The Priest, with hands extended,
says:
You are
indeed Holy O Lord, the fount of all holiness
He joins his hands and, holding them
extended over the offerings, says:
Make
Holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them
like the dewfall,
He joins his hands and makes the
Sign of the Cross once over the bread and the chalice together, saying:
so that
they may become for us the Body and X Blood of
our Lord, Jesus Christ.
He joins his hands.
At the time
he was betrayed and entered willingly into his Passion,
He takes the bread and, holding it
slightly raised above the altar, continues:
he took
bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND
EAT OF IT,
FOR THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU
In a
Similar way, when supper was ended,
He takes the chalice and, holding it
slightly raised above the altar, continues:
He took the
chalice and once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND
DRINK FROM IT,
FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF
MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND
ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT
FOR YOU AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
Then he says:
The mystery
of faith
And the people continue, acclaiming:
We proclaim
your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
Then the Priest, with hands extended
says:
Therefore
as we celebrate the memorial of his Death and Resurrection, we offer you, Lord,
the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have
held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you. Humbly we pray that,
partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the
Holy Spirit.
Remember,
Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness
of charity, together with N. our Pope and N. our Bishop and all the clergy.
In
Masses for the Dead, the following may be added:
Remember
your servant N., whom you have called (today) from this world to yourself.
Grant that he (she) who was united with your Son in a death like his, may
also be one with him in his Resurrection.
|
Remember
also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the
resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy:
Welcome
them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray, that with the blessed
Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with the blessed Apostles, and all the Saints who
have pleased you throughout the ages, we may merit to be co-heirs to eternal
life, and may praise and glorify you
He joins his hands.
through
your Son, Jesus Christ.
He takes the chalice and the paten with the host
and raising both, he says:
Through
him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, all glory and honour is yours, for ever and ever.
R/ Amen
