338 Syro-Malabar Holy Mass in English
SER: Let us commend ourselves and one another / to the Fa-
ther, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

ALL: Lord our God, we commend ourselves to You.

CEL: Lord our God, we humbly pray to You. Fill us with Your
graces. Forgive the debts of our beloved dead / and crown them
with eternal glory. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, / the
Lord of all, forever.

ALL: Amen

AFTER THE KAROZUTHA

SER: Bless us, O Lord. Brothers and Sisters, bow your heads for
the imposition of hands / and receive the blessing.

(Everybody bows. The celebrant bows and says the fol-
lowing prayer in a low voice.)

(On Sundays and Feast Days)

CEL: Lord, Almighty God! Yours is the Holy Catholic Church /
the flock, redeemed through the passion and suffering of Your
Anointed Son. Through the Grace of the Holy Spirit / who is one
in Divine Being with You / the orders of true priesthood are con-
ferred / by the imposition of hands. In Your great mercy, You
have made us worthy / - weak and lowly though we are - / to be
distinctive members of Your mystical body, the Church / to min-
ister to the faithful. Lord, fill us with Your mercy and grace / and
pour forth Your blessings through our hands. May Your mercy
and blessings be on us / and on this Your chosen people.

(On weekdays and during Lent)

CEL: Lord, our God, extend Your merciful right hand / over the
universal and apostolic Church. Protect it from every danger /
visible and invisible. In Your compassion / make us worthy to
minister in Your presence / with devotion, diligence, and purity.

(Resuming a straight posture, the celebrant prays in a
loud voice)
