How does the Pope and even Bishops say mass?

[Mr.Phoenix]

Any priest during mass will say for example: Francis our Pope and Thomas our Bishop.

Surely the Pope can’t say Francis our Pope and Francis our Bishop? What about Bishops?

 

[peter26]

I believe the formula is …“And myself your unworthy servant”.

 

[Fauken]

A bishop would say, “Francis our Pope, and I, your unworthy servant” or something along those lines. I can’t remember the exact wording.

 

[TheLittleLady]

Yep “unworthy servant” is the language.

 

[TomH1]

Bishops say, ‘… together with Francis our Pope and me your unworthy servant …’ if he’s the bishop of the diocese. I, think, if an auxiliary bishop celebrates he says, ‘… together with Francis our Pope, our Bishop N and me your unworthy servant …’. I believe the pope says, ‘… together with me your unworthy servant …’.

 

[Paul_Edwards]

I wonder if Pope Francis has ever accidentally said “Benedict our Pope”

 

[OurLadyofSorrows]

they say
‘for myself, your unworthy servant’

 

[TomH1]

A bishop says, when referring to himself in the Eucharistic Prayer: … me, your unworthy servant.
