Sacrifice

Council of Trent (September 7, 1572) under Pope Pius IV:
Session XXII on the Sacrifice of the Mass

And forasmuch as, in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the mass, that same Christ is contained and immolated in an unbloody manner, who once offered Himself in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross; the holy Synod teaches, that this sacrifice is truly propritiatory and that by means thereof this is effected, that we obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid, if we draw nigh unto God, contrite and penitent, with a sincere heart and upright faith, with fear and reverence. For the Lord, appeased by the oblation thereof, and granting the grace and gift of penitence, forgives even heinous crimes and sins. For the victim is one and the same, the same now offering by the ministry of priests, who then offered Himself on the cross, the manner alone of offering being different. The fruits indeed of which oblation, of that bloody one to wit, are received most plentifully through this unbloody one; so far is this (latter) from derogating in any way from that (former oblation). Wherefore, not only for the sins, punishments, satisfactions, and other necessities of the faithful who are living, but also for those who are departed in Christ, and who are not as yet fully purified, is it rightly offered, agreebly to a tradition of the apostles.

CANON III.--If any one saith, that the sacrifice of the mass is only a sacrifice of praise and of thanksgiving; or, that it is a bare commemoration of the sacrifice consummated on the cross, but not a propitiatory sacrifice; or, that it profits him only who receives; and that it ought not to be offered for the living and the dead for sins, pains, satisfactions, and other necessities; let him be anathema.

Accept, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this spotless victim, which I, Thine unworthy servant, offer Thee, my living and true God, to atone for my numberless sins, offenses, and negligences; on behalf of all here present, and likewise for all faithful Christians living and dead, that it may profit me and them as a means of salvation unto life everlasting. Amen.	Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have this bread to offer, which earth has given and human hands have made. It will become for us the bread of life. Blessed be God for ever.
O God, + who hast established the nature of man in wondrous dignity, and even more wondrously hast renewed it, grant that through the mystery of this water and wine, we may be made partakers of His divinity, who has deigned to become partaker of our humanity, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the union of the Holy Ghost, world without end.

In a humble spirit and a contrite heart, may we be accepted by Thee, O Lord, and may our sacrifice so be offered in Thy sight this day as to please Thee, O Lord God.	Lord God, we ask you to receive us and be pleased with the sacrifice we offer you with humble and contrite hearts.

Graciously accept, then, we beseech Thee, O Lord, this oblation of our worship and that of all Thy household.

Do Thou, O God, deign to bless this oblation, and make it approved, + effective, + right, + and wholly pleasing in every way, that it may be, for our good, the Body + and Blood + of Thy 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, unto Thee, O God, His Father almighty, giving thanks to Thee, blessed, broke it, and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take ye all and eat of this.	Qui prídie quam paterétur, accépit panem in sanctas ac venerabiles manus suas, et elevatis óculis in cælum ad te Deum Patrem suum omnipoténtem tibi gratias agens, benedixit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et manducate ex hoc omnes.	Qui, pridie quam pateretur, accepit panem in sanctis ac venerabiles manus suas, et elevatis oculis in caelum ad te Deum Patrem suum omnipotentem, tibi gratias agens benedixit, fregit, deditque discipulis suis, dicens:	The day before he suffered he took bread in his sacred hands and looking up to heaven, to you, his almighty Father, he gave you thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said:
FOR THIS IS MY BODY.	HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.	Accipite et manducate ex hoc omnes: hoc est enim Corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur.	Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you.
In like manner, when the supper was done, taking also this goodly chalice into His holy and venerable hands, again giving thanks to Thee, He blessed it, and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take ye all, and drink of this.	Símili modo postquam coenatum est, accípiens et hunc præclarum Calicem in sanctas ac venerabiles manus suas: item tibi gratias agens, benedixit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et bíbite ex eo omnes.	Simili modo, postquam cenatum est, accipiens et hunc praeclarum calicem in sanctas ac venerabiles manus suas, item tibi gratias agens benedixit, deditque discipulis suis, dicens:	When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave you thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said:
For This Is The Chalice Of My Blood, Of The New And Eternal Covenant: The Mystery Of Faith: Which Shall Be Shed For You And For Many Unto The Forgiveness Of Sins.	HIC EST ENIM CALIX SÁNGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET ÆTÉRNI TESTAMÉNTI: MYSTÉRIUM FÍDEI: QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDÉTUR IN REMISSIÓNEM PECCATÓRUM.	Accipite et bibite ex eo omnes: Hic est enim calix Sanguinis mei novi et aeterni testamenti, qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.	Take this all of you and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven.
As often as you shall do these things, in memory of Me shall you do them.	Hæc quotiescúmque fecéritis, in mei memóriam faciétis.	Hoc facite in meam commemorationem.	Do this in memory of me.
		Mysterium fidei.	Let us proclaim the mystery of faith:
		Mortem tuam annuntiamus, Domine, et tuam resurrectionem confitemur, donec venias.	Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Mindful, therefore, O Lord, not only of the blessed passion of the same Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, but also His resurrection from the dead, and finally His glorious ascension into heaven, we, Thy ministers, as also Thy holy people, offer unto Thy supreme majesty, of the gifts bestowed upon us, the pure + Victim, the holy + Victim, the all-perfect + Victim; the holy Bread + of life eternal, and the Chalice + of unending salvation.	Unde et mémores, Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, ejúsdem Christi Fílii tui Dómini nostri tam beatæ passiónis, nec non et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in cælos gloriósæ ascensiónis: offérimus præclare majestati tuæ de tuis donis, ac datis, hóstiam + puram, hóstiam + sanctam, hóstiam + immaculatam, Panem + sanctam vitæ ætérnæ, et Calicem + salútis perpétuæ.	Father, we celebrate the memory of Christ, your Son. We, your people and your ministers, recall his passion, his resurrection from the dead, and his ascension into glory; and from the many gifts you have given us we offer to you, God of glory and majesty, this holy and perfect sacrifice: the bread of life and the cup of eternal salvation.
And this do Thou deign to regard with gracious and kindly attention, and hold acceptable, as Thou didst deign to accept the offerings of Abel, Thy just servant, and the sacrifice of Abraham our Patriarch, and that which Thy chief priest Melchisedech offered unto Thee, a holy sacrifice and a spotless victim.	Supra quæ propítio ac seréno vultu respícere dignéris: et accépta habére, sícuti accépta habére dignatus es múnera púeri tui justi Abel, et sacrifícium Patriarchæ nostri Abrahæ: et quod tibi óbtulit summus sacérdos tuus Melchísedech, sanctum sacrifícium, immaculatam hóstiam.	Look with favor on these offerings and accept them as once you accepted the gifts of your servant Abel, the sacrifice of Abraham, our father in faith, and the bread and wine offered by your priest Melchizedek.
Most humbly we implore Thee, almighty God, bid these offerings be brought by the hands of Thy holy angel unto Thine altar above; before the face of Thy divine majesty; that those of us who, by participating at this altar, shall receive the most sacred + Body and + Blood of Thy Son, may be filled with every grace and heavenly blessing. Through the same Christ our Lord.	Súpplices te rogamus, omnípotens Deus: jube hæc perférri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublíme altare tuum, in conspéctu divínæ majestatis tuæ: ut quotquot, ex hac altaris partipatióne sacrosanctum Fílii tui, + Corpus, et + Sanguinem sumpsérimus, omni benedictióne cælésti et gratia repleamur. Per eúmdem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.	Almighty God, we pray that your angel may take this sacrifice to your altar in heaven. Then, as we receive from this altar the sacred body and blood of your Son, let us be filled with every grace and blessing. [Through Christ our Lord. Amen.]

May the tribute of my worship be pleasing to Thee, most holy Trinity, and grant that the sacrifice which I, all unworthy, have offered in the presence of Thy majesty, may be acceptable to Thee, and through Thy mercy obtain forgiveness for me and for whom I have offered it. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.	Placeat tibi, sancta Trínitas, obséquium servitútis meæ: et præsta; ut sacrifícium, quod óculis tuæ majestatis indígnus óbtuli, tibi sit acceptabile, mihíque, et ómnibus pro quibus illud óbtuli, sit, te miserante, propitiabile. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
