Answers to some Tridentine Mass questions
What is the Tridentine Mass?
It's the Mass used in the Catholic Church for almost 1500 years, until the introduction of the "New Mass" of  Paul VI following the Second Vatican Council.
Why is it called the Tridentine Mass?
Because it was codified by the Council of Trent in the 16th century. But the Mass itself is far older than that. The Canon, or central part, of the Mass dates back to the time of St Gregory in the sixth century where he made it official, but it can be found even earlier in the writings and practices of Saint Ambrose and Saint Antony the Great in the third century.
In 1570, Pope St Pius V - in his Papal Bull Quo Primum - said that priests could use the Tridentine rite forever, "without scruple of conscience or fear of penalty".
Wasn't the Tridentine Mass banned?
No, but following the Second Vatican Council, its public use was (unjustly) suppressed by most Paul VI and the Bishops.
After the introduction of  Paul VI's new Mass, the only priests given permission to say the Tridentine Mass publicly were priests of England and Wales, thanks to an indult (or permission) granted by the Vatican to Cardinal Heenan of Westminster.
Other priests - such as Padre Pio- continued to use the old Mass privately instead of the new rite.
After a thorough review of the teachings of the Catholic Church, this Mass could never be revoked and it is impossible to say that the perfect Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is a bad thing or needs to revamped. Never listen to those, even Bishops and "Popes", who tell you to do less for God. By going to the invalid Novus Ordo Mass, you are turning your back on the true sacrifice on Calvary, since the New Mass is directly connected to the wishes of the reformers (Protestant) of the Reformation and Freemasons. Do not believe those who try to tell you it is "just going back to its original form". That is like saying you can plant a seed, watch the tree grow, and then cut it down and ignore all the fruits through the centuries. Furthermore, this way of thinking is against Church teaching and has been previously condemned. Pope Saint Pius V warned us and made it clear that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass could never change. Please read the encyclical Quo Primum.
Papal Bull decreed by Pope Saint Pius V on July 14, 1570 which set in stone for all time the exactness of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to be said in the Mother Tongue of the Church
Servant of the Servants of God
Upon our elevation to the Apostolic throne We gladly turned Our mind and energies, and directed all Our thoughts, to the matter of preserving incorrupt the public worship of the Church; and We have striven, with God’s help, by every means in Our power to achieve that purpose.
Whereas amongst other decrees of the Holy Council of Trent We were charged with revision and re-issue of the sacred books, to wit the Catechism, the Missal and the Breviary; and whereas We have with God’s consent published a Catechism for the instruction of the faithful, and thoroughly revised the Breviary for the due performance of the Divine Office, We next, in order that Missal and Breviary might be in perfect harmony, as is right and proper (considering that it is altogether fitting that there should be in the Church only one appropriate manner of Psalmody and one sole rite of celebrating Mass), deemed it necessary to give Our immediate attention to what still remained to be done, namely the re-editing of the Missal with the least possible delay.
We resolved accordingly to delegate this task to a select committee of scholars; and they, having at every stage of their work and with the utmost care collated the ancient codices in Our Vatican Library and reliable (original or amended) codices from elsewhere, and having also consulted the writing of ancient and approved authors who have bequeathed to us records relating to the said sacred rites, thus restored the Missal itself to the pristine form and rite of the holy Fathers. When this production had been subjected to close scrutiny and further amended We, after mature consideration, ordered that the final result be forthwith printed and published in Rome, so that all may enjoy the fruits of this labor: that priests may know what prayers to use, and what rites and ceremonies they are to use henceforward in the celebration of Masses.
Now therefore, in order that all everywhere may adopt and observe what has been delivered to them by the Holy Roman Church, Mother and Mistress of the other churches, it shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or to read Masses according to any formula other than that of this Missal published by Us; this ordinance to apply to all churches and chapels, with or without care of souls, patriarchal, collegiate and parochial, be they secular or belonging to any religious Order whether of men (including the military Orders) or of women, in which conventual Masses are or ought to be sung aloud in choir or read privately according to the rites and customs of the Roman Church; to apply moreover even if the said churches have been in any way exempted, whether by indult of the Apostolic See, by custom, by privilege, or even by oath or Apostolic confirmation, or have their rights and faculties guaranteed to them in any other way whatsoever; saving only those in which the practice of saying Mass differently was granted over two hundred years ago simultaneously with the Apostolic See’s institution and confirmation of the church, and those in which there has prevailed a similar custom followed continuously for a period of not less than two hundred years; in which cases We in no wise rescind their prerogatives or customs aforesaid. Nevertheless, if this Missal which We have seen fit to publish be more agreeable to these last, We hereby permit them to celebrate Mass according to this rite, subject to the consent of their bishop or prelate, and of their whole Chapter, all else to the contrary notwithstanding. All other churches aforesaid are hereby denied the use of other missals, which are to be wholly and entirely rejected; and by this present Constitution, which shall have the force of law in perpetuity, We order and enjoin under pain of Our displeasure that nothing be added to Our newly published Missal, nothing omitted therefrom, and nothing whatsoever altered there in.
We specifically command each and every patriarch, administrator and all other persons of whatsoever ecclesiastical dignity, be they even Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, or, possessed of any other rank or pre-eminence, and We order them by virtue of holy obedience to sing or to read the Mass according to the rite and manner and norm herein laid down by Us, and henceforward to discontinue and utterly discard all other rubrics and rites of other missals, howsoever ancient, which they have been accustomed to follow, and not to presume in celebrating Mass to introduce any ceremonies or recite any prayers other than those contained in this Missal.
Furthermore, by these presents and by virtue of Our Apostolic authority, We give and grant in perpetuity that for the singing or reading of Mass in any church whatsoever this Missal may be followed absolutely, without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty, judgment or censure, and may be freely and lawfully used. Nor shall bishops, administrators, canons, chaplains and other secular priests, or religious of whatsoever Order or by whatsoever title designated, be obliged to celebrate Mass otherwise than enjoined by Us. We likewise order and declare that no one whosoever shall be forced or coerced into altering this Missal; and this present Constitution can never be revoked or modified, but shall forever remain valid and have the force of law, notwithstanding previous constitutions or edicts of provincial or synodal councils, and notwithstanding the usage of the churches aforesaid established by very long and even immemorial prescription, saving only usage of more than two hundred years.
Consequently it is Our will, and by the same authority We decree, that one month after publication of this Our Constitution and Missal, priests of the Roman Curia shall be obliged to sing or to read the Mass in accordance therewith; others south of the Alps, after three months; those who live beyond the Alps, after six months or as soon as the Missal becomes available for purchase.
Furthermore, in order that the said Missal may be preserved incorrupt and kept free from defects and errors, the penalty for nonobservance in the case of all printers resident in territory directly or indirectly subject to Ourselves and the Holy Roman Church shall be forfeiture of their books and a fine of 100 gold ducats payable ipso facto to the Apostolic Treasury. In the case of those resident in other parts of the world it shall be excommunication latae sententiae and all other penalties at Our discretion; and by Our Apostolic authority and the tenor of these presents. We also decree that they must not dare or presume either to print or to publish or to sell, or in any way to take delivery of such books without Our approval and consent, or without express permission of the Apostolic Commissary in the said parts appointed by us for that purpose. Each of the said printers must receive from the aforementioned Commissary a standard Missal to serve as an exemplar for subsequent copies, which, when made, must be compared with the exemplar and agree faithfully therewith, varying in no wise from the first impression printed in Rome.
But, since it would be difficult for this present Constitution to be transmitted to all parts of the world and to come to the notice of all concerned simultaneously, We direct that it be, as usual, posted and published at the doors of the Basilica of the Prince of the Apostles, at those of the Apostolic Chancery, and at the end of the Campo de’Fiori; moreover We direct that printed copies of the same, signed by a notary public and authenticated with the seal of an ecclesiastical dignitary, shall possess the same unqualified and indubitable validity everywhere and in every country that would attend the display there of Our present text. Accordingly, no one whosoever is permitted to infringe or rashly contravene this notice of Our permission, statute, ordinance, command, direction, grant, indult, declaration, will, decree and prohibition. Should any person venture to do so, let him understand that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.
Given at Saint Peter’s, Rome, in the year of Our Lord’s Incarnation one thousand five hundred and seventy, on the fourteenth day of July in the fifth year of Our Pontificate.
Comparison between the Tridentine Mass and the Novus Ordo Missae
Emphasis on individual "lifting his heart & mind to God."
Members of congregation direct attention to God, not each other.
Constant standing, sitting, amplified noise; atmosphere like a public meeting.
Socializing in church before & after service, and handshaking during.
Profound Reverence for Real Presence:
The hands of the priest alone touch the consecrated host.
Communion given only on tongue.
Indifference, Irreverence towards Real Presence:
Lay men & women distribute communion.
Communion given in hand—a practice protestants introduced to deny Christ's Real Presence.
Over the course of a year, presents all facets of Catholic doctrine.
Systematic Omission of Catholic Doctrines:
New prayers systematically omit references to hell, judgement, punishment for sin, merits of the Saints, the one true Church, the souls of the departed & miracles.
Bulk of Sunday prayers & their arrangement goes back at least to 300s and 400s AD.
Canon essentially the same since St. Ambrose (d. 397).
Old Sunday prayers omitted or stripped of doctrines, and rearranged in 1960s.
Only 17% of old prayers remain.
Chunks of ancient Canon are now "optional."
The words of consecration, Christ's own words "For you and for many" are changed.
Three substitute "Canons" invented & introduced in 1960s, and still more invented later.
Everything regulated by precise laws to protect purity of worship and doctrine.
Options, options and more options.
Individual priests & parish liturgy committees get to pick, drop or invent texts to push what they think people should believe.
Priest faces tabernacle, cross and altar (symbolically toward God).
Priest performs all the actions & recites all the prayers of the Mass.
Priest faces people instead of symbolically "toward God."
Priest sits off to side.
His functions given away to lay men and women.
What's the advantage of the Tridentine Mass?
The validity of the Tridentine Mass is shown, not only by the Papal Bull, but also its uniformity and experiencing the words of the Holy Ghost. Wherever Catholics go in the world, the Tridentine Mass is exactly the same. The movements and gestures of the Mass are clearly prescribed and each have a purpose, so there's no room for "personalization and innovations" and other abuses of the liturgy. And the time-honored Latin and Prayers of the Mass reverently reflects the sacrificial nature of the celebration and the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. This Mass expresses the Dogmas such as Purgatory and Blessed Mother, as well, there is no doubt that something heavenly is happening.
So are Catholics entitled to attend a Tridentine Mass if they wish?
Absolutely!  This question was added for those of you who are nervous of going against a Bishop, and rightly so. Many members of our community went through similar experiences and were afraid that they themselves were outside the Church. As we prayed and studied more, we started to learn the truth and stood up for the faith, the problems with the new mass and the new sacraments  are simply too overwhelming to list here on this website page. Simply ask yourself, how could the Mass that all the great saints attended be now a bad thing? As well you must come to terms with the fruits of the New Mass, for example, no reverence or modesty, no unity, liturgical abuses, ill informed priest, and empty pews. Judge it by the fruits, this Mass was not written by the Holy Ghost. You do not have to wait for a Bishop to "allow" a Tridentine Mass to be said in your diocese. Unfortunately we must fight and seek the Truth, even if that means going to a small chapel where the Tridentine Mass is offered. We certainly do not approve or advocate disobedience, but only advocate obedience to Divine Law and true Popes and Bishops. You must choose God over ill informed or evil men. Obedience to God and the teachings of His Holy Catholic Church come first. For instance, if you know a priest that says that Blessed Mother was not the Immaculate Conception, he would be denying a Dogma of the Catholic Church, therefore making him a heretic. You would not listen and follow this priest, in fact it is your responsibility to inform him otherwise. The truth is, many priest do not believe that Blessed Mother was the Immaculate Conception, and it gets much worse than that. The present authority of the Catholic Church is overwhelmingly corrupted by heresy and therefore the men who support these errors in Holy Mother Church do not hold any authority. The Devil is trying his best to destroy the One True Faith.
**Please investigate each place you go to for Mass. There are traditionalist, many with good intentions, that think they can be ordained by anyone and be a priest. Also please stay away from Traditional groups that have completely gone too far,. For instance, groups that have "elected" their own pope.
Lastly, it is very important to know that your priest should be validly ordained in the traditional rite. The reason for this is because the New Church has changed the consecration formula of Bishops in the late 60's . On November 13, 1947, Pope Pius XII had given us a specific form of consecration for validity in his encyclical Sacramentum Ordinis. This consecration has been used for centuries and has always had the essential words. Pope Pius XII  said the words in the consecration were absolutely needed for validity. The only word in the new consecration that remains the same as in the old is the word "and". The bishops that were ordained by this new consecration are in fact invalid (Roman Rite), therefore not making them priests. We realize that this is a lot to digest, but if you want valid sacraments you must find a priest that does the traditional rites and is validly ordained by a valid Bishop. Our Holy Mother Church is in a great spiritual war. We must continue to pray the rosary and read the teachings of the Doctors, saints and theologians of the pre-Vatican II era. For a more detailed explanation of this situation please go to our "Advocacy" link.
"When we enter ornate and clean Basilicas, adorned with crosses, sacred images, altars and burning lamps, we most easily conceive devotion.  But on the other hand, when we enter the temples of the heretics, where there is nothing except a chair for preaching and a table for making a meal, we feel ourselves to be entering a profane hall and not the House of God."

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, not factum, consubstantialem Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem descendit de coelis. ET INCARNATUS EST DE SPIRITU SANCTO EX MARIA VIRGINE: ET HOMO FACTUS EST. 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. 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. Amen.
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; of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven. (here all present kneel) AND WAS INCARNATE BY THE HOLY GHOST OF THE VIRGIN MARY, AND WAS MADE MAN. (here all arise) He was also crucified 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 sitteth at the right hand of the Father: and He shall come again with glory, to judge the living and the dead: and His kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who, together with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified: who spoke through the prophets. And one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. And I await the resurrection of the dead and the life + of the world to come. Amen.
May the Lord be with thee.
Et cum spiritu tuo.
And with thy spirit.

Mass of the Faithful-In the early Church, at this point the learners, or catechumens were dismissed.
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, Thine unworthy servant, offer to Thee, my living and true God, to atone for my numberless sins, offenses and negligences; on behalf of all here present and likewise for all faithful Christians living and dead, that it may profit me and them as a means of salvation to life everlasting. Amen.
Deus, + qui humanae substantiae dignitatem mirabiliter condidisti, et mirabilius reformasti: da nobis per hujus aquae et vini mysterium, ejus divinitatis 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 established the nature of man in wondrous dignity, and still more admirably restored it, grant that by the mystery signified in the mingling of this water and wine, may we come to share in His Divinity, who humbled himself to share in our humanity, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
Offerimus tibi, Domine, calicem salutaris, tuam deprecantes clementiam: ut in conspectu divinae majestatis tuae, pro nostra et totius mundi salute cum odore suavitatis ascendat.
We offer unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, humbly begging of Thy mercy that it may arise before Thy divine Majesty, with a pleasing fragrance, for our salvation and for that of the whole world.
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.
In a humble spirit and with a contrite heart, may we be accepted by Thee, O Lord, and may our sacrifice so be offered in Thy sight this day as to please Thee, who art our Lord and our God.
Veni, Sanctificator omnipotens aeterne Deus, et bene+dic hoc sacrificium tuo sancto nomini praeparatum.
Come, O Sanctifier, Almighty and Eternal God, and bless, + this sacrifice prepared for the glory of Thy holy Name.
The celebrant washes his fingers, saying these verses of Psalm 25
Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas: et circumdabo altare tuum, Domine. Ut audiam vocem laudis: et enarrem universa mirabila tua. Domine, dilexi decorem domus tuae: et locum habitationis gloriae tuae. Ne perdas cum impiis, Deus animam meam: et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam. In quorum manibus iniquitates sunt: dextera eorum repleta est muneribus. Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum: redime me, et miserere mei. Pes meus stetit in directo: in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper: et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
I wash my hands among the innocent, and I go around Your altar, O Lord, that I may hear the voice of praise, and tell of all Thy wondrous works. O Lord, I have loved 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. On their hands are crimes, and their right hands are full of bribes. But as for me I have walked in my innocence; redeem me, and have mercy on me. My foot has stood in the right way;s in the churches I will bless Thee, O Lord. 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.
Bowing at the middle of the altar, the celebrant prays:
Suscipe, sancta Trinitas, hanc oblationem, quam tibi offerimus ob memoriam passionis, resurrectionis, et ascensionis Jesu Christi Domini nostri: et in honorem beatae Mariae semper Virginis, et beati Joannis Baptistae, et sanctorum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli, et istorum, et omnium Sanctorum: ut illis proficiat ad honorem, nobis autem ad salutem: et illi pro nobis intercedere dignentur in coelis, quorum memoriam agimus in terris. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum.
Accept, most Holy Trinity, this offering which we are making to Thee in remembrance of the passion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, Our Lord; and in honor of blessed Mary, ever Virgin, Blessed John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and of (name of the Saints whose relics are in the Altar) and of all the Saints; that it may add to their honor and aid our salvation; and may they deign to intercede in heaven for us who honor their memory here on earth. Through the same Christ our Lord.
The priest turns to the congregation:
Orate fratres, ut meum ac vestrum sacrificium acceptabile fiat apud Deum Patrem omnipotentem.
Pray brethren, that my Sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God the Father Almighty.
Suscipiat Dominus sacrificium de manibus tuis, ad laudem et gloriam nominis sui, ad utilitatem quoque nostram, totiusque Ecclesiae suae sanctae.
May the Lord receive this Sacrifice from your hands to the praise and glory of His Name, for our good, and that of all His holy Church.
The priest says the Day's Secret Prayer, and at the end of the Secret, the Priest says audibly:
Per omnia saecula saeculorum.
For ever and ever.
May the Lord be with thee.
Et cum spiritu tuo.
And with thy spirit.
Lift up thy hearts.
We have lifted them up to the Lord.
Gratias agamus Domino Deo nostro.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
Dignum et justum est.
It is meet and just.
The Priest says the appropriate Preface. This is the Preface of the Holy Trinity.
Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus: qui cum unigenito Filio tuo, et Spiritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non in unius singularitate personae, sed in unius Trinitate substantiae. Quod enim de tua gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de filio tuo, hoc de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione verae, sempiternaeque Deitatis, et in personis proprietas, et in essentia unitas, et in majestate adoretur aequalitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archangeli, Cherubim quoque ac Seraphim: qui non cessant clamare quotidie, una voce dicentes:
It is indeed fitting and right, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give thanks to Thee, Lord, Holy Father, almighty and eternal God, Who together with Thine only-begotten Son and the Holy Ghost art one God, one Lord: Not in the oneness of a single person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe from Thy revelation concerning Thy glory, that also we believe of Thy Son and of the Holy Ghost without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, Cherubim also and the Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:
The bell is rung thrice.
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.

Memento, Domine, famulorum famularumque tuarum N. et N. et omnium circumstantium, quorum tibi fides cognita est, et nota devotio, pro quibus tibi offerimus, vel qui tibi offerunt hoc sacrificium laudis, pro se suisque omnibus: pro redemptione animarum suarum, pro spe salutis, et incolumitatis suae: tibique reddunt vota sua aeterno Deo, vivo et vero.
Remember, O Lord, Thy servants and handmaids, (name) and (name), and all here present, whose faith and devotion are known to Thee, on whose behalf we offer to Thee, or who themselves offer to Thee this sacrifice of praise for themselves, families and friends, for the salvation of their souls, and the health and welfare they hope for, and who now pay their homage to Thee, eternal, living and true God.

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.
The bell is run once.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 Thy elect. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Quam oblationem tu, Deus, in omnibus, quaesumus, bene+dictam, adscrip+tam, ra+tam, rationabilem, acceptabilemque facere digneris: ut nobis Cor+pus et San+guis fiat dilectissimi Filii tui Domini nostri Jesu Christi.

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, bene+dixit, fregit, diditque discipulis suis, dicens: Accipite, et manducate ex hoc omnes:

HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.
FOR THIS IS MY BODY.
The bell is run thrice.
Simili modo postquam coenatum est, accipiens et hunc praeclarum Calicem in sanctas ac venerabiles manus suas: item tibi gratias agens, bene+dixit, deditque discipulis suis, dicens: Accepite, et bibite ex eo omnes:
In like manner, after He had supper, 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:

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT, THE MYSTERY OF FAITH, WHICH FOR YOU AND FOR MANY SHALL BE SHED UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.

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 majestati 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, sicuti 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.
Deign to regard with gracious and kindly attention and hold acceptable, as Thou deigned to accept the offerings of Abel, Thy just servant, and the sacrifice of Abraham our Patriarch, and that which Thy high priest Melchisedech offered to Thee, a holy Sacrifice and a spotless victim.
Supplices te rogamus, omnipotens Deus, jube haec perferri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublime altare tuum, in conspectu divinae majestatis tuae: ut quotquot ex hac altaris participatione, sacrosanctum Filii tui Cor+pus, et San+guinem sumpserimus, omni benedictione coelesti et gratia repleamur.

+ Initium sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
+ The beginning of the holy Gospel according to St. John.
Glory be to You, O Lord.
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. Fuit homo missus a Deo cui nomen erat Joannes. Hic venit in testimonium, ut 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 carnis, neque ex voluntate viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST et habitabit in nobis; et vidimus gloriam eius gloriam quasi unigenti a Patre, plenum gratiae et veritatis.
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 comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men might believe through him. He was not that Light, but was to give testimony of the 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, 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. (genuflect here) 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.
Thanks be to God.

THE ORDINARY OF THE MASS
On coming to the altar the priest unfolds the corporal and prepares the chalice by pouring in wine and water.  When presenting the water, the server says:
The priest blesses the water with the formula:
P.  In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
P.  In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
This blessing is not given in Masses for the Dead.  At a sung Mass (Missa Cantata) the priest does not uncover the chalice until the Responsory.  At a Solemn Mass the chalice is carried by the subdeacon to the priest who is seated on the Epistle side of the altar.
A. MASS OF THE CATECHUMENS
This part of the Mass is so called because the public penitents and catechumens were allowed to be present at it.
(FROM THE ASPERGES TO THE COLLECT)
The priest says in a low voice:
Actiones nostras, quaesumus Domine, aspirando praeveni et adjuvando prosequere; ut cuncta nostra operatio a te semper incipiat, et per te coepta finiatur.  Per Christum Dominum nostrum.  Amen.
Prevent, O Lord, we beseech thee, our actions by thy inspiration, and continue them by thine assistance; that every one of our works may begin always from thee, and through thee be ended.  Through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
Then the priest descends to the foot of the altar, makes a profound inclination, and begins with the sign of the cross:
P.  In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
P.  Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus.
S.  Quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
P.  Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, et beatae Mariae semper virgine, et beato Dominico patri nostro, et omnibus sanctis, et vobis, fratres, quia peccavi nimis, cogitatione, locutione, opere et omissione, mea culpa; precor vos orare pro me.
S.  Misereatur tui omnipotens Deus et dimittat tibi omnia peccata tua: liberet te ab omni malo, salvet et confirmet te in omni opere bono, et perducat te ad vitam aeternam.
S.  Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, et beatae Mariae semper virgini, et beato Dominico patri nostro, et omnibus sanctis, et tibi pater, quia peccavi nimis, cogitatione, locutione, opere et omissione, mea culpa; precor te orare pro me.
P.  Misereatur vestri, omnipotens Deus, et dimittat vobis omnia peccata vestra: liberet vos ab omni malo, salvet, et confirmet vos in omni opere bono, et perducat vos ad vitam aeternam.
P.  Absolutionem et remissionem omnium peccatorum vestrorum, tribuat vobis omnipotens et misericors Dominus.
P.  Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.
S.  Qui fecit caelum et terram.
P.  In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
P.  Praise the Lord for He is good.
S.  For His Mercy endureth for ever.
P.  I confess to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever a virgin, to blessed Dominic our father, to all the saints and to you, brethren, that I have sinned exceedingly by thought, word, deed and omission, through my fault: I beseech you to pray for me.
S.  May almighty God have mercy on thee and forgive thee all thy sins: may he free thee from all evil, strengthen and confirm thee in every good work, and bring thee to life everlasting.
S.  I confess to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever a virgin, to blessed Dominic our father, to all the saints and to you father, that I have sinned exceedingly by thought, word, deed and omission, through my fault: I beseech you to pray for me.
P.  May almighty God have mercy upon you and forgive you all your sins: may he free you from all evil, strengthen and confirm you in every good work, and bring you to life everlasting.
P.  May the almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins.
P.  Our help is in the name of the Lord.
S.  Who made heaven and earth.
The priest goes up to the altar, and inclining says:
Aufer a nobis, Domine, iniquitates nostras, ut ad Sancta Sanctorum, puris mereamur mentibus introire.  Per Christum Dominum nostrum.  Amen.
Take away from us all our iniquities, O Lord, that we may be worthy to enter with pure minds into the Holy of Holies.  Through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
After making the sign of the cross on the altar the priest kisses it; then signing himself, he goes to the missal to read the office.
P.  Lord have mercy on us.
S.  Lord have mercy on us.
P.  Lord have mercy on us.
S.  Christ have mercy on us.
P.  Christ have mercy on us.
S.  Christ have mercy on us.
P.  Lord have mercy on us.
S.  Lord have mercy on us.
P.  Lord have mercy on us.
Then follows the Gloria:
Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.  Laudamus te.  Benedicimus te.  Adoramus te.  Glorificamus te.  Gratias agimus tibi, propter magnam gloriam tuam.  Domine Deus, rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens, Domine, Fili Unigenite Jesu Christe; Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris: qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis; qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram.  Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis.  Quoniam tu solus sanctus, tu solus Dominus, tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris.  Amen.
Glory to God in the highest, 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 upon us.  Who takest away the sins of the world, receive out prayer.  Who sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.  For thou only art holy.  Thou only art Lord.  Thou only, O Jesus Christ, art Most High, together with the Holy Ghost, in the glory of God the Father.  Amen.
The Gloria is omitted during Advent, from Septuagesima to Holy Saturday exclusively (except on Maundy Thursday), on Ferial days and in Masses for the Dead.
The priest turns to the people, and says:
S.  Et cum spiritu tuo.
P.  The Lord be with you.
S.  And with thy spirit.
He then reads the Collect.
At the end of the Collect the server answers: Amen.
Then follow the Epistle and the Responsory, after which, going to the Gospel side of altar he says in a low voice:
P.  Dominus sit in corde meo et in labiis meis ad pronuntiandum sanctum evangelium pacis.
P.  May the Lord be in my heart and on my lips, that I may announce the gospel of peace.
He begins the Gospel by saying:
S.  Et cum spiritu tuo.
P.  Sequentia sancti evangelii secundum …
S.  Gloria tibi Domine.
P.  The Lord be with you.
S.  And with thy spirit.
P.  The continuation of the holy gospel according to …
S.  Glory be to thee, O Lord.
While saying this he signs himself with the thumb on forehead, lips and heart, and then blesses himself with the ordinary sign of the cross.  The faithful sign themselves in the same way as the priest.
After the Gospel the priest first blesses himself in the ordinary way, and then the missal: after which he kisses the book, saying:
P.  Per evangelica dicta deleantur nostra delicta.
P.  May our sins be washed away by the words of the gospel.
The priest now begins the Creed (if the rubric orders it) in the middle of the altar, continuing it at the missal:
Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem caeli 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 caelis (hic genuflectitur) et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria virgine: ET HOMO FACTUS EST.  Crucifixus etiam pro nobis, sub Pontio Pilato, passus et sepultus est: Et resurrexit tertia die secundum scripturas, et ascendit in caelum, sedet ad dexteram Patris, et iterum venturus est cum gloria, judicare vivos et mortuos: cujus regni non erit finis. 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 in unam, sanctam, catholicam, et apostolicam ecclesiam.  Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum.  Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi saeculi.  Amen.
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 (here all kneel); and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost, of the virgin Mary: AND WAS MADE MAN.  He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried.  And the third day he rose again according to the scriptures; and ascended into heaven.  He sitteth at the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead: and his kingdom shall have no end.  And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son.  Who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.  And one holy catholic and apostolic church.  I confess one baptism for the remission of sins.  And I await the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.  Amen.
B. MASS OF THE FAITHFUL.
1. FROM THE OFFERTORY TO THE PREFACE.
S.  Et cum spiritu tuo.
P.  The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
P.  Let us pray.
The Offertory now follows.
P.  Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quae retribuit mihi?
P.  What shall I render to the Lord for all that he hath rendered to me?
Taking up the chalice with the paten and host thereon, he says:
P.  Calicem salutaris accipiam et nomen Domini invocabo.
P.  I will take the chalice of salvation and will call upon the name of the Lord.
While offering the chalice he says:
P.  Suscipe sancta Trinitas hanc oblationem, quam tibi offero in memoriam passionis Domini nostri Jesu Christi: et praesta, ut in conspectu tuo tibi placens ascendat, et meam et omnium fidelium salutem operetur aeternam.
P.  Receive, O holy Trinity, this offering, which I present to thee in memory of the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ: and grant that it may ascend to thee worthily in thy sight, and may bring about my eternal salvation and that of all the faithful.
In Solemn Masses the incense is used here.
He now washes his fingers, saying at the same time:
Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas, et circumdabo altare tuum Domine: ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.  Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae, et locum habitationis gloriae tuae.
I will wash my hands among the innocent, and will compass thine altar, O Lord, that I may hear the voice of thy 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.
Bowing down in the middle of the altar he says:
In spiritu humilitatis, et in animo contrito, suscipiamur Domine a te: et sic fiat sacrificium nostrum, ut a te suscipiatur hodie, et placeat tibi Domine Deus.
In humble Spirit and with a contrite heart may we be received by thee, O Lord: and may our sacrifice be so performed that it be received by thee this day, and be pleasing to thee, O Lord God.
He turns to the people inviting them to unite themselves with him in the mass:
Orate fratres, ut meum ac vestrum pariter in conspectu Domini sit acceptum sacrificium.
Pray, brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
Turning back to the altar he says:
Domine exaudi orationem meam: et clamor meus ad te veniat.
O Lord hear my prayer: and let my cry come unto thee.
After the Secret prayers he says aloud:
P.  Per omnia saecula saeculorum.
P.  World without end.
2.  THE PREFACE OF THE CANON OF THE MASS.
S.  Et cum spiritu tuo.
S.  Habemus ad Dominum.
P.  Gratias agamus Domino Deo nostro.

It is truly meet and just, right and salutary, that we should always and in all thanks to thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God.

Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, te quidem Domine omni tempore, sed in hoc potissimum die (vel in hoc potissimum) gloriosus praedicare, cum Pascha nostra immolatus est Christus.

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT, THE MYSTERY OF FAITH: WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.
He adores the Blood, raises the chalice for the people, and again kneels.  Rising, he says:
Haec quotiescumque feceritis, in mei memoriam facietis.
As often as ye shall do these things ye shall do them in remembrance of me.
He extends his arms in the form of a cross, saying:
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 caelos gloriosae ascensionis, offerimus praeclarae majestati tuae de tuis donis ac datis,

He extends his arms saying:

Upon which vouchsafe to look with a propitious and serene countenance, and to accept them, as thou wert graciously pleased to accept the gifts of thy righteous servant Abel and the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham and that which thy high priest Melchisedech offered to thee, a holy sacrifice, a spotless host.
He now inclines profoundly.

Praeceptis salutaribus moniti, et divina institutione formati, audemus dicere:
Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum; adveniat regnum tuum; fiat voluntas tua, sicut in coelo et in terra.  Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobia hodie; et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.  Et ne inducas in tentationem.
S.  Sed libera nos a malo.
Taught by thy saving precepts and following thy 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 them that trespass against us.  And lead us not into temptation.
S.  But deliver us from evil.
He joins his hands.
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, propitius pacem in diebus nostris: ut ope misericordiae tuae adjuti, et a peccato simus semper liberi, et ab omni perturbatione securi.  Per eumdem Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus.
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, together with thy blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and Andrew, and all the saints, graciously grant peace in our days: that by the help of thy mercy we may be always free from sin, and secure from disturbance.

After dividing the Body, raising his voice, he 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, grant us peace.
He now drops the particle into the chalice.
Haec sacrosancta commixtio corporis et sanguinis Domini nostri Jesu Christi fiat mihi, et omnibus sumentibus, salus mentis et corporis; et ad vitam aeternam promerendam atque capessendam praeparatio salutaris. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum.  Amen.
May this most sacred commingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ be to me and to all who receive it, health of mind and body; and a salutary preparation for meriting and obtaining eternal life. Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
Bowing down he says:
Domine Jesu Christe Fili Dei vivi, qui ex voluntate Patris, cooperante Spiritu Sancto, per mortem tuam mundum vivificasti: libera me per hoc sacrosanctum corpus et sanguinem tuum ab omnibus iniquitatibus meis, et universis malis; et fac me tuis semper inhaerere mandatis, et a te nunquam separari permittas: Qui cum eodem Deo Patre et Spiritu Sancto vivis et regnas Deus in saecula saeculorum.  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 holy Body and Blood from all my iniquities and from all evils, and make me ever cling to thy command, and never suffer me to be separated from thee: Who with the same God the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest God for ever and ever.  Amen.
Receiving the Body and Blood the priest says:
Corpus et sanguis Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat me in vitam aeternam.  Amen.
May the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ keep me unto eternal life.  Amen.
After the priest has received the Precious Blood the server recites theConfiteor for those who wish to receive Communion.  The priest gives the Absolution, and then lifting the sacred host says:
Ecce Agnus Dei: ecce qui tollit peccata mundi.
Behold the Lamb of God: behold him who taketh away the sins of the world.
Then he says three times:
Domine non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum, sed tantum dic verbo et sanabitur anima mea.
Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof: say but the word and my soul shall he healed.
Then he communicates the faithful saying:
Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat te in vitam aeternam.  Amen.
May the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ keep thee unto eternal life.  Amen.
He then washes his fingers saying:
Quod ore sumpsimus, Domine, pura mente capiamus; ut de corpore et sanguine Domini nostri Jesu Christi fiat nobis remedium sempiternum.  Amen.
May we house in a pure heart, O Lord, what we have received with our lips; so that of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ there may be made for us an everlasting healing.  Amen.
When the priest has purified and covered the chalice, he reads the Communion Antiphon, and then salutes the people.
S.  Et cum spiritu tuo.
P. The Lord be with you.
S.  And with thy spirit.
Then he reads the Postcommunion, to which the server replies: Amen.
He again turns towards the people, saying
S.  Et cum spiritu tuo.
P.  Ite, missa est.
P.  The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
P.  Go, you are dismissed.
S.  Thanks be to God.
When the Gloria has been omitted he says:
P.  Let us bless the Lord.
S.  Thanks be to God.
In Masses for the dead he says:
P.  Requiescant in pace.
P.  May they rest in peace.
Bowing before the altar he says:
Placeat tibi sancta Trinitas obsequium servitutis meae; et praesta ut sacrificium, quod oculis tuae majestatis indignus obtuli tibi sit acceptabile, mihique, et omnibus pro quibus illud obtuli, sit te miserante propitiabile.  Per Christum Dominum nostrum.  Amen.
May the performance of my homage be pleasing to thee O holy Trinity; and grant that the sacrifice which I, unworthy as I am, have offered up in the sight of thy majesty may be acceptable to thee, and through thy mercy be propitiation for me, and for all for whom I have offered it. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The priest then kisses the altar, and turning to the people gives them his blessing:
Benedictio Dei omnipotentis, Patris et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, descendat super te et maneat semper.
May the blessing of almighty God, Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost descend upon you and remain with you always.
Turning towards the Gospel side of the altar he says:
S.  Et cum spiritu tuo.
P.  The Lord be with you.
S.  And with thy spirit.
While signing himself he says:
P. Initium sancti evangelii …
vel: Sequentia sancti evangelii
S.  Gloria tibi Domine.
P. The beginning of the holy gospel …
or: The continuation of the holy gospel …
S.  Glory be to thee, O Lord.
He then reads the Gospel of S.  John, if no other be appointed:
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. Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joannes. Hic venit in testimonium, ut 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 ejus, qui non ex sanguinibus, neque ex voluntate carnis, neque ex voluntate viri sed ex Deo nati sunt.  (Hic genuflecitur). ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST, et habitavit in nobis, et vidimus gloriam ejus, gloriam quasi Unigeniti a Patre plenum gratiae et veritatis.
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, he gave them 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.  (Here kneel down. ) AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH and dwelt among us: and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the Only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
S. Thanks be to God.
PRAYERS FOR THE KING.
In England the following prayers are said for the King after High Mass on Sundays:
Domine, salvum fac regem nostrum N. ; et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te.  Gloria Patri.
Quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, ut famulus tuus, N. , Rex noster, qui tua miseratione suscepit regni gubernacula virtutum etiam omnium percipiat incrementum: quibus decenter ornatus, et vitiorum monstra devitare (tempore belli: hostes superare), et ad te, qui via, veritas et vita es, cum regina consorte et prole regia, gratiosus valeat pervenire.  Per Christum Dominum nostrum.  Amen.
O Lord, save N. , our king; and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.  Glory be.
We beseech thee, almighty God, that thy servant N. , our king, who in thy merciful providence has been called to rule over this kingdom, may also receive from thee an increase of all virtues: thus becomingly adorned may he avoid all evil doing (in time of war: overcome his enemies), and by thy grace attain, together with the queen consort and their royal offspring, to thee, who art the way, the truth and the life.  Through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
PRAYERS TO BE SAID AFTER LOW MASS
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum; benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus.  Sancta Maria, mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.  Amen.
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.
This is repeated a second and a third time.
Salve Regina, mater misericordiae, vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.  Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Hevae, ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hoc lacrymarum valle.  Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.  Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.  O clemens, O pia, O dulcis virgo Maria.
V. Ora pro nobis, Sancta Dei Genetrix.
R.  Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
Deus, refugium nostrum et virtus, propulum ad te clamantem propitius re spice; et intercedente gloriosa et immaculata virgine Dei genitrice Maria, cum beato Joseph ejus sponso, ac beatis apostolis tuis Petro et Paulo, et omnibus sanctis, quas pro conversione peccatorum, pro libertate et exaltatione sanctae matris ecclesiae, preces effundimus, misericors et benignus exaudi.  Per Christum Dominum nostrum.  Amen.
Sancte Michael archangele, defende nos in praelio, contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.  Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, princeps militiae caelestis, satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute in infernum detrude.  Amen.
Cor Jesu sacratissimum, miserere nobis.
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 vale 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.
V. Pray for us, O holy mother of God.
R.  That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
O God, our refuge and out strength, look down in mercy on thy people who cry to thee; and by the intercession of the glorious and immaculate virgin Mary, mother of God, of S.  Joseph her spouse, of thy blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the saints, in mercy and goodness hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners, and for the liberty and exaltation of our holy mother the church.  Through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.
Holy Michael archangel, defend us in the day of battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.  May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God thrust down to hell satan and all wicked spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.  Amen.
Most sacred heart of Jesus, have mercy upon us.
This aspiration is repeated three times.
