CANON MISSÆ

Finita præfatione, sacerdos extendens, elevans aliquantulum et iungens manus, elevansque ad cælum oculos, et statim demittens, profunde inclinatus ante altare, manibus super eo positis, dicit:

E ÍGITUR, clementíssime Pater, per Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum, Dóminum nostrum, súpplices rogámus ac pétimus osculatur altare et, iunctis manibus ante pectus, dicit: uti accépta hábeas, et benedícas signat ter super hostiam et calicem simul, dicens: hæc dona, hæc múnera, hæc sancta sacrifícia illibáta; extensis manibus prosequitur: in primis quæ tibi offérimus pro Ecclésia tua sancta cathólica; quam pacificáre, custodíre, adunáre, et régere dignéris toto orbe terrárum: una cum fámulo tuo Papa nostro N., et Antístite nostro N., et ómnibus orthodóxis, atque cathólicæ et apostólicæ fídei cultóribus.				ost merciful Father, we humbly pray and beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ Thy Son, Our Lord, to accept and to bless these gifts, these presents, these holy unspotted Sacrifices, which we offer up to Thee, in the first place, for Thy Holy Catholic Church, that it may please Thee to grant her peace, to preserve, unite, and govern her throughout the world; as also for Thy servant N. . . . our Pope, and N. . . . our Bishop, and for all orthodox believers and all who profess the Catholic and Apostolic faith.

Commemoratio pro vivis

Meménto, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuarum N. et N. iungit manus, orat aliquantulum pro quibus orare intendit: deinde manibus extensis prosequitur: et ómnium circumstántium, quorum tibi fides cógnita est et nota devótio, pro quibus tibi offérimus: vel qui tibi ófferunt hoc sacrifícium laudis, pro se suísque ómnibus: pro redemptióne animárum suárum, pro spe salútis et incolumitátis suæ: tibíque reddunt vota sua ætérno Deo, vivo et vero.				Be mindful, O Lord, of Thy servants and handmaids N. . . . and N. . . . and of all here present, whose faith and devotion are known to Thee, for whom we offer, or who offer up to Thee this Sacrifice of praise for themselves and all those dear to them, for the redemption of their souls and the hope of their safety and salvation: who now pay their vows to Thee, the everlasting, living and true God.

Tenens manus expansas super oblata, dicit:

ANC ígitur oblatiónem servitútis nostræ, sed et cunctæ famíliæ tuæ, quǽsumus, Dómine, ut placátus accípias: diésque nostros in tua pace dispónas, atque ab ætérna damnatióne nos éripi, et in electórum tuórum iúbeas grege numerári. Iungit manus. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.

A Missa Vigiliæ paschalis usque ad sabbatum in albis et a Vigilia Pentecostes usque ad sequens Sabbatum

Hanc ígitur oblatiónem servitutis nostræ, sed et cunctæ famíliæ tuæ, quam tibi offerimus pro his quoque, quos regeneráre dignátus es ex aqua et Spíritu Sancto, tríbuens eis remissiónem ómnium peccatórum: quǽsumus, Dómine, ut placátus accípias: diésque nostros in tua pace dispónas, atque ab ætérna damnatióne nos éripi, et in electórum tuórum iúbeas grege numerári. Iungit manus. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.

LORD, we beseech Thee, graciously to accept this oblation of our service and that of Thy whole household. Order our days in Thy peace, and command that we be rescued from eternal damnation and numbered in the flock of Thine elect. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Quam oblatiónem tu, Deus, in ómnibus, quǽsumus, signat ter super oblata, bene

díctam, adscrí

ptam, ra

tam, rationábilem, acceptabilémque fácere dignéris: ut nobis signat semel super hostiam, Cor

pus, et et semel super calicem, Sán

guis fiat dilectíssimi Fílii tui, iungit manus, Dómini nostri Iesu Christi.

Humbly we pray Thee, O God, be pleased to make this same offering wholly blessed

, to consecrate

it and approve

it, making it reasonable and acceptable, so that it may become for us the Body

and Blood

of Thy dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Qui prídie quam paterétur, accipit hostiam, accépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, elevat oculos ad cælum, et elevátis óculis in cælum ad te Deum Patrem suum omnipoténtem, caput inclinat, tibi grátias agens, signat super hostiam, bene díxit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et manducáte ex hoc omnes.

Tenens ambabus manibus hostiam inter indices et pollices, profert verba consecrationis secrete, distincte, et attente super hostiam, et simul super omnes, si plures sint consecrandæ.

HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.

Who, the day before He suffered, took bread into His Holy and venerable hands, and having lifted up His eyes to heaven, to Thee, God, His Almighty Father, giving thanks to Thee, blessed it +, broke it, and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take and eat ye all of this:

FOR THIS IS MY BODY.

Quibus verbis prolatis, statim hostiam consecratam genuflexus adorat: surgit, ostendit populo,
reponit super corporale, et genuflexus iterum adorat: nec amplius pollices et indices disiungit, nisi quando hostia tractanda est, usque ad ablutionem digitorum. Tunc, detecto calice, dicit:

Símili modo póstquam cenátum est, ambabus manibus accipit calicem, accípiens et hunc præclárum cálicem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas: item caput inclinat, tibi grátias agens, sinistra tenens calicem, dextera signat super eum, bene díxit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et bíbite ex eo omnes.				In like manner, after He had supped, taking also into His holy and venerable hands this goodly chalice, again giving thanks to Thee, He blessed it , and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take and drink ye all of this:

Profert verba consecrationis super calicem, attente et continuate, tenens illum parum elevatum.

HIC EST ENIM CALIX SÁNGUINIS MEI,
NOVI ET ÆTÉRNI TESTAMÉNTI: MYSTÉRIUM FIDEI:
QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDÉTUR
IN REMISSIÓNEM PECCATÓRUM.

Quibus verbis prolatis, deponit calicem super corporale, et dicens secrete:

Hæc quotiescúmque fecéritis, in mei memóriam faciétis.

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT: THE MYSTERY OF FAITH: WHICH WILL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.

As often as ye shall do these things, ye shall do them in remembrance of me.

Genuflexus adorat: surgit, ostendit populo, deponit, cooperit, et genuflexus iterum adorat. Deinde desiunctis manibus dicit:

Unde et mémores, Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, eiúsdem Christi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri, tam beátæ passiónis, nec non et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in cælos gloriósæ ascensiónis: offérimus præcláræ maiestáti tuæ de tuis donis ac datis iungit manus, et signat ter super Hostiam, et Calicem simul, dicens: hóstiam puram, hóstiam sanctam, hóstiam immaculátam, signat semel super Hostiam, dicens: Panem sanctum vitæ ætérnæ, et semel super Calicem, dicens: et Cálicem salútis perpétuæ.				And now, O Lord, we, Thy servants, and with us all Thy holy people, calling to mind the blessed Passion of this same Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, likewise His Resurrection from the grave, and also His glorious Ascension into heaven, do offer unto Thy most sovereign Majesty out of the gifts Thou hast bestowed upon us, a Victim which is pure, a Victim which is holy, a Victim which is spotless, the holy Bread of life eternal, and the Chalice of everlasting Salvation.

Extensis manibus prosequitur:

Supra quæ propítio ac seréno vultu respícere dignéris: et accépta habére, sícuti accépta habére dignátus es múnera púeri tui iusti Abel, et sacrifícium Patriárchæ nostri Abrahæ: et quod tibi óbtulit summus sacérdos tuus Melchísedech, sanctum sacrifícium, immaculátam hóstiam.				Deign to look upon them with a favorable and gracious countenance, and to accept them as Thou didst accept the offerings of Thy just servant Abel, and the sacrifice of our Patriarch Abraham, and that which Thy high priest Melchisedech offered up to Thee, a holy Sacrifice, an immaculate Victim.

Profunde inclinatus, iunctis manibus et super altare positis, dicit:

Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus, iube hæc perférri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublíme altáre tuum, in conspéctu divínæ maiestátis tuæ: ut quotquot osculatur Altare, ex hac altáris participatióne sacrosánctum Fílii tui iungit manus, et signat semel super hostiam, et semel super calicem, Cor pus et Sán guinem sumpsérimus, seipsum signat, dicens: omni benedictióne cælésti et grátia repleámur. Iungit manus. Per eúndem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.				Humbly we beseech Thee, almighty God, to command that these our offerings be carried by the hands of Thy holy Angel to Thine Altar on high, in the sight of Thy divine Majesty, so that those of us who shall receive the most sacred Body and Blood of Thy Son by partaking thereof from this Altar may be filled with every grace and heavenly blessing: Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Commemoratio pro defunctis

Meménto étiam, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuárum N. et N. qui nos præcessérunt cum signo fídei, et dórmiunt in somno pacis.

Be mindful, also, O Lord, of Thy servants and handmaids N. . . . and N. . . . who are gone before us with the sign of faith and who sleep the sleep of peace.

Iungit manus, orat aliquantulum pro iis
defunctis, pro quibus orare intendit, deinde extensis manibus prosequitur:

Ipsis, Dómine, et ómnibus in Christo quiescéntibus, locum refrigérii, lucis et pacis, ut indúlgeas, deprecámur. Iungit manus, et caput inclinat, dicens: Per eúndem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.

To these, O Lord, and to all who rest in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light and peace. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Manu dextera percutit sibi pectus, elata aliquantulum voce dicens:

Nobis quoque peccatóribus extensis manibus ut prius, secrete prosequitur: fámulis tuis, de multitúdine miseratiónum tuárum sperántibus, partem áliquam et societátem donáre dignéris, cum tuis sanctis Apóstolis et Martýribus: cum Ioánne, Stéphano, Matthía, Bárnaba, Ignátio, Alexándro, Marcellíno, Petro, Felicitáte, Perpétua, Agatha, Lúcia, Agnéte, Cæcília, Anastásia, et ómnibus Sanctis tuis: intra quorum nos consórtium, non æstimátor mériti, sed véniæ, quǽsumus, largítor admítte. Iungit manus. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum.

To us also Thy sinful servants, who put our trust in the multitude of Thy mercies, vouchsafe to grant some part and fellowship with Thy holy Apostles and Martyrs: with John, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia, and all Thy Saints. Into their company we beseech Thee admit us, not considering our merits, but freely pardoning our offenses. Through Christ our Lord.

Per quem hæc ómnia, Dómine, semper bona creas, signat ter super Hostiam, et Calicem simul dicens: sanctí

ficas, viví

ficas, bene

dícis, et prǽstas nobis.

By whom, O Lord, Thou dost always create, sanctify

, quicken

, bless

, and bestow upon us all these good things.

Discooperit Calicem, genuflectit, accipit Hostiam inter pollicem et indicem manus dexteræ: et tenens sinistra Calicem, cum Hostia signat ter a labio ad labium Calicis, dicens:

Per ip sum, et cum ip so, et in ip so, cum ipsa hostia signat bis inter se et Calicem, dicens: est tibi Deo Patri omnipoténti, in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, elevans parum Calicem cum Hostia, dicit: omnis honor et glória.				Through Him , and with Him , and in Him , is unto Thee, God the Father Almighty, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory.
