Preserve Our Souls to Eternal Life. Amen

Wherefore, O Lord, we thy servants, as also thy holy people, calling to mind the blessed passion of the same Christ, thy Son, our Lora, his resurrection from the dead, and admirable ascension into heaven, offer unto thy most excellent Majesty, of thy gifts be- stowed upon us, a pure Host, a holy Host, an unspotted Host, the holy bread of eternal life, and chalice of everlasting salvation. Upon which vouchsafe to look with a propitious and serene countenance, and to accept them, as thou wast graciously pleased to accept the gifts of thy just servant, Abel, and the sacrifice of our patriarch, Abraham, and that which thy high priest, Melchisedech, offered to thee ; a holy sacrifice and unspotted victim.

We most humbly beseech thee, almighty God, command these things to be carried by the hands of thy holy angels to thy altar on high, in the sight of thy Divine Majesty ; that as many as shall partake of the most sacred body and blood of thy Son at this altar, may be filled with every heavenly grace and blessing : through the same Christ our Lord. Amen
