The Liturgy of the Eucharist
priest:
At the Savior’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:
all:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
priest:
Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the
help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await
the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
all:
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever.
(Pause)
priest:
Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are
those called to the supper of the Lamb.
All:
Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.
Bow down for the blessing. (Pause)
May abundant blessing, O Lord, we pray,
descend upon your people,
who have honored the Death of your Son
in the hope of their resurrection:
may pardon come,
PRAYER OVER THE PEOPLE
And all, after genuflecting to the Cross, depart in silence
An act of spiritual communion
My Jesus,
I believe that you are in
the blessed sacrament.
I love you above all things
and I long for you in my soul.
since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually
into my heart.
as though you have already come, I embrace
you
and unite myself entirely
to you; never permit me
to be separated from you.
Amen.
PRAYER after communion
Let us pray (pause)
Almighty ever-living God,
who have restored us to life
by the blessed Death and Resurrection of
your Christ,
preserve in us the work of your mercy,
that, by partaking of this mystery,
we may have a life unceasingly devoted to
you.
Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
comfort be given,
holy faith increase,
and everlasting redemption be made secure.
Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
