With his hands joined upon the altar, the Priest bows slightly as he says the following prayer:
N spiritu
humilitatis, et in animo contrito suscipiamur a te, Domine, et sic fiat sacrificum nostrum in conspectu tuo hodie, ut placeat
tibi, Domine Deus.
CCEPT us, O Lord,
in our spirit of humility and contrition of heart, and grant that the sacrifice which we offer this day in Thy sight may be
pleasing to Thee, O Lord God.
