THE PREFACE

THE SANCTUS

THE CANON OF THE MASS

The Commemoration of the Living

P: 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.

P. Remember, Lord, your people, especially those for whom we now prayer, N. and N. Remember all of us gathered here before you. You know how firmly we believe in you and dedicate ourselves to you. We offer you this sacrifice of praise for ourselves and those dear to us. We pray to you, our living and true God, for our well-being and redemption.

The Communicantes

Through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.

P: In union with the whole Church we honour Mary, the ever-virgin mother of Jesus Christ our Lord and God.

May their merits and prayers gain us your constant help and protection. (Through Christ our Lord. Amen.)

The "Hanc Igitur"

[The priest extends his hands over the oblation]
P: Wherefore, we beseech hands over the oblation. 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. [Here the bell is rung once.]		P: Father, accept this offering from your whole family. Grant us your peace in this life, save us from final damnation, and count us among those you have chosen. (Through Christ our Lord. Amen.)

Quam Oblationem

P: And do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all respects to bless (+), consecrate (+), and approve (+) this our oblation, to perfect it and 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.

P: Bless and approve our offering; make it acceptable to you, an offering in spirit and in truth. Let it become for us the body and blood of Jesus Christ, your only Son, our Lord.

The Consecration of the Host

P: 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:		P: The day before he suffered he took bread in his sacred hands and looking up to heaven, to you, his almighty Father, he gave you thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said:
Take ye and eat ye all of this: [The priest bends over the Host and says:]		Take this, all of you and eat it:
FOR THIS IS MY BODY.		THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
[Then the priest adores and elevates the Sacred Host. The bell is rung.]

The Consecration of the Wine

[The priest uncovers the Chalice and says:]
P: 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: [The priest bends over the Chalice and says:]		P: When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave you thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples and said: Take this all of you, and drink from it:
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. P: As often as ye shall do these things, ye shall do them in memory of Me.		THIS IS THE CUP OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT, IT WILL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR ALL MEN SO THAT SINS MAY BE FORGIVEN. P: Do this in memory of me.
[The priest adores and elevates the Chalice. The bell is rung. He then continues:]		[The bell is rung as the priest elevates the Chalice to be seen by the people. He then genuflects] P: Let us proclaim the mystery of faith. [The people acclaim one of the following formulas:] R: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. R: Dying you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life, Lord Jesus, come in glory. R: When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, Lord Jesus, until you come in glory. R: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free. You are the Saviour of the world.
P: 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 stainless, the holy bread (+) of life everlasting, and the chalice (+) of eternal salvation.		P: Father, we celebrate the memory of Christ, your son. We, your people and your ministers, recall his passion, his resurrection from the dead, and his ascension into glory; and from the many gifts you have given us we offer to you, God of glory and majesty, this holy and perfect sacrifice: the bread of life and the cup of eternal salvation.
P: 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.		P: Look with favour on these offering and accept them as once you accepted the gifts of your servant Abel, the sacrifice of Abraham, our father in faith, and the bread and wine offered by your priest Melchisedech.
P: 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.		P: Almighty God, we pray that your angel may take this sacrifice to your altar in heaven. Then, as we receive from this altar the sacred body and blood of your Son, let us be filled with every grace and blessing. (Through Christ our Lord. Amen.)

The Commemoration of the Dead

P: 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.		P: Remember, Lord, those who have died and have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, especially those for whom we now pray, N. and N.
P: 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.		P: May these, and all who sleep in Christ, find in your presence light, happiness and peace. (Through Christ our Lord. Amen.)
[Striking his breast, the priest says:] P: 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.		P: For ourselves too, we ask some share in the fellowship of your apostles and martyrs, with John the Baptist, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, (Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia), and all the saints. Though we are sinners, we trust in your mercy and love. Do not consider what we truly deserve, but grant us your forgiveness.
P: By Whom, O Lord, Thou dost always create, sanctify (+), quicken (+), bless (+), and bestow upon us all these good things.		P: Through Christ our Lord, you give us all these gifts. You fill them with life and goodness, you bless them and make them holy.
P: 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. [Raising his voice, the priest says:] P: World without end.		P: Through him, with him, in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever.
R: Amen.		R: Amen.

Amen.

AT THE COMMUNION

[The priest genuflects, rises and says:] P: I will take the bread of heaven, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

(three times) [Holding the Sacred Host in his right hand, the priest makes the sign of the cross with it and says:] P: May the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep my soul unto life everlasting. Amen. [The priest receives Holy Communion and after a brief meditation continues:] P: 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. [The priest takes the Chalice in his right hand and makes the sign of the cross, saying:] P: May the Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep my soul unto life everlasting. Amen. [Then, he priest faces the people with the Ciborium and, holding up one of the Sacred Particles before the communicants, he says:]
P: Behold the Lamb of God, behold Him who taketh away the sins of the world.		P: This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper.
P: Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my soul shall be healed. (three times)		A: Lord I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed. (once) [Before consuming the Host, the priest saying silently:] P: May the Body of Christ bring me to everlasting life. [Before drinking the precious Blood, he says silently:] P: May the Blood of Christ bring me to everlasting life. [The Communion Antiphon follows.]

[Here Holy Communion is administered to those of the faithful who desire to receive it.]
[The priest gives Holy Communion to each communicant saying:] P: May the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep your soul unto life everlasting. Amen.		[The priest goes to the communicants and says to each:] P: The Body of Christ. R: Amen.
[When all have received Communion, he returns to the altar and replaces the Ciborium in the tabernacle. He then receives wine in the Chalice and says:]
P: 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. [The priest goes to the Epistle side and, while the server pours wine and water over his fingers, he says:] P: 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.		P: Lord, may I receive these gifts in purity of heart. May they bring me healing and strength, now and for ever.

[The priest at the Epistle side recites the Communion for the Mass being celebrated.] P: The Lord be with you. R: And with thy Spirit.

[If there is no Communion hymn, a Communion antiphon is recited.]

P: Let us pray. [The priest at the Epistle side recites the Postcommunion for the Mass being celebrated.] R: Amen.

P: Let us pray. [The priest now says the postcommunion prayer and the people respond:] R: Amen.

[Then he returns to the middle, kisses the altar, and turning toward the people says:] P: The Lord be with you. R: And with thy Spirit. P: Go, the Mass is ended. R: Thanks be to God. [Bowing down over the altar, the priest says:] P: 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. [The priest kisses the altar, and at the word "Pater", turns toward the people, blesses them, saying:] P: May almighty God, the Father, and the Son (+), and the Holy Ghost, bless you. R: Amen. THE LAST GOSPEL [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 the Last Gospel:] P: The Lord be with you. R: And with thy Spirit. P: The beginning of the holy Gospel, according to St. John. R: Glory be to Thee, O Lord. 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 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 great 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. 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. PRAYERS AFTER LOW MASS [After Low Mass, the priest kneeling at the altar steps, says with the people the prayers which follow:] Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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. (three times) Salve Regina Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor Ad 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. P: Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. A: That we be made worthy of the promises of Christ. P: 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. Invocation after Mass P: Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. R: Have mercy on us! (three times)

P: The Lord be with you. R: And also with you. P: May almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, (+) and the Holy Spirit. R: Amen. [The priest dismisses the people with one of the following formulas:] P: Go in the peace of Christ. P: The Mass is ended, go in peace. P: Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. R: Thanks be to God.
