phets and Apostles. Make me regulate my life by those sacred truths, that so I may be thy disciple not merely in name, but in truth and reality.

I am now, O divine Jesus, to hear thy own words in the Gospel; grant that I may attend with profound respect, an humble docility, and an ardent desire to perform all that thou wilt command.

At the Gospel.

MATT. V.

"JESUS seeing the multitudes, went up into a mountain; and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek; for they shall possess the land. Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice; for they shall have their fill. Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart; for they shall see God. Blessed are the peace-makers; for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that

is evil against you untruly, for my sake; be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven........You have heard that it hath been said thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies; do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you........ For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this? Be you therefore perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

At the Credo.

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, and born of the Father before all ages. God of God, light of light, true God of true God; begotten, not made; consubstantial to the Father; by whom all things were made. Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven; and became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary; AND WAS MADE MAN. He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day he arose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into

heaven, sitteth at the right hand of the Father; and is to come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead; of whose kingdom there shall be no end.

And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who, together with the Father and the Son, is equally adored and glorified; who spoke by the Prophets. And one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins; and I expect the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

At the Offertory.

ACCEPT, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this unspotted Host, which I, thy unworthy servant, offer unto thee, my living and true God, for my innumerable sins, offences, and negligences, and for all here present; as also for all faithful Christians, both living and dead, that it may avail both me and them unto life everlasting. Amen.

O Eternal Father, in union with that ineffable love wherewith my Redeemer offered himself on the cross to thy divine Majesty, I also offer myself with him, humbly beseeching thee to direct all my thoughts, words, and actions to thy honour, to my own good, and to the edification of my neighbour.

At the Lavabo.

O GOD, who art purity itself, cleanse my soul from all its iniquities and imperfections, and render me worthy to participate in the sacred banquet of the adorable body and blood of thy Son.

At the Orate Fratres.

MAY the Lord receive this sacrifice from the hands of his Priest, to the praise and glory of his name, and to our benefit and that of all his holy Church.

At the Secret.

BE appeased, O Lord, by our humble prayers, and mercifully receive these offerings of thy servants; that what each hath offered to the honour of thy name may avail to the salvation of all: through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Graciously hear us, O God our Saviour, that by virtue of this sacrament thou mayest defend us from all enemies, both of body and soul, give us grace in this life, and glory in the next.

O God, to whom alone is known the number of thine elect to be placed in eternal bliss, grant, we beseech thee, by the intercession of all thy saints, that the book of a blessed predestination may contain the names of all those for whom we have undertaken to pray, as well as those of all the faithful through Christ our Lord, &c.

At the Preface.

P. World without end. R. Amen.

P. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.

P. Lift up your hearts. R. We have lifted them up to the Lord.

P. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. R. It is meet and just.

It is truly meet and just, right and available to salvation, that we should always and in all places give thanks to thee, O holy Lord, Father Almighty, Eternal God, through Christ our Lord. By whom the angels praise thy Majesty; the dominations adore it; the powers tremble before it; the heavens, the heavenly virtues, and blessed seraphim, with common ecstasy glorify it. Together with whom, we beseech thee, that we may be admitted to join our humble voices, saying:

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Hosannah in the highest; blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosannah in the highest!

At the Canon.

O FATHER of mercies, graciously receive this most holy sacrifice, which we offer thee by the hands of thy Priest, in union with that which thy beloved Son offered thee during his whole life,
