At incensing the Bread and Wine, he says,

Incensum istud a te benedictum, ascendat ad te Domine, et descendat super nos misericordia

tua.

May this Incense which thou hast blest, O Lord ascend to thee, and may thy mercy de scend upon us.

At incensing the Altar, he says, Ps. cxl. Dirigatur Domine Let my prayer O oratio mea, sicut incen- Lord, be directed as insum, in conspectu tuo: cense in thy sight: the elevatio manuum mea- lifting up of my hands, rum sacrificium vesper- as evening sacrifice.

On giving the Censer to the Deacon, he says, May the Lord enkindle within us the fire of his love, and the flame of everlasting charity.

Bowing before the middle of the Altar, he says,

Suscipe sancta Trinitas hanc oblationem, quam tibi offerimus ob memoriam Passionis, Resurrectionis, et Ascensionis Jesu Christi Domini nostri: et in honorem beatæ Mariæ semper Virginis, et beati Joannis Baptiste, et sanctorum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli, et istorum, et omnium Sanctorum: ut illis proficiat ad honorem, nobis autem ad salutem: et illi pro nobis intercedere dignentur in cælis, quorum memoriam agi mus in terris. Per eumdem, &c. Amen.

Receive O holy Trinity, this oblation which

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then turning himself towards the People, he

After reading the SECRET, which may be seen in its proper place, the second Secret from Candlemasday till Passion-Sunday and from the III. Sunday after Pentecost until Advent, (except on Doubles and within Octaves) is the following.

II. SECRET.-Graciously hear us, O God our Saviour; that by virtue of this sacrament, thou mayest defend us from all enemies, of both soul and body: grant us grace in this life, and glory in the next. From Low-Sunday, exclusively, till the Ascension, instead of the foregoing is said the SECRET, * May, O Lord, &c. as in the Votive Mass, SALVE, of the B. V. M. p. 508.
