Preparation for Communion

Let us pray. Instructed by Thy saving precepts, and following Thy divine institution, we are bold to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation.

M. But deliver us from evil.

P. Amen.

RubricThen the priest takes the paten between the first and second finger and says:

Deliver us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all evils, past, present, and to come; and by the intercession of the Blessed and glorious ever Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and of the holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, and of Andrew, and of all the Saints, (He signs himself with the paten, and then kisses it.) 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.

RubricHe places the paten under the Host, uncovers the Chalice, and makes a genuflection; rising, he takes the Host and breaks It in the middle over the Chalice, saying:

Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord.

RubricHe puts the Part which is in his right hand upon the paten, and breaks a Particle from the other Part in his left hand, saying:

Who with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth God,

RubricHe places the Half which is in his left hand on the paten, and holding the Particle which he broke off in his right hand, and the Chalice in his left, he says:

P. World without end.

RubricThe priest makes the Sign of the Cross with the Particle over the Chalice, saying:

P. The peace + of the Lord be + always with + you.

RubricHe puts the Particle into the Chalice, saying:

May this mixture and consecration of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ be to us who receive it effectual unto eternal life. Amen.

RubricHe covers the Chalice, genuflects and rises; then bowing down and striking his breast thrice, he says:

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, grant us peace.

RubricIn Masses for the Dead, he says twice, instead of Miserere nobis: have mercy on us. Grant them rest. And lastly: Grant them eternal rest.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Grant them rest.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Grant them eternal rest.

RubricWith his hands joined and resting on the altar, standing inclined, he says the three following prayers:

O Lord Jesus Christ, who saidst to Thine Apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give you: 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 God, world without end. Amen.

RubricIn Solemn Masses the kiss of peace is now given; the Celebrant kisses the altar, then saluting the deacon, says:

P. Peace be with thee.

RubricIn Masses of the Dead, the kiss of peace is not given.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who, according to the will of Thy Father, with the cooperation 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; and make me always cleave to Thy commandments, and suffer me never to be separated from Thee, Who livest and reignest, with the same God the Father and the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

Let not the partaking 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 for soul and body; Who with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.

RubricThe priest genuflects, rises and says:

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

RubricSlightly inclining, he takes both halves of the Host between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, and the paten between the same forefinger and the middle one; then striking his breast with his right hand, and raising his voice a little, he says three times devoutly and humbly:

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

RubricThen with his right hand, making the Sign of the Cross with the Host over the paten, he says:

The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen.

RubricHe then reverently receives both halves of the Host, joins his hands, and meditates a short time.

RubricThen he uncovers the Chalice, genuflects, collects whatever fragments may remain on the corporal, and purifies the paten over the Chalice, saying:

What return shall I make to the Lord for all He has given to 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.

RubricThe priest takes the Chalice and making the Sign of the Cross with it, says:

The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen.

RubricThen he receives all the Precious Blood, together with the Particle.

Rubric: The priest says silently:

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

RubricThen he holds out the Chalice to the server—in Solemn Masses to the deacon—who pours wine into it for the first ablution, then the priest proceeds:

May 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, who have been fed with this pure and holy Sacrament; Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.

RubricThe priest then washes his fingers and receives the second ablution. Then he covers the chalice and folding the corporal, places it on the chalice, as at the beginning of Mass, and goes to the right side of the altar to say the prayers from the Missal.

Communion

Post Communion

RubricThe priest kisses the altar. Then he turns to the people, and says or sings:

Conclusion

RubricHe turns to the people and says:

May the performance of my homage be pleasing to Thee, O holy Trinity: and grant that the Sacrifice which I, though unworthy, have offered up in the sight of Thy Majesty, may be acceptable to Thee, and through Thy mercy, be a propitiation for me, and for all those for whom I have offered it. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

RubricHe kisses the altar, and raising his eyes, extending, raising and joining his hands, he bows down his head and says:

P. May almighty God the Father, Son, + and Holy Ghost, bless you.

RubricIn Masses for the Dead, the Blessing is omitted.

RubricThen turning to the Gospel side of the altar, the priest says:

RubricHe then traces the Sign of the Cross, first upon the altar, and then upon his forehead, lips, and breast, and says:

And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

P. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

O. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

P. Let us pray. O God, our refuge and our strength, look down in mercy on Thy people who cry to Thee; and by the intercession of the glorious and Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of St. Joseph her Spouse, of Thy blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the Saints, in mercy and goodness hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners, and for the liberty and exaltation of our holy Mother the Church. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

A. Holy Michael Archangel, defend us in the day of battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.—May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God thrust down to hell Satan and all wicked spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

P. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,

A. Have mercy upon us.
