Order of the Mass

The following are most of the prayers said by the congregation at Mass. Numbers 9 and 10 are additional prayers said at our church.

I Confess

I confess to almighty God
and to you my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done
and in what I have failed to do.
Through my fault,
through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore, I ask Blessed Mary ever virgin,
all the angels and saints,
and you my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Glory to God

Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you. We bless you.
We adore you. We glorify you.
We give you thanks for your great glory.
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation,
he came down from heaven,
(profound bow at the waist)
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the virgin Mary,
and became man.
(end bow)
For our sake
he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic,
and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins.
I look forward to the
resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

May the Lord

May the Lord accept this sacrifice at your hands,
for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

The Mystery of Faith

We proclaim your death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.

-OR-

When we eat this bread
and drink this cup,
we proclaim your death, O Lord,
until you come again.

-OR-

Save us, Savior of the world,
for by your Cross and Resurrection
you have set us free.

Lamb of God

Lamb of God,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God,
you take away the sins of the world,
grant us peace.

Lord, I Am Not Worthy

Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.

St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection
against the wickedness
and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him
we humbly pray.
And do thou
O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God,
cast into hell, Satan,
and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

– Pope Leo XIII , 1884

Salve Regina

Salve Regina
mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo
et spes nostra salve
Ad te clamamus
exsules filii Evae
Ad te suspiramus
gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle

Eia ergo,
advocata nostra
illos tuos misericordes oculos
ad nos converte
Et Iesum benedictum
fructum ventris tui
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende

O clemens
O pia
O dulcis
Virgo Maria
