THE INTRODUCTORY RITES
INTRODUCTION
Commentator: May the Lord give you peace!
The Sons of Charity – Philippine Branch
welcomes you to this Eucharistic Celebration
on the occasion of the Ordination
to the Order of Priests of our brothers
Reverend Richard C. Adalim, SC and
Reverend Michael Jayson S. Abao, SC.
Reverend Richard C. Adalim, SC,
was born in Bonawon, Siaton, Negros Oriental.
He is the second child among the three children
of Loreto J. Adalim and Dioscora G. Calunod.
He made his First Profession of Vows on June 3, 2016
and his Perpetual Profession of Vows on May 25, 2019.
Reverend Michael Jayson S. Abao, SC,
was born in Monkayo, Compostela Valley.
He is the son of Homer Jajalla and Aida Abao.
He made his First Profession of Vows on June 3, 2016
and his Perpetual Profession of Vows on May 25, 2019.
Together with the Sons of Charity priests and brothers,
their parents, relatives, benefactors and friends
let us pray for their perseverance and sanctification
as they start their journey of total service
to Christ and to the Church as Priests.
Let us pray that they may become good ministers
according to the heart and will of Christ.
Our Ordaining Prelate is
the Most Reverend Francisco M. De Leon, D.D.
Bishop of the Diocese of Antipolo.
Please all rise and join in singing the Entrance Hymn.
When everything is ready, the procession moves through the church to the altar in the usual way. A Deacon carries
the Book of the Gospels and is followed by the other Deacons, if present. They are followed by those to be ordained,
then the concelebrating Priests, and, finally, the Bishop and, slightly behind him, the two Deacons who assist him.
When they come to the altar they make the required reverence, and each one goes to his assigned place.

Meanwhile the Entrance Antiphon with its psalm or another suitable liturgical song is sung.

to proclaim his peace, his joy.

called to witness the Kingdom of Christ among all the nations;
called to proclaim the good news of Christ to the poor.
My spirit rejoices in God, my Savior. (Ant.)

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Jeremiah 3:15


 
I will appoint over you shepherds after my own heart,
who will shepherd you wisely and prudently (E.T. alleluia).

When he has arrived at the altar, after making a profound bow with the ministers, the Bishop venerates the altar with
a kiss and, if appropriate, incenses the cross and the altar. Then, with the ministers, he goes to the chair.
When the Entrance Chant is concluded, the Bishop and the faithful, standing, sign themselves with the Sign of the
Cross, while the Bishop, facing the people, says:
FOR THE CONFERRAL OF HOLY ORDERS

Bp. Francis: In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.
Then the Priest, extending his hands, greets the people, saying:

Bp. Francis: Peace be with you.


People: And with your spirit.
The Priest, or a Deacon or another minister, may very briefly introduce the faithful to the Mass of the day.

PENITENTIAL ACT
Then follows the Penitential Act, to which the Bishop invites the faithful, saying:

Bp. Francis: Brethren (brothers and sisters),


let us acknowledge our sins,
and so prepare ourselves to celebrate
the sacred mysteries.
A brief pause for silence follows.

The Priest, or a Deacon, or another minister, then says the following or other invocations with Kyrie, eleison (Lord,
have mercy):

KYRIE ELEISON

COLLECT
When this hymn is concluded, the Priest, with hands joined, says:

Bp. Francis: Let us pray.


And all pray in silence with the Priest for a while. Then the Bishop with hands extended, says the Collect prayer.

Lord our God, who in governing your people


make use of the ministry of Priests,
grant a persevering obedience to your will
to these Deacons of your Church,
whom you graciously choose today
for the office of the priesthood,
so that by their ministry and life
they may gain glory for you in Christ.
Who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
People: Amen.

LITURGY OF THE WORD


FIRST READING Numbers 11:11b-12, 14-17, 24-
25a
I will give them your spirit so that they may share with you
the burden of this people.
Reader: A reading from the Book of Numbers.
Moses asked the LORD:
“Why are you so displeased with me
that you burden me with all this people?
Was it I who conceived all this people?
Or was it 1 who gave them birth,
that you tell me to carry them at my bosom,
like a foster father carrying an infant,
to the land you have promised
under oath to their fathers?
I cannot carry all this people by myself,
for they are too heavy for me.
If this is the way you will deal with me,
then please do me the favor of killing me at once,
so that I need no longer face this distress.”
6 RITUAL MASS

Then the LORD said to Moses,


“Assemble for me seventy of the elders of Israel,
men you know for true elders
and authorities among the people,
and bring them to the meeting tent.
When they are in place beside you,
I will come down and speak with you there.
I will also take some of the Spirit that is on you
and will bestow it on them,
that they may share the burden of the people with you.
You will then not have to bear it by yourself.”
So Moses went out and told the people
what the LORD had said.
Gathering seventy elders of the people,
he had them stand around the tent.
The LORD then came down in the cloud
and spoke to him.
Taking some of the Spirit that was on Moses,
he bestowed it on the seventy elders,
and as the Spirit came to rest on them, they prophesied.

The Word of the Lord.


All: Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Based on Psalm


84

HOW LOVELY IS YOUR DWELLING PLACE


Arnel Aquino, SJ
Refrain: How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord, mighty God, Lord of all.
Even the lowly sparrow finds a home for her brood.
And the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young:
in your altars, my King and my God. (Ref.)
Blessed are they whose dwelling is your own, Lord of Peace.
Blest are they refreshed by springs and by rain,
when dryness daunts and scathes.
Behold my Shield, my King and my God. (Ref.)
FOR THE CONFERRAL OF HOLY ORDERS
7
I would forsake a thousand other days anywhere
if I could spend one day in your courts, belong to you alone.
My strength are you alone;
my Glory, my King, and my God. (Ref.)
Coda: How lovely your dwelling place,
O Lord, mighty God, Lord of all!

SECOND READING Romans


12:4-8
He gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
Reader: A reading from the First Letter of Saint Paul
to the Ephesians.
Brothers and sisters:
The love of Christ impels us.
once we have come to the conviction
that one died for all;
therefore, all have died.
He indeed died for all,
so that those who live
might no longer live for themselves
but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
Consequently, from now on
we regard no one according to the flesh;
even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh,
yet now we know him so no longer.
So whoever is in Christ is a new creation:
the old things have passed away;
behold, new things have come.
And all this is from God,
who has reconciled us to himself through Christ
and given us the ministry of reconciliation,
namely, God was reconciling the world
to himself in Christ,
not counting their trespasses against them
and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
So we are ambassadors for Christ,
as if God were appealing through us.
We implore you on behalf of Christ,
be reconciled to God.

Meanwhile, if incense is used, the Bishop puts some into the thurible. After this, the Deacon who is to proclaim the
Gospel, bowing profoundly before the Bishop, asks for the blessing, saying in a low voice:

Deacon: Your blessing, Father.


The Bishop says in a low voice:

Bp. Francis: May the Lord be in your heart and on your lips,
that you may proclaim the Gospel worthily and well,
in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
 and of the Holy Spirit.
The Deacon signs himself with the Sign of the Cross and replies:

Deacon: Amen.
The Deacon then proceeds to the ambo, accompanied, if appropriate, by ministers with incense and candles.

GOSPEL John 15:9-17
I shall not call you servants; you are my friends.
Deacon: The Lord be with you.
All: And with your spirit.
Deacon:  A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
All: Glory to you, Lord.
Deacon: Jesus said to his disciples:
“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments,
you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father's commandments
and remain in his love.
“I have told you this so that my joy may be in you
and your joy might be complete.
This is my commandment:
love one another as I love you.
No one has greater love than this,
to lay down one's life for one's friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
I no longer call you slaves,
because a slave does not know what his master is doing.
I have called you friends,
because I have told you everything
I have heard from my Father.
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you
and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,
so that whatever you ask the Father in my name
he may give you.
This I command you: love one another.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Commentator: Please remain standing.
All remain standing and make the sign of the cross while the Bishop gives the blessing using the Book of the Gospel

RITE OF ORDINATION
Commentator: Please be seated. The ordination rites are about to begin.
Ordination to the Presbyterate is the necessary response
of the Church to the desire of the community to be served.
Thus, the initial rite asks the community
to approve the selection of Reverend Richard C. Adalim, SC
and Reverend Michael Jayson S. Abao, SC
for the Order of Priests
which in turn will be confirmed by the ordaining bishop.
After which, the bishop will instruct us in his homily
and the candidates on the tasks
of the ministries to be undertaken as a priest.
The Ordination of Priests begins.

The Bishop, if necessary, goes to the seat prepared for the Ordination, and the presentation of the candidates takes
place.

ELECTION OF THE CANDIDATES


The candidates are called by a Deacon:

Deacon: Let those to be ordained Priests come forward.


Then their names are called by the Deacon.

Rev. Richard C. Adalim, SC.


Rev. Michael Jayson S. Abao, SC.
Each one replies:

Candidates: Present.
Each candidate goes to the Bishop, to whom he makes a sign of reverence.

When the candidates are in their places before the Bishop, the Priest designated by the Bishop says:

Fr. Daniel: Most Reverend Father,


holy mother Church asks you to ordain,
these, our brothers,
to the responsibility of the Priesthood.
The Bishop asks:

Bp. Francis: Do you know them to be worthy?


FOR THE CONFERRAL OF HOLY ORDERS
11
He replies:

Fr. Daniel: After inquiry among the Christian people


and upon the recommendation of those responsible,
I testify that they have been found worthy.
Bp. Francis: Relying on the help of the Lord God
and our Savior Jesus Christ,
we choose these, our brothers,
for the Order of the Priesthood.
All present say:

All: Thanks be to God.

HOMILY
Then the Bishop, while all are seated, gives the Homily. Taking his theme from the biblical readings just proclaimed
in the Liturgy of the Word, he addresses the people and the elect on the priestly office.

PROMISE OF THE ELECT


Commentator: The Bishop will now ask the candidates
for their readiness for ordination to the Order of Priests
after which the candidates
for ordination to the Order of Priests
will express before the bishop
their intention to undertake the office of a Priest
After the Homily, the elect alone rises and stands before the Bishop, who questions all of them in these words:

Bp. Francis: Dear sons,


before you enter the Order of the Priesthood,
you must declare before the people
your intention to undertake this office.
Do you resolve, with the help of the Holy Spirit,
to discharge without fail
the office of the Priesthood in the presbyteral rank,
as worthy fellow workers with the Order of Bishops
in caring the Lord’s flock?
Together, all the elect reply:

Elect: I do.
Bp. Francis: Do you resolve to exercise
the ministry of the word worthily and wisely,
preaching the Gospel and teaching the Catholic faith?
12 RITUAL MASS

Elect: I do.
Bp. Francis: Do you resolve to celebrate faithfully and
reverently
in accord with the Church’s tradition,
the mysteries of Christ,
especially the Sacrifice of the Eucharist
and the Sacrament of Reconciliation,
for the glory of God
and the sanctification of the Christian people?
Elect: I do.
Bp. Francis: Do you resolve to implore God’s mercy
upon the people entrusted to your care
by observing the command to pray without ceasing?
Elect: I do.
Bp. Francis: Do you resolve to be united more closely every day
to Christ the High Priest,
who offered himself for us to the Father
as a pure Sacrifice,
and with him to consecrate yourselves to God
for the salvation of all?
Elect: I do with the help of God.
Commentator: The elect will now make their promise of obedience.
Then each one of the elect goes to the Bishop and, kneeling before him, places his hands between those of the
Bishop.

Bp. Francis: Do you promise respect and obedience


to the diocesan Bishop
and to your legitimate superior?
Elect: I do.
The Bishop always concludes:
FOR THE CONFERRAL OF HOLY ORDERS
13
Bp. Francis: May God who has begun the good work in you
bring it to fulfillment.

LITANY OF SUPPLICATION
Commentator: In a little while,
the Holy Orders will be bestowed to the elect.
Let us pray to God and with all the Saints in heaven
that they may remain faithful to this vocation.
In the Litany of the Saints,
let us plead for God’s grace for Richard Adalim, SC
and Michael Jayson S. Abao, SC
that they may be sanctified
through the help of all the Saints.
Please rise and let us prepare ourselves to pray.
Then all stand. After putting aside the miter, the Bishop stands, faces the people, and, with hands joined, invites
them to pray:

Bp. Francis: My dear people,


let us pray that God the all-powerful Father
will pour out abundantly the gifts of heaven
on these, his servants,
whom he has chosen for the office of Priest.
The elect prostrates themselves and the Litany is sung; all reply. The Deacon says:

Deacon: Let us kneel.


The cantors in then begin the Litany, but the invocations concerning the elect are said in the singular.

Cantor: All:

After the singing of the Litany, the Bishop standing, without hands extended, sings or says:

Bp. Francis: Hear us, we beseech you, Lord our God,


and pour out on these servants of yours
the blessing of the Holy Spirit
and the power of priestly grace,
that those whom in the sight of your mercy
we offer to be consecrated,
may be surrounded by your rich and unfailing gifts.
Through Christ our Lord.
People: Amen.
Deacon: Let us stand.
All rise.

LAYING ON OF HANDS AND PRAYER OF ORDINATION


Commentator: The laying on of hands to the elect now follows.
The gift of the Holy Spirit
for the office of the Order of Priests
is conferred through the Laying On of Hands
by the Bishop and Prayer of Ordination.
The elect rise. One by one they go to the Bishop who stands at his chair wearing the miter, and kneel before him.

The Bishop lays his hands upon the head of each of them, without saying anything.

After the Bishop has laid on hands, all the Priests present, wearing stoles, lay hands on each of the elect, without
saying anything.

After the Laying On of Hands, the Priests remain alongside the Bishop until the end of the Prayer of Ordination in
such a way that the faithful may have a clear view of the rite.

With the elect kneeling before him. The Bishop puts aside the miter, and, with hands extended, he sings or says the
Prayer of Ordination:
FOR THE CONFERRAL OF HOLY ORDERS
17
Bp. Francis: Draw near, O Lord, holy Father,
almighty and eternal God,
author of human dignity:
it is you who apportion all graces.
Through you everything progresses;
through you all things are made to stand firm.
To form a priestly people
you appoint ministers of Christ your Son
by the power of the Holy Spirit
arranging them in different orders.
Already in the earlier covenant offices arose,
established through mystical rites:
when you set Moses and Aaron over your people
to govern and sanctify them,
you chose men next in rank and dignity
to accompany them and assist them in their task.
So too in the desert
you implanted the Spirit of Moses
in the hearts of the seventy wise men;
and with their help
he ruled your people with greater ease.
So also upon the sons of Aaron
you poured an abundant share of their father’s plenty,
that the number of priests prescribed by the Law
might be sufficient for the sacrifices of the tabernacle,
which were a shadow of the good things to come.
But in these last days, holy Father,
you sent you Son into the world,
Jesus, who is Apostle and High Priest of our confession.
Through the Holy Spirit
he offered himself to you as a spotless victim;
and he made his Apostles, consecrated in the truth,
sharers in his mission.

You provided them also with companions


to proclaim and carry out the work of salvation
throughout the whole world.
18 RITUAL MASS

And now we beseech you, Lord, in our weakness,


to grant us these helpers that we need
to exercise the Priesthood
that comes from the Apostles.
Grant, we pray, Almighty Father,
to these your servants the dignity of the Priesthood;
renew deep within them the Spirit of holiness;
may they henceforth possess this office,
which comes from you, O God,
and is next in rank to the office of Bishop;
and by the example of their manner of life,
may they instill right conduct.
May they be worthy co-workers with our Order,
so that by their preaching
and through the grace of the Holy Spirit
the words of the Gospel may bear fruit in human hearts
and reach even to the ends of the earth.
Together with us,
may they be faithful stewards of your mysteries,
so that your people may be renewed
in the waters of rebirth
and nourished from your altar;
so that sinners may be reconciled
and the sick raised up.
May they be joined with us, Lord,
in imploring your mercy
for the people entrusted to their care
and for all the world.
And so may the full number of the nations,
gathered together in Christ,
be transformed into your one people
and made perfect in your Kingdom.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.
People: Amen.

INVESTITURE WITH STOLE AND CHASUBLE
Commentator: Please be seated.
We call on those who will assist the candidate
to come forward for the investiture of stole and chasuble.
It is through this liturgical ministry
of the Order of Priests is outwardly manifested.
After the Prayer of Ordination, all sit. The Bishop puts on the miter and the newly ordained Priests stand. The Priests
assisting the Bishop return to their places, but some of them help the newly ordained Priests to arrange the stole in
the manner proper to Priests and to put on the chasuble.

During the investiture with stole and chasuble and the anointing of hands, the following antiphon is sung with Psalm
109 (110).

Ant. Christ the Lord, a priest for ever;


according to the order of Melchizedek,
offered bread and wine. [E.T. alleluia].
Psalm 110:1-5, 7
The Lord’s revelation to my Master:
“Sit on my right;
your foes I will put beneath your feet.”
The Lord will wield from Zion
your scepter of power;
rule in the midst of all your foes.
A prince from the day of your birth
on the holy mountains;
from the womb before the dawn I begot you.
The Lord has sworn an oath he will not change.
“You are a priest for ever,
a priest like Melchizedek of old.”
The Master standing at your right hand
will shatter kings in the day of his great wrath.
He shall drink from the stream by the wayside
and therefore he shall lift up his head.
Glory to the Father is not said. The psalm is interrupted and the antiphon repeated after the hands of the newly
ordained Priest have been anointed.

Or another appropriate liturgical song of the same kind with suitable antiphon may be sung, especially when Psalm
109 (110) was used as the Responsorial Psalm in the Liturgy of the Word.

ANOINTING OF HANDS
20 RITUAL MASS

Commentator: The bishop will now anoint the hands


of the newly ordained priest.
The anointing of hands is done
to signify the office of the newly ordained priest
to sanctify the Christian people
and offer sacrifice to God.
Next, the Bishop receives a linen gremial. If circumstances so suggest, he instructs the people on the meaning of the
rite. Then he anoints with holy Chrism the palms of each new Priest as he kneels before him. The Bishop says:

Bp. Francis: The Lord Jesus Christ,


whom the Father anointed
with the Holy Spirit and power,
guard and preserve you
that you may sanctify the Christian people
and offer sacrifice to God.
The antiphon is repeated after all the hands of all the newly ordained Priests have been ordained.

Ant. Christ the Lord, a priest for ever;


according to the order of Melchizedek,
offered bread and wine. [E.T. alleluia].
Then, the Bishop and the newly ordained Priests wash their hands.

HANDING OVER OF THE BREAD AND WINE


Commentator: We shall now witness
the handing over of the bread and wine
to our newly ordained priest.
This handing over of the bread and wine
symbolizes the duty of the priest
to offer the oblation of the holy people to God
and live a life according to the mystery of the Lord’s Cross.
Next, some of the faithful bring a paten holding the bread and a chalice containing the wine mixed with water for the
celebration of Mass.
A Deacon receives them and brings them to the Bishop, who places them in the hand of each one of the newly
ordained Priests as he kneels before him. To each one the Bishop says:

Bp. Francis: Receive the oblation of the holy people,


to be offered to God.
Understand what you do, imitate what you celebrate,
and conform your life
to the mystery of the Lord’s Cross.

FRATERNAL KISS
Commentator: The bishop will now give the fraternal kiss
FOR THE CONFERRAL OF HOLY ORDERS
21
to our newly ordained priest.
Lastly, the Bishop gives each of the newly ordained Priests the fraternal kiss, saying:

Bp. Francis: Peace be with you.


The newly ordained Priest replies:

Newly Ordained: And with your spirit.


Likewise, all the Priests present, or at least some of them, give the fraternal kiss to the newly ordained Priests.
Meanwhile, the following responsory be sung.

No longer do I call you servants, but my friends,


because you know all that I have done among you [alleluia].
Receive the Holy Spirit as an Advocate among you:
He is the Spirit whom the Father will send you [alleluia].
You are my friends if you do what I command you. Receive.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
He is the Spirit whom the Father will send you [alleluia].
Or the following antiphon may be sung with Psalm 99 (110).

You are my friends, says the Lord,


if you do what I command you [E.T. alleluia].
Another appropriate liturgical song of the same kind with suitable antiphons may be sung, especially when Psalm 99
(100) was used as the Responsorial Psalm in the Liturgy of the Word.

Meanwhile, the ministers place the corporal, the purificator, the chalice, the pall, and the Missal on the altar.

The Bishop, standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both
hands, saying in a low voice:

Bishop: Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,


for through your goodness we have received
the bread we offer you:
fruit of the earth and work of human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.
Then he places the paten with the bread on the corporal.
If, however, the offertory chant is not sung, the Bishop may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people may
acclaim:

People: Blessed be God for ever.


The Bishop then takes the chalice and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:

Bishop: Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,

If appropriate, he also incenses the offerings, the cross, and the altar. a Deacon or other minister then incenses the
Bishop and the people.

Then the Bishop, standing at the side of the altar, washes his hands, saying quietly:

Bishop: Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity


and cleanse me from my sin.
Standing at the middle of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining his hands, he says:

Bishop: Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),


that my sacrifice and yours
may be acceptable to God,
the almighty Father.
The people rise and reply

People: May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands


for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good
and the good of all his holy Church.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS


Then the Bishop, with hands extended, says the Prayer over the Offerings.

Bp. Francis: O God, who have willed that your Priests


should minister at the holy altar and serve your people,
grant by the power of this sacrifice, we pray,
that the labors of your servants
may constantly please you
and in your Church bear that fruit which lasts for ever.
Through Christ our Lord.

THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
PREFACE: THE PRIESTHOOD OF CHRIST AND THE MINISTRY OF
PRIESTS
Then the Bishop begins the Eucharistic Prayer.

Bishop: The Lord be with you.


People: And with your spirit.
The Bishop, raising his hands, continues:

Bishop: Lift up your hearts.


People: We lift them up to the Lord.
The Bishop, with hands extended, adds:

Bishop: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.


People: It is right and just.
The Bishop, with hands extended, continues the Prefaee:

Bishop: It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God.
For by the anointing of the Holy Spirit
you made your Only Begotten Son
High Priest of the new and eternal covenant,
and by your wondrous design were pleased to decree
that his one Priesthood should continue in the Church.
For Christ not only adorns with a royal priesthood
the people he has made his own,
but with a brother’s kindness he also chooses men
to become sharers in his sacred ministry
through the laying on of hands.
They are to renew in his name
the sacrifice of human redemption,
to set before your children the paschal banquet,
to lead your holy people in charity,
to nourish them with your word
and strengthen them with the Sacraments.

As they give up their lives for you


and for the salvation of their brothers and sisters,
they strive to be conformed
to the image of Christ himself
and offer you a constant witness of faith and love.
And so, Lord, with all the Angels and Saints,
we, too, give you thanks, as in exultation we acclaim:

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER III


The Bishop, with hands extended, says:

Bishop: You are indeed Holy, O Lord,


and all you have created rightly gives you praise,
for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,
by the power and working of the Holy Spirit,
you give life to all things and make them holy,
and you never cease to gather a people to yourself,
so that from the rising of the sun to its setting
a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.
He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:

Bishop with Concelebrants:


Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you:
by the same Spirit graciously make holy
these gifts we have brought to you for consecration,
that they may become the Body and  Blood
of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,
at whose command we celebrate these mysteries.
He joins his hands.
FOR THE CONFERRAL OF HOLY ORDERS

In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, as the
nature of these words requires.

For on the night he was betrayed


he himself took bread,
and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,


FOR THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in adoration.
After this, he continues:

In a similar way, when supper was ended,


he took the chalice,
and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.

TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,


FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration.

Bishop: The mystery of faith.

At patawarin mo kami sa aming mga sala
para nang pagpapatawad namin sa nagkakasala sa amin.
At h’wag mo kaming ipahintulot sa tukso
at iadya mo kami sa lahat ng masama.
With hands extended, the Bishop alone continues, saying:

Bishop: Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,


graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our savior, Jesus Christ.
He joins his hands.

The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming:

Sapagkat sa ‘yo ang kaharian, kapangyarihan at kapurihan,


ngayon at magpakailanman, ngayon at magpakailanman.
Then the Bishop, with hands extended, says aloud:

Bishop: Lord Jesus Christ,


who said to your apostles:
Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,
look not on our sins,
but on the faith of your Church,
and graciously grant her peace and unity
in accordance with your will.
He joins his hands.

Who live and reign for ever and ever.


People: Amen.
The Bishop, turned towards the people, extending and then joining his hands, adds:
FOR THE CONFERRAL OF HOLY ORDERS
31
Bishop: The peace of the Lord be with you always.
People: And with your spirit.
Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Bishop, adds:

Deacon: Let us offer each other the sign of peace.


And all offer one another a sign, in keeping with local customs, that expresses peace, communion, and charity. The
Bishop gives the sign of peace to a Deacon or minister.

Then he takes the host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in the chalice, saying quietly:

Bishop: May this mingling of the Body and Blood


of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.
Meanwhile the following is sung or said:

KORDERO NG DIYOS
Manoling Francisco, SJ
Mass of Mercy and Compassion
Kordero ng Diyos na nag-aalis

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona nobis pacem, dona nobis pacem,
dona nobis pacem.
The invocation may even be repeated several times if the fraction is prolonged. Only the final time, however, is
grant us peace said.

Then the Bishop, with hands joined, says quietly:

Bishop: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,


who, by the will of the Father
and the work of the Holy Spirit,
through your Death gave life to the world,
free me by this, your most holy Body and Blood,
from all my sins and from every evil;
keep me always faithful to your commandments,
and never let me be parted from you.
Or:

May the receiving of your Body and Blood,


32 RITUAL MASS

Lord Jesus Christ,


not bring me to judgment and condemnation,
but through your loving mercy
be for me protection in mind and body
and a healing remedy.
The Bishop genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten or above the chalice, while
facing the people, says aloud:

Bishop: Behold the Lamb of God,


behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of the lamb.
And together with the people he adds once:

All: Lord, I am not worthy


that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.
The Bishop, facing the altar, says quietly:

Bishop: May the Body of Christ


keep me safe for eternal life.
And he reverently consumes the Body of Christ.

Then he takes the chalice and says quietly:

Bishop: May the Blood of Christ


keep me safe for eternal life.
And he reverently consumes the Blood of Christ.

After this, he takes the paten or ciborium and approaches the communicants. The Priest raises a host slightly and
shows it to each of the communicants, saying:

Priest: The Body of Christ.


The communicant replies:

Communicant: Amen.

And receives Holy Communion.

If a Deacon also distributes Holy Communion, he does so in the same manner.

If any are present who are to receive Holy Communion under both kinds, the rite described in the proper place is to
be followed.

While the priest is receiving the Body of Christ, the Communion Chant begins.

When the distribution of communion is over, the Bishop or a Priest or a Deacon or an acolyte purifies the paten over
the chalice and also the chalice itself.
While he carries out the purification, the Bishop says quietly:

Bishop: What has passed our lips as food, O Lord,


may we possess in purity of heart,
that what has been given to us in time
may be our healing for eternity.
