Priest's Intention before Mass (Ego volo celebrare Missam)
I purpose to celebrate Holy Mass, and to consecrate the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to the rites of the Holy Roman Church, to the praise of Almighty God and of all the Church triumphant, for the good of myself and of all the Church militant, for all who have recommended themselves to my prayers in general or in particular, and for the happy estate of the Holy Roman Church. Amen. May the almighty and merciful Lord God grant unto us all joy and peace, amendment of our lives, time for true penance, the grace and the comfort of the Holy Ghost, and perseverance in every good work. Amen.
