The Ordinary of the Mass
(Continued)

INTROIT

(according to the Mass of the day; the Introit used here is that for the feast of the Most Holy Trinity)

The priest makes the Sign of the Cross at the beginning of the Introit.

+ Blessed be the Holy Trinity, and undivided unity: we will give glory to Him, because He hath shown His mercy to us. (P.T. Alleluia, alleluia.) Ps. O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is Thy name in all the earth! V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

+ Benedicta sit sancta Trinitas, atque indivisa unitas: confitebimur ei, quia fecit nobiscum misericordiam suam. (T.P. Alleluia, alleluia.) Ps. Domine Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra! Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat et principio et nunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

GLORIA

Standing at the middle of the altar, the priest extends and joins his hands, and making a slight bow says

P: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will. We praise Thee; we bless Thee; we adore Thee; we glorify Thee. We give Thee thanks for Thy great glory: O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father almighty. O Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son. O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, Thou, Who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Thou Who takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Thou Who sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For Thou alone art holy; Thou alone art the Lord; Thou alone, O Jesus Christ, together with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Turning to the people, the priest says

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

P: Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis. Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te. Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam. Domine Deus rex coelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens. Domine Fili Unigenite, Jesu Christe. Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris. Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram. Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis. Quoniam tu solus sanctus, tu solus Dominus, tu solus altissimus, Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu, in gloria Dei Patris. Amen.




P: Dominus vobiscum.
R: Et cum spiritu tuo.
