	S. CHRISTE ELEISON. P. Christe eleison. S. CHRISTE ELEISON. P. Kyrie eleison. S. KYRIE ELEISON. P. Kyrie eleison. If the priest does not say the GLORIA IN EXCELSIS, pass to No. 22. If he does say it, say this prayer: Glory be to God on high, and on earth pece to men of good will. O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father almighty, we praise Thee, we bless Thee, we adore Thee, we glorify Thee, we give Thee thanks for Thy great glory. O Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son, Lamb of God, have mercy on us; receive our prayers; for Thou alone art holy; and our sovereign Lord. Glory to be given to the Holy Ghost, one God with the Father and the Son. Amen. P. Dominus vobiscum.
22.	S. ET CUM SPIRITU TUO. Pass to No. 23. If the priest omits DOMINUS VOBISCUM and goes straight to the missal, it is because there are several Epistles (see p.30).
23.	On ordinary days the priest says the COLLCTS. During the first one say: O God, we offer to Thee the Prayers of Thy Church and of all the faithful throughout the world, humly begging Thee to pardon sinners, to pit the dying, and to confirm in grace all those who love Thee: for the sake of Our Lord Jesus Christ. P. Per omnia saecula saeculorum. S. AMEN,
