My LORD’s BibleThe Roman Missal: the Ordinary of the Mass before the Canon (Latin and English) 6
1[Then he reads the offertory, and uncovers the chalice. Taking the paten with the host, he says,]
2Receive O holy Father, Almighty eternal God, this unspotted host, which I thy unworthy servant offer to thee my living and true God, for my innumerable sins, offences and negligences, and for all here present, as also for all faithful Christians living and dead: that it may be available for me and them to life everlasting. Amen.
Suscipe sancte Pater omnipotens æterne Deus, hanc immaculatam hostiam, quam ego indignus famulus tuus offero tibi Deo meo vivo et vero, pro innumerabilibus peccatis et offensionibus et negligentiis meis, et pro omnibus circumstantibus, sed et pro omnibus fidelibus Christianis vivis atque defunctis: ut mihi et illis proficiat ad salutem in vitam æternam. Amen.
3[Putting wine and water into the chalice, he says,]
4O God who didst wonderfully constitute the dignity of human nature, and still more wonderfully reform it: grant that by the mystery of this water and wine we may be partakers of his divinity, who vouchsafed to become a partaker of our human nature, Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord: who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost; world without end. Amen.
Deus, qui humanæ substantiæ dignitatem mirabiliter condidisti, et mirabilius reformasti: da nobis per hujus aquæ et vini mysterium, ejus divinitatis esse consortes, qui humanitatis nostræ fieri dignatus est particeps, Jesus Christus, Filius tuus Dominus noster: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus; per omnia sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
5[Offering up the chalice, he says,]
6We offer to thee O Lord, the chalice of salvation, beseeching thy clemency: that it may ascend with an odour of sweetness in the sight of thy Divine Majesty for our salvation and that of the whole world. Amen.
Offerimus tibi Domine, calicem salutaris, tuam deprecantes clementiam: ut in conspectu divinæ majestatis tuæ, pro nostra et totius mundi salute cum odore suavitatis ascendat. Amen.
8May we be received by thee, O Lord, in the spirit of humility, and in a contrite mind; and so may our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may be pleasing to thee, O Lord God.
In spiritu humilitatis, et in animo contrito suscipiamur a te Domine: et sic fiat sacrificium nostrum in conspectu tuo hodie, ut placeat tibi Domine Deus.
9[Raising his hands and eyes, he says,]
10Come, O Almighty and eternal God the sanctifier, and bless this sacrifice prepared for thy holy name.
Veni sanctificator omnipotens æterne Deus, et benedic hoc sacrificium tuo sancto nomini præparatum.
11[At High Mass, he blesses the incense, saying,]
12By the intercession of blessed Michael the archangel standing on the right hand of the altar of incense, and of all his elect, may the Lord vouchsafe to bless this incense, and receive it as an odour of sweetness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Per intercessionem beati Michaelis archangeli stantis a dextris altaris incensi, et omnium electorum suorum, incensum istud dignetur Dominus benedicere, et in odorem suavitatis accipere. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
14May this incense blessed by thee, ascend to thee, O Lord, and may thy mercy descend upon us.
Incensum istud a te benedictum, ascendat ad te Domine, et descendat super nos misericordia tua.
15[Then he incenses the Altar, saying,]
16Let my prayer be directed, O Lord, as incense, in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands as even sacrifice. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips: that my heart may not incline to evil words: to make excuses in sins.
Dirigatur, Domine, oratio mea, sicut incensum, in conspectu tuo; elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum. Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis: ut non declinet cor meum in verba malitiæ, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis.
17[Returning the thurible to the Deacon, he says,]
19[Washing his hands, he says,]
20I will wash my hands among the innocent: and will compass thy altar, O Lord.
Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas: et circumdabo altare tuum Domine.
21That I may hear the voice of praise: and tell of all thy marvellous works.
Ut audiam vocem laudis: et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.
23Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked; nor my life with bloody men.
Ne perdas cum impiis Deus animam meam: et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam.
24In whose hands are iniquities, their right hand is filled with gifts.
In quorum manibus iniquitates sunt: dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.
25But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.
Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum: redime me, et miserere mei.
26My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
Pes meus stetit in directo: in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine.
27Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost.
Gloria Patri, et Filio: et Spiritui Sancto.
28As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper: et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
29[The Gloria Patri is omitted in Masses of Requiem for the dead, and in Passion time.]
30[Bowing down before the Altar, the Priest says,]
31Receive O holy Trinity, this oblation which we offer to thee, in memory of the passion, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ; and in honour of blessed Mary ever virgin, and blessed John Baptist, and the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and of these, and all the saints: that it may be to their honour and our salvation: and may they vouchsafe to intercede for us in heaven, whose memory we celebrate on earth. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Suscipe sancta Trinitas hanc oblationem, quam tibi offerimus ob memoriam passionis, resurrectionis et ascensionis Jesu Christi Domini nostri: et in honore beatæ Mariæ semper virginis, et beati Joannis Baptistæ, et sanctorum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli, et istorum, et omnium sanctorum: ut illis proficiat ad honorem, nobis autem ad salutem: et illi pro nobis intercedere dignentur in cœlis, quorum memoriam agimus in terris. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
32[Turning to the people, he says aloud,]
33Brethren, pray,
Orate, fratres,
34[And continues in a low voice,]
35that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God the Father Almighty.
ut meum ac vestrum sacrificium acceptabile fiat apud Deum Patrem Omnipotentem.
36[The Acolyth answers,]
37May the Lord receive the sacrifice from thy hands, to the praise and glory of his name, for our benefit, and that of all his holy Church.
Suscipiat Dominus sacrificium de manibus tuis ad laudem et gloriam nominis sui, ad utilitatem quoque nostram, totiusque ecclesiæ suæ sanctæ.
