LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST
The Priest, standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and holds it
slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,

for through your goodness we have received
the bread we offer you:
fruit of the earth and work of human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.

Then he places the paten with the bread on the corporal.

If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these
words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:
Blessed be God for ever.

The Deacon, or the Priest, pours wine and a little water into the chalice,
saying quietly:

By the mystery of this water and wine

may we come to share in the divinity of Christ
who humbled himself to share in our humanity.

The Priest then takes the chalice and holds it slightly raised above the altar
with both hands, saying in a low voice:

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,

for through your goodness we have received
the wine we offer you:
fruit of the vine and work of human hands,
it will become our spiritual drink.

Then he places the chalice on the corporal.

 If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these
words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:
Blessed be God for ever.

After this, the Priest, bowing profoundly, says quietly:

With humble spirit and contrite heart
may we be accepted by you, O Lord,
and may our sacrifice in your sight this day
be pleasing to you, Lord God.

If appropriate, he also incenses the offerings, the cross, and the altar. A
Deacon or other minister then incenses the Priest and the people.
Then the Priest, standing at the side of the altar, washes his hands, saying
quietly:
Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
Standing at the middle of the altar, facing the people, extending and then
joining his hands, he says:

Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters),

that my sacrifice and yours
may be acceptable to God,
the almighty Father.

The people rise and reply:

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands
for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Presider:

Accept, O Lord,
the gifts we offer,
in this time of peril.
May they become for us by your power,
a source of healing and peace.
Through Christ our Lord.

People: Amen.

PREFACE (Various Needs IV)
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with your spirit.
V. Lift up your hearts.
R. We lift them up to the Lord.
V. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R. It is right and just.

It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,

always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Father of mercies and faithful God.

For you have given us Jesus Christ, your Son,

as our Lord and Redeemer.

He always showed compassion

for children and for the poor,
for the sick and for sinners,
and he became a neighbor
to the oppressed and the afflicted.

By word and deed he announced to the world

that you are our Father and that you care
for all your sons and daughters.

And so, with all the Angels and Saints,

we exalt and bless your name
and sing the hymn of your glory,
as without end we acclaim:

The Priest, with hands extended, continues the Preface.

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.

 EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
FOR VARIOUS NEEDS IV

The Priest, with hands extended, says:

You are indeed Holy and to be glorified,

O God, who love the human race
and who always walk with us on the journey of life.
Blessed indeed is your Son,
present in our midst
when we are gathered by his love,
and when, as once for the disciples, so now for us,
he opens the Scriptures and breaks the bread.
He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:
Therefore, Father most merciful,
we ask that you send forth your Holy Spirit
to sanctify these gifts of bread and wine,
He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the Cross once over the bread and the
chalice together, saying:
that they may become for us
the Body and (+) Blood
He joins his hands.
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9
In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced
clearly and distinctly, as the nature of these words requires.
On the day before he was to suffer,
on the night of the Last Supper,
He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:
he took bread and said the blessing,
broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,
FOR THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.

He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten,
and genuflects in adoration.
After this, he continues:
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:
He bows slightly.
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.

10
He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects
in adoration.
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.
or:

Save us, Savior of the world,

for by Your Cross and Resurrection,
You have set us free.

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:

Therefore, holy Father,
as we celebrate the memorial
of Christ your Son, our Savior,
whom you led through his Passion
and Death on the Cross
to the glory of the Resurrection,
and whom you have seated at your right hand,
we proclaim the work of your love
until he comes again
and we offer you the Bread of life
and the Chalice of blessing.

11
Look with favor on the oblation of your Church,
in which we show forth
the paschal Sacrifice of Christ
that has been handed on to us,
and grant that,
by the power of the Spirit of your love,
we may be counted now
and until the day of eternity
among the members of your Son,
in whose Body and Blood
we have communion.

Bring your Church, O Lord,

to perfect faith and charity,
together with Francis our Pope
and Honesto our Bishop,
with all Bishops, Priests and Deacons,
and the entire people you have made your own.

Open our eyes

to the needs of our brothers and sisters;
inspire in us words and actions
to comfort those who labor and are burdened.
Make us serve them truly,
after the example of Christ and at his command.
And may your Church stand as a living witness
to truth and freedom,

12
 to peace and justice,
that all people may be raised up to a new hope.

Remember our brothers and sisters,

who have fallen asleep in the peace of your Christ,
and all the dead, whose faith you alone have known.
Admit them to rejoice in the light of your face,
and in the resurrection give them the fullness of life.

Grant also to us,

when our earthly pilgrimage is done,
that we may come to an eternal dwelling place
and live with you for ever;
there, in communion with
the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with Blessed Joseph her spouse and our Patron,
with the Apostles and Martyrs,
with Saint Rock, Saint Lorenzo Ruiz
and Saint Pedro Calungsod,
and with all the Saints,
we shall praise and exalt you,
He joins his hands.
through your Son, Jesus Christ.

13
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 honor is yours,
for ever and ever.

The people acclaim: Amen.

14
Communion Rite
After the chalice and paten have been set down, the Priest, with hands joined,
says:
At the Savior’s command
and formed by divine teaching,
we dare to say:

He extends his hands and, together with the people, continues:

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.

With hands extended, the Priest alone continues, saying:

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.
He joins his hands.

15
The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming:
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours
now and for ever.

Then the Priest, with hands extended, says aloud:

Lord Jesus Christ,

who said to your Apostles:
Peace I leave you, my peace I give you;
look not on our sins,
but on the faith of your Church,
and graciously grant her peace and unity
in accordance with your will
He joins his hands.
who live and reign for ever and ever.
The people reply:
Amen.

The Priest, turned towards the people, extending and then joining his hands,
adds:
The peace of the Lord be with you always.
The people reply:
And with your spirit.

Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Priest, adds:

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

And all offer one another a sign, in keeping with local customs, that
expresses peace, communion, and charity. The Priest gives the sign of
peace to a Deacon or minister.

16
Then he takes the Host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in
the chalice, saying quietly:
May this mingling of the Body and Blood
of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.

Meanwhile the following is sung or said:

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
grant us peace.

The invocation may even be repeated several times if the fraction is prolonged.
Only the final time, however, is grant us peace said.
Then the Priest, with hands joined, says quietly:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,

who, by the will of the Father
and the work of the Holy Spirit,
through your Death gave life to the world,
free me by this, your most holy Body and Blood,
from all my sins and from every evil;
keep me always faithful to your commandments,
and never let me be parted from you.

17
The Priest genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten
or above the chalice, while facing the people, says aloud:

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.
And together with the people he adds once:
Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.
The Priest, facing the altar, says quietly:
May the Body and Blood of Christ
keep me safe for eternal life.

And he reverently consumes the Body and Blood of Christ.

18
