The Orate Fratres is a Christian prayer said during the celebration of Mass. The prayer appears both in the modern Catholic rite of Mass and in the older Tridentine Mass. It is also sometimes used in Masses celebrated in the Anglican Communion. It is said just after the Lavabo and right before the Secret or Prayer over the Gifts. Turning toward the people, the priest says in Latin: "Pray, brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God the Father Almighty." To which the server or congregation responds, "May the Lord receive the Sacrifice from your hands, to the praise and glory of His Name, for our good and the good of all His Church." In the Tridentine Mass, the priest then responds, "Amen."
