Meam in Vitam Aeternam

May the body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul to life everlasting. A- men. He then receives both halves of the Host , joins his hands , and remains a short time in meditation on the most holy Sacra- ment. Then he uncovers the chalice , gathers upon the paten the smallest atoms of the Host which may remain on the corporal , puts them into the chalice , saying : Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quae retribuit mihi ? Calicem salutaris accipiam, et nomen Domini invocabo. Laudans invoca- bo Dominum, et ab inimicis meis salvus ero. What shall I render to the Lord for all he hath render- ed unto me? I will take the chalice of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. Praising I will call upon the Lord, and I shall be saved from my enemies. A Prayer when the Priest receives .

O sacred banquet, in which Christ is received, the memory of his passion is renewed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.

Grant, O Lord Jesus, that we may so reverence the sacred mysteries of thy Body and Blood, that we may ever find in ourselves the fruits of thy redemption. Amen
