Or, in Lent
Holy God, holy and strong, holy and immortal, have mercy upon us.
When the Gospel is announced the reader says
Listen to the gospel of Christ according to Saint ...
Glory to you, O Lord.
After the Gospel the reader says
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.
Prayers of Intercession may follow (see pages 7-8)
THE LITURGY OF THE SACRAMENT
THE PEACE
A sentence of Scripture from Appendix V of An Order for the Holy Eucharist may be read.
The peace of the Lord be with you always.
And also with you.
A sign of peace may be exchanged.
THE THANKSGIVING
The priest takes the bread and the cup.
Either the priest may say
We celebrate together the gifts and grace of God.
We take this bread,
we take this wine
to follow Christ’s example
and obey his command.
Or the priest may praise God for his gifts in these words
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.
Through your goodness we have this bread to offer,
which earth has given and human hands have made.
It will become for us the bread of life.
Blessed be God for ever.
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.
Through your goodness we have this wine to offer,
fruit of the vine and work of human hands.
It will become our spiritual drink.
Blessed be God for ever.
