chalice from your mouth until you have<br />

finished lest you should spill the<br />

Precious Blood. 45<br />

Place the paten (still in your left<br />

hand) and the chalice on the altar<br />

simultaneously, the paten now at the<br />

center where the Host had been. Without<br />

delaying for thanksgiving, immediately<br />

extend the chalice to the right of the<br />

corporal for the ablution, 46 saying the<br />

Quod ore sumpsimus to the end.<br />

Take about as much wine as you<br />

did at the Offertory 47 and raise the<br />

chalice slightly as a signal for the server<br />

to stop pouring. In doing this be careful<br />

not to strike the chalice against the cruet.<br />

Tilt the chalice so that the wine<br />

will dissolve any drops of Precious<br />

Blood and, holding the paten again<br />

under your chin, drink the ablution from<br />

the same part of the chalice from which<br />

you drank the Precious Blood.<br />

Now place the chalice on the<br />

corporal at the front and the paten<br />

behind the chalice. Place your thumbs<br />

and forefingers joined on the cup of the<br />

chalice, the other fingers around the<br />

outside of the cup. Holding the chalice<br />

thus, carry it over the altar to the Epistle<br />

side and place it on the mensa.<br />

Q<br />

uod ore súmpsimus, Dómine,<br />

pura mente capiámus: et de<br />

múnere temporáli fiat nobis<br />

remédium sempitérnum.<br />

45 It is not necessary to raise the chalice much<br />

higher than a horizontal position. Any smacking<br />

of the lips or other undue noise should be<br />

avoided.<br />

46 Do not place the chalice on the altar, but hold<br />

it above it, unless the server is very small.<br />

47 Most authors suppose this. It is not strictly<br />

necessary, however, if the celebrant will take<br />

care to tilt the chalice and revolve it so as to take<br />

up any drops of the Precious Blood which<br />

remain.<br />
