New... Saint Joseph "Continuous" Sunday Missal and Hymnal
Therefore, most gracious Father, we humbly beg of You and entreat You through Jesus Christ Your Son,
our Lord, (he kisses the altar) to deem acceptable and bless these + gifts, these + offerings, these + holy and unspotted oblations which,
in the first place, we offer You for Your Holy Catholic Church, that You would deign to give her peace and protection, to unite and
guard her throughout the world, together with Your servant N., our Pope, and N., our Bishop;; and all true believers who cherish the
Catholic and Apostolic Faith.
Remember, O Lord, Your servants and handmaids, N. and N., (name them) and all here present, whose faith and devotion are known
to You, on whose behalf we offer to You, or who themselves offer to You, this sacrifice of praise for themselves, families, and friends,
for the good of their souls, for their hope of salvation and deliverance from all harm, and who offer their homage to You, eternal,
living and true God.
In the unity of holy fellowship we observe the memory, first of all, of the glorious and ever Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord and God
Jesus Christ;; next, that of Blessed Joseph, Spouse of the same Virgin, and of Your Blessed Apostles and Martyrs, Peter and Paul,
Andrew, James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon and Thaddeus;; of Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus,
Cornelius, Cyprian, Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian, and of all Your Saints, by whose merits and
prayers grant that we may be always fortified by the help of Your protection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
(Spreading his hands over the oblation, he says:)
Graciously accept, then, we beseech You, O Lord, this service of our worship and that of all Your household. Provide that our days
be spent in Your peace, save us from everlasting damnation, and cause us to be numbered in the flock You have chosen. Through
Christ our Lord. Amen.
O God, deign to + bless what we offer, and make it approved, + effective, + right, and wholly pleasing in every way, that it may
become for our good, the Body + and Blood + of Your dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Who, the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and having raised His eyes to heaven, to You, O
God, His almighty Father, giving thanks to You, He blessed it, + broke it, and gave it to His disciples, saying:
All of you take and eat of this.
