Tridentine editions prescribed that a prayer be said for the person who recited the Confiteor. After the priest's recitation, the server(s) prayed: "Misereátur tui omnípotens Deus, et dimíssis peccátis tuis, perdúcat te ad vitam ætérnam" (May Almighty God have mercy upon you and, your sins having been forgiven, may He bring you to eternal life). And the priest responded: "Amen". After the recitation by the server(s), the priest said the same prayer (with "vestri" and "vestris", "you" plural, not "you" singular), and the server(s) answers: "Amen". In editions since 1970, in which the "Confiteor" is recited jointly, this prayer is said by the priest alone, replacing "vestri" and "vestris" ("you" and "your") with "nostri" and "nostris" ("us" and "our"). The official English translation is: "May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life."
