Tuam in Vitam Aeternam, Soul to Life Everlasting. a

Grant, Lord, that what we have taken with our mouth, we may receive with a pure mind ; and of a temporal gift may it become to us an eternal remedy. Prayer during the ablution.

Grant us, O Lord, a part in the fruits of thy death and passion, the sacred memory of which we have commemorated in this our sacrifice and communion. I adore thy goodness, O gracious Lord, for thy inestimable favour in admitting me to be present this day at that holy sacrifice where thou art both Priest and Victim. Oh, make me always sensible of so great a blessing, and let not my unworthiness put a bar to thy mercy and goodness. y 2 Digitized by CjrOOQlC 246 CANON OF THE MASS. Here the Acolyth pours wine and water over his fingers ; and he takes the second ablution . Corpus tuum, Domine, May thy body, O Lord, quod sumpsi, et sanguis which I have received, and quem potavi, adhaereat vis- thy blood which I have ceribus meis : et praesta, drunk, cleave to my bowels ; ut in me non remaneat and grant that no stain of scelerum macula, quern sin may remain in me, who pura et sancta refecerunt have been refreshed with sacramenta. Qui vivis et pure and holy sacraments, regnas in saecula saeculo- Who livest, &c. Amen, rum. Amen
