Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique
gratias agere, Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, æterne Deus. Qui cum
unigenito Filio tuo et Spiritu Sancto unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non
in unius singularitate personæ, sed in unius trinitate substantiæ. Quod
enim de tua gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Filio tuo, hoc de
Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione
veræ sempiternæque Deitatis, et in Personis proprietas, et in essentia
unitas, et in majestate adoretur æqualitas. Quam laudant angeli atque
archangeli, cherubim quoque ac seraphim, qui non cessant clamare quotidie,
una voce dicentes:
(It is truly meet and just, right and available to salvation, that we
should always and in all places give thanks to Thee, O holy Lord, Father
almighty, eternal God. Who together with Thy only‐begotten Son and the
Holy Ghost art one God and one Lord: not in a singularity of one person,
but in a trinity of one substance. For what we believe of Thy glory, as
Thou hast revealed the same, we believe of Thy Son and of the Holy Ghost,
without any difference or distinction. So that in confession of the true
and eternal Deity we adore a distinction in the persons, and unity in the
essence, and an equality in the majesty. Whom the angels and archangels,
the cherubim also and seraphim, praise, and cease not daily to cry out
with one voice, saying:)
Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt cœli et terra
gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis.
(Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Thy
glory. Hosanna in the highest.)
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
(Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the
highest.)
The Canon of the Mass.
Te igitur, clementissime Pater, per Jesum Christum Filium tuum Dominum
nostrum, supplices rogamus ac petimus, uti accepta habeas, et benedicas,
hæc dona, hæc munera, hæc sancta sacrificia illibata, imprimis quæ tibi
offerimus pro Ecclesia tua sancta Catholica, quam pacificare, custodire,
adunare, et regere digneris toto orbe terrarum, una cum famulo tuo Papa
nostro N., et Antistite nostro N., et omnibus orthodoxis, atque Catholicæ
et Apostolicæ fidei cultoribus.
(We therefore humbly pray and beseech Thee, most merciful Father, through
Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, to accept and bless these gifts, these
presents, these holy unspotted sacrifices, which, in the first place, we
offer Thee for Thy holy Catholic Church, to which vouchsafe to grant
peace, as also to preserve, unite, and govern it throughout the world;
together with Thy servant N., our Pope, and our bishop N., as also all
orthodox believers and professors of the Catholic and apostolic faith.)
Commemoration of the Living.
