(In whose hands are iniquities; their right hand is filled with gifts.)
Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum: redime me, et miserere mei.
(But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.)
Pes meus stetit in directo: in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.

Gloria Patri, etc.
(Glory be to the Father, etc.)
Returning and 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 Baptistæ, 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 cœlis, quorum memoriam agimus in terris. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
(Receive, O Holy Trinity, this oblation, which we make to Thee in memory of the Passion, resurrection, and ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and in honor [pg 566] of the blessed Mary, ever virgin, of blessed John Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the saints; that it may be available to their honor and our salvation; and that they may vouchsafe to intercede for us in heaven whose memory we celebrate on earth. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.)
