The Solemnity of All Saints


Christ Glorified in the Court of Heaven
Fra Angelico - 1428-30, Tempera on wood - National Gallery, London

TE DEUM
O God, we praise Thee, and acknowledge Thee to be the supreme Lord.
Everlasting Father, all the earth worships Thee.
All the Angels, the heavens and all angelic powers,
All the Cherubim and Seraphim, continuously cry to Thee:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of Thy glory.
The glorious choir of the Apostles,
The wonderful company of Prophets,
The white-robed army of Martyrs, praise Thee.
Holy Church throughout the world acknowledges Thee:
The Father of infinite Majesty;
Thy adorable, true and only Son;
Also the Holy Spirit, the Comforter.
O Christ, Thou art the King of glory!
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
When Thou tookest it upon Thyself to deliver man,
Thou didst not disdain the Virgin's womb.
Having overcome the sting of death, Thou opened the Kingdom of Heaven to all
believers.
Thou sitest at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father.
We believe that Thou willst come to be our Judge.
We, therefore, beg Thee to help Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy
Precious Blood.
Let them be numbered with Thy Saints in everlasting glory.

V. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance!
R. Govern them, and raise them up forever.

V. Every day we thank Thee.
R. And we praise Thy Name forever, yes, forever and ever.

V. O Lord, deign to keep us from sin this day.
R. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us.

V. Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, for we have hoped in Thee.
R. O Lord, in Thee I have put my trust; let me never be put to shame.

SANCTUS

Holy, Holy, Holy,

Lord God Sabaoth.

Heaven and earth are filled with your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.


THE CANON OF THE MASS

Therefore, most merciful Father, we humbly beg you and entreat you, through Jesus Christ your Son, Our Lord, to hold acceptable, and to bless, these gifts, these offerings, these holy and unblemished sacrifices which, in the first place, we offer you for your holy Catholic Church. Grant her peace and protection, unity and guidance and throughout the world, together with your servant Benedict the Sixteenth, our Pope, and Denis, our Bishop; and all orthodox believers who cherish the Catholic and Apostolic Faith.

Remember, O Lord, your servants and handmaids who have died in your peace, and all here present, whose faith and devotion are known to you; on whose behalf we offer to you, or who themselves offer to you this sacrifice of praise for themselves, for their families and friends, for the redemption of their souls, for their hope of salvation and their preservation from harm, and who fulfil their obligation to you, the eternal, living and true God.

In the communion of saints we venerate the memory, first of all, of the glorious and ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ. Next we observe the memory of blessed Joseph, husband of the same Virgin, and of your blessed Apostles and Martyrs, Peter and Paul, Andrew, James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon and Thaddeus; of Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sextus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian, and all your saints. Grant, by their merits and prayers, that we may be always strengthened by the help of your protection. Through the Same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Graciously accept, then, we beseech you, O Lord, this offering of our service and that of all your household. Order our days in your peace, save us from everlasting damnation, and bid us be numbered in the flock of those you have chosen. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

We beseech you, O God: deign to bless our offering, and make it approved, effective, right, and acceptable, that it may become for us the Body and Blood of your most beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
