silently
priest:
Quibus verbis prolatis, statim Hostiam consecratam genuflexus adorat: surgit, ostendit populo, reponit super Corporale, et genuflexus iterum adorat: nec amplius pollices et indices disiungit, nisi quando Hostia tractanda est, usque ad ablutionem digitorum.
The words spoken, the priest genuflects and adores the consecrated Host, rises, shows it to the people — the elevation, at which the server rings the bell three times — lays it on the corporal and genuflects again. From now until the ablution of the fingers he keeps thumb and forefinger joined, parting them only to handle the Host.
