ORDINARY OF THE MASS

WE most humbly beseech Thee, almighty God,
command these things to be carried up by the hands of Thy holy angel to Thine altar on
high, in
the sight of Thy divine majesty, that as many of us as, by participation at this altar, shall
receive the most
sacred Body + and Blood + of Thy Son, may be
filled with every heavenly blessing and grace. Through
the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Remembrance of the Faithful Departed.

Let us now pray for the Church suffering, i. e. for the souls in Purgatory.
BE mindful also, O Lord, of Thy servants and hand­ maids N... and N ..., who are gone before us with
the sign of faith, and sleep in the sleep of peace.
Here remembrance is made of the departed, for whom priest
and faithful desire more especially to pray.

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

The priest and the faithful also pray for themselves.

AND to us, sinners, Thy servants, hoping 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 with all Thy saints, into
whose company, we beseech Thee, admit us, not considering our merit, but of Thine own free pardon.
Through Christ, our Lord.

THROUGH Whom, O Lord, Thou dost always create, sanctify, quicken, bless, and give
us all these good things.
