The Vesting Prayers

(Said in the Sacristy, as the Priest prepares for Mass)

{First, the Prayer of Intention:}

Ego volo celebráre Missam, et confícere corpus et sánguinem Dómini nostri Jesu Christi, juxta ritum sanctæ Ecclésiæ, ad laudem omnipoténtis Dei totiúsque Cúriæ triumphántis, ad utilitátem meam totiúsque Cúriæ militántis, pro ómnibus qui se commendavérunt oratiónibus meis in génere et in spécie, et pro felíci statu sanctæ Ecclésiæ. Amen.

(First, washing his hands, he says:)

Da, Dómine, virtútem mánibus meis ad abstergéndam omnem máculam: ut sine pollutióne mentis et córporis váleam tibi servíre.

{Then, if he uses the Amice, he says: }

Impóne, Dómine, cápiti meo gáleam salútis, ad expugnándos diabólicos incúrsus.

(Donning the Alb, he says: )

Deálba me, Dómine, et munda cor meum: ut in sánguine Agni dealbátus, gáudiis pérfruar sempitérnis.

(Donning the cincture, he says: )

Præcínge me, Dómine, cingulo puritátis, et exstíngue in lumbis meis humórem libídinis: ut máneat in me virtus continéntiæ, et castitátis.

(Putting on the Stole, he says: )

Redde mihi, Dómine, stolam immortalitátis, quam pérdidi in prævaricatióne primi paréntis: et quamvis indígnus accédo ad tuum sacrum mystérium, mérear tamen gáudium sempitérnam.

(Putting on the Chasuble, he says: )

Dómine, qui dixísti: "Jugam meum suáve est, et onus meum leve": fac, ut istud portáre sic váleam, quod cónsequar tuam grátiam.

AMEN

The PATER NOSTER

P: Praeceptis salutaribus moniti, et divina institutione formati, audemus dicere;

P: Pater noster...
O: qui es in caelis: sanctifìcetur nomen tuum: adveniat Regnum tuum, fiat voluntas tua, sìcut in caelo et in terra.  Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nos debita nostra, sicut et nos demittimus debitoribus nostris.  Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo.
Amen
{He then picks up the Paten with his right hand, and continues with:}

P: Libera nos, quaesimus, Domine, ab omnibus malis, praeteritis, praesentibus, et futura; et intercedente beata et gloriosa semper Virgine Dei Genetrice Maria, cum beatis Apostolis tuis Petro et Paulo, atque Andrea, et omnibus Sanctis,

{Here he makes the sign of the cross on himself with the paten}

P: ...da propitius pacem in diebus nostris:
{He kisses the Paten}

ut ope miserecordiae tuae adjuti, et a peccato sìmus semper liberi, et ab omni perturbatione securi.

{Here he slides the Paten under the Host, uncovers the Chalice, genuflects,
and breaks the Host into two pieces over the Chalice, saying:}

P: Per eundem Dominum Nostrum Jesum Christum, Fiiium Tuum.

{He then puts the piece in his right hand down on the Paten,
and breaks off a sliver from the piece in his left, saying:}

qui tecum vivit et regnat, in unitate cum Spirìtus Sancti, Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum

All:  Amen

{He then makes the sign of the Cross three times over the Chalice with the particle, saying:}

P: Pax * Domini sit * semper vobis*eum
S: Et cum spiritu tuo
{He drops the particle of the Host into the Chalice, saying:}

P: Haec comnuxtio et consecratio Corporis et Sanguinis Domini Nostri Jesu Christe fìat accipìentibus nobis in vitam aeternam

Amen


{Then genuflecting, bowing, and striking our breasts, we all say, or the Choir sings:}

The AGNUS DEI

P: Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis
P: Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis
P: Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mondi, dona nobis pacem

P: Domine JesuChrìste, Filii Dei vivi, qui ex voluntate Patris, cooperante Spirìtu Sancto, per mortem tuam mundum vivificasti: Libera nos per hoc sacrosanctum Corpus et Sanguinem tuum ab omnibus ìniquitatibus nostris, et unìversis malis: et fac nos tuis semper inhaerere mandatis, et a te numquam seperari permittas. Qui cum eodem Deo Patre et Spirìtu Sancto, vivis et regnas, Deus, in saecula saeculorum

All:  Amen

The Priest's Communion

{Here he genuflects, and taking the Host in his left hand , says:}

P: Pancm caelestem accipiam, et nomen Domnini invocabo.

{Striking his breast with his right hand with humility and devotion, he says thrice:}

P: Domine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meam, sed tantum dic verbo, et sanabitur anima mea

{Genuflecting and receiving reverently both parts of the Host he says:}

THE COMMUNION OF THE PEOPLE

{Celebrant genuflects, then holding a Host over the Chalice,
he displays them to the people and says:}


P: Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccata mundi; felices sumus qui ad cenam suam advocamur.

All:    Credo et confiteor, Domine, Tu esse Christus verus, Filius Dei Vivi, qui adventus es in hoc mundum pro salvationem peccatorum, quibus primus sum.  Creo etiam hic esse Corpus purus suus, et haex esse Sanguis sua vera.  Ideo precor tibi miserere nobis, remitte no peccata nostra, voluntarii et in voluntarii,  verbo et opere, gnotis et ignotis.  Fac nos dignes sine condemnationem interesse in tus Mysterias puras, pr remissionem peccatorum and pr vitam aeternam.

C:    Amen

The Postcommunion

{After communion is finished, the Celebrant brushes any crumbs from the Paten and Server's paten into the Chalice with the Purificator, and drinks the remainder of the wine, saying:}

P: Quod ore sumpsimus, Domine, pura mente capiamus, et de mimcre temporali fìat nobis remedium sempiternum,

{He may extend the chalice to the Server, asking for more wine to make a second ablution.}
{He (and any concelebrants) then go to the side, and the Server pours water over their fingers into the Chalice. He returns to the Altar, drinks the water, wipes the Chalice, and says:}

P: Corpus tuum, Domine, quod sumpsimus, et Sanguis, quem potavimus, adhaerat visceribus nostris: et praeste, ut in nos non remaneat sclerum macula, qucm pura et sancta refecerunt Sacramenta. Qui vivis et regnas in saecula saeculorum Amen

{He puts the Purificator on the Chalice, the Paten on top of that, the Pall atop the Paten, folds the Corporal and puts it in the Burse, then unfolds the Chalice veil, and puts it over the Pall, and the Burse on top of all.}

THE LAST GOSPEL

P: Dominus vobiscum

S: Et cum spiritu tuo

P: * Initium sancti Evangelii secundium Joannem

S: Gloria libi, Domine

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 ipsofactum est nihil quod factum est; in ipso vita erat. et vita erati lux hominum; et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt Fuit homo missus a Deo cui nomini erat Joannes. Hic venit in testamonium, et testimoniuim perhibcret de lumine, ut omnes crederent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine.  Erat lux vera qui 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 receperenlt cum, dedit eis potestatem filios Dei fieri; his qui credunt in Nomine eius, qui non ex sanginibus, neque ex voluntate viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt

{Here all genuflect}
