Et convéscens, præcépit eis ab Ierosólymis ne discéderent, sed exspectárent promissiónem Patris, quam audístis (inquit) per os meum: quia Ioánnes quidem baptizávit aqua, vos autem baptizabímini Spíritu Sancto non post multos hos dies. Ígitur qui convénerant interrogábant eum, dicéntes: Dómine, si in témpore hoc restítues regnum Israël? Dixit autem eis: Non est vestrum nosse témpora vel moménta, quæ Pater pósuit in sua potestáte: sed accipiétis virtútem superveniéntis Spíritus Sancti in vos, et éritis mihi testes in Ierúsalem, et in omni Iudǽa, et Samária, et usque ad últimum terræ. Et cum hæc dixísset, vidéntibus illis, elevátus est, et nubes suscépit eum ab óculis eórum. Cumque intueréntur in cœlum eúntem illum, ecce duo viri astitérunt iuxta illos in véstibus albis, qui et dixérunt: Viri Galilǽ i, quid statis THE EPISTLE From the Acts of the Apostles. Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles: The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began to do and to teach, until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He had chosen, He was taken up: to whom also He showed Himself alive after His Passion by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them and speaking of the Kingdom of God. And eating together with them, He commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (said He) by My mouth; for John indeed baptised with water, but you shal1 be baptised with the Holy Spirit not many days hence. They therefore who were come together asked Him, saying: Lord, will Thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel? But He said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments which the Father has put in His own power: but you shall receive the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon vou, and you shall be witnesses unto Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth. And when He had said these things, while they looked on, He was raised up: and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they were beholding Him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments, who also said: Ye men of 041Mass050316 Page 5 of 24

Cleanse my heart and my lips, O God almighty, Who cleansed the lips of the Prophet Isaiah with a burning coal; and through Thy gracious mercy, purify me that I may worthily proclaim The holy Gospel.

In like manner, after He had supped, taking also this excellent chalice into His holy and venerable hands, and giving Thee thanks, He blessed It, and gave It to His disciples, saying: Take and drink ye all of this: HIC EST ENIM CALIX SÁNGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET ÆTÉRNI TESTAMÉNTI: MYSTÉRIUM FÍDEI: QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDÉTUR IN REMISSIÓNEM PECCATÓRUM.

Per eúndem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen. He continues: 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 glorious Ascension into heaven, offer unto Thy most excellent Majesty, of Thy gifts bestowed upon us: a pure Host, a holy Host, a spotless Host, the holy Bread of eternal life, and the Chalice of eternal salvation. Upon which vouchsafe to look with a propitious and serene countenance, and to accept them, as Thou was graciously pleased to accept the gifts of Thy just servant Abel, the sacrifice of our Patriarch Abraham, and that which Thy High Priest Melchisedech offered to Thee, a holy sacrifice and spotless victim. We most humbly beseech Thee, almighty God, to command these Things to be carried by the hands of Thy holy Angel to Thine Altar on high, in the 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. The Celebrant prays for the dead and offers the Blood of Christ in their behalf. Meménto Be étiam, Dómine, famulórum, famularúmque tuárum, N. et N., qui nos præcessérunt cum signo fídei, et dórmiunt in somno pacis.

Amen. in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of cool refreshment, light and peace; through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. Striking his breast, and speaking aloud the first three Latin words, the Celebrant adds to the commemoration of the Church Suffering, that of the Church Militant and Triumphant: Nobis Also quoque peccatóribus fámulis tuis, de multitúdine miseratiónum tuárum sperántibus, partem áliquam, et societátem donáre dignéris, cum tuis sanctis Apóstolis et Martýribus: cum Ioánne, Stepháno, Matthía, Bárnaba, Ignátio, Alexándro, Marcellíno, Petro, Felicitáte, Perpétua, Agátha, Lúcia, Agnéte, Cæcília, Anastásia, et ómnibus Sanctis tuis: intra quorum nos consórtium, non æstimátor mériti, sed véniæ quǽsumus largítor, admítte.

Through Christ our Lord. Through whom, O Lord, Thou always creates, sanctifies, quicken, bless, and give us all these good things. The Celebrant finishes the Canon. He takes the Host and the Chalice and lifts them heavenwards. Per Through ip sum, et cum ip so, et in ip so, est tibi Deo Patri omnipoténti, in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, omnis honor et glória. Him, and with Him, and in Him, is to Thee, God the Father almighty, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, every honor and glory. THE PATER NOSTER The celebrant sings through Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónum. (He sings:) Per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. Orémus. Præcéptis salutáribus móniti, et divína institutióne formáti, audémus dícere: (He sings:) World without end. Let us pray. Taught by Thy saving precepts and guided by the divine institution, we dare to say: 041Mass050316 Page 16 of 24

(Silently). Deliver us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all evils, past, present and to come; and by the intercession of the blessed and glorious Mary, ever Virgin, Mother of God, and of Thy holy Apostles Peter and Paul and Andrew, and of all the saints, mercifully grant peace in our days, that thru the assistance of Thy mercy we may be always free from sin, and secure from all disturbance. Breaking the Sacred Host into two parts, and then placing the Half he held in his right hand upon the Paten, he says: Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus. Through the same Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God. He concludes by singing: V. Per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen. V. For ever and ever. R. Amen. Then, with his right hand he breaks off a small Particle of the half of the Host he holds in his left, placing the larger portion of It upon the paten alongside the right Half already there. Then, holding the small Particle in his right hand above the Chalice and holding the Chalice itself in his left hand by the node below the cup, he says in a clear voice: Pax + Dómini sit + semper vobís+cum. R. Et cum spíritu tuo. The peace + of the Lord be al+ways with + you. R. And also with you. He drops the Particle of the broken Host into the Chalice: saying in a low voice. 041Mass050316 Page 17 of 24

Amen. Dómine Iesu Christe, Fili Dei vivi, qui ex voluntáte Patris, cooperánte Spíritu Sancto, per mortem tuam mundum vivificásti: líbera me per hoc sacrosánctum Corpus et Sánguinem tuum ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis, et univérsis malis: et fac me tuis semper inhærére mandátis, et a te numquam separári permíttas: Qui cum eódem Deo Patre et Spíritu Sancto vivis et regnas, Deus, in sǽcula sæculórum.

(x3) He receives the Sacred Host. Corpus Dómini nostri Iesu Christi custódiat ánimam meam in vitam ætérnum. Quid retríbuam Dómino pro ómnibus quæ retríbuit mihi? Cálicem salutáris accípiam, et nomen Dómini invocábo. Laudens invocábo Dóminum, et inimícis meis salvus ero. He receives the Precious Blood. Sanguis Dómini nostri Iesu Christi custódiat ánimam meam in vitam ætérnam. Amen I will take the Bread of heaven, and call upon the name of the Lord. Lord, I am not worthy (in a low voice) that Thou should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my soul shall be healed. (x3) He receives the Sacred Host. May the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. What shall I render to the Lord for all He has rendered 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. He receives the Precious Blood.

May the Body of our Lord + Jesus Christ preserve thy soul unto life everlasting. Amen. After Communion the Priest retuns to the altar and reposes any remaining Hosts in the Tabernacle. He then begins with the Ablutions, during which he purifies the Paten, Ciborium, and Chalice. This is a reminder of the Church s Jewish origins and the ritual cleansing in the temple. 041Mass050316 Page 19 of 24

Grant, O 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. The Celebrant now moves to the Epistle side where the Servers pour water and wine over his fingers into the Chalice to purify them. Corpus tuum, Dómine, quod sumpsi, et Sánguis, quem potávi, adhǽreat viscéribus meis: et præsta; ut in me non remáneat scélerum mácula, quem pura et sancta refecérunt sacraménta: Qui vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculórum.

R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men; and the light shone forth in darkness, but the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through Him. He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light. That was the true light that 041Mass050316 Page 21 of 24
