Amen.
Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known,
and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our
hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy spirit, that we may perfectly
love thee and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
In the strength of the Lord do I repel all evil from this his holy altar
and sanctuary, and from this house, wherein we worship him; and I
pray to our heavenly Father that he will send his holy angels to build
for us a spiritual temple through which his strength and blessing
may be poured forth upon his people; through Christ our Lord

Admonition
Offertory
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
Blessed be God the Father, and the only begotten Son of God, as like-
wise the Holy Ghost; for He has shown mercy to us.
Accept, O holy Father Almighty and Eternal God, this unspotted
Host, which I, Thy unworthy servant, offer unto The my living and
true God, for my innumerable sins, offenses, and negligence, and for
all here present: as also for all faithful Christians, both living and
dead; that it may avail both me and them unto life everlasting. Amen.
O God + Who, in creating human nature, hast wonderfully dignified
it, and still more wonderfully reformed it, grant that, by the Mystery
of this water and wine, we may be made partakers of His divine
nature, Who vouchsafe to become partaker of our human nature,
namely, Jesus Christ our Lord, Thy Son, Who is with Thee, in the
unity of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
May this incense which Thou hast blessed, O Lord, ascend to Thee,
and may Thy mercy descend upon us.
Let my prayer, O Lord, be directed as incense in Thy sight: the lifting
up of my hands as an evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O Lord, before
my mouth, and a door round about my lips. May my heart not
incline to evil words, to make excuses in sins.
Maythe Lord enkindle within us the fire of His love, andthe flames of
everlasting charity. Amen.
Lavabo
I will wash my hands among the innocent: and will compass Thy
altar O Lord. That I may hear the voice of Thy praise: and tell of all
Thy wondrous works. I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of Thy house
and the place of Thy glory. Take not away my soul, O God, with the
wicked: nor my life with Bloody men. In whose hands are iniquities:
their right hand is filled with gifts.
But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on
me. My foot hath stood in the direct way. in the churches I will bless
Thee, O Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen.
The Canon
Lift up your hearts!
Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the Flesh of Thy dear Son
Jesus + Christ, and to drink his Blood, that our sinful bodies may be
made clean by His Body, and our souls washedthrough His most pre-
cious Blood, and that we may evermore dwell in Him, and He in us.
Amen.
The Consecration
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, which of Thytender mercy didst
give Thine only Son Jesus + Christ, to suffer death upon the Cross for
our redemption; who made there, by His one oblation of Himself,
once offered, a full, perfect, and sufficient Sacrifice, Oblation, and
Satisfaction for the sins of the world:
Almighty and Everliving God, we most heartily thank Thee, for that
Thou dost vouchsafe to feed us, which have duly received these Holy
Mysteries, with the Spiritual Food of the most precious Body and
Blood of Thy Son, our Savior, Jesus + Christ, and dost assure us
thereby of Thy Favor and Goodness toward us, and that we may be
very members incorporate in Thy mystical Body, which is the blessed
company of all People, and be also heirs, through hope, of Thy ever-
lasting Kingdom, by the merits of the most precious Death and Pas-
sion of Thy dear Son.
We now most humbly beseech Thee, O Heavenly Father, so to assist
us with Thy Grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship,
and do all such good works as Thou hast prepared for us to walk in:
through Jesus + Christ our Lord, to whom, with Thee and the Holy
Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.
Amen!
