Munera, quaesumus, Domine, oblata sanctifica : et corda nostra Sancti Spiritus illustratione emunda. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium Tuum, qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate ejusdem Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Preface of Pentecost

Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos Tibi semper et ubique gratias agere : Domine, Sancte Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus : per Christum, Dominum nostrum. Qui, ascendens super omnes caelos sedensque ad dexteram Tuam, promissum Spiritum Sanctum (hodierna die) in filios adoptionis effudit. Quapropter profusis gaudiis totus in orbe terrarum mundus exsultat. Sed et supernae Virtutes atque angelicae Potestates hymnum gloriae Tuae concinunt, sine fine dicentes :

English translation

It is truly meet and just, right and available to salvation, that we should always and in all places give thanks to You, o Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ our Lord, who ascending over all the heavens and sitting at Your right hand, had (this day) according to His word, send down the Holy Spirit upon the children of His adoption. Wherefore all peoples upon this earth rejoice with exceeding great joy, the heavenly virtues likewise and the angelic powers sing a hymn to Your glory and unceasingly repeat :

Communion

Acts 2 : 2, 4

Factus est repente da caelo sonus, tamquam advenientis Spiritus vehementis, ubi erant sedentes, Alleluja : et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, loquentes magnalia Dei, Alleluja, Alleluja.

English translation

There came suddenly a sound from heaven as of a mighty wind coming, where they were sitting, Alleluia. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking the wonderful works of God, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Post-Communion Prayer

Sancti Spiritus, Domine, corda nostra mundet infusio : et sui roris intima aspersione fecundet. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium Tuum, qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate ejusdem Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

English translation

May our hearts be cleansed, o Lord, by the inpouring of the Holy Spirit, may He render them fruitful by watering them with His heavenly dew. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who with You lives and reigns in the unity of the same Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
