Then the Priest with his hands joined, says:
P. Misereatur nostri omnipotens Deus, et dimissis peccatis vestris, perducat vos ad tam æternam. |
P. May Almighty God be merciful unto you, and forgive you your sins, and bring you to life everlasting. |
R. Amen. |
R. Amen. |
Signing himself with the sign of the cross, he says:
P. ✠ Indulgentiam, absolutionem, et remissionem peccatorum nostrorum, tribuat nobis omnipotens et misericors Dominus. |
P. May the Almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon, absolution, and remission of our sins. |
R. Amen. |
R. Amen. |
Then, bowing down, he proceeds:
P. Deus tu conversus vivificabis nos. |
P. Thou, O God, being turned, will enliven us. |
R. Et plebs tua lætabitur in te. |
R. And thy people will rejoice In thee. |
P. Ostende nobis, Domine, misericordiam tuam. |
P. Show us, O Lord, thy mercy. |
R. Et salutare tuum da nobis. |
R. And grant us thy salvation. |
P. Domine, exaudi orationem meam. |
P. O Lord, hear my prayer. |
R. Et clamor meus ad te veniat. |
R. And let my cry come unto thee. |
P. Dominus vobiscum. |
P. The Lord be with you. |
R. Et cum spiritu tuo. |
R. And with thy spirit. |
Ascending to the altar, he says secretly:
AUFER a nobis, quaesumus, Domine, iniquitates nostras; ut ad Sancta sanctorum puris mereamur mentibus introire. Per Christum, Dominum nostrum. Amen. |
TAKE away from us our iniquities, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that we may be worthy to enter with pure minds into the Holy of Holies. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. |
