My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless Thee. O Lord.
Glory be to the Father, etc.
Returning, and bowing before the middle of the altar, with joined hands, he says: [1]
Receive, O Holy Trinity, this oblation, which we offer unto Thee, in memory of the passion, resurrection, and ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and in honor of blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed John the Baptist, of the holy apostles Peter and Paul, of these and of all the saints: that it may be available to their honor and our salvation: and may they vouchsafe to intercede for us in heaven, whose memory we celebrate on earth. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Then he kisses the altar, and having turned himself toward the people, extending and joining his hands, he raises his voice a little, and says:
- ↑ In Masses for the Dead, and in Passion time, the Gloria is omitted.
