus. (Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.) |
| He strikes his breast with his right hand, saying: To us, also, your servants, who, though sinners, And, with hands extended, he continues: hope in your abundant mercies, graciously grant some share and fellowship with your holy Apostles and Martyrs: with John the Baptist, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, (Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia) and all your Saints; admit us, we beseech you, into their company, not weighing our merits, but granting us your pardon, He joins his hands. through Christ our Lord. |
Manu dextera percutit sibi pectus, dicens: Nobis quoque peccatóribus fámulis tuis, et extensis manibus prosequitur: de multitúdine miseratiónum tuárum sperántibus, partem áliquam et societátem donáre dignéris cum tuis sanctis Apóstolis et Martyribus: cum Ioánne, Stéphano, Matthía, Bárnaba, (Ignátio, Alexándro, Marcellíno, Petro, Felicitáte, Perpétua, Agatha, Lúcia, Agnéte, Caecília, Anastásia) et ómnibus Sanctis tuis: intra quorum nos consórtium, non aestimátor mériti, sed véniae, quaesumus, largítor admítte. Iungit manus. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. |
| And he continues: Through whom you continue to make all these good things, O Lord; you sanctify them, fill them with life, bless them, and bestow them upon us. |
Et prosequitur: Per quem haec ómnia, Dómine, semper bona creas, sanctíficas, vivíficas, benedícis, et praestas nobis. |
| He takes the chalice and the paten with the host and, raising both, he says: Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever. The people acclaim: Amen. Then follows 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 glória per ómnia saecula saeculórum. Populus acclamat: Amen. Deinde sequitur ritus communionis |
