Query

If I were about to be ordained to the Diaconate, which I am not, and my Latin were rusty, which it isn't, where would I find on the Internet ... or any(accessible)where else ... an English translation of either the Tridentine rite for Diaconal Ordination; or of the rite in the Bugnini Pontifical; so that I could use it/them on my Ordination Retreat?

According to the older Pontifical:

Throughout the world (with the exception of the US), the Ordinary
Form in English is as given here:

This should be considered as normative for the Latin Rite (and should not therefore be designated the 'Bugnini' rite). Please see:
