While the Priest offers the Host:
ACCEPT, O holy Father, almighty, eternal God, this immaculate 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 and dead, that it may be profitable for my own and for their salvation unto life eternal. Amen.
The Priest puts wine and water into the chalice:
O God, Who in creating human nature didst wonderfully dignify it, and hast still more wonderfully renewed it; grant that, by the mystery of this water and wine, we may be made partakers of His divinity Who vouchsafed to become partaker of our humanity, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord; Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of, etc.
Whilst the Priest offers the chalice:
WE offer unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, beseeching Thy clemency, that, in the sight of Thy divine Majesty, it may ascend with the odor of sweetness, for our salvation, and for that of the whole world. Amen.
In the spirit of humility, and with a contrite heart, let us be received by Thee, O Lord; and grant that the sacrifice we offer in Thy sight this day may be pleasing to Thee, O Lord God.
The Priest washes his fingers:
I will wash my hands amongst the innocent; and will compass Thy altar, O Lord. That I may hear the voice of Thy praise; and tell all Thy wondrous works.
