He then makes the sign of the cross on himself with the sacred Host, holding it in his right hand over
THE Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen.
He then reverently takes both parts of the Host, joins his hands, and remains a short time in meditation on the Most Holy Sacrament. Then he uncovers the chalice, makes a genuflection, collects whatever fragments may remain, and wipes the paten over the chalice, saying, meanwhile:
WHAT shall I render unto the Lord for all the things that He hath rendered unto me? I will take the chalice of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will call upon the Lord and give praise: and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
He takes the chalice in his right hand, and making the sign of the cross with it on himself, he says:
THE blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen.
