Text of the new ICEL translation

The text of the new ICEL translation of the Ordinary of the Mass, courtesy of Fr Sean Finnegan and friends. I will get working on producing some nicer versions in Word and pdf unless someone else can do that little job and let me know in the combox.

UPDATE Fr Sean has sent me a rough and ready pdf which you can download here. (Right-click and save is best.)


(Of course, this is not necessarily the final official text and there may still be quibbles about a word here or there.)

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

[These are the big words the liberals are afraid of]
through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and he Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.
And one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for we have received from your abundance
the bread we offer you,
fruit of the earth and work of human hands:
it will become for us the bread of life.
R. Blessed be God for ever.

By the mystery of this water and wine
may we come to share in the divinity of Christ
who humbled himself to share in our humanity.

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for we have received from your abundance
the wine we offer you,
fruit of the vine and work of human hands:
it will become for us the spiritual drink.
R. Blessed be God for ever.

With humble spirit and contrite heart
may we be accepted by you, O Lord,
and may our sacrifice to you this day
be pleasing in your sight, Lord God.

Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

Pray, brothers and sisters, that the sacrifice which is mine and yours
may be acceptable to God the almighty Father.
R. May the Lord accept the sacrifice from your hands
for the praise and glory of his name, for our good
and the good of all his holy Church.

Lift up your hearts.

Taught by the Saviour’s command and formed by the word of God,
we have the courage to say:
Our Father …

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days,
that, sustained by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope,
the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
R. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever.

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 be pleased to grant her peace and unity
in accordance with your will.
R. Amen.
The peace of the Lord be with you always.
R. And with your spirit.
Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

May this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, by the will of the Father
and the work of the Holy Spirit, you gave life to the world through your death.
By this your most holy Body and Blood free me from all my sins and from every evil;
keep me always faithful to your commandments, and never let me be parted from you.
or —
Lord Jesus Christ, may the receiving of your Body and Blood
not bring me to judgment and condemnation, but through your loving mercy
let it be my protection in mind and body, and healing remedy.

Behold the Lamb of God,
behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the banquet of the Lamb.
R. Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

May the Body of Christ keep me safe unto eternal life.

May the Blood of Christ keep me safe unto eternal life.

The Body of Christ.
R. Amen.

What has passed our lips as food, O Lord, may we possess in purity of heart,
that what has been given us in time may be our healing for eternity.

Let us pray …
R. Amen.
The Lord be with you
R. And with your spirit.
May almighty God bless you: the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
R. Amen.

Go forth, the Mass is ended.
R. Thanks be to God.


Eucharistic Prayer I

To you, most merciful Father, we therefore humbly pray
through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord.
We ask you to accept and bless these gifts, these offerings,
these holy and undefiled sacrifices, which we offer you first of all
for your holy Catholic Church. Be pleased to grant her peace,
to guard, unite and govern her throughout the whole world,
together with your servant N. our Pope and N. our Bishop,
and all Bishops who, holding to the truth, hand on the catholic and apostolic faith.

Remember, Lord, your servants N. and N. and all gathered here,
whose faith and devotion are known to you. For them we offer you this sacrifice of praise
and they offer it to you for themselves and all who are theirs,
for the redemption of their souls, in hope of health and security,
and fulfilling their vows to you, the eternal God, living and true.

In communion with the whole Church, they venerate above all others the memory
of the glorious ever-virgin Mary, Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ,
† then of blessed Joseph, husband of the Virgin, your blessed Apostles and Martyrs,
Peter and Paul, Andrew, James, John, Thomas, James, Philip,
Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon and Jude: Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus,
Cornelius, Cyprian, Laurence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian
and all your Saints:
grant through their merits and prayers that in all things we may be defended
by the help of your protection. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

In communion with the whole Church, and celebrating the most sacred night/day
on which blessed Mary the immaculate virgin brought forth a Saviour for this world,
they venerate above all others the memory of the same glorious ever-virgin Mary,
Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ, †

In communion with the whole Church, and celebrating the most sacred day
on which your Only-begotten Son, eternal with you in your glory,
appeared in a human body, truly sharing our flesh,
they venerate above all others the memory of the glorious ever-virgin Mary,
Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ, †

In communion with the whole Church, and celebrating the most sacred night/day
of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh,
they venerate above all others the memory of the glorious ever-virgin Mary,
Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ, †

In communion with the whole Church, and celebrating the most sacred day
on which your Only-begotten Son, our Lord, set at the right hand of your glory,
our weak human nature, which he had united to himself,
they venerate above all others the memory of the glorious ever-virgin Mary,
Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ, †

In communion with the whole Church, and celebrating the most sacred day of Pentecost,
on which the Holy Spirit appeared to the Apostles in tongues of fire,
they venerate above all others the memory of the glorious ever-virgin Mary,
Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ, †

Therefore, Lord, we pray: graciously accept this offering from us, your servants,
and from your whole family: order our days in your peace,
and command that we be delivered from eternal damnation
and counted among the flock of those you have chosen.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Therefore, Lord, we pray: graciously accept from us, your servants,
and from your whole family, this offering which we make to you
also for those to whom you have been pleased to give
the new birth of water and the Holy Spirit,
granting them forgiveness of all their sins: order our days in your peace,
and command that we be delivered from eternal damnation
and counted among the flock of those you have chosen.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.


We pray, O God: be pleased to bless, recognize,
and approve this offering in every way: make it spiritual and acceptable,
that it become for us the Body and Blood of your most beloved Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who, on the day before he was to suffer took bread into his holy and venerable hands:
with eyes raised to heaven to you, O God, his almighty Father,
giving you thanks he said the blessing, broke the bread
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body,
which will be given up for you.

In the same way, when supper was ended, he took this precious chalice
into his holy and venerable hands,

and once more giving you thanks, he said the blessing and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the Cup of my Blood,
the Blood of the new and eternal Covenant;
it will be poured out for you and for all

[“For All” or “For Many” or “For the Many”: this may still be under dispute.]
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of me.

The mystery of faith.
R. We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection
until you come in glory.
or —
R. When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your death, O Lord,
until you come again.
or —
R. Saviour of the world, save us, for by your cross and resurrection
you have set us free.


Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial of the blessed passion,
the resurrection from the dead, and the glorious ascension into heaven
of Christ, your Son, our Lord, we, your servants and your holy people,
offer to your glorious majesty from your own generous gifts,
the pure victim, the holy victim, the spotless victim,
the holy Bread of eternal life and the Chalice of everlasting salvation.

Be pleased to look upon them, with a serene and kindly gaze,
and to accept them as you were pleased to accept
the gifts of your just servant Abel, the sacrifice of Abraham, our father in faith,
and the offering of your high priest Melchizedek, a holy sacrifice, a spotless victim.

In humble prayer we ask you, almighty God, bid that these gifts be borne
by the hands of your holy Angel to your altar on high
in the sight of your divine majesty, that all of us who receive
the most holy Body and Blood of your Son through this sharing at the altar
may be filled with every grace and blessing from above.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Remember also, Lord, your servants N. and N.
who have gone before us with the sign of faith and rest in the sleep of peace.
Grant them, O Lord, we pray, and all who sleep in Christ,
a place of refreshment, light and peace.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

To us sinners also, your servants who hope in your abundant mercies,
graciously grant some share in the communion of your holy Apostles and Martyrs:
with John the Baptist, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander,
Marcellinus, Peter, Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia,
and all your saints, into whose company we beg you admit us,
not weighing our merits but granting us pardon, through Christ our Lord.

Through whomyou constantly create all these good things, O Lord,
you make them holy and fill them with life, you bless them and bestow them on us.

Through him, and with him, and in him, to you, O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, is all honour and glory,
for ever and ever.
R. Amen.



Eucharistic Prayer II

The Lord be with you
R. And with your spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
R. We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R. It is right and just.

It is truly right and just, our duty and salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks, Father most holy,
through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ,
your Word through whom you made all things,
whom you sent to us as Saviour and Redeemer,
incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin.
Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people,
he stretched out his hands as he suffered,
to break the bonds of death and show forth the resurrection.
Therefore, with the Angels and all the Saints
we proclaim your glory,
as with one voice we say:

R. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

You are indeed the Holy One, O Lord,
you are the wellspring of all holiness.
Therefore, make holy these gifts, we pray,
by the dew of your Spirit,
that they may become for us
the Body and Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Who, as he was handed over
and entered willingly into his Passion,
took bread and, giving thanks, broke it,
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and eat of it,
for this is my Body,
which will be given up for you.

In the same way, when supper was ended,
he took the chalice
and, once more giving you thanks,
he gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and drink from it,
for this is the Cup of my Blood,
the Blood of the new and eternal Covenant;
it will be poured out for you and for all
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of me.

The mystery of faith.
R. We proclaim your death, O Lord,
and profess your resurrection
until you come in glory.
or —
R. When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
we proclaim your death, O Lord,
until you come again.
or —
R. Saviour of the world, save us,
for by your cross and resurrection
you have set us free.

Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection,
we offer you, Lord,
the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation,
giving thanks that you have deemed us worthy
to stand in your presence and serve you.
Humbly we pray
that, sharing in the Body and Blood of Christ,
we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.

Remember, Lord, your Church
spread throughout the world,
and bring her to the fullness of charity,
together with N. our Pope and N. our Bishop
and all the clergy.

[Remember your servant N.
whom you have called {today}
from this world to yourself.
Grant that he/she who was united with your Son in a death like his,
may also be one with him in his resurrection.]

Remember also our brothers and sisters
who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection,
and all who have died in your mercy:
welcome them into the light of your countenance.
Have mercy on us all, we pray,
that with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
the blessed Apostles,
and all the Saints from every age who have pleased you,
we may be worthy to share eternal life,
and may praise and glorify you
through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Through him, and with him, and in him,
to you, O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
is all honour and glory,
for ever and ever.
R. Amen.

Eucharistic Prayer III

You are indeed the Holy One, O Lord,
and all you have created
rightly gives you praise,
for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,
by the power and work of the Holy Spirit,
you give life to all things and make them holy.
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.

Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you,
graciously make holy by the same Spirit,
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.

For he himself
on the night he was handed over
took bread
and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and eat of it,
for this is my Body,
which will be given up for you.

In the same way, when supper was ended,
he took the chalice
and giving you thanks he said the blessing,
he gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and drink from it,
for this is the Cup of my Blood,
the Blood of the new and eternal Covenant;
it will be poured out for you and for all
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of me.

The mystery of faith.
R. We proclaim your death, O Lord,
and profess your resurrection
until you come in glory.
or —
R. When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
we proclaim your death, O Lord,
until you come again.
or —
R. Saviour of the world, save us,
for by your cross and resurrection
you have set us free.

Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial
of the saving passion of your Son,
his wondrous resurrection
and ascension into heaven,
and also look forward to his second coming,
we offer you in thanksgiving
this holy and living sacrifice.

Look, we pray, upon your Church’s offering
and, recognizing the Victim by whose sacrificial death
you willed to be reconciled,
grant that we, who are strengthened
by the Body and Blood of your Son
and filled with his Holy Spirit,
may be found to be one body and one spirit in Christ.

May he bring us to perfection
as an eternal gift to you,
that we may gain an inheritance with your elect,
above all with the most blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs,
[with Saint N.]
and with all the Saints,
whose intercession in your presence
is our unfailing pledge of help.

We pray, O Lord,
may this Victim who is our reconciliation,
advance the peace and salvation of all the world.
Be pleased to strengthen in faith and love
your pilgrim Church on earth,
with your servant N. our Pope and N. our Bishop,
the Order of Bishops, all the clergy,
and the entire people you make your own.

Listen graciously to the prayers of this family,
whom you have called into your presence.
Merciful Father, in your compassion
gather to yourself all your children
scattered throughout the earth.
†Lovingly receive into your kingdom
our departed brothers and sisters
and all who were pleasing to you
at their passing from this life.
In that kingdom we hope to be filled with your glory for ever
through Christ our Lord
through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.

[† Remember your servant N.
whom you have called {today}
from this world to yourself.
Grant that he/she who was united with your Son in a death like his,
may also be one with him in his resurrection,
when from the earth
he will raise in the flesh those who have died,
and transform our lowly body
to be like his own glorious body.
Lovingly receive into your kingdom
our departed brothers and sisters
and all who were pleasing to you
at their passing from this life.
In that kingdom we hope to be filled with your glory for ever
when you will wipe away every tear from our eyes.
For seeing you, God, as you are,
we shall be like you for all ages
and praise you without end,
through Christ our Lord
through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.

Through him, and with him, and in him,
to you, O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
is all honour and glory,
for ever and ever.
R. Amen.


Eucharistic Prayer IV

The Lord be with you
R. And with your spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
R. We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R. It is right and just.

It is truly right to give you thanks,
it is truly just to give you glory, Father most holy,
for you are the one God living and true,
who are before all ages and abide for all eternity,
dwelling in unapproachable light;
yet you, the one good and the source of life,
have made all that is,
to bless your creatures beyond measure
and bring joy to many by the radiance of your light.
Therefore in your presence stand countless hosts of angels,
who serve you day and night,
and, gazing on the glory of your face,
glorify you without end.
With them we too confess your name in exultation
giving voice to every creature under heaven
as we sing:

R. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

We give you praise, Father most holy,
for you are great, and you have fashioned all your works
in wisdom and in love.
You formed man in your own image,
male and female you created them,
and entrusted the whole world to their care,
so that in serving you alone, the Creator,
they might have dominion over all creatures.
And when through disobedience they had lost your friendship,
you did not abandon them in the domain of death.
For you came in mercy to the aid of all,
that those who seek might find you.
Time and again you offered covenants to them,
and through the prophets taught them to look forward to salvation.

And you so loved the world, Father most holy,
that when the fullness of time had come,
you sent your Only-begotten to us as Saviour.
Incarnate by the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary,
he shared our human nature
in all things but sin.
To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation,
to prisoners, freedom,
and joy to the sorrowful of heart.
But to accomplish your plan,
he gave himself over to death,
and, rising from the dead,
he destroyed death and restored life.
And that we might live no longer for ourselves
but for him who died and rose for us,
he sent the Holy Spirit from you, Father,
as first fruits for those who believe,
so that, continuing his work in the world,
he might sanctify creation to the full.

Therefore, O Lord, we pray,
may the same Holy Spirit
graciously sanctify these gifts,
that they may become
the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
for the celebration of this great mystery,
which he himself left us
as an eternal covenant.

For when the hour had come
for him to be glorified by you, Father most holy,
having loved his own who were in the world,
he loved them to the end:
and while they were at supper,
he took bread, blessed and broke it,
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and eat of it,
for this is my Body,
which will be given up for you.

In the same way,
taking the chalice filled with the fruit of the vine,
he gave thanks,
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and drink from it,
for this is the Cup of my Blood,
the Blood of the new and eternal Covenant;
it will be poured out for you and for all
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of me.

The mystery of faith.
R. We proclaim your death, O Lord,
and profess your resurrection
until you come in glory.
or —
R. When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
we proclaim your death, O Lord,
until you come again.
or —
R. Saviour of the world, save us,
for by your cross and resurrection
you have set us free.

Therefore, O Lord,
as we now celebrate the memorial of our redemption,
we remember the death of Christ
and his descent to the realm of the dead,
we proclaim his resurrection
and his ascension to your right hand;
and as we await his coming in glory,
we offer you his Body and Blood,
the sacrifice acceptable to you
and the source of salvation for the whole world.

Look, O Lord, upon the Sacrifice
you yourself have provided for your Church.
Grant in your loving kindness
to all who partake of this one Bread and one Cup
that, gathered into one body by the Holy Spirit,
they may be made perfect as a living sacrifice in Christ
to the praise of your glory.

Therefore, Lord, remember now
all for whom we offer you this sacrifice:
first of all your servant, N. our Pope,
N. our Bishop, and the whole Order of Bishops,
all the clergy,
those who make the offering,
those gathered here before you,
your entire people,
and all who seek you with a sincere heart.

Remember also
those who have died in the peace of your Christ
and all the dead,
whose faith only you have known.

Merciful Father,
grant to all of us, your children,
that we may gain a heavenly inheritance
with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
and with your Apostles and Saints in your kingdom.
There, with all creation,
set free from the corruption of sin and death,
may we glorify you through Christ our Lord,
through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.

Through him, and with him, and in him,
to you, O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
is all honour and glory,
for ever and ever.
R. Amen.
