Offertorio

[Domine Jesu Christe]Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae:libera animas omnium fidelumdefunctorum de poenis inferniet profundo lacu; libera eas de ore leonis;ne absorbeat eas tartarus,ne cadant in obscurum.Sed signifer sanctus Michaelrepraesentet eas in lucem sanctam.Quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini ejus.

[Hostias]Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus.Tu suscipe pro animabus illis, quarum hodie memoriam facimus.Fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam,quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini ejus.

Libera animas omnium fidelum defunctorum de poenis inferni;fac eas de morte transire ad vitam.

Offertorium

[Oh Lord Jesus Christ]Oh Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory:Deliver the souls of the faithfulDeparted from the pains of hellAnd from the bottomless pit; Save them from the lions' mouth;So that hell may not engulf them,That they may not fall in darkness.Let the standard-bearer, Saint Michael,Lead them into a holy light.Which once You promised Abraham and his seeds.

[Sacrifices]Sacrifices and prayers of praise we offer to You, Oh Lord.You (who) receive them on behalf of those souls, of whom we this day commemorate.Allow them, Oh Lord, to pass from death into life,Which once You promised Abraham and his seeds.

Deliver the souls of the faithful departed form the pains of hell;Making them pass from death into life.
