WE RENDER Thee thanks, O Lord our God, that Thou hast given us boldness to enter into the Holiest, through the Blood of Jesus, by the new and living Way Which Thou hast consecrated through the veil of flesh of Thy Christ; therefore, thus entering into the tabernacle of Thy glory and brought within the veil, we fall down before Thee, full of fear and dread … but Thou, O Lord, send forth Thy grace, and hallow our souls, bodies and spirits, that so with pure hearts we may in receiving forgiveness offer to Thee a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; through the Same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.140 adapted).

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, the source and perfection of all virtues: Grant that our pastor may both do what is right, and preach what is true: that both by action and teaching that Thy faithful people may receive the instruction which is of Thy grace; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.  (Oremus, 1925, p.138, adapted).

GIVE me again, Lord, the robe of immortality which I lost by the sin of the first parents, and although I am unworthy to come unto Thy holy sacrament, grant that I may attain everlasting joy; Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.131).

VISIT and cleanse our consciences, Lord, we beseech Thee: That coming, our Lord, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, may find in us a mansion prepared for Himself; through the Same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.132).

O GOD in Whose temple at Jerusalem were appointed singers and those skilled in instruments of music to set forth Thy praises: Be present, we beseech Thee, with us Thy servants, and grant that in this our service we may worship Thee in spirit and in truth, and at last be found meet to glorify Thy name in Thy temple which is on high; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.  (Oremus, 1925, p.132-133).

GLORY be to Thee, O Holy and Ever-Blessed Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

THOU art worthy to receive glory and honor and power. Blessing, honor, glory and power be unto Him That sitteth upon the Throne, and to the Lamb, for ever and ever. Amen.

(Oremus, 1925, p.136).

O GOD, Who makest the unworthy worthy, sinners righteous, impure pure: Work in me true repentance for my sins and misdeeds, for my daily and countless transgressions. Through faith in Thy Son, make me worthy to receive the sacrament of Thy Son’s Body and Blood for the cleansing of my soul and body of all shame and sin; through Him Who offered Himself to Thee, O God Father, the perfect propitiatory Sacrifice, Who is our sinless and only Mediator, through the High Priest, Jesus Christ, Thy dear Son. Amen. (adapted, Oremus, 1925, p.141).

TRUSTING only in Thy mercy, O Lord, Jesus, I draw near: sick that Thou mayest heal me, hungry that Thou mayest feed me, thirsty that Thou mayest give me drink, poor and needy that Thou mayest relieve me, desolate to my kind Comforter.

But whence is this to me that Thou shouldest come unto me and give Thyself to me? How shall I appear before Thee, how canst Thou come to me a sinner?

Thou knowest, O good Lord, that I have no good thing in me to deserve this mercy: I confess my unworthiness, I acknowledge Thy goodness, I give Thee thanks for Thy mercy, I praise Thee for Thine exceeding love.

Since, therefore, it is Thy will, since Thou hast said, “Come unto Me,” I come, O Lord; let not my sins move Thee to reject me; be it unto me according to Thy Word; for there is none other Name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, but Thine, O most blessed Lord and Saviour.

And whatsoever is wanting unto me, do Thou, O most merciful Jesus, vouchsafe to supply out of the riches of Thy merits, Thy pains and labors, Thy bitter death, whereby Thou hast redeemed me, Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.143).

O LORD JESUS, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter my sinful heart, but Thou knowest my great poverty and need. I long for Thy presence with all my heart, therefore, feed, comfort, strengthen my poor soul; Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.147).

O GOD the HOLY GHOST, have mercy upon me, be gracious unto me, and grant that I receive this holy sacrament worthily, that through it my weak faith may be strengthened, my cold heart kindled with love, my troubled conscience comforted, my hope freshened, my sinful life bettered, and finally be saved. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.147).
