While the Priest  offers  the  Host:

CCEPT, O  holy  Father,  almighty,  eternal  God, this immaculate  Host,  which  I,  Thy  unworthy servant,  offer  unto  Thee,  my  living and true  God,  for  my  innumerable  sins,  offences,  and negligences, and  for  all  here  present;  as  also  for  all faithful Christians,  both  living  and  dead,  that  it  may be profitable  for  my  own  and  for  their  salvation  unto life eternal. Amen.

The Priest puts  wine  and  water  into  the  chalice:

God, Who  in  creating  human  nature  didst wonderfully dignify  it,  and  hast  still  more wonderfully renewed  it;  grant  that,  by  the mystery of  this  water  and  wine,  we  may  be  made partakers of  His  divinity  Who  vouchsafed  to  become partaker of  our  humanity,  Jesus  Christ,  Thy  Son, Our Lord;  Who  liveth  and  reigneth  with  Thee  in the  unity  of,  etc.

Whilst the Priest  offers  the  chalice:

E offer  unto  Thee,  O  Lord,  the  chalice  of  salvation, beseeching  Thy  clemency,  that,  in  the sight of  Thy  divine  Majesty,  it  may  ascend with the  odor  of  sweetness,  for  our  salvation,  and for that  of  the  whole  world. Amen.

In the  spirit  of  humility,  and  with  a  contrite  heart, let us  be  received  by  Thee,  O  Lord;  and  grant  that the sacrifice  we  offer  in  Thy  sight  this  day  may  be pleasing  to  Thee,  O  Lord  God.

The Priest washes  his  fingers:

will wash  my  hands  amongst  the  innocent; and will  compass  Thy  altar,  O  Lord. That I  may  hear  the  voice  of  Thy  praise; and tell  all  Thy  wondrous works.
