* [[Offertory]] Verse
** After greeting the people once more ("''Dominus vobiscum/Et cum spiritu tuo''") and giving the invitation to pray (''Oremus''), the priest enters upon the Mass of the Faithful, from which the non-baptized were once excluded. He reads the Offertory Verse, a short quotation from Holy Scripture which varies with the Mass of each day, with hands joined.
* Offertory Prayers
** The priest offers the host, holding it on the paten at breast level and praying that, although he is unworthy, God may accept "this spotless host (or victim, the basic meaning of ''hostia'' in Latin) for his own innumerable sins, offences and neglects, for all those present, and for all faithful Christians living and dead, that it may avail unto salvation of himself and those mentioned. He then mixes a few drops of water with the wine, which will later become the Blood of Jesus, and holding the chalice so that the lip of the chalice is about the height of his lips, offers "the chalice of salvation", asking that it may "ascend with a sweet fragrance." He then prays a prayer of contrition adapted from [[Book of Daniel|Dan]] [http://drbo.org/cgi-bin/d?b=drb&bk=32&ch=003&l=39-40 3:39–40].
* Incensing of the offerings and of the faithful
** At a [[Solemn Mass|High Mass]], the priest blesses the [[incense]], then incenses the bread and wine. Among the prayers the priest says is [[Psalms|Psalm]] [http://drbo.org/cgi-bin/d?b=drb&bk=21&ch=140&l=2-4 141:2–4]: "Let my prayer, O Lord, be directed as incense in Thy sight;...", which is prayed as he incenses the altar. The priest then gives the thurible to the deacon, who incenses the priest, then the other ministers and the congregation.
* Washing the hands
** The priest prays [[Psalms|Psalm]] [http://drbo.org/cgi-bin/d?b=drb&bk=21&ch=025&l=6-12 26:6–12]: "I will wash my hands among the innocent..."
* Prayer to the [[Trinity|Most Holy Trinity]]
** This prayer asks that the [[Trinity|Divine Trinity]] may receive the oblation being made in remembrance of the passion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus and in honour of blessed Mary ever Virgin and the other saints, "that it may avail to their honour and our salvation: and that they may vouchsafe to intercede for us in [[heaven]]..."
* [[Orate fratres]], [[Suscipiat]] and [[Secret (liturgy)|Secret]]; [[Amen]] concludes Offertory
** Here the priest turns to the congregation and says the first two words, "Orate, fratres", in an elevated tone and then turns around while finishing the exhortation in the secret tone. "Pray, Brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to [[God the Father]] almighty."
** The altar servers respond with the [[Suscipiat]] to which the priest secretly responds, "Amen.": ''Suscipiat Dominus sacrificium de manibus tuis, ad laudem et gloriam nominis sui, ad utilitatem quoque nostram, totiusque ecclesiæ suae sanctæ.'' A translation in the English is: "May the Lord accept this sacrifice at your hands, to the praise and glory of His name, for our good and the good of all His Holy Church."
** The Priest then says the day's Secret inaudibly, and concludes it with ''Per omnia sæcula sæculorum'' aloud.
** The altar servers and (in dialogue Mass) the congregation respond: "Amen."
