The Roman Missal: the Canon of the Mass (Latin and English) 5

1[The priest kneels down, rises, and says:]

2I will take the Bread of heaven, and call upon the name of the Lord.

Panem cœléstem accípiam, et nomen Dómini invocábo.

3[Then, bowing a little, he takes both parts of the host with the thumb and first finger of his left hand, and the paten between his first and middle finger. He strikes his breast with his right hand, and, slightly raising his voice, says three times reverently and humbly:]

4Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed.

Dómine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea.

5[He makes the sign of the cross with the host in his right hand over the paten, and says:]

6May the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen.

Corpus Dómini nostri Jesu Christi custódiat ánimam meam in vitam ætérnam. Amen.

7[He receives both portions of the host reverently, joins his hands together, and remains for a little while quietly meditating on the most holy Sacrament. Then he uncovers the chalice, kneels, gathers up the crumbs, if there are any, and wipes the paten above the chalice, whilst he says:]

8What return shall I make to the Lord for all he hath given unto me? I will take the Chalice of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. Praising I will call upon the Lord, and I shall be saved from my enemies.

Quid retríbuam Dómino pro ómnibus, quæ retríbuit mihi? Cálicem salutáris accípiam, et nomen Dómini invocábo. Laudans invocábo Dóminum, et ab inimícis meis salvus ero.

9[He takes the chalice into his right hand, and making the sign of the cross on himself with it, he says:]

10May the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ keep my soul unto life everlasting, Amen.

Sanguis Dómini nostri Jesu Christi custódiat ánimam meam in vitam ætérnam. Amen.

11[He receives the precious blood with the particle. Then, if there are any communicants, he should give them communion before purifying. Afterwards he says:]

12Grant, Lord, that what we have taken with our mouth we may receive with a pure mind; and that from a temporal gift it may become for us an eternal remedy.

Quod ore súmpsimus, Dómine, pura mente capiámus; et de múnere temporáli fiat nobis remédium sempitérnum.

13[Meanwhile he passes the chalice to the server, who pours into a little wine, with which he cleanses his fingers; then he continues:]

14May thy Body, O Lord, which I have received, and thy Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my bowels; and grant that no stain of sin may remain in me, whom thy pure and holy sacraments have refreshed; who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.

Corpus tuum, Dómine, quod sumpsi, et Sanguis quem potávi, adhæreat viscéribus meis: et præsta; ut in me non remáneat scélerum mácula, quem pura et sancta refecérunt sacraménta. Qui vivis et regnas in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

15[He washes his fingers, wipes them, and takes the ablution; he wipes his mouth and the chalice, which he covers, and after folding up the corporal, arranges it on the altar as before. Then he continues mass. After the last Postcommunion the priest says:]
