(Cleanse my heart and my lips, O almighty God, Who didst cleanse the lips of the prophet Isaias with a burning coal: vouchsafe so to cleanse me by Thy gracious mercy that I may be able worthily to proclaim Thy holy Gospel. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.) Then he takes the book from the altar, and, kneeling before the priest, asks his blessing. The priest answers: Dominus sit in corde tuo et in labiis tuis, ut digne et competenter annunties Evangelium suum. Amen. (The Lord be in thy heart and on thy lips, that thou mayest worthily and in becoming manner announce His Gospel. Amen.) _V._ Dominus vobiscum. (_V._ The Lord be with you.) _R._ Et cum spiritu tuo. (_R._ And with thy spirit.) Initium (vel sequentia) sancti Evangelii secundum N. (The beginning (or continuation) of the holy Gospel according to N.) _R._ Gloria tibi, Domine. (_R._ Glory be to Thee, O Lord.) Gospel. (Matt. xxviii.) At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. _R._ Laus tibi, Christe! (_R._ Praise be to Thee, O Christ!) The Nicene Creed. Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem cœli et terræ, visibilium omnium, et invisibilium. Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum: et ex Patre natum ante omnia sæcula: 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 cœlis. 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 cœlum, 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 unam sanctam Catholicam et Apostolicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum Baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi sæculi. Amen.
