This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1848 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER I. THE OFFERTORY AND OBLATION. P. We are now to enter upon the most solemn part of the great Eucharistic Office; let me bespeak your reverent and devout attention. After the Creed, or on days when it is not said, at the close of the Gospel, the priest addresses the people in the words " Dominus vobiscum."

The priest then lowers the paten with the bread to within a short distance of the altar, makes with it the sign of the Cross, and, depositing the sacred bread before him on the corporal, places the paten partially under the corporal on his right.
