Today
The greatest feasts, like Christmas and Easter, are marked as Doubles of the First Class; next in importance come the Doubles of the Second Class, and the Double Majors. Lowest in the class of Doubles is the Double Minor, which never gets its full name, but is called "Double" for short.Lasance, New Roman Missal (1945), p. 50
Cuando hay fiestas ocurrentes, la menos privilegiada cede su lugar a la otraLefebvre, Misal diario (1951), p. 13
Las ferias son los días libres en que no se celebra ninguna fiesta de santo.Lefebvre, Misal diario (1951), p. 14
Two (or more) feasts may occur on the same day; of these only one is observed. The other is transferred, if liturgical rules permit; otherwise it is reduced to a simple (festum simplificatum) and commemoratedLasance, New Roman Missal (1945), p. 54
Psalm 42. In Passion-tide and in Masses for the Dead, this Psalm is omittedLasance, New Roman Missal (1945), p. 756

The priest returns to the middle of the altar and recites the Creed, if it is to be said. [...] It is said or sung at Mass on all Sundays, on other days whenever indicated.Lasance, New Roman Missal (1945), p. 80
For days that have a Special Preface directions are given in the respective Masses. These Special Prefaces are found on pages 798 to 818.Lasance, New Roman Missal (1945), p. 1230-1230f
The priest now goes to the Gospel side of the altar [...] and reads a passage from the Gospel—as a rule, the first verses of that according to St. John, as below.Lasance, New Roman Missal (1945), p. 794

Sts. Dionysius, Rusticus and Eleutherius, Martyrs:
Ever since the Seventh Century Rusticus and Eleutherius have been associated with St. Dionysius (or Denis). The veneration of St. Dionysius at Paris goes back to an earlier period. St. Gregory of Tours frequently mentions the Basilica of St. Denis built at the suggestion of St. Genevieve. The saint martyred at Paris is to be distinguished from the Areopagite converted by St. Paul, whose veneration has ever been famous among the Greeks, and from the pseudo-Dionysius, a Syrian of the Fifth or Sixth century.
When the priest enters the Sanctuary, stand until he begins the prayers at the foot of the altar. Then kneel.
Bowing before the altar, the priest makes the sign of the cross, saying:
IN THE name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
℣. I will go in to the altar of God.
℟. To God, Who giveth joy to my youth.
IN nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Amen.
℣. Introíbo ad altáre Dei.
℟. Ad Deum qui lætíficat juventútem meam.
The priest and server say Psalm 42 alternately:
℣. JUDGE me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy; deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
℟. For Thou art, God, my strength: why hast Thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
℣. Send forth Thy light and Thy truth: they have conducted me and brought me unto Thy holy hill, and into Thy tabernacles.
℟. And I will go in to the altar of God: to God Who giveth joy to my youth.
℣. 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?
℟. Hope in God, for I will still give praise to Him, the salvation of my countenance and my God.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
℣. I will go in to the altar of God.
℟. To God, Who giveth joy to my youth.
℣. JUDICA me Deus, et discérne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab hómine iníquo et dolóso érue me.
℟. Quia tu es Deus fortitúdo mea: quare me repulísti, et quare tristis incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
℣. Emítte lucem tuam, et veritátem tuam: ipsa me deduxérunt, et adduxérunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernácula tua.
℟. Et introíbo ad altáre Dei; ad Deum qui lætíficat juventútem meam.
℣. Confitébor tibi in cithara Deus, Deus meus: quare tristis es ánima mea, et quare contúrbas me?
℟. Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Sicut erat in princípio et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
℣. Introíbo ad altáre Dei.
℟. Ad Deum qui lætíficat juventútem meam.
℣. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
℟. Who made heaven and earth.
℣. Adjutorium nostrum in nómine Dómini.
℟. Qui fecit cœlum et terram.
Bowing down low, the priest says:
℣. I CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever virgin, to blessed Michael the archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, to all the saints, and to you, brethren, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed; (The priest strikes his breast three times, saying:) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech the blessed Mary ever virgin, blessed Michael the archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, all the saints, and you, brethren, to pray to the Lord our God for me.
℟. May almighty God have mercy on thee and, having forgiven thee thy sins, bring thee to life everlasting.
℣. Amen.
℟. I CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever virgin, to blessed Michael the archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, to all the saints, and to thee, Father, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed: (Now strike your breast three times, saying:) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech the blessed Mary ever virgin, blessed Michael the archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, all the saints, and thee, Father, to pray to the Lord our God for me.
℣. May almighty God have mercy on you and, having forgiven you your sins, bring you to life everlasting.
℟. Amen.
℣. CONFÍTEOR Deo omnipoténti, beátæ Maríæ semper vírgini, beáto Michaéli archángelo, beáto Joánni Baptístæ, sanctis Apóstólis Petro et Paulo, ómnibus Sanctis et vobis fratres, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo, et ópere: (Percútit sibi pectus ter, dicens:) mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa. Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper vírginem, beátum Michaélem archángelum, beátum Joánnem Baptístam, sanctos Apóstolos Petrum et Paulum, omnes Sanctos, et vos fratres, oráre pro me ad Dóminum Deum nostrum.
℟. Misereátur tui omnípotens Deus, et dimíssis peccátis tuis, perdúcat te ad vitam ætérnam.
℣. Amen.
℟. CONFÍTEOR Deo omnipoténti, beátæ Maríæ semper vírgini, beáto Michaéli archángelo, beáto Joánni Baptístæ, sanctis Apóstolis Petro et Paulo; ómnibus Sanctis, et tibi, Pater, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo, et ópere: (Percúte tibi pectus ter, dicens:) mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa. Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper vírginem, beátum Michaélem archángelum, beátum Joánnem Baptístam, sanctos Apóstolos Petrum et Paulum, omnes Sanctos, et te, Pater, oráre pro me ad Dóminum Deum nostrum.
℣. Misereátur vestri omnípotens Deus, et dimíssis peccátis vestris, perdúcat vos ad vitam ætérnam.
℟. Amen.
The priest signs himself, saying:
℣. May the almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon, absolution, and remission of our sins.
℟. Amen.
℣. Indulgéntiam, absolutionem et remissíonem peccatórum nostrórum, tríbuat nobis omnípotens et miséricors Dóminus.

Again bowing slightly, the priest goes on:
℣. Thou wilt turn again, O God, and quicken us.
℟. And Thy people will rejoice in Thee.
℣. Show us, O Lord, Thy mercy.
℟. And grant us Thy salvation.
℣. O Lord, hear my prayer.

℣. Let us pray.
℣. Deus tu convérsus vivificábis nos.
℟. Et plebs tua lætábitur in te.
℣. Osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam.

℟. Et clamor meus ad te véniat.
℣. Dóminus vobíscum.
℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.
℣. Orémus.
Going up to the altar, the priest prays silently:
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.
AUFER a nobis, quæsumus Dómine, iniquitátes nostras: ut ad Sancta Sanctórum puris mereámur méntibus introíre. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
He bows down over the altar, which he kisses, saying:
WE BESEECH Thee, O Lord, by the merits of those of Thy saints whose relics are here, and of all the saints, that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to pardon me all my sins. Amen.
ORÁMUS te, Dómine, per mérita sanctórum tuórum, quorum relíquiæ hic sunt et ómnium sanctórum: ut indulgére dignéris ómnia peccáta mea. Amen.
Standing at the Epistle side of the altar, the Priest reads the Introit, which varies according to the Mass being celebrated.
Ps. 95, 1
BY the words of the Lord are His works: the sun giving light hath looked upon all things, and full of the glory of the Lord is His work. Ps. 95, 1. O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth. ℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
BY the words of the Lord are His works: the sun giving light hath looked upon all things, and full of the glory of the Lord is His work.
Ps. 95, 1
IN sermónibus Dómini ópera ejus: sol illúminans per ómnia respéxit, et glória Dómini plenum est opus ejus. Ps. 95, 1 Cantáte Dómino cánticum novum: cantáte Dómino, omnis terra. ℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
IN sermónibus Dómini ópera ejus: sol illúminans per ómnia respéxit, et glória Dómini plenum est opus ejus.

When the Gloria is to be said or sung the priest standing at the middle of the altar, extends and joins his hands, making a slight bow.
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 alone art holy; Thou alone art the Lord; Thou alone, O Jesus Christ, together with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
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. Dómine Deus rex cœléstis, Deus Pater omnípotens. Dómine Fili Unigénite, Jesu Christe. Dómine Deus, Agnus Dei, Fílius Patris. Qui tollis peccáta mundi, miserére nobis. Qui tollis peccáta mundi, súscipe deprecatiónem nostram. Qui sedes ad déxteram Patris, miserére nobis. Quóniam tu solus sanctus, tu solus Dóminus, tu solus altíssimus, Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spíritu, in glória Dei Patris. Amen.
Turning to the people, the priest says:
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
℣. Dóminus vobíscum.
℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.
Here follow the Prayers appointed for the day, which will be found in their proper places in each Mass.
O GOD, Who for the propagation of the Faith among the people wast pleased in a wondrous manner to stir up blessed John, Thy confessor: and Who, through him, didst in Thy Church gather together a new Society for the instruction of the faithful: do Thou grant unto us Thy servants, that we may so profit by his teaching, as to attain unto the everlasting rewards. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. ℟. Amen.
DEUS, qui beátum Joánnem Confessórem tuum ad fidem in géntibus propagándam mirabíliter excitáre dignátus es, ac per eum in erudiéndis fidélibus novam in Ecclésia tua famíliam congregásti: da nobis fámulis tuis; ita ejus institútis profícere, ut prǽmia consequámur ætérna. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. ℟. Amen.
Commemoration of Sts. Dionysius, Rusticus, and Eleutherius
O GOD, Who on this day didst strengthen blessed Dionysius, Thy martyr, with the virtue of fortitude in his suffering, and didst vouchsafe to join with him Rusticus and Eleutherius to preach Thy glory to the nations, grant us, we beseech Thee, to imitate them in contemning the prosperity of the world for the sake of Thy love, and to fear none of its adversity. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. ℟. Amen.
DEUS, qui hodiérna die beátum Dionýsium, Mártyrem tuum atque Pontíficem, virtúte constántiæ in passióne roborásti, quique illi, ad prædicándum géntibus glóriam tuam, Rústicum et Eleuthérium sociáre dignátus es: tribue nobis, quǽsumus; eórum imitatióne pro amóre tuo próspera mundi despícere, et nulla ejus advérsa formidáre. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. ℟. Amen.
The priest next reads the Epistle, or Lesson, from the Mass he is celebrating, after which the server says: Deo gratias (Thanks be to God). Then follows the Gradual, or Tract or Sequence.
2 Cor. 4, 1-6, 15-18
BRETHREN. Seeing we have this ministration, according as we have obtained mercy, we faint not, but renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God. And if our Gospel be also hid; it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God, should not shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord: and ourselves your servants through Jesus. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus. For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man be corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation, worketh for us above measure exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; while we look, not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen, are temporal: but the things which are not seen, are eternal.
2 Cor. 4, 1-6, 15-18
Fratres: Habéntes administratiónem juxta quod misericórdiam consecúti sumus, non defícimus, sed abdicámus occúlta dedécoris, non ambulántes in astútia, neque adulterántes verbum Dei, sed in manifestatióne veritátis commendántes nosmetípsos ad omnem consciéntiam hóminum coram Deo. Quod si étiam opértum est Evangélium nostrum: in iis, qui péreunt, est opértum: in quibus Deus hujus sǽculi excæcávit mentes infidélium, ut non fúlgeat illis illuminátio Evangélii glóriæ Christi, qui est imágo Dei. Non enim nosmetípsos prædicámus, sed Jesum Christum Dóminum nostrum: nos autem servos vestros per Jesum: quóniam Deus, qui dixit de ténebris lucem splendéscere, ipse illúxit in córdibus nostris ad illuminatiónem sciéntiæ claritátis Dei, in fácie Christi Jesu. Omnia enim propter vos: ut grátia abúndans, per multos in gratiárum actióne, abúndet in glóriam Dei. Propter quod non defícimus: sed licet is, qui foris est, noster homo corrumpátur: tamen is, qui intus est, renovátur de die in diem. Id enim, quod in præsénti est momentáneum et leve tribulatiónis nostræ, supra modum in sublimitáte ætérnum glóriæ pondus operátur in nobis, non contemplántibus nobis quæ vidéntur, sed quæ non vidéntur. Quæ enim vidéntur, temporália sunt: quæ autem non vidéntur, ætérna sunt.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Deo grátias.
Ps. 72, 21; 68
MY heart hath been inflamed and my loins have been changed: the zeal of Thy house hath eaten me up. ℣. Is. 49, 2. He hath made my mouth like unto a sharp sword: in the shadow of His hand hath He protected me, and made me as a chosen shaft. Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. Ps. 70, 7. I am become to many as a wonder: but Thou art a strong helper. Alleluia.
Ps. 72, 21; 68
Inflammátum est cor meum et renes mei commutáti sunt: zelus domus tuæ comédit me. ℣. Isai. 49, 2. Pósuit os meum quasi gládium acútum: in umbra manus suæ protéxit me, et pósuit me sicut sagíttam eléctam. Allelúja, allelúja. ℣. Ps. 70, 7. Tamquam prodígium factus sum multis: et tu adjútor fortis. Allelúja.
From Septuagesima to Easter the Lesser Alleluia is replaced by the Tract.
I AM grieved in my exercise: and am troubled at the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. ℣. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me. ℣. But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.
Contristátus sum in exercitatióne mea: et conturbátus sum a voce inimíci et a tribulatióne peccatóris. ℣. Quóniam declinavérunt in me iniquitátes: et in ira molésti erant mihi. ℣. Ego autem ad Deum clamávi: et Dóminus salvábit me.
The priest, returning to the middle of the altar, bows down, his hands joined, and says the Prayer before the Gospel.
CLEANSE my heart and my lips, O almighty God, Who didst cleanse with a burning coal the lips of the prophet Isaias; and vouchsafe in Thy loving kindness so to purify me that I may be enabled worthily to announce Thy holy Gospel. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to bless me.
The Lord be in my heart and on my lips, that I may worthily and becomingly announce His gospel. Amen.
MUNDA cor meum, ac lábia mea, omnípotens Deus, qui lábia Isaíæ prophétæ cálculo mundásti igníto: ita me tua grata miseratióne dignáre mundáre, ut sanctum Evangélium tuum digne váleam nuntiáre. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Jube Dómine benedícere.
Dóminus sit in corde meo, et in lábiis meis; ut digne et competénter annúntiem Evangélium suum. Amen.
The priest goes to the Gospel side of the altar and reads the Gospel.
STAND
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
℣. Dóminus vobíscum.
℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.
℣. The following (or the beginning) is taken from the Holy Gospel according to St. N.
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
℣. Seqúentia (vel Inítium) Sancti Evangélii secúndum N.
℟. Glória tibi Dómine.
Luke 10, 1-9
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke.
AT THAT time, The Lord appointed also other seventy-two; and He sent them two and two before His face into every city and place whither He Himself was to come. And He said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He send laborers into his harvest. Go, behold I send you as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way. Into whatsoever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house: and if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: and heal the sick that are therein; and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Luke 10, 1-9
Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam.
IN ILLO témpore: Designávit Dóminus et álios septuaginta duos: et misit illos binos ante fáciem suam in omnem civitátem et locum, quo erat ipse ventúrus. Et dicébat illis: Messis quidem multa, operárii autem pauci. Rogáte ergo dóminum messis, ut mittat operários in messem suam. Ite: ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos. Nolíte portáre sácculum, neque peram, neque calceaménta, et néminem per viam salutavéritis. In quamcúmque domum intravéritis primum dícite: Pax huic dómui: et si ibi fúerit fílius pacis, requiéscet super illum pax vestra: sin autem, ad vos revertétur. In eádem autem domo manéte, edéntes et bibéntes quæ apud illos sunt: dignus est enim operárius mercéde sua. Nolíte transíre de domo in domum. Et in quamcúmque civitátem intravéritis, et suscéperint vos, manducáte quæ apponúntur vobis: et curáte infírmos qui in illa sunt, et dícite illis: Appropinquávit in vos regnum Dei.
At end of Gospel the server says:
℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
℟. Laus tibi, Christe.
The priest kisses the book saying:
℣. May our sins be blotted out by the words of the Gospel.
℣. Per evangélica dicta deleántur nostra delícta.
SIT
Then the priest uncovers the chalice.
Col. 1, 25
I AM made a minister of Christ according to the dispensation of God, which is given to me, that I may fulfil the word of the Lord. (P. T. Alleluia.)
Col. 1, 25
CHRISTI factus sum ego miníster secúndum dispensatiónem Dei, quæ data est mihi, ut ímpleam verbum Dómini. (T. P. Allelúja.)
RECEIVE, O Holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this spotless host, which I, Thine unworthy servant, offer unto Thee, my living and true God, for my countless sins, trespasses, and omissions; likewise for all here present, and for all faithful Christians, whether living or dead, that it may avail both me and them to salvation, unto life everlasting. Amen.
SÚSCIPE sancte Pater omnípotens ætérne Deus, hanc immaculátam hóstiam, quam ego indignus fámulus tuus óffero tibi Deo meo vivo et vero, pro innumerabílibus peccátis et offensiónibus et negligéntiis meis, et pro ómnibus circumstántibus, sed et pro ómnibus fidélibus Christiánis vivis atque defunctis: ut mihi et illis profíciat ad salútem in vitam etérnam. Amen.
The priest goes to the Epistle side and pours wine and water into the chalice.
O GOD, Who in creating man didst exalt his nature very wonderfully and yet more wonderfully didst establish it anew: by the mystery signified in the mingling of this water and wine, grant us to have part in the Godhead of Him Who hath vouchsafed to share our manhood, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God; world without end. Amen.
DEUS, qui humánæ substántiæ dignitátem mirabíliter condidísti, et mirabílius reformásti: da nobis per hujus aquæ et vini mystérium, ejus divinitátis esse consórtes, qui humanitátis nostræ fíeri dignátus est párticeps, Jesus Christus, Fílius tuus, Dóminus nóster: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus; per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
At the middle of the altar the priest says:
WE OFFER unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, beseeching Thy clemency that it may ascend as a sweet odor before Thy divine majesty, for our own salvation, and for that of the whole world. Amen.
IN spíritu humilitátis, et in ánimo contríto suscipiámur a te Dómine: et sic fiat sacrifícium nostrum in conspéctu tuo hódie, ut pláceat tibi Dómine Deus.
VENI sanctificátor omnípotens ætérne Deus, et béne+dic hoc sacrifícium tuo sancto nómini præparátum.
HUMBLED in mind, and contrite of heart, may we find favor with Thee, O Lord; and may the sacrifice we this day offer up be well pleasing to Thee, Who art our Lord and our God.
COME, Thou, the Sanctifier, God, almighty and everlasting: bless this sacrifice which is prepared for the glory of Thy holy name.
IN spíritu humilitátis, et in ánimo contríto suscipiámur a te Dómine: et sic fiat sacrifícium nostrum in conspéctu tuo hódie, ut pláceat tibi Dómine Deus.
VENI sanctificátor omnípotens ætérne Deus, et béne+dic hoc sacrifícium tuo sancto nómini præparátum.
Going to the Epistle side the priest washes his fingers and says:
I WILL wash my hands among the innocent, and will compass Thine altar, O Lord.
That I may hear the voice of praise, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.
Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with men of blood.
In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.
But as for me, I have walked in my innocence; redeem me, and have mercy on me.
My foot hath stood in the right way; in the churches I will bless Thee, O Lord.
LAVÁBO inter innocéntes manus meas: et circúmdabo altáre tuum Dómine.
Ut áudiam vocem laudis: et enárrem univérsa mirabília tua.
Dómine diléxi decórem domus tuæ, et locum habitatiónis glóriæ tuæ.
Ne perdas cum ímpiis Deus ánimam meam: et cum viris sánguinum vitam meam.
In quorum mánibus iniquitátes sunt: déxtera eórum repléta est munéribus.
Ego autem in innocéntia mea ingréssus sum: rédime me, et miserére mei.
Pes meus stetit in dirécto: in ecclésiis benedícam te Dómine.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
The priest returns to the middle of the altar and bowing slightly says:
RECEIVE, O holy Trinity, this oblation offered up by us to Thee in memory of the passion, resurrection, and ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and in honor of blessed Mary, ever a virgin, of blessed John the Baptist, of the holy apostles Peter and Paul, of these, and of all the saints, that it may be available to their honor and to our salvation; and may they whose memory we celebrate on earth vouchsafe to intercede for us in heaven. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
SÚSCIPE sancta Trínitas hanc oblatiónem, quam tibi offérimus ob memóriam passiónis resurrectiónis et ascensiónis Jesu Christi Dómini nostri: et in honórem beátæ Maríæ semper vírginis, et beáti Joánnis Baptístæ, et sanctórum Apostolórum Petri et Pauli, et istórum, et ómnium Sanctórum: ut illis profíciat ad honórem, nobis autem ad salútem: et illi pro nobis intercédere dignéntur in cœlis, quorum memóriam ágimus in terris. Per eúmdem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
The priest kisses the altar and turning to the people, says:
℣. BRETHREN, pray that my sacrifice and yours may be well pleasing to God the Father almighty.
℟. MAY the Lord receive this sacrifice at thy hands, to the praise and glory of His name, to our own benefit, and to that of all His Holy Church.
℣. ORATE, fratres, ut meum ac vestrum sacrifícium acceptábile fiat apud Deum Patrem omnipoténtem.
℟. SUSCIPIAT Dóminus sacrifícium de mánibus tuis ad laudem et glóriam nóminis sui, ad utilitátem quoque nostram, totiúsque Ecclésiæ suæ sanctæ.
Then with hands extended, the priest says the Secret prayers. Their order and number are the same as the Prayers said after the Gloria and will be found in the proper place in each Mass.
RECEIVE, O Lord, the clean oblation of this salutary sacrifice: and, by the intercession of blessed John, Thy confessor, grant that everywhere among the nations it may fittingly be offered up. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. ℟. Amen.
SÚSCIPE, Dómine, oblatiónem mundam salutáris hóstiæ: et præsta; ut, intercedénte beáto Joánne Confessóre tuo, ubíque géntium júgiter offerátur. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. ℟. Amen.
Commemoration of Sts. Dionysius, Rusticus, and Eleutherius
GRACIOUSLY receive, O Lord, the gifts of Thy people in honor of Thy saints, and sanctify us by their intercession. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. ℟. Amen.
OBLÁTA tibi, Dómine, múnera pópuli tui, pro tuórum honóre Sanctórum, súscipe propítius, quǽsumus: et eórum nos intercessióne sanctífica. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. ℟. Amen.
The priest now says in a louder voice, or sings:
℣. World without end.
℟. Amen.
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
℣. Lift up your hearts.
℟. We have them lifted up unto the Lord.
℣. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
℟. It is meet and just.
℣. Per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
℣. Dóminus vobíscum.
℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.
℣. Sursum corda.
℟. Habémus ad Dóminum.
℣. Grátias agámus Domino Deo nostro.
℟. Dignum et justum est.
IT IS truly meet and just, right and profitable for us, at all times, and in all places, to give thanks to Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God, through Christ our Lord. Through Whom the angels praise, the dominations adore, the powers, trembling with awe, worship Thy majesty: which the heavens, and the forces of heaven, together with the blessed seraphim, joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted to our lowliness to join with them in confessing Thee and unceasingly to repeat:
VERE dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper, et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Ángeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cœli, cœlorúmque Virtútes, ac beáta Séraphim, sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces, ut admítti júbeas deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
Remain kneeling until after Communion.
HOLY, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts. The heavens and the earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He Who cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
SANCTUS, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dóminus Deus Sábaoth. Pleni sunt cœli et terra glória tua. Hosánna in excélsis. Benedíctus qui venit in nómine Dómini. Hosánna in excélsis.
The priest now prays silently. The indicates that he makes the sign of the cross over the offerings.
WHEREFORE, we humbly pray and beseech Thee, most merciful Father, through Jesus Christ Thy Son, Our Lord, to receive and to bless these gifts, these presents, these holy unspotted sacrifices, which we offer up to Thee, in the first place, for Thy holy Catholic Church, that it may please Thee to grant her peace, to guard, unite, and guide her, throughout the world; as also for Thy servant N, our Pope, and N., our Bishop, and for all who are orthodox in belief and who profess the catholic and apostolic faith.
TE ígitur, clementíssime Pater, per Jesum Christum Fílium tuum Dóminum nostrum, súpplices rogámus, ac pétimus, uti accépta hábeas, et benedícas, hæc dona, hæc múnera, hæc sancta sacrifícia illibáta, in primis quæ tibi offérimus pro Ecclésia tua sancta cathólica: quam pacificáre, custodíre, adunáre et régere dignéris toto orbe terrárum: una cum fámulo tuo Papa nostro N et Antistite nostro N et ómnibus orthodóxis, atque cathólicæ et apostólicæ fídei cultóribus.
BE MINDFUL, O Lord, of Thy servants N. and N. And of all here present, whose faith and devotion are known to Thee, for whom we offer, or who offer up to Thee, this sacrifice of praise, for themselves, their families, and their friends, for the salvation of their souls, and the health and welfare they hope for, and who now pay their vows to Thee, God eternal, living, and true.
MEMÉNTO Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuárum N. et N. et ómnium circumstántium quorum tibi fides cogníta est, et nota devótio, pro quibus tibi offérimus: vel qui tibi ófferunt hoc sacrifícium laudis, pro se, suisque ómnibus: pro redemptióne animárum suárum, pro spe salútis, et incolumitátis suæ: tibique reddunt vota sua aetérno Deo, vivo et vero.
HAVING communion with and venerating the memory, first, of the glorious Mary, ever a virgin, mother of Jesus Christ, our God and our Lord: likewise of Thy blessed apostles and martyrs, Peter and Paul, Andrew, James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon and Thaddeus; of Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian, and of all Thy saints: for the sake of whose merits and prayers do Thou grant that in all things we may be defended by the help of Thy protection. Through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.
COMMUNICÁNTES, et memóriam venerántes, in primis gloriósæ semper vírginis Maríæ genitricis Dei et Dómini nostri Jesu Christi: sed et beatórum Apostolórum ac Martyrum tuórum, Petri et Pauli, Andréæ, Jacóbi, Joánnis, Thomæ, Jacóbi, Philíppi, Bartholomæi, Matthæi, Simónis et Thaddæi: Lini, Cleti, Cleméntis, Xysti, Cornélii, Cypriáni, Lauréntii, Chrysógoni, Joánnis et Pauli, Cosmæ et Damiáni, et ómnium sanctórum tuórum: quorum méritis precibúsque concédas, ut in ómnibus protectiónis tuæ muniámur auxílio. Per eúmdem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
The priest extends his hands over the oblation.
WHEREFORE, we beseech Thee, O Lord, graciously to receive this oblation which we Thy servants, and with us Thy whole family, offer up to Thee: dispose our days in Thy peace; command that we be saved from eternal damnation and numbered among the flock of Thine elect. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
HANC ígitur oblatiónem servitútis nostræ, sed et cunctæ famíliæ tuæ, quæsumus, Dómine, ut placátus accípias: diesque nostros in tua pace dispónas, atque ab ætérna damnatióne nos éripi, et in electórum tuórum júbeas grege numerári. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Here the bell is rung once.
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, Jesus Christ our Lord.
WHO, the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and having lifted up 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 ye and eat ye all of this:
QUAM oblatiónem tu, Deus, in ómnibus, quæsumus benedíctam, adscríptam, ratam, rationábilem, acceptabilémque fácere dignéris: ut nobis Corpus, et Sanguis fiat dilectíssimi Fílii tui Dómini nostri Jesu Christi.
QUI prídie quam paterétur, accépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas: et elevátis óculis in cœlum ad te Deum Patrem suum omnipoténtem, tibi grátias agens, benedíxit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite et manducáte ex hoc omnes:
The priest bends over the Host and says:
For this is My Body
Hoc est enim Corpus Meum
Then the priest adores and elevates the Sacred Host.
The bell is rung.
When the priest elevates the Sacred Host, look at it and say devoutly:
My Lord and My God
Dóminus meus et Deus meus.
Indulgence of seven years, and seven quarantines, Pope Pius X, May 18, 1907.
The priest uncovers the chalice and says:
IN LIKE manner, after He had supped, taking also into His holy and venerable hands this goodly chalice again giving thanks to Thee, He blessed it , and gave it to His disciples, saying:
Take ye, and drink ye all of this:
SÍMILI modo postquam cœnátum est, accípiens et hunc præclárum Cálicem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas: item tibi grátias agens, bene+díxit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens:
Accípite et bíbite ex eo omnes:
The priest bends over the chalice and says:
For this is the Chalice of My Blood, of the new and everlasting testament, the mystery of faith, which for you and for many shall be shed unto the remission of sins.
As often as ye shall do these things, ye shall do them in memory of Me.
Hic est enim Calix Sanguinis mei, novi et æterni testamenti: mysterium fidei, qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.
Hæc quotiescúmque fecéritis in mei memóriam faciétis.
The priest adores and elevates the chalice. The bell is rung.
WHEREFORE, O Lord, we, Thy servants, as also Thy holy people, calling to mind the blessed passion of the same Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, His resurrection from the grave, and His glorious ascension into heaven, offer up to Thy most excellent majesty of Thine own gifts bestowed upon us, a victim which is pure, a victim which is holy, a victim which is stainless, the holy bread of life everlasting, and the chalice of eternal salvation.
VOUCHSAFE to look upon them with a gracious and tranquil countenance, and to accept them, even as Thou wast pleased to accept the offerings of Thy just servant Abel, and the sacrifice of Abraham, our patriarch, and that which Melchisedech, Thy high priest, offered up to Thee, a holy sacrifice, a victim without blemish.
WE HUMBLY beseech Thee, almighty God, to command that these our offerings be borne by the hands of Thy holy angel to Thine altar on high in the presence of Thy divine Majesty; that as many of us as shall receive the most sacred Body and Blood of Thy Son by partaking thereof from this altar may be filled with every heavenly blessing and grace: Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
UNDE et mémores Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, ejúsdem Christi Fílii tui Dómini nostri tam beátæ passiónis, nec non et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in cœlos gloriósæ ascensiónis: offérimus præcláræ majestáti tuæ de tuis donis ac datis, hóstiam puram, hóstiam sanctam, hóstiam immaculátam, Panem sanctum vitæ ætérnæ, et Cálicem salútis perpétuæ.
SUPRA quæ propítio ac seréno vultu respícere dignéris: et accépta habére, sícuti accépta habére dignátus es múnera púeri tui justi Abel, et sacrifícium patriárchæ nostri Ábrahæ: et quod tibi óbtulit summus sacérdos tuus Melchísedech, sanctum sacrifícium, immaculátam hóstiam.
SÚPPLICES te rogámus, omnípotens Deus; jube hæc perférri per manus sancti Ángeli tui in sublíme altáre tuum, in conspéctu divínæ majestátis tuæ: ut quotquot ex hac altáris participatióne, sacrosánctum Fílii tui Cor+pus et Sán+guinem sumpsérimus omni benedictióne cœlésti et grátia repleámur. Per eúmdem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
BE MINDFUL also, O Lord, of Thy servants N. and N., who have gone before us with the sign of faith and who sleep the sleep of peace.
TO THESE, O Lord, and to all who rest in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and peace. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
MEMÉNTO étiam, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuárum N. et N. qui nos præcessérunt cum signo fídei, et dórmiunt in somno pacis.
IPSIS Dómine, et ómnibus in Christo quiescéntibus, locum refrigérii, lucis et pacis, ut indúlgeas, deprecámur, per eúmdem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Striking his breast the priest says:
TO US sinners, also, Thy servants, who put our trust in the multitude of Thy mercies, vouchsafe to grant some part and fellowship with Thy holy apostles and martyrs; with John, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia, and with all Thy saints. Into their company do Thou, we beseech Thee, admit us, not weighing our merits, but freely pardoning our offenses: through Christ our Lord.
BY WHOM, O Lord, Thou dost always create, sanctify , quicken , bless , and bestow upon us all these good things.
THROUGH him , and with Him , and in Him , is to Thee, God the Father almighty, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory.
NOBIS quoque peccatóribus fámulis tuis, de multitúdine miseratiónum tuárum sperántibus, partem áliquam et societátem donáre dignéris, cum tuis sanctis Apóstolis et Martýribus: cum Joánne, Stéphano, Matthía, Bárnaba, Ignátio, Alexándro, Marcellíno, Petro, Felicitáte, Perpétua, Ágatha, Lúcia, Agnéte, Cæcília, Anastásia, et ómnibus sanctis tuis: intra quorum nos consórtium, non æstimátor mériti, sed véniæ, quæsumus, largítor admítte. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum.
PER quem hæc ómnia, Dómine, semper bona creas, sanctí+ficas, viví+ficas, bene+dícis et præstas nobis.
PER ip+sum, et cum ip+so, et in ip+so, est tibi Deo Patri omnipoténti, in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, omnis honor et glória.
Raising his voice the priest says or sings:
℣. World without end.
℟. Amen.
Per ómnia secula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
℣. Orémus
Let us pray
ADMONISHED by salutary precepts, and following divine directions, we presume to say:
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.
PRÆCEPTIS salutáribus móniti, et divína institutióne formáti, audémus dícere:
PATER noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris. Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem.
℟. But deliver us from
evil.
P. Amen.
DELIVER us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all evils, past, present, and to come: and by the intercession of the blessed and glorious Mary, ever a virgin, Mother of God, and of Thy holy apostles Peter and Paul, of Andrew, and of all the saints, graciously grant peace in our days, that through the help of Thy bountiful mercy we may always be free from sin and secure from all disturbance.
℟. Sed líbera nos a malo.
P. Amen.
LÍBERA nos, quæsumus Dómine, ab ómnibus malis prætéritis, præséntibus, et futúris: et intercedénte beáta et gloriósa semper Vírgine Dei Genitríce María, cum beátis Apóstolis tuis Petro et Paulo, atque Andréa, et ómnibus sanctis, da propítius pacem in diébus nostris: ut ope misericórdiæ tuæ adjúti, et a peccáto simus semper líberi, et ab omni perturbatióne secúri.
The priest breaks the Sacred Host, saying:
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.
℟. Amen.
P. May the peace of the Lord be always with you.
℟. And with Thy spirit.
Per eúmdem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum,
Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus.
Per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
P. Pax Dómini sit semper vobis+cum.
℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.
The priest drops a particle of the Sacred Host into the Chalice.
MAY this commingling and consecrating of the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ avail us who receive it unto life everlasting. Amen.
HÆC commixtio et consecrátio Córporis et Sánguinis Dómini nostri Jesu Christi fiat accipiéntibus nobis in vitam ætérnam. Amen.
Bowing down the priest says:
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.
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.
Except in Masses for the dead, the priest, bowing and with joined hands, says:
O LORD Jesus Christ Who didst say to Thine apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give you: look not upon my sins, but upon the faith of Thy Church, and vouchsafe to grant her peace and unity according to Thy will: Who livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.
DÓMINE Jesu 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 sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
O LORD Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, Who, according to the will of the Father, through the co-operation 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 every evil; make me always cleave to Thy commandments, and never suffer me to be separated from Thee, Who with the same God, the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.
LET not the partaking of Thy Body, O Lord Jesus Christ, which I, all unworthy, presume to receive, turn to my judgment and condemnation; but through Thy loving kindness may it be to me a safeguard and remedy for soul and body; Who, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest, God, world without end. Amen.
DÓMINE Jesu 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 nunquam separári permíttas: qui cum eódem Deo Patre et Spíritu Sancto vivis et regnas Deus in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
PERCÉPTIO Córporis tui, Dómine Jesu Christe, quod ego indígnus súmere præsúmo, non mihi provéniat in judícium et condemnatiónem: sed pro tua pietáte prosit mihi ad tutaméntum mentis et córporis, et ad medélam percipiéndam. Qui vívis et regnas cum Deo Patre in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
The priest genuflects, rises and says:
I WILL take the bread of heaven, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
PANEM cœléstem accípiam et nomen Dómini invocábo.
Taking the Sacred Host with his left hand the priest strikes his breast three times, saying (here the bell is rung) :
LORD, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.
DÓMINE, non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea.
Holding the Sacred Host in his right hand the priest makes the sign of the cross with it and says:
MAY the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep my soul unto life everlasting. Amen.
CORPUS Dómini nostri Jesu Christi custódiat ánimam meam in vitam ætérnam. Amen.
The priest receives Holy Communion and after a brief meditation continues:
WHAT shall I render unto the Lord for all the things that He hath rendered unto me? I will take the chalice of salvation and will call upon the name of the Lord. With high praises will I call upon the Lord, and I shall be saved from all mine enemies.
QUID retríbuam Dómino pro ómnibus quæ retríbuit mihi? Cálicem salutáris accípiam, et nomen Dómini invocábo. Laudans invocábo Dóminum, et ab inimícis meis salvus ero.
The priest takes the chalice in his right hand and makes the sign of the cross, saying:
MAY the Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep my soul unto life everlasting. Amen.
SANGUIS Dómini nostri Jesu Christi custódiat ánimam meam in vitam ætérnam. Amen.
Here Holy Communion is administered to those of the faithful who desire to receive It. In the name of the communicants who kneel at the sanctuary rails the acolytes recite the Confiteor, the priest responding with the Misereatur and the Indulgentiam.
I CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever virgin, to blessed Michael the archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, to all the saints, and to thee, Father, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed: (Now strike your breast three times, saying:) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech the blessed Mary ever virgin, blessed Michael the archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, all the saints, and thee, Father, to pray to the Lord our God for me.
CONFÍTEOR Deo omnipoténti, beátæ Maríæ semper vírgini, beáto Michaéli archángelo, beáto Joánni Baptístæ, sanctis Apóstolis Petro et Paulo; ómnibus Sanctis, et tibi, Pater, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo, et ópere: (Percúte tibi pectus ter, dicens:) mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa. Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper vírginem, beátum Michaélem archángelum, beátum Joánnem Baptístam, sanctos Apóstolos Petrum et Paulum, omnes Sanctos, et te, Pater, oráre pro me ad Dóminum Deum nostrum.
May almighty God have mercy upon you, forgive you your sins, and bring you to life everlasting.
℟. Amen
Misereátur vestri omnípotens Deus, et dimíssis peccátis vestris, perdúcat vos ad vitam ætérnam Amen.
MAY the almighty and merciful Lord grant you pardon, absolution, and remission of your sins.
℟. Amen
INDULGENTIAM absolutionem, et remissiónem peccatorum vestrorum, tríbuat vobis omnípotens et miséricors Dóminus.
Facing the people with the Ciborium and holding up one of the Sacred Particles before the communicants the priest says:
BEHOLD the Lamb of God, behold Him who taketh away the sins of the world.
ECCE Agnus Dei, ecce Qui tollit peccata mundi.
Then he says three times:
LORD, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
DÓMINE, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanabitur anima mea.
He then goes to the communion rails and gives Holy Communion to each communicant saying:
MAY the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep your soul unto life everlasting. Amen.
CORPUS Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vitam aeternam. Amen.
When all have communicated he returns to the altar and replaces the ciborium in the tabernacle. The priest receives wine in the chalice and says:
INTO a pure heart, O Lord, may we receive the heavenly food which has passed our lips; bestowed upon us in time, may it be the healing of our souls for eternity.
QUOD ore sumpsimus Domine, pura mente capiamus: et de munere temporali fiat nobis remédium sempiternum.
The priest goes to the Epistle side and while the server pours wine and water over his fingers, he says:
MAY Thy Body, O Lord, which I have received, and Thy Blood which I have drunk cleave to mine inmost parts: and do Thou grant that no stain of sin remain in me, whom pure and holy mysteries have refreshed: Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.
CORPUS tuum, Domine, quod sumpsi, et Sanguis, quem potavi, adhaereat visceribus meis: et praesta, ut in me non remaneat scelerum macula, quem pura et sancta refecerunt sacramenta. Qui vivis et regnas in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
The priest at the Epistle side recites the Communion, which will be found in its proper place in each Mass, then returning to the middle of the altar, he faces the people, saying:
THE things that were gain to me, the same I counted loss for Christ. (P. T. Alleluia.)
QUÆ mihi fuérunt lucra, hæc arbitrátus sum propter Christum detrímenta.
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
℣. Let us pray.
℣. Dóminus vobiscum.
℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.
℣. Orémus.
REFRESHED by the sacred mysteries of Thy precious body and blood, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that, following the example of blessed John, Thy confessor, we may set ourselves to profess that which he believed, and in our actions to put into practice that which he taught. Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. ℟. Amen.
PRETIÓSI córporis, et sánguinis tui sacris refécti mystériis, Dómine, adprecámur: ut beáti Joánnis Confessóris tui exémplo, studeámus confitéri quod crédidit, et ópere exercére quod dócuit: Qui vivis et regnas, cum Deo Patre in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. ℟. Amen.
Commemoration of Sts. Dionysius, Rusticus, and Eleutherius
WE WHO have received Thy sacraments, O Lord, pray that, by the intercession of Thy blessed Martyrs, Dionysius, Rusticus, and Eleutherius, we may be profited unto the increase of our everlasting redemption. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. ℟. Amen.
SUMPTIS, Dómine, sacraméntis, quǽsumus: ut, intercedéntibus beátis Martýribus tuis Dionýsio, Rústico et Eleuthério, ad redemptiónis ætérnæ proficiámus augméntum. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. ℟. Amen.
Going to the Epistle side he says the prayers called Postcommunions. They correspond to the Prayers and Secrets already read.
Then the priest going back to the middle kisses the altar, and turning toward the people says:
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
℣. Dóminus vobíscum.
℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.
Should the Mass be one in which the Gloria in excelsis is omitted, then, in place of Ite, missa est, the priest says or sings Benedicamus Domino (Let us bless the Lord). But in Masses for the dead is substituted the prayer, Requiescant in pace (May they rest in peace), to which is answered, Amen.
Kneel
℣. Go, the Mass is ended.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℣. Ite, missa est.
℟. Deo grátias.
Bowing down over the altar, the priest prays:
MAY the lowly homage of my service be pleasing to Thee, O most holy Trinity: and do Thou grant that the sacrifice which I, all unworthy, have offered up in the sight of Thy majesty, may be acceptable to Thee, and, because of Thy loving-kindness, may avail to atone to Thee for myself and for all those for whom I have offered it up. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
PLÁCEAT tibi sancta Trínitas, obséquium servitútis meæ; et præsta, ut sacrifícium, quod óculis tuæ majestátis indígnus óbtuli, tibi sit acceptábile, mihíque et ómnibus, pro quibus illud óbtuli, sit, te miseránte, propitiábile. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
The priest kisses the altar, and at the word “Pater” turns toward the people, and blesses them, saying:
MAY almighty God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, bless you.
℟. Amen.
BENEDÍCAT vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
℟. Amen.
The priest now goes to the Gospel side of the altar; he makes the sign of the cross, first upon the altar, and then upon his forehead, lips, and heart, and reads a passage from the Gospel—as a rule, the first verses of that according to St. John, as below. But if because of the occurrence of a festival day, the Gospel proper to a Sunday has not been read in its proper place, it must be read here. In this case he signs the book, not the altar.
Stand
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
℣. The beginning of the holy Gospel, according to St. John.
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
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 give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him. He was not the light, but was to give testimony of 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 the 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.
℣. Dóminus vobíscum.
℟. Et cum spíritu tuo.
℣. Inítium sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.
℟. Glória tibi Dómine.
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 Joánnes. 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 ejus. Qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt.
Here all genuflect.
AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, (Here genuflect) and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
℟. Thanks be to God.
ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST, (Hic genuflectitur) et habitávit in nobis et vidimus glóriam ejus, glóriam quasi unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Kneel
After Low Mass the priest kneeling at the altar steps, says with the people the prayers which follow.
“Hail Mary,” three times. Then,
HAIL, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

HAIL, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.
℣. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
℟. That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray
O GOD, our refuge and our strength, look down with favor upon Thy people who cry to Thee; and through the intercession of the glorious and immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of her spouse, blessed Joseph, of Thy holy apostles, Peter and Paul, and all the saints, mercifully and graciously hear the prayers which we pour forth to Thee for the conversion of sinners and for the liberty and exaltation of holy mother Church. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
St. Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. We humbly beseech God to command him, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the divine power thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits who roam through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Most sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! (Three times, alternately with the priest.)
SALVE Regína Mater misericórdiæ, vita, dulcédo, et spes nostra salve. Ad te clamámus éxsules, fílii Hevæ. Ad te suspirámus geméntes, et flentes in hac lacrymárum valle. Eia ergo advocáta nostra, illos tuos misericórdes óculos ad nos convérte. Et Jesum benedíctum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsílium osténde. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo María.
℣. Ora pro nobis sancta Dei Génitrix.
℟. Ut digni efficiámur promissiónibus Christi.
Orémus
DEUS refúgium nostrum et virtus, pópulum ad te clamántem propítius réspice; et intercedénte gloriósa et immaculáta Vírgine Dei Genitríce María, cum beáto Josépho ejus Sponso, ac beátis Apóstolis tuis Petro et Paulo, et ómnibus Sanctis, quas pro conversióne peccatórum, pro libertáte et exaltatióne sanctæ Matris Ecclésiæ, preces effúndimus, miséricors et benígnus exáudi. Per eúmdem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Sancte Michael Archángele, defénde nos in prœlio; contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto præsídium. Ímperet illi Deus; súpplices deprecámur: tuque, Princeps milítiæ cœléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo, divína virtúte in inférnum detrúde. Amen.
Cor Jesu sacratissimum, miserére nobis.
