From the 1963 film "The Cardinal". As the Bishop anoints the left hand of the priest:
Consecrare, et sanctificare digneris, Domine, manus istas per istam unctionem, et nostram bene + dictionem.As the Bishop anoints the right hand:
O Lord, deign to consecrate and sanctify these hands through this anointing and our blessing.
Ut quaecumque benedixerint, benedicantur, et quaecumque consecraverint, consecrentur, et sanctificentur, in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi.As the Bishop hands on the chalice and paten:
That whatsoever things they shall bless shall be blessed and whatsoever things they shall consecrate shall be consecrated and sanctified in the name of our Lord jesus Christ.
Accipe potestatem offerre sacrificium Deo, Missasque celebrare, tam pro vivis, quam pro defunctis. In nomine Domini.Here is a link to the full text of the rite of ordination of a priest in the usus antiquior.
Receive the power to offer sacrifice to God and to celebrate Masses, both for the living and for the dead. In the name of the Lord.

It is good to see that traditional priestly societies still preserve the tradition of wrapping the hands with a white linen cloth, after they have been anointed.
I believe such cloth is kept until the death of the mother of the priest, when it is wrapped around her hands and buried with her. I suppose that is how St. Peter identifies the mothers, at Pearly gates, who have sons that are priests!
I wonder if any priests still embed their mothers wedding ring into their chalice, after their deaths?
Awesome!
Thank you for that clip and the translations!
I love the part when the MC makes sure that the host is touching the fingers of the new priest.
This has to be one of my favourite films. It reminds me of the great gift that the Lord has given me and re-kindles in me the joy I felt as the bishop anointed my hand.
It also serves to remind me that the priest is there to go unto the Altar of God.
I watched this film for the first time perhaps a year or two ago, when I was 21 or 22 years old. Though I aspire to religious life in the Dominican Order, I hope and pray that men (including, please the Lord, myself) may be ordained like this once more.
What a beautiful clip.Seeing men and women extraordinary ministers walking all around the altar, opening and closing the Tabernacle is awful.
The film is very good for liturgical detail. There are several good shots of episcopal choir cassocks cum cauda on both the hero and his mentor Quarenghi.
When I first saw the film I thought there was a mistake in that the post 1947 consecration rite was evident, whilst Fermoyle's consecration was set in the 1930s. However, it appears a faithful representation of a Roman contra legem custom.
Good grief! Why are they all jogging down the nave?! I've never seen anyone process so fast. Is there a lunch afterwards they all want to get to?
Ach, Hilary! You just have to get on with the Liturgy, not pansy around - the ordination rite was long enough without ponderous processions :-)
Love the pronunciation of the Latin in this clip.
