Elect : Through Christ Our Lord. Amen

Which oblation, do thou, O God, vouch- safe, in all respects, to bless, approve, ratify, and accept ; that it may be made for us the Goo< THE MASS. 15 body and blood of thy most beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Who, the day before he suffered, took bread into his holy and venerable hands, and with his eyes lifted up towards heaven, giving thanks to thee, God, his almighty Father, he blessed it, brake it, and gave it to his disci- ples, saying : Take, and eat ye all of this, for this is my Body. Here, with the Priest, adore the sacred Host, and say. Most adorable body, I adore thee with all the powers of my soul. 0 Lord, who hast given thyself entire to us, grant we may be- come entirely thine. I believe : O Lord, help my unbelief. Most merciful Saviour, be thou my pro- tector ; strengthen and defend me by thy hea- venly grace, now, and especially at the hour of my death, sweet Jesus. Amen
