The Nicene Creed

Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem Caeli et terrae, visibilium et invisibilium.	I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum, et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula.	And in one lord Jesus Christ, only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages.
Deum de Deo; Lumen de Lumine; Deum vero de Deo vero; genitum non factum; consubstantialem Patri, per quem omnia facta sunt.	God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God; begotten, not made; of one substance with the Father; through whom all things were made.
Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem, descendit de caelis, et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto, ex Maria virgine; et homo factus est.	Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was made flesh by the Holy Spirit from the virgin Mary, and was made man.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato, passus et sepultus est.	He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he died and was buried.
Et resurrexit tertia die secundum scripturas; et ascendit in caelum; sedet ad dexteram Patris; et iterum venturus est cum gloria iudicare vivos et mortuos; cuius regni non erit finis.	And he arose the third day in fulfillment of the scriptures; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; he will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem; qui ex Patre Filioque procedit; qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur; qui locutus est per Prophetas.	And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; and with the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified; who has spoken through the prophets.
Et unum sanctam catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam.	And in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
Confiteor unum baptisma* in remissionem peccatorum et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi saeculi.	I confess one baptism for the remission of sins, and expect the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen	Amen.

*Our budding Latinists will perhaps be taken aback at this form, which looks for all the world like a nominative or perhaps an ablative of the first declension, but seems to be acting as a direct object and to be modified by a masculine or neuter adjective. In fact it is a neuter accusative singular, but of an irregular declension derived from the Greek.

Communion

Postcommunion

Ite Missa Est

Ite, missa est.	[Go, the mass is ended.]*
Deo gratias	Thanks be to God.

* This is one of those peculiar cases in which the meaning of a word has been taken from one particular context and turned upon itself. The strict Latin sense of “missa est” is more like “it has been sent” or “you are sent forth” — a slightly difficult use of the impersonal verb. Over time, and especially as the popular understanding of Latin dwindled, the perception apparently changed to something like “it’s a missa” — fostering the assumption that the name of this event they had witnessed was in fact “missa” — whence our modern word “Mass” — though it was in origin only the participle of the verb mitto.
