out of nothing to Thy image and likeness. Thou hast redeemed from eternal death those who have fallen into sin. Thou hast adopted us as sons, and sanctified us by Thy Holy Spirit. Thou hast called us to the heirship of heaven, and directed us thither by Thy fatherly care.
O Father, Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier of us all Thy children, Giver of all good gifts, may we do Thy most holy will in all things.
AT THE AGNUS DEI.
Jesus, spotless Lamb of God, true Victim, sacrificed for my sins and the sins of the whole world; Jesus, now upon the Altar, and at the right hand of the Father in heaven, have mercy on us, and give us Thy holy peace.
AT THE COMMUNION OF THE PRIEST.
Renew and purify my heart, dear Jesus, that according to Thy word it may become a dwelling-place fitted for Thee.
