After The Consecration: “We Most Humbly Beseech Thee, Almighty God . . .”

“When The Mass Is Being Celebrated, The Sanctuary Is Filled With Countless Angels Who Adore The Divine Victim Immolated On The Altar” — Saint John Chrysostom.

The Priest, after the Consecration, says the following:

“We most humbly beseech Thee, Almighty God, command these things to be carried up by the hands of Thy Holy Angel to Thine Altar on High, in the sight of Thy Divine Majesty, that, as many of us who, by participation at this Altar, shall receive the most Sacred Body ☩ and Blood ☩ of Thy Son may be filled with every Heavenly Blessing and Grace.

Through the same Christ Our Lord.

Amen.
