Deliver us we beseech thee, O Lord, from all evils, past, present, and to come. And by the intercession of the blessed and ever glorious Virgin Mary, mother of God, and of the holy apostles Peter and Paul, of Andrew, and of all the saints mercifully grant peace in our days, that through the assistance of thy mercy, we may be always free from sin, and secure from all disturbance: through the same Lord Jesus Christ thy son, who liveth and reigneth with thee God, in unity with the holy Ghost. P. Per omnia sæcula sæculorum. P. World without end. R. Amen. R. Amen. P. Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum. P. May the peace of the Lord be always with you; R. Et cum spiritu tuo. R. And with thy spirit. Breaking the Host, he puts a particle thereof into the Chalice, saying: May this mixture together, and consecration of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus be to us that receive it, or _assist thereat_, effectual to eternal life. Amen. Then bowing and striking his breast, he says thrice: 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, have mercy on us. Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world, give us peace. {362} In Masses for the Dead, instead of "Have mercy on us," he says, twice, "Give them rest," and lastly "Give them eternal rest." The following Prayer is also omitted: Lord Jesus Christ who saidst to thy apostles "I leave you peace, I give you my peace," regard not my sins, but the faith of thy church, and vouchsafe to grant her that peace and unity which is agreeable to thy will; who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen. O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who, according to the will of thy Father, with the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, hast, by thy death, given life to the world, deliver me by this thy most sacred body and blood, from all my iniquities, and from all evils; make me always live up to thy commandments; and never suffer me to be separated from thee, who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen. Let not the participation of thy body, O Lord Jesus Christ, which I, though unworthy, presume to receive, turn to my judgment and condemnation; but let it, through thy mercy, become a safeguard and remedy, both of soul and body: who with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest God for ever and ever. Amen. Kneeling, rising, and taking the Host in his hands, he says: I will partake of this heavenly bread, and call upon the name of the Lord. He strikes his breast, saying devoutly, thrice: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof; speak only the word, and my soul shall be healed. {363}
