Benedicite servi Domini Domino

 

Note: When a priest celebrates Mass more than once, each Maas must he said entirely, including the prayers at the foot of the altar. The only difference to be observed is with regard to the purification of the chalice. If the celebrant is to say Mass again the same day he may not purify the chalice in the usual way because to do so would break his fast. At the Offertory of the first Mass it is better to pour all the contents of the wine cruet into the chalice. This will prevent him from taking the ablutions afterwards through oversight. After the consumption of the Precious Blood he replaces the chalice on the corporal and covers it with the pall, He takes no ablutions; he says the prayer, Quod ore sumpsimus, with hands joined, at the middle of the altar; then purifies his fingers in the little glass vessel containing water, which should stand on the gradine or altar, saying Corpus tuum, Domine. Then he covers the chalice, unpurified, with the purificator (not wiping it inside), paten, pall, veil. But he does not put the corporal into the burse. The chalice remains standing on the corporal, the burse at the side. If there is an interval between the Masses the unpurified chalice—which must all the time stand on a corporal—may be left on the altar, or brought to the sacristy, or even put (without the veil) into the tabernacle. If a solemn Mass is to follow it may be brought to the credence and placed there on a corporal. Before veiling the chalice or before the next Mass, or even at the Offertory, he must put an altar bread, to be consecrated, on the paten. At the next Mass he does not wipe the chalice inside at the Offertory nor does he then place it on the altar outside the corporal. He places it a little to the Epistle side within the corporal and there, raising it slightly, puts in the wine and water.
