For each heedless wanderer. Hail Mary, hail Mary, Hail Mary, hail Mary, hail Mary, full of grace. hail Mary, full of grace.

5. Praise, O Mary, praise the Father, Praise thy Savior and thy Son, Praise the everlasting Spirit, Who hath made thee ark and throne; OÊer all creatures high exalted, Lowly praise the Three in One. Hail Mary, hail Mary, hail Mary, full of grace.

¶ Please stand.

5 The Nicene I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, (please bow or kneel) and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; (please stand) and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father, and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. V. Lift up your hearts. R. We lift them up unto the Lord. V. Let us give thanks unto the Lord our God. R. It is meet and right so to do.

7 Preface of the Blessed Virgin Mary It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto thee, O Lord, holy Father, almighty, everlasting God; that in the commemoration of the ever-Blessed Virgin Mary, we should praise thee, bless thee, and extol thee; for by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, she conceived thine Only-begotten; and in the abiding glory of her virginity, shed forth upon this world the everlasting Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying,

Sanctus and Benedictus Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts: Heaven and earth are full of thy Glory. Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. ¶ Please kneel as you are able, or remain standing.

The Canon of the Mass ¶ At the elevation of the Host and Chalice, you are invited to make the and say silently, „My Lord and my God,‰ in adoration of our LordÊs Eucharistic presence.

All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, for that thou didst create heaven and earth, and didst make us in thine own image; and, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He made there a full and perfect sacrifice for the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming again. For in the night in which he was betrayed, he took bread; and when he had given thanks to thee, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat: This is my Body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

8 Likewise, after supper he took the cup; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink ye all of this: For this is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins. Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy people do celebrate and make, with these thy holy gifts which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; and looking for his coming again with power and great glory. And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us, and, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, to bless and sanctify these gifts of bread and wine, that they may be unto us the Body and Blood of thy dearly-beloved Son Jesus Christ. And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, whereby we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who partake of this Holy Communion may worthily receive the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, and be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction; and also that we and all thy whole Church may be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord; By whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory be unto thee, O Father almighty, world without end. AMEN.

The LordÊs Prayer And now, as our Savior Christ hath taught us, we are bold to say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Fraction Anthem V. Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; R. Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.

9 V. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, R. Have mercy upon us. V. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, R. Have mercy upon us. V. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, R. Grant us thy peace.

The Prayer of Humble Access We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

Ecce Agnus Dei & Non sum dignus V. Behold the Lamb of God; behold him who taketh away the sins of the world. Happy are we who are called to his supper. R. Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but, speak the word only, and my soul shall be healed.

¶ Since you cannot receive the Blessed Sacrament physically, you are invited to receive Jesus spiritually by making an Act of . Please pray the following prayer:

An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love thee above all things, and I desire thee in my soul. Since I cannot now receive thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace thee, as though thou wert already there, and unite myself wholly to thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from thee. Amen.

10 Post-Communion Prayer Almighty and ever living God, we most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost feed us in these holy mysteries with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

Postcommunion Collect We beseech thee, O Lord, that we who have been partakers of thy heavenly banquet in honor of the Blessed Mother of God, may, by her intercession, be delivered from the evils which beset us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
