On Sundays and feast days, the Creed is sung or recited:
I believe in one God, the almighty Father, 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, of one being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us human beings and for our salvation he came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man; he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried, rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, 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, and his kingdom will have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who spoke through the prophets. And in one holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I await the resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come. Amen.
The Universal Prayer (Prayer of the Faithful) follows. Then all sit.

The priest raises the chalice over the altar and says:

The priest washes his hands.

The priest raises the Chalice above the altar. Then he genuflects, and when he rises, all rise with him.
Priest: The great mystery of faith.
All: We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection as we await your coming.
Priest: Therefore, remembering his death and resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation, and we thank you for making us worthy to stand before you and serve you. We humbly pray that, by partaking of 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 perfection in love, together with our Pope N., our Bishop N., and all the clergy.
Remember also our brothers and sisters who have died in the hope of the resurrection, and all those who have departed in your mercy, and welcome them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all and make us worthy to share in eternal life with the Most Holy Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, with blessed Joseph, her Spouse, with the holy Apostles (with Saint N.), and with all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, so that with them we may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

All: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Priest: Deliver us, Lord, from every evil. Graciously grant peace in our days, so that, through the power of your mercy, we may always be free from sin and protected from every disturbance, as we await the fulfillment of our blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
All: For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever.
Priest: Lord Jesus Christ, you 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 in accordance with your will graciously grant her peace and unity. You who live and reign for ever and ever.
