INTRODUCTION TO THE ORDER OF
MASS IN THE EXTRAORDINARY FORM.
Many of those who attend Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite for the first time will be perplexed
by the great number of different chants, prayers and ceremonies that happen with hardly any break, some even at
the same time.
This complexity has historical reasons – in contrast to the modern liturgy (Ordinary Form) the Extraordinary
Form grew over several centuries. Some of its prayers are already quoted by the early Church Fathers, and the core
structure of the Mass was fully developed by the time of Pope St Gregory the Great (590-604). Since he sent the
first missionaries to the Anglo-Saxons, the Roman liturgy was quickly introduced into England. The Mass in
St Gregory's time consisted primarily of short, normally sung, prayers and readings alternating with elaborate
chants (probably more elaborate than the early medieval plainchant used today). Throughout the Middle Ages
numerous prayers were added to the Mass, especially at the beginning, the Offertory and before and after
Communion. Many of them were, unlike the older texts, personal prayers of the Celebrant. For this reason, and in
order not to overgrow the original structure of the Mass, most of them are said with low voice whilst the Schola is
singing. These prayers often emphasize the nature of the Eucharistic sacrifice and man’s need for redemption.
Whereas Mass in the Ordinary Form was conceived as a very simple parish week-day Mass with possible
additions for greater solemnity, every Mass in the Extraordinary Form is a more or less simplified version of the
solemn papal Mass as celebrated in the early Middle Ages, and many of its ceremonies can only be explained by
looking back at the early history of the Church.
The most solemn form of Mass that will be celebrated from time to time in most parishes is the so-called High
Mass. Here the Celebrant is supported by a Deacon (who sings the GOSPEL and assists at the Offertory), a
Subdeacon (who sings the EPISTLE) and several servers. As in the time of Gregory the Great, most of the ancient
core texts of the Mass are sung by the clergy, he Schola and the congregation. Only the Canon, the central part of
the Mass, is today said in a low voice out of respect for its sacred nature. Since all less elaborate forms of Mass are
derivatives of the High Mass, this form is here described as the default option.
Because most parishes do not have enough clergy for regular celebrations of a High Mass, on most Sundays there
will be Sung Mass. It is essentially a High Mass without Deacon and Subdeacon. Some of their tasks will be
taken over by the Celebrant, some by servers, and others are omitted.
In the early Middle Ages it became common that priest-monks not only attended the Conventual (High) Mass but
also celebrated Mass privately beforehand. Later, the form of Mass they developed (Low Mass) became the
standard for Masses without music. The ceremonial for these Masses is much simplified: since there is no choir the
celebrant reads all the texts of the chants, and since there is not necessarily a congregation all responses are given by
the server. (Later, this form in turn had some influence on the High and Sung Mass, so that today the Celebrant
reads everything sung by Schola).
Like Mass in the Ordinary Form, also Mass in the Extraordinary Form consists of elements that are always or
nearly always the same (the ORDINARY), and elements that change every day (the PROPERS). This booklet only
contains the ORDINARY, a selection of PROPERS is available as separate sheets on
www.musicasacra.com/sjfm.

How should the faithful participate in Masses in the Extraordinary Form? As in all forms of liturgy the most
important aspect of the true participation (‘actuosa participatio’) called for by the Second Vatican Council is to
prayerfully enter into the great mysteries of the liturgy through which God reveals Himself to His faithful. This
participation culminates in the reception of Our Lord in Holy Communion.
In High Mass and Sung Mass, the congregation gives the responses to the prayers sung by the Celebrant and may
sing the chants of the Ordinary, like the KYRIE and GLORIA, which are printed in bold in this booklet. The
chants of the Proper, such as the INTROIT, are usually sung by the schola; and are intended to support prayer and
meditation upon the special themes of each liturgical celebration. The numerous prayers said in low voice by the
celebrant are also printed in this booklet – many of them are very beautiful and helpful texts, but no-one should
feel obliged to follow all of them. At these Masses the congregation normally kneel, stand and sit together with the
servers.
Low Mass can be more confusing since it hardly differentiates between the ancient core prayers of the Mass, the
chants and the prayers said in a low voice by the Celebrant. Here too it may be best to begin by following the
sections printed in bold in this booklet. Since Low Mass is essentially a Mass without congregation, the servers give
all the responses. The faithful are invited to participate in the way that is most profitable to them, which can range
from following the texts in a Missal to saying their own prayers. They may join in with the servers’ answers in a
low voice but should be careful not to disturb others who wish to pray in silence. There are no rules for posture, but
it is appropriate to stand for the GOSPEL and to kneel for the CONSECRATION.
In the description of the Order of Mass, the following signs are used:
Bold print denotes passages that are sung or said aloud, thus most of the central parts of Mass.
= denotes a text that is sung or said (in most cases by the Celebrant) and awaits a response from the congregation.
+ marks then the response, normally sung or said by all.
S. [for Sacerdos] denotes, on the other hand, a text said by the Celebrant in low voice to the servers, and
M. [for Minister] the reply given by the server.
ü denotes a sign of cross.
° denotes a bow of the head.

Normally, members of the congregation only make these gestures if they occur in texts sung or said aloud

A short overview of the Structure of Mass in the

Extraordinary Form.
On Sundays, the SPRINKLING OF HOLY WATER takes place before the principal Mass. The Celebrant goes
round the church, sprinkling holy water, and then sings a prayer imploring God’s protection for all those present.
This is not a part of Mass, and so the Celebrant is wearing different vestments.
After the Asperges (or otherwise at the beginning of Mass) the choir sings the INTROIT followed immediately by
the KYRIE. The clergy go towards the altar but stop at the step, in order to say the preparatory prayers, the
PRAYER AT THE FOOT OF THE ALTAR, in low voice. Afterwards the Celebrant goes up, kisses and – if
incense is used – incenses the altar. Then he goes to the Missal at the right-hand side to say Introit and Kyrie with
the servers.
On Sundays (but not during Advent and between Septuagesima and Palm Sunday) and Feasts the Celebrant
intones the GLORIA, which is continued by choir and congregation. Then he kisses the altar, greets the faithful
with Dominus vobiscum and sings the COLLECT(S) from the Missal.
The Epistle is then sung (in High Mass by the Subdeacon, otherwise by a server of the Celebrant himself). It is
followed by the GRADUAL – a piece of chant answering to it – and by the solemn praises of the ALLELUIA.
Between Septuagesima and Maundy Thursday the ALLELUIA is replaced by the TRACT, a series of Psalm verses,
and between Easter and Pentecost the GRADUAL is replaced by a second ALLELUIA. A further chant, the
SEQUENCE is added on some occasions. In the meantime, clergy and servers prepare for the solemn proclamation
of the Gospel.
The GOSPEL is sung by the Deacon (or by the Celebrant, if there is no Deacon), facing North, the direction of
darkness (in practice, at the left-hand side of the altar, which is always deemed to face East). A SERMON may
follow here.
On Sundays and some Feasts the CREED follows, during which in High Mass the Altar is prepared.
Then the Celebrant once again greets the faithful and asks for their prayer. The choir sings the OFFERTORY
whilst the Celebrant prepares (with the help of Deacon and Subdeacon, if they are present) the offerings. This is
accompanied by many silent prayers. If incense is used, the altar, clergy and congregation are then incensed.
The Celebrant then begins the PREFACE, with the congregation responding. Afterwards the SANCTUS is sung.
The CANON of the Mass, during which the Consecration of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ
takes place, is said by the Celebrant with low voice.
The Celebrant then sings the PATER NOSTER, the congregation joining in for the last words. He then breaks the
Host and drops one particle into the Chalice. Whilst the choir sings the AGNUS DEI he says with low voice his
prayers before receiving Communion.
The Celebrant then invites the faithful to receive Holy Communion. Meanwhile, the COMMUNION is sung.
Having purified the sacred vessels, the Celebrant greets the congregation once again and sings the POST-
COMMUNION prayer.
Afterwards, the Celebrant returns to the centre of the altar, greets the congregation again and sings or says the
DISMISSAL, and, after a silent prayer, the BLESSING. Then he goes to the left (North) side and says the LAST
GOSPEL, normally the prologue of St John’s Gospel. Then he and the servers leave.
SPRINKLING OF HOLY WATER
This Rite takes places in a church once every Sunday (even if a Feast is celebrated). It originated as a procession during which
all the buildings of a monastery were blessed. This is still reflected in the prayers, as well as in the vestments – the Celebrant is
not yet vested for Mass, but wears Alb and Stole (and a Cope, if available).
The Celebrant kneels down and sprinkles the Altar, intoning the following Antiphon, then he stands up, sprinkling the
servers and the congregation.

ORDINARY OF THE MASS
Mass of the Catechumens

INTROIT and PRAYER AT THE FOOT OF THE ALTAR
When the clergy enters (or after the Asperges), the INTROIT (text in the Proper of Seasons or the Proper of Saints) is sung.
It consists of an Antiphon, a verse (normally the first) of a Psalm and the Doxology °Gloria Patri. While it is sung, the
clergy stop at the altar-steps, to say there with low voice their Preparatory Prayers, the PRAYER AT THE FOOT OF THE
ALTAR. If there is no music, it is said aloud, alternating between the Celebrant and the servers. It begins with Psalm 42,
describing the longing of the faithful for the House of God.
S. ü In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. S. ü In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.
M. Amen. M. Amen.
S. Introibo ad altare Dei. S. I will go in to the altar of God.

M. Ad Deum qui lætificat juventutem meam. M. To God who giveth joy to my youth.
The following Psalm is omitted between Passion Sunday
and Maundy Thursday.
Ps. 42
S. Judica me, Deus et discerne causam meam S. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from

S. Confitebor tibi in cithara, Deus, Deus S. I will praise thee on the harp, O God, my God :

M. Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor M. Hope in God, for I will still give praise to Him :

S. °Gloria Patri, et Filio : et Spiritui Sancto. S. °Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and to the

S. Introibo ad altare Dei. S. I will go in to the altar of God.

M. Ad Deum qui lætificat juventutem meam. M. To God, who giveth joy to my youth.
Afterwards, the CONFITEOR is said, first by the Celebrant, then by the servers, each bowing deeply and striking his breast
at mea culpa.

S. ü Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini. S. ü Our help is in the name of the Lord.

Then, Celebrant and the servers say the following versicles, bowing slightly, and at the prayer Aufer the Celebrant ascends to
the altar.
S. Deus, tu conversus vivificabis nos. S. Thou wilt turn again, O God, and quicken us.
M. Et plebs tua lætabitur in te. M. And thy people shall rejoice in thee.
S. Ostende nobis, Domine, misericordiam S. Show us, O Lord, thy mercy.

M. Et salutare tuum da nobis. M. And grant us thy salvation.

bus introire. Per Christum Dominum Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
nostrum. Amen.
The Celebrant kisses the altar and implores the intercession of the saints whose relics are buried in it.
Oramus te, Domine, per merita Sanctorum We beseech thee, O Lord, by the merits of thy saints,
tuorum (kissing the altar), quorum reliquiæ hic whose relics are here, and of all the saints, that thou
sunt, et omnium Sanctorum : ut indulgere wouldst vouchsafe to forgive me all my sins. Amen.
digneris omnia peccata mea. Amen.
If incense is used, the Celebrant (assisted by the Deacon or the servers) puts three spoonfuls of incense into the thurible, saying:
Ab illo benedicaris, in cujus honore cremaberis. Be blessed by Him, in whose honour thou art burnt.
Amen. Amen.
Then he makes the sign of the cross over the incense, takes the thurible and incenses first the cross and then the altar, saying
nothing. In High Mass, Deacon and Subdeacon go with him, supporting his arms – an habit going back to the very ample and
heavy vestments used in the early Middle Ages. At the end, the Celebrant goes to the right side of the altar (Epistle side), where
he is incensed.
The Celebrant stays at this side of the altar for many of the following prayers – a bishop would say them on his throne, but as
a sign of humility a normal priest has no dominating chair, so he remains at the altar.
The Celebrant then says then the Introit (aloud, if it has not already been sung), making the sign of the cross at the beginning
and bowing at the Gloria Patri.
KYRIE
Afterwards, the Celebrant and the servers say the KYRIE. which the Schola has already begun immediately after completing
the Introit. Unless it is sung in polyphony, Schola and Congregation are alternating – but the conclusion of the ninth Kyrie is
sung by all (for the music cf. pp. 28-40).
= Kýrie eléison = Lord, have mercy
+ Kýrie eléison + Lord, have mercy
+ Chríste eléison + Christ, have mercy
= Chríste eléison = Christ, have mercy
+ Chríste eléison + Christ, have mercy
+ Kýrie eléison + Lord, have mercy
=/+ Kýrie eléison =/+ Lord, have mercy
GLORIA
On Sundays (but not during Advent and from Septuagesima to Palm Sunday) and Feasts, the Celebrant now intones the
GLORIA, which is continued by the Schola and the congregation (for the music cf. pp. 28-40). The Celebrant says it in low voice,
or aloud, if there is no choir. If there is a long polyphonic setting, the congregation can sit down when the Celebrant is seated.
Mass of the Catechumens 11
Glória in excélsis °Deo. Glory be to °God on high.

Et in terra pax homínibus bonæ voluntátis. And on earth peace to men of good will. We praise

mus, °Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spíritu, ü the glory of God the Father. Amen.
in glória Dei Patris. Amen.
COLLECT
As several times during Mass, the Celebrant kisses the altar, which represents Christ, before turning to the congregation, thus
making the meaning of his greeting ‘The Lord be with you’ more evident. Then he turns back and bows to the cross for
Oremus, indicating the direction of the Church’s prayer, through Christ to the Father.
= °Oremus. = °Let us pray.
Then, he sings or says the COLLECT, which is found in the Propers. It ends as follows (or with a slight variation, depending
on the last words of the COLLECT.).
= Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Chris- = Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who
tum, filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the
regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti. Per Holy Ghost. World without end.
omnia sæcula sæculorum.
+ Amen. + Amen.
On some occasions, e.g. when there are two Feasts of saints on the same day or when an event like the Anniversary of the
Pope’s election has to be commemorated, there is more than one COLLECT. In this case, the conclusion and the Amen only
appear after the first and the last.
EPISTLE
The EPISTLE or LESSON is taken from the Propers.
It is sung by the Subdeacon or a server standing at the right-hand side, facing the altar (thus indicating that the words of the
prophets are focussed on Christ). In a Low Mass, it is read by the Celebrant. Only then the server answers with Deo Gratias
– Thanks be to God. If the reader is a Subdeacon, he goes afterwards up to the altar to receive the Celebrant’s blessing.
Chants between the Readings: GRADUAL, ALLELUIA, TRACT and SEQUENCE

After the Epistle, the GRADUAL is sung. It is usually a meditation on a Psalm, consisting of a Responsory followed by a
verse, the Responsory may be repeated afterwards. When it is finished, the Cantors immediately begins the ALLELUIA. This
Hebrew sentence (meaning ‘Praise God!’) is sung to an elaborate tune, followed by a verse, and then repeated.During Lent and at
some other pentitential occasions, the ALLELUIA is replaced by the TRACT, a longer selection of a Psam sung by soloists.To
mark its joyful character, during Eastertide the GRADUAL is replaced by a second ALLELUIA. On some occasions the
SEQUENCE, a medieval hymn, may follow. If there is no choir, the Celebrant reads these texts aloud.
12 Mass of the Catechumens
In High Mass incense is put in and blessed as at the beginning, then the Deacon brings the Gospel Book to the altar and
kneels down to say the prayer Munda cor meum. If there is no Deacon, the Celebrant says it bowing profoundly in the
centre of the altar.
Munda cor meum, ac labia mea, omnipotens D. (or S.) Cleanse my heart and my lips, O almighty
Deus, qui labia Isaiæ Prophetæ calculo mundas- God, who didst cleanse the lips of the prophet Isaias
ti ignito : ita me tua grata miseratione dignare with a burning coal : and vouchsafe, through thy
mundare, ut sanctum Evangelium tuum digne gracious mercy, so to purify me that I may worthily
valeam nuntiare. Per Christum Dominum proclaim thy holy Gospel. Through Christ our Lord.
nostrum. Amen. Amen.
In High Mass, the Deacon then takes the book, and asks for the Celebrant’s blessing.
D Jube, domne, benedicere. D. Pray, Sir, a blessing.
S. Dominus sit in corde tuo et in labiis tuis, ut S. The Lord be in thy heart and on thy lips, that
digne et competenter annunties Evangelium thou mayest worthily, and in a becoming manner,
suum. In nomine ü Patris et Filii et Spiritus announce his holy Gospel. In the name of the ü
Sancti. Amen. Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
If there is no Deacon, the Celebrant instead says, still bowed in front of the altar.
Jube, Domine, benedicere. Pray, Lord, a blessing.
Dominus sit in corde meo et in labiis meis, ut The Lord be in my heart and on my lips, that I may
digne et competenter annuntiem Evangelium worthily, and in a becoming manner, announce his
suum. Amen. holy Gospel. Amen.
GOSPEL
The GOSPEL (text in the Propers) is always read towards the North side, the region of darkness that needs enlightenment
from God’s word. In High Mass, there is a procession towards the North side of the sanctuary, otherwise, the book is brought
over to the left side of the altar, and the Celebrant turns slightly to the North. All stand at the beginning of the GOSPEL.
= Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum = The continuation from the holy Gospel according
N. to N.
+ Glória tibi, Dómine. + Glory be to thee, O Lord.
The word Sequentia (continuation) goes back to the time when the entire Gospels were read in order of the text during the
year. Should the beginning of one of the Gospels occur, it is announced as Initium – Beginning instead.
In Low Mass only, the server answers Laus tibi Christe – Glory to thee, O Christ, after the reading.
Then, the Celebrant kisses the beginning of the Gospel text (in High Mass, the book is brought up to the altar by the
Subdeacon), saying with low voice.
Per evangelica dicta deleantur nostra delicta. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted
out.
SERMON
A sermon may now follow. As it is, strictly speaking, not part of the Mass, the Celebrant takes off the maniple (and also the
chasuble, if he desires to do so) and covers his head.
13
Mass of the Faithful

CREED
On Sundays and some Feasts, the CREED follows. It is intoned by the Celebrant (who continues saying it in low voice) and
sung by the Schola and the congregation (for the music cf. pp. 40-44). At the sentence Et incarnatus est … factus est.
all kneel, to commemorate how God humbled Himself to become incarnate in our human flesh. At High Mass, the Deacon now
prepares the altar for the Offertory by spreading the uppermost altar-cloth, the Corporal.
Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotén- I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of

OFFERTORY
The Celebrant now kisses the altar, greets the congregation as before the COLLECTS, and asks them to pray.
The Schola then sings the OFFERTORY, which the Celebrant recites silently. It is today only an antiphon, but the Cantors
may add its ancient verses.
In High Mass, the Subdeacon now goes to the credence table, covers his hands with the humeral veil and so brings the chalice
and paten to the right-hand side of the altar. He and the Deacon uncover it and hand the paten to the Celebrant (In Low or
Sung Mass the chalice is already at the altar; the Celebrant uncovers it, puts it to the right-hand side, and takes the paten from
there). The Celebrant then offers the host, saying the following prayer with low voice:
14 Offertory
Suscipe, sancte Pater, omnipotens æterne Deus, Accept, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
hanc immaculatam hostiam, quam ego indignus this immaculate victim, which I, thy unworthy ser-

Christianis vivis atque defunctis : ut mihi, et illis salvation both to me and to them unto life eternal.
proficiat ad salutem in vitam æternam. Amen. Amen.
Then he makes the sign of the cross with the paten and puts the host alone on the Corporal, an habit going back to the time
when there was only one large bread consecrated. The paten is put aside, in High Mass, the paten is later given to the Subdeacon.
Then the Deacon pours wine into the chalice, the water is blessed by the Celebrant and poured in by the Subdeacon (in Low
or Sung Mass, the Celebrant leaves the centre of the altar, takes the place of the Deacon at the right-hand corner, and pours in
the wine and water himself).
Deus, ü qui humanæ substantiæ dignitatem O God ü, who, in creating human nature, didst
mirabiliter condidisti, et mirabilius reformasti : wonderfully dignify it, and hast still more wonderfully
da nobis per hujus aquæ et vini mysterium, ejus restored it, grant that, by the Mystery of this water

Filius tuus Dominus noster : Qui tecum vivit et even Jesus Christ our Lord, thy Son, who with thee
regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus : per om- liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost,
nia sæcula sæculorum. Amen. God : world without end. Amen.
In the centre of the altar the Celebrant (supported by the Deacon) offers the wine, making the sign of the cross with the chalice
at the end. Afterwards, the Subdeacon (if present) receives the paten, covers it with the humeral veil, and goes down to the lowest
altar-step where he will remain for most time until the Pater noster.
Offerimus tibi, Domine, calicem salutaris, tuam We offer unto thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation,
deprecantes clementiam : ut in conspectu divi- beseeching thy clemency, that in the sight of thy divine
næ majestatis tuæ, pro nostra et totius mundi majesty it may ascend with the odour of sweetness for
salute cum odore suavitatis ascendat. Amen. our salvation, and for that of the whole world.
Amen.
Bowing down the Celebrant then says:
In spiritu humilitatis, et in animo contrito In the spirit of humility and with a contrite heart, let
suscipiamur a te, Domine : et sic fiat sacrifi- us be received by thee, O Lord; and grant that the
cium nostrum in conspectu tuo hodie, ut sacrifice we offer in thy sight this day may be pleasing

He blesses host and chalice, saying:
Veni Sanctificator omnipotens, æterne Deus : Come, O sanctifier, almighty, eternal God, and
et beneüdic hoc sacrificium tuo sancto nomini blessü this sacrifice prepared to thy holy name.
præparatum.
If incense is used, it is blessed now, with the following prayer:
Per intercessionem beati Michaelis Archangeli, May the Lord, by the intercession of blessed Michael
stantis a dextris altaris incensi, et omnium elec- the Archangel, standing at the right hand of the

Dominus beneüdicere, et in odorem suavitatis bless this incense, and receive it as an odour of
accipere. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. sweetness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Amen.
Offertory 15
The Celebrant takes the thurible and incenses the offerings, tracing thrice a cross and thrice a circle, and saying:
Incensum istud : a te benedictum : ascendat ad May this incense, which thou hast blessed, O Lord,
te, Domine. ascend to thee.
Et descendat : super nos : misericordia tua. And may thy mercy descend on us.
Then he incenses the cross, saying nothing, and the altar, reciting parts of Ps. 140:
Dirigatur, domine, oratio mea sicut incensum Let my prayer, O Lord, ascend like incense in thy
in conspectu tuo : elevatio manuum mearum sight : and the lifting up of my hands be as an
sacrificium vespertinum. evening sacrifice.
Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo : et ostium Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth : and a door
circumstantiæ labiis meis. round about my lips,
Ut non declinet cor meum in verbo malitiæ : ad That my heart may not incline to evil words : to
excusandas excusationes in peccatis. make excuses to sin.
When returning the censer to the Deacon, he says:
Accendat in nobis Dominus ignem sui amoris, May the Lord enkindle in us the fire of his love, and
et flammam æternæ caritatis. Amen. the flame of everlasting charity. Amen.
Afterwards the Celebrant, the clergy, the servers and the congregation are incensed.
The Celebrant washes his hands at the right-hand side of the altar, whilst reciting verses of Ps. 25:
Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas : et I will wash my hands among the innocent : and will
circumdabo altare tuum, Domine. encompass thy altar, O Lord.
Ut audiam vocem laudis : et enarrem universa That I may hear the voice of praise, and tell of all thy
mirabilia tua. marvellous works.
Domine, dilexi decorem domus tuæ : et locum I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house : and
habitationis gloriæ tuæ. the place where thy glory dwelleth.
Ne perdas cum impiis, Deus, animam meam : Take not away my souls, O God, with the wicked :
et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam. nor my life with bloody men.
In quorum manibus iniquitates sunt : dextera In whose hands are iniquities : their right hand is

Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum : As for me, I have walked in my innocence : redeem
redime me, et miserere mei. me, and have mercy upon me.
Pes meus stetit in directo : in ecclesiis My foot hath stood in the right path : in the churches
benedicam te, Domine. I will bless thee, O Lord.
The following conclusion is omitted between Passion
Sunday and Maundy Thursday.
°Gloria Patri, et Filio : et Spiritui sancto. °Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the
Holy Ghost.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc et semper : et in As it was in the beginning, is now : and ever shall
sæcula sæculorum. Amen. be, world without end. Amen.
Then he returns to the centre of the altar and, bowing, says:
Suscipe sancta Trinitas, hanc oblationem, quam Receive, O holy Trinity, this oblation which we make

He kisses the altar and says in a low voice to the clergy and servers (the first two words are said slightly louder):
Orate fratres, ut meum ac vestrum sacrificium Pray, brethren, that my Sacrifice and yours may be
acceptabile fiat apud Deum Patrem omni- acceptable to God the Father almighty.

The Deacon or the servers reply in low voice:
Suscipiat Dominus sacrificium de manibus tuis, May the Lord receive the Sacrifice from thy hands, to

quoque nostram, totiusque Ecclesiæ suæ to that of all his holy Church.
sanctæ.
The Celebrant says with low voice Amen and then recites, also silently, the SECRET from the Propers. If there are several
COLLECTS (cf. p. 11), there are also several SECRETS.
PREFACE
The Celebrant concludes the last SECRET singing or speaking aloud, and immediately begins the Preface:

SANCTUS
After the Preface, the Schola sings the SANCTUS, which is also recited in low voice by the Celebrant (or aloud, if there is no
choir). For the melodies, cf. pp. 28-40. At its first words, the bell is rung thrice.
°Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus °Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Sabaoth. Heaven and
Sabaoth. Pleni sunt cæli et terra gloria tua. earth are full of thy glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna in excelsis.
If there is a long polyphonic SANCTUS, its second half, the BENEDICTUS, is sung after the Elevation.
ü Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. ü Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in excelsis. Hosanna in the highest.
CANON
The Canon is the most ancient part of the Mass. It was not written as an unity but consists of several distinct short prayers
grouped around the Consecration. As a sign of respect for the sacred text, it is all said in low voice. It is very rich in gestures;
virtually every time the offerings are mentioned, the Celebrant makes the sign of the cross over them.
The Celebrant says the first words of this prayer bowing low in the centre of the altar.
Te, igitur, clementissime Pater, per Jesum We therefore, humbly pray and beseech thee, most
Christum, Filium tuum, Dominum nostrum, merciful Father through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our
supplices rogamus ac petimus (The Celebrant kisses Lord, that thou wouldst vouchsafe to accept and bless
the altar), uti accepta habeas et benedicas hæc ü these ü gifts, these ü presents, these ü holy unspot-

On some high Feasts the introduction to the following
prayer is changed, as indicated in the Propers.

Here the bell is rung again, the Celebrant stretches out his hands over the offerings.
Hanc igitur oblationem servitutis nostræ, sed We therefore, beseech thee, O Lord, to be appeased

Canon 19
Having pronounced the words of Institution bowing deeply over the altar, the Celebrant genuflects and adores the Body of
Christ. Rising, he elevates the Sacred Host for the veneration of the faithful. The Deacon or a server is holding his chasuble,
again a relic from the time when vestments were very heavy. Afterwards, the Celebrant lays the Host on the Corporal and
genuflects again. The bell is rung thrice. From now on until the Purification, the Celebrant uses his thumbs and index fingers
only to touch the Sacred Host, otherwise they are held together, lest a Particle sticking to the fingertips may fall to the ground. He
continues with the Consecration of the wine.
Simili modo, postquam cœnatum est, In like manner, after he had supped, taking also
accipiens (he takes the chalice) et hunc præclarum this excellent chalice into his holy and venerable

Genuflecting during the last sentence, the Celebrant elevates the Chalice and genuflects again. As before, the bell is rung thrice.

those departed, for whom he was asked for pray)

(The Celebrant says the first words a bit louder, and strikes
his breast.) Nobis quoque peccatoribus famulis And to us sinners, thy servants, hoping in the mul-

præstas nobis. things.
During the next prayer, the Celebrant traces three crosses with the Sacred Host above the Chalice, then two between the
Chalice and himself. At the last words, he briefly elevates Chalice and Host.
Per ipüsum, et cum ipüso, et in ipüso, est tibi Through himü, and with himü, and in himü, is to
Deo Patri ü omnipotenti, in unitate ü Spiritus thee, God the Father ü almighty, in the unity of the
Sancti, omnis honor et gloria Holy ü Ghost, all honour and glory.
The last words of the Canon are then sung or said aloud.
= Per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. = World without end.
+ Amen. + Amen.
PATER NOSTER
Then the Celebrant sings the Our Father, the congregation joins in for its last section.
= °Oremus. Præceptis salutaribus moniti, = °Let us pray. Instructed by thy saving precepts,
et divina institutione formati, audemus and following thy divine institution, we presume

The following prayer is said again in low voice. During it the Celebrant takes the paten (in High Mass brought by the Sub-
deacon), and places the Sacred Host on it for a short moment. Whilst saying the concluding formula, he takes It up again, and
breaks It into three parts. Once again, the conclusion is sung or said aloud.
Amen. Libera nos, quæsumus Domine, ab Amen. Deliver us, we beseech thee, O Lord, from all

+ Amen. + Amen.
(He makes three crosses with the smallest Particle of the
Host over the Chalice.).
= Pax ü Domini sit ü semper vobisücum. = May the peace ü of the Lord be ü always with
ü you.
(The Celebrant puts the Particle into the Chalice, saying
with low voice:.)
Hæc commixtio et consecratio Corporis et May this mixture and consecration of the Body and
Sanguinis Domini nostri Jesu Christi, fiat Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ be to us that receive it
accipientibus nobis in vitam æternam. Amen. effectual to eternal life. Amen.
AGNUS DEI and COMMUNION OF THE CELEBRANT
Here the Schola intones the AGNUS DEI (For the music cf. pp. 28-40). All strike their breasts at the Miserere and the
Dona. The Celebrant says this prayer with low voice, unless there is no choir.
= Agnus Dei = Lamb of God
+ Qui tollis peccáta mundi, miserére + Who takest away the sins of the world, have
nobis. mercy on us.
22 Communion

+ Qui tollis peccáta mundi, miserére + Who takest away the sins of the world, have
nobis. mercy on us.
+ Qui tollis peccáta mundi, dona nobis + Who takest away the sins of the world, grant us
pacem. peace.
With low voice, the Celebrant continues the last section of this chant with a prayer for peace
Domine Jesu Christe, qui dixisti Apostolis tuis : O Lord Jesus Christ, who saidst to thy Apostles:
Pacem relinquo vobis, pacem meam do vobis : Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you;
ne respicias peccata mea, sed fidem Ecclesiæ look not upon my sins but the Faith of thy Church;
tuæ : eamque secundum voluntatem tuam paci- and vouchsafe to it that peace and unity which is
ficare et coadunare digneris : Qui vivis et reg- agreeable to thy will : who livest and reignest, God,
nas Deus per omnia sæcula sæculorum. Amen. world without end. Amen.
In High Mass, the Celebrant kisses the altar and then gives the Pax to the Deacon, who passes it on to clergy and servers.
This signifies that peace is not the fruit of our merits but comes from Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, present in the Mass.
Meanwhile, the Celebrant bows and says the prayers for his preparation for Communion.
Domine Jesu Christe, Fili Dei vivi, qui ex Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who,
voluntate Patris, cooperante Spiritu Sancto, per according to the will of the Father through the co-

sæculorum. Amen.
(Genuflecting) Panem cælestem accipiam et nomen I will take the bread of heaven, and call upon the
Domini. invocabo. name of the Lord.
The Celebrant now takes the Sacred Host, and, striking his breast, he says the following prayer three times in a low voice (the
first words slightly louder), a bell is rung thrice.
Domine, non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under
meum : sed tantum dic verbo, et sanabitur my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be
anima mea. healed.
He then blesses himself with the Sacred Host and receives It.
Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul
animam meam in vitam æternam. Amen. unto life everlasting. Amen.
Then he removes all Particles that may remain on the paten or the Corporal into the Chalice, blesses himself with it and
receives the Precious Blood.
Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quæ What shall I render to the Lord for all he hath
retribuit mihi? Calicem salutaris accipiam, et rendered unto me? I will take the Chalice of salva-

Sanguis Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul
animam meam in vitam æternam. Amen. unto life everlasting. Amen.
COMMUNION OF THE FAITHFUL
In the meantime the servers may say the CONFITEOR aloud; in this case the Celebrant turns half towards them (in order not
to turn his back to the Blessed Sacrament) and replies, as at the beginning of Mass.
M. Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, beatæ Mariæ M. I confess to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever
Petro et Paulo, omnibus Sanctis, et tibi Peter and Paul, to all the Saints, and to thee,
Pater : quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, father, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought,

M. Amen. M. Amen.
S. Indulgentiam, ü absolutionem, et remissio- S. May the almighty and merciful Lord grant ye
nem peccatorum vestrorum tribuat vobis pardon, ü absolution, and remission of your sins.
omnipotens et misericors Dominus.
M. Amen. M. Amen.
Then the Celebrant takes the Ciborium, showing one Host to the faithful, and says:
Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccata Behold, the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh
mundi. away the sins of the world.
Those who wish to receive Communion say now together with the Celebrant three times:
Dómine, non sum dignus ut intres sub Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under
tectum meum : sed tantum dic verbo, et my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be
sanábitur ánima mea. healed.
Customarily, Communion is given on the tongue. The Communicant should come forward and kneel down at the step (if
physically able). The Celebrant will bless him or her with an Host, saying the words written beneath. The Communicant should
stick out the tongue and give no response.
Corpus ü Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat The Body ü of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve thy
animam tuam in vitam æternam. Amen. soul unto life everlasting. Amen.
Towards the end of the distribution of Holy Communion, the Schola sing the COMMUNION (from the Propers), an
Antiphon, often taken from the words of Christ. Following ancient practice, verses from the Psalms may be added.
When all have received Holy Communion, the Celebrant returns to the altar to take the Ablution (unconsecrated wine,
formerly given to all communicants) and to purify the sacred vessels and his fingers. Meanwhile, he says the following prayers with
low voice.
24 Communion
Quod ore sumpsimus, Domine, pura mente Grant, Lord, that what we have taken with our
capiamus : et de munere temporali fiat nobis mouth we may receive with a pure mind; and of a
remedium sempiternum. temporal gift may it become to us an eternal remedy.
Corpus tuum, Domine, quod sumpsi, et San- May thy Body, O Lord, which I have received, and
guis, quem potavi, adhæreat visceribus meis : et thy Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my bowels;
præsta; ut in me non remaneat scelerum macu- and grant that no stain of sin may remain in me,
la, quem pura et sancta refecerunt sacramenta : who have been refreshed with pure and holy sacra-
Qui vivis et regnas in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. ments, Who livest and reignest world without end.
Amen.
POST-COMMUNION and PRAYER OVER THE PEOPLE
Having purified and covered the chalice, the Celebrant returns to the right side of the altar, to read the COMMUNION
(aloud, if it has not been sung already). Then he greets the faithful as before the COLLECTS before praying the POST-
COMMUNION prayer (from the Propers – there are several, if there have been several COLLECTS). On weekdays in Lent,
another prayer, the PRAYER OVER THE PEOPLE, follows, at its beginning the Celebrant invites the faithful to bow their heads
before God.

+ Amen. + Amen.
DISMISSAL and BLESSING

Immediately afterwards, the Celebrant turns to greet the faithful again, and then the Deacon (or the Celebrant himself) sings
the Dismissal; its wording changes according to the day. Between Holy Saturday and Low Sunday, two alleluias are added to
the Ite and the Deo Gratias.
= Ite, missa est or Benedicamus Domino. = Go, the Mass is ended or Let us bless the Lord.
+ Deo grátias. + Thanks be to God.
The Celebrant turns back to the altar and, bowing, prays that his ministering was pleasing to God, and then he says aloud
the Blessing, turning to the faithful.
Placeat tibi, sancta Trinitas, obsequium servitu- May the performance of my homage be pleasing to
tis meæ : et præsta : ut sacrificium, quod oculis thee, O Holy Trinity; and grant that the sacrifice
tuæ majestatis indignus obtuli, tibi sit accepta- which I, though unworthy, have offered up in the
bile, mihique, et omnibus, pro quibus illud sight of thy majesty, may be acceptable to thee, and
obtuli, sit, te miserante, propitiabile. Per through thy mercy be a propitiation for me, and all
Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen. those for whom I have offered it. Through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
= Benedicat vos omnipotens Deus, Pater = May almighty God bless you, the Father, Son ü
et Filius ü et Spiritus Sanctus. and Holy Ghost.
+ Amen. + Amen.
Concluding Prayers 25
LAST GOSPEL
The Celebrant now goes to the left side of the altar, to read the LAST GOSPEL (normally the beginning of John’s Gospel).
As in the Creed, all genuflect when the Incarnation of Christ is mentioned.
= Initium sancti Evangelii secundum = The beginning of the holy Gospel according to
Joannem. St John.
+ Glória tibi, Dómine. + Glory be to thee, O Lord.
