Qui pridie quam pateretur, accepit panem in sanctas ac venerabiles manus
suas, et elevatis oculis in cœlum, ad te Deum Patrem suum omnipotentem,
tibi gratias agens, benedixit, fregit, deditque discipulis suis, dicens:
Accipite, et manducate ex hoc omnes: Hoc est enim corpus meum.
Simili modo postquam cœnatum est, accipiens et hunc præclarum calicem in
sanctas ac venerabiles manus suas, item tibi gratias agens, benedixit,
deditque discipulis suis, dicens: Accipite, et bibite ex eo omnes: Hic est
enim calix sanguinis mei, novi et æterni testamenti: mysterium fidei: qui
pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum. Hæc
quotiescunque feceritis, in mei memoriam facietis.
After the consecration and elevation the priest proceeds:
Unde et memores, Domine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, ejusdem
Christi Filii tui Domini nostri tam beatæ Passionis, necnon et ab inferis
resurrectionis, sed et in cœlo gloriosæ ascensionis, offerimus præclaræ
majestati tuæ, de tuis donis ac datis, Hostiam puram, Hostiam sanctam,
Hostiam immaculatam, panem sanctum vitæ æternæ, et calicem salutis
perpetuæ.
(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 dead and admirable ascension into heaven, offer unto
Thy most excellent majesty, of Thy gifts bestowed, a pure Host, a holy
Host, an unspotted Host, the holy bread of eternal life, and chalice of
everlasting salvation.)
Supra quæ propitio ac sereno vultu respicere digneris, et accepta habere,
sicuti accepta habere dignatus es munera pueri tui justi Abel, et
sacrificium Patriarchæ nostri Abrahæ, et quod tibi obtulit summus sacerdos
tuus Melchisedech, sanctum sacrificium immaculatam, hostiam.
(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 just servant Abel, and the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham, and
that which Thy high priest Melchisedech offered to Thee, a holy sacrifice
and an unspotted victim.)
Supplices te rogamus, omnipotens Deus, jube hæc perferri per manus sancti
angeli tui in sublime altare tuum, in conspectu divinæ majestatis tuæ, ut
quotquot ex hac altaris participatione, sacro‐sanctum Filii tui corpus et
sanguinem sumpserimus, omni benedictione cœlesti, et gratia repleamur. Per
eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
(Most humbly do we beseech Thee, almighty God, to command these things to
be carried by the hands of Thy holy angel to the altar on high, in sight
of Thy divine majesty, that as many as shall partake of the most sacred
body and blood of Thy Son at this altar may be filled with every heavenly
grace and blessing. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.)
Commemoration of the Dead.
Memento etiam, Domine, famulorum famularumque tuarum N. et N., qui nos
præcesserunt cum signo fidei, et dormiunt in somno pacis.
