For every one that asketh, receiveth and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

All things whatsoever you would that men should do unto you, do ye also to them. For this is the Law and the Prophets.

(At the end of the Gospel, the assistants answer.) R. Praise be to thee, oh Christ.

Then they say with the Priest, in a low voice. May our sins be blotted out by the words of the Gospel.

THE NICENE CREED.

REDO in unum

CDeum, Patrem om

nipotentem, factorem cœli et terræ, visibilium omnium et invisibilium.

Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum, et ex Patre natum ante omnia sæcula. Deum de Deo; Lumen de Lumine; Deum verum de Deo vero; genitum non factum; consubstantialem Patri, per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem descendit de cœlis. Et in

I

BELIEVE in one

God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and born of the Father before all ages. God of God; Light of Light; true God of true God; begotten not made; consubstantial to the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and became incarnate by the

Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary: AND WAS MADE MAN.* He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of the Father, and he is to come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, of

carnatus est de spiritu
Sancto, ex Maria Vir-
gine: ET HOMO
FACTUS EST.* Cru-
cifixus etiam pro nobis
sub Pontio Pilato, pas-
sus et sepultus est. Et
resurrexit tertia die se-
cundum Scripturas. Et
ascendit in cœlum, se-

et iterum venturus est
cum gloria judicare vi-
vos et mortuos: cujus
regni non erit finis.
whose kingdom there shall be no end.
Et in Spiritum Sanc-
tum, Dominum et vivi-
ficantem, qui ex Patre
Filioque procedit: qui
cum Patre et Filio si-
mul adoratur, et con-
glorificatur; qui locu-
tus est per prophetas.
Et unam sanctam Ca-
tholicam et Apostolicam
Ecclesiam. Confiteor
unum Baptisma in re-
missionem peccatorum.
Et expecto resurrec-
tionem mortuorum, et
vitam venturi sæculi.
Amen.

And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son: who, together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified: who spoke by the prophets. And one holy Catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And I expect the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

* At these words the assistants kneel down to adore God for the ineffable mystery of the Incarnation.

OFFERTORY.-Ps. ix. Let all who know thy name, oh Lord, hope in thee; for thou forsakest not those who seek thee. Sing to the Lord who dwelleth in Sion, for he will not forget the prayer of the poor.

Dan. iii. As in holocausts of rams and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat sheep, so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee, oh Lord.

Ps. xvi. Perfect thou my goings in thy paths, that my foot steps be not moved: Incline thy ear unto me and hear my words: Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee, oh Lord.

OBLATION of the HOST.

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 fide

Accept, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this unspotted Host, which I thy unworthy servant offer unto thee, my living and true God, for my innumerable sins, offences, and negligences, and for all here present; as also for all faithful Christians, both living

libus Christianis, vivis atque defunctis; ut mihi et illis proficiat ad salutem in vitam æternam. Amen.

When the Priest puts the Wine and Water into the Chalice, he says,

Deus, qui humanæ

O God, who, in creat

Amen.

OBLATION of the CHALICE.

Offerimus tibi, Domine, Calicem salutaris, tuam deprecantes clementiam, ut in conspectu divinæ Majestatis tuæ, pro nostra et totius

We offer unto thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, beseeching thy clemency, that it may ascend before thy divine Majesty, as a

When the Priest bows before the Altar, he says,

When he blesses the Bread and Wine, he says,

Here, in solemn Masses, he blesses the Incense,

saying,
