The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the
Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right and just. It is truly right and
just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Father most
holy, through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, your Word through whom you made all things,
whom you sent as our Savior and Redeemer, incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the
***. Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people, he stretched out his hands
as he endured his Passion, so as to break the bonds of death and manifest the resurrection.
And so, with the Angels and all the Saints we declare your glory, as with one voice we
acclaim: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in
the highest. You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness. Make holy, therefore,
these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall, so that
they may become for us the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the time he was
betrayed and entered willingly into his Passion, 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 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.
The mystery of faith.
We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your Death, O Lord, until you
come again. Save us, Savior of the world, for by your Cross and Resurrection you have
set us free. 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 Benedict our Pope, our local
Bishop and all the clergy. 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
*** Mary, the Mother of God, with the blessed Apostles, and all the Saints who have pleased
you throughout the ages, we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life, and may praise and
glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Through him, and with him, and in him, to
you O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
