Going up to the altar, the priest says in a low voice: Aufer a nobis, quaesumus Domine, iniquitates nostras: ut ad Sancta Sanctorum puris mereamur mentibus introire. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.   Take away from us our iniquities, we beseech Thee, O Lord; that being made pure in heart we may be worthy to enter into the Holy of Holies. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Amen.   We beseech Thee, O Lord, by the merits of Thy Saints whose relics lie here, and of all the Saints: that Thou would vouchsafe to pardon me all my sins. Amen.

The Gloria in Excelsis The Greater Doxology (omitted during Lent, Advent and Mass for the dead) The priest stands at the middle of the altar, and says: Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis. Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te. Gratias agimus tibi propter magn am gloriam tuam. Domine Deus rex coelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens. Domine Fili unigenite, Jesu Christe. Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris,   Glory 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, Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.   Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

Quoniam tu solus Sanctus, tu solus Dominus, tu solus altissimus, Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen.   For Thou alone art holy; Thou alone art The Lord; Thou alone art most high, O Jesus Christ, together with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. The priest kisses the altar, turns and says: P: Dominus Vobiscum.   P: The Lord be with you. S: Et cum spiritu tuo.   S: And with thy Spirit.

The Munda cor Meum The server takes the altar missal from the right side of the altar and places it on the left, or Gospel, side, as the priest, bowing at the center of the altar, says silently: Munda cor meum ac labia mea, omnipotens Deus, qui labia Isaiae Prophetae calculo mundasti ignito: ita me tua grata miseratione dignare mundare, ut sanctum Evangelium tuum digne valeam nuntiare. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.   Cleanse my heart and my lips, O Almighty God, Who cleansed the lips of the Prophet Isaiah with a burning coal. In Thy gracious mercy deign so to purify me that I may worthily proclaim Thy holy Gospel. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Jube, Domine benedicere.   Vouchsafe, O Lord, to bless me. Dominus sit in corde meo et in labiis meis: ut digne et competenter annuntiem Evangelium suum.   The Lord be in my heart and on my lips that I may worthily and fittingly proclaim His holy Gospel. At high Mass, where the deacon sings the Gospel, this is said rather than tha t just above: S: Jube, domne, benedicere.   S: Pray, sir, a blessing. P: Dominus sit in corde tuo et in labiis tuis: ut digne et competenter annunties Evangelium suum. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.   P: The Lord be in your heart and on your lips that you may worthily and fittingly proclaim His holy Gospel. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

P: Sequentia (or Initium) sancti Evangelii secundum N.   P: The continuation (or beginning) of The Holy Gospel according to St. ____. S: Gloria tibi, Domine.   S: Glory be to Thee, O Lord. When the Gospel is finished, the server says: S: Laus tibi, Christe.   S: Praise be to Thee, O Christ. The priest kisses the Bible and replies: P: Per evangelica dicta deleantur nostra delicta.   P: May our sins be blotted out by the words of the Gospel.

The Nicene Creed After the Homily, the faithful stand, and the priest says: Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem coeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium. Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum. Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem descendit de coelis.   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. 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. Everyone genuflects during these words. ET INCARNATUS EST DE SPIRITU SANCTO EX MARIA VIRGINE: ET HOMO FACTUS EST.   AND WAS INCARNATE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, OF THE VIRGIN MARY: AND WAS MADE MAN. Return to standing. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis; sub Pontio Pilato passus, et sepultus est. Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in coelum: sedet ad desteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est com gloria judicare vivos et mortuos: cujus regni non erit finis.   He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And on the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into Heaven. He sits at the right hand of the Father, whence He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead. And of His kingdom there shall be no end. Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem: qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre, et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per Prophetas. Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum. Et vitam ventura saeculi. Amem.   And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son; Who together with the Father and the Son is no less adored and glorified, and Who spoke by the prophets. And in one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And I expect the resurrection of the dead. And the life of the world to come. Amen. The priest kisses the altar, turns toward the faithful, and says: P: Dominus vobiscum.   P: The Lord be with you. S: Et cum spiritu tuo.   S: And with thy spirit. P: Oremus.   P: Let us pray.

The Offertory The faithful sit down as the priest uncovers the chalice and reads the offertory verse. 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. 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, 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.

The Sanctus Following the Preface, everyone kneels, and the priest says: Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.   Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Heaven and earth are filled with Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!

Te Igitur Bowing before the altar, the priest says, silently: Te igitur, clementissime Pater, per Jesum Christum Filium tuum, Dominum nostrum, supplices rogamus ac petimus uti accepta habeas, et benedicas, haec dona, haec munera, haec sancta sacrificia illibata; in primis quae tibi offerimu s pro Ecclesia tua sancta catholica; quam pacificare, custodire, adunare, et regere digneris toto orbe terrarum: una cum famulo tuo Papa nostro N., et Antistite nostro N. et omnibus orthodoxis, atque catholicae et apostolicae fidei cultoribus.   Therefore, most merciful Father, we humbly beg of You and entreat You through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, that Thou would vouchsafe to accept and bless these gifts, these presents, these holy and unspotted Sacrifices which, in the first place we offer Thee for Thy Holy Catholic Church to which vouchsafe to grant peace, as also to preserve, unite, and govern it, throughout the world, together with Thy servant ____, our Pope, and ____, our Bishop; and all orthodox believers and confessors of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith.

Hanc Igitur (Oblation of the Victim) This first paragraph differs from Easter and WhitSunday The priest spreads his hands over the oblation, says the first two words aloud, and continues 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 eripi, et in electorum tuorum jubeas grege numerari. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.   We therefore beseech Thee, O Lord, to graciously accept this oblation of our service, as also of Thy entire family; and to dispose our days in Thy peace, preserve us from eternal damnation, and count us in the number in Thine Elect. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Quam oblationem tu, Deus, in omnibus, quaesumus, benedictam, adscriptam, ratam, rationabilem, acceptabilemque facere digneris: ut nobis Corpus, et Sanguis fiat dilectissimi Filii tui Domini nostri Jesu Christi.   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 to Thyself, so that it may become for us the Body and Blood of Thy most beloved Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ. 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,   Who, the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and having raised His eyes to heaven, to Thee, God, His Almighty Father, giving thanks to Thee, blessed it broke it and gave it to His disciples saying: Take and eat ye all of this,

The Consecration of the Host HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.   FOR THIS IS MY BODY. The priest kneels/genuflects to adore Our Lord. 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: Simili modo postquam coenatum est, accipiens et hunc praeclarum Calicem in sanctas ac venerabiles manus suas: item tibi gratias agens, benedixit, deditque discipulis suis, dicens: Accepite, et bibite ex eo omnes,   In like manner, after He had supped, taking also this excellent chalice into His holy and venerable hands, and giving thanks to Thee, He blessed it, and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take and drink ye all of this,

The Consecration of the Wine HIC EST ENIM CALIX SANGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET AETERNI TESTAMENTI: MYSTERIUM FIDEI: QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDETUR IN REMISSIONEM PECCATORUM.   FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND EVERLASTING TESTAMENT: THE MYSTERY OF FAITH: WHICH FOR YOU AND FOR MANY WILL BE SHED UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS. Haec quotiescumque feceritis, in mei memoriam facietis.   As often as you shall do these things, do them in memory of Me. The priest kneels/genuflects to adore the Precious Blood, Our Lord. He then stands and elevates the chalice for the faithful to venerate and adore. The faithful may say, silently: "Be mindful, O Lord, of Thy creature, whom Thou hast redeemed by Thy most Precious Blood." The priest sets the chalice down and kneels/genuflects, again, to adore Him.

Oblation of the Victim to God Unde et memores, Domine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, ejusdem Christi Filii tui Domini nostri tam beatae Passionis, nec non et ab inferis Resurrectionis, sed et in coelos gloriosae Ascensionis: offerimus praeclarae majertati tuae de tuis donis ac datis hostiam puram, hostiam sanctam, hostiam immaculatam, Panem sanctum vitae aeternae, et Calicem salutis perpetuae. Supra quae propitio ac sereno vultu respicere digneris; et accepta habere, sicut i accepta habere dignatus es munera pueri tui justi Abel, et sacrificium patriarchae nostri Abrahae, et quod tibi obtulit summus sacerdos tuus Melchisedech, sanctum sacrificium, immaculatam hostiam.   Mindful, therefore, Lord, we, Thy servants, as also Thy holy people, of the same Christ, Your Son, our Lord, remember His blessed Passion, and also of His Resurrection from the dead, and finally of His glorious Ascension into heaven, offer unto Thy most excellent Majesty of Thine Own gifts, bestowed upon us, a pure Host (Victim), a holy Host, an unspotted Host, the holy Bread of eternal life and the chalice of everlasting salvation. Deign to regard with gracious and serene countenance, and to accept them, as Thou was graciously pleased to accept the gifts of Thy just servant, Able, and the sacrifice of Abraham our Patriarch, and that which Thy chief priest Melchisedech offered to Thee, a holy Sacrifice, an unspotted Victim.

For Blessings Supplices te rogamus, omnipotens Deus, jube haec perferri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublime altare tuum, in conspectu dininae majertatis tuae: ut quoquot ex hac altaris participatione, sacrocanctum Filii tui Corpus et Sanguinem sumpserimus, omni benedictione coelesti et gratia repleamur. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.   Most humbly we beseech Thee, Almighty God, command these offerings to be borne by the hands of Thy holy Angels to Thine altar on high, in the sight of Thy divine Majesty, that as many as shall partake of the most holy Body and Blood of Thy Son at this altar, may be filled with every heavenly grace and blessing. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Minor Elevaton Per quem haec omnia Domine, semper bona creas, sanctificas, vivificas, benedicis, et praestas nobis.   By Whom, O Lord, Thou always create, sanctify fill with life (quicken), bless and bestow upon us all good things. The priest uncovers the chalice, genuflects, and with the Host is his right hand, makes the Sign of the Cross over the chalice as he says the final doxology, as follows: Per ipsum, et cum ipso, et in ipso, est tibi Deo Patri omnipotenti, in unitat e Spiritus Sancti, omnis honor et gloria.   Through Him and with Him and in Him is to Thee, God the Father Almighty, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory.

The Libera Nos P: Libera nos, quaesumus, Domine, ab omnibus malis, praeteritis, praesentibus, et futuris: et intercedente beata et gloriosa semper Virgine Dei Genitrice Maria, cum beatis Apostolis tuis Petro et Paulo, atque Andrea, et omnibus Sanctis, da propitius pacem in diebus nostris: ut ope misericordiae tuae adjuti, et a peccato simus semper liberi, et ab omni perturbatione securi.   P: Deliver us, we beg Thee, O Lord, from every evil, past, present, and to come; and by the intercession of the Blessed and glorious ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and of the holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, and of Andrew, and of all the Saints mercifully grant peace in our days, that through the assistance of Thy mercy, we may 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.   S: Amen.

S: Et cum spiritu tuo.   S: And with thy spirit. He places the particle in the chalice, and says, inaudibly: P: Haec commixtio et consecratio Corporis et Sanguinis Domini nostri Jesu Christi, fiat accipientibus nobis in vitam aeternam. Amen.   P: May this mingling and consecration of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ be to us who receive it effectual unto eternal life. Amen.

The Final Blessing

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.
