Ghost, art one God, one 
Lord, not in the singleness of 
one Person, but in the 
Trinity of one substance.  For 
that which, according to Thy 
revelation, we believe of Thy 
glory, the same we believe of 
Thy Son, the same of the Holy 
Ghost, without difference or 
distinction; so that in the 
confession of one true and 
eternal Godhead we adore 
distinctness in persons, 
oneness in essence, and 
equality in majesty:  Which 
the angels praise, and the 
archangels, the cherubim also 
and the seraphim, who cease 
not, day by day crying out 
with one voice to repeat:

[The priest genuflects,
rises and says:]

P: I will take the bread of 
heaven, and will call upon 
the name of the Lord.

[Taking the Sacred Host with
his left hand, the priest
strikes his breast three
times, saying (here the bell
is rung each of the three
times with the priest):]

P: Lord, I am not worthy 
that Thou shouldst enter under 
my roof; but only say the 
word, and my soul shall be 
healed. (three times)

[Holding the Sacred Host in
his right hand, the priest
makes the sign of the cross
with it and says:]

P: May the Body of Our Lord 
Jesus Christ keep my soul unto 
life everlasting.  Amen.

[The priest receives Holy
Communion and after a brief
meditation continues:]

P: What shall I render unto 
the Lord for all the things 
that He hath rendered unto me?  
I will take the chalice of 
salvation and will call upon 
the name of the Lord.  With 
high praises will I call upon 
the Lord, and I shall be 
saved from all mine enemies.

[The priest takes the
Chalice in his right hand and
makes the sign of the cross,
saying:]

P: May the Blood of Our Lord 
Jesus Christ keep my soul unto 
life everlasting.  Amen.

[Then, he priest faces the
people with the Ciborium and,
holding up one of the Sacred
Particles before the
communicants, he says:]

					[The Communion Antiphon

[Here Holy Communion is
administered to those of the
faithful who desire to receive
it.]

[The priest gives Holy			[The priest goes to the

[When all have received
Communion, he returns to the
altar and replaces the
Ciborium in the tabernacle.
He then receives wine in the
Chalice and says:]

P: Into a pure heart, O 		P: Lord, may I receive

[The priest goes to the
Epistle side and, while the
server pours wine and water
over his fingers, he says:]

P: May Thy Body, O Lord, 
which I have received, and 
Thy Blood which I have drunk 
cleave to mine inmost parts: 
and do Thou grant that no 
stain of sin remain in me, 
whom pure and holy mysteries 
have refreshed: Who livest and 
reignest world without end.  
Amen.

[The priest recites the Communion
verse, and then says:]

P: The Lord be with you.

R: And with thy Spirit.

kisses the altar, and turning
toward the people says:]

P: The Lord be with you.		P: The Lord be with you.

R: And with thy Spirit.			R: And also with you.

					P: May almighty God bless

P: Go, the Mass is ended.	    1.	P: Go in the peace of Christ.

				    2.	P: The Mass is ended, go
					in peace.

				    3.	P: Go in peace to love and

R: Thanks be to God.			R: Thanks be to God.

[Bowing down over the altar,
the priest says:]

P: May the lowly homage of my 
service be pleasing to Thee, 
O most holy Trinity: and do 
Thou grant that the sacrifice 
which I, all unworthy, have 
offered up in the sight of Thy 
majesty, may be acceptable to 
Thee, and, because of Thy 
loving kindness, may avail to 
atone to Thee for myself and 
for all those for whom I have 
offered it up.  Through Christ 
our Lord.  Amen.

[The priest kisses the
altar, and at the word
"Pater", turns toward the
people, blesses them,
saying:]

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

R: Amen.

THE LAST GOSPEL

[The priest now goes to the
Gospel side of the altar; he
makes the sign of the cross,
first upon the altar, and
then upon his forehead, lips,
and heart, and reads the Last
Gospel:]

P: The Lord be with you.

R: And with thy Spirit.

P: The beginning of the holy 
Gospel, according to St. John. 

R: Glory be to Thee, O Lord.

P: 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 shineth in 
darkness, and 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 which enlighteneth every 
man that cometh into this 
world.  He was in the world, 
and the world was made by Him, 
and the world knew Him not.  
He came unto His own, and His 
own received Him not.  But as 
many as received Him, to them 
He gave great power to become 
the sons of God: to them that 
believe in His name: who are 
born, not of blood, nor of 
the will of the flesh, nor of 
the will of man, but of God. 
And the Word was made flesh, 
and dwelt among us, and we 
saw His glory, the glory as 
of the only begotten of the 
Father, full of grace and truth. 

R: Thanks be to God.

PRAYERS AFTER LOW MASS

[After Low Mass, the priest
kneeling at the altar steps,
says with the people the
prayers which follow:]

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord 
is with thee.  Blessed art thou 
amongst women, and blessed is the 
fruit of thy womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, 
Mother of God, pray for us sinners, 
now, and at the hour 
of our death.  Amen. 
(three times)

Salve Regina

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, 
our life, our sweetness, and our 
hope!  To thee do we cry, poor 
Ad banished children of Eve, to thee 
do we send up our sighs, mourning 
and weeping in this valley of tears. 
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, 
thine eyes of mercy towards us, and 
after this our exile show unto us 
the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. 
O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin 
Mary.

Pray for us, O holy Mother of 
God.

That we be made worthy 
of the promises of Christ. 

P: Let us pray.  O God, our 
refuge and our strength, look 
down with favor upon Thy 
people who cry to Thee; and 
through the intercession of 
the glorious and immaculate 
Virgin Mary, Mother of God, 
of her spouse, blessed 
Joseph, of Thy holy apostles, 
Peter and Paul, and all the 
saints, mercifully and 
graciously hear the prayers 
which we pour forth to Thee 
for the conversion of sinners 
and for the liberty and 
exaltation of holy mother 
Church.  Through the same 
Christ our Lord.  Amen.
St. Michael, the archangel, 
defend us in battle.  Be our 
protection against the malice and
snares of the devil.  We humbly 
beseech God to command him.  
And do thou, O prince of the 
heavenly host, by the divine 
power thrust into hell Satan and 
the other evil spirits who roam 
through the world seeking the ruin 
of souls.  Amen.
