EUCHARISTIC PRAYER 5

The Lord be with you or The Lord is here.
and also with you. His Spirit is with us.

Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise.

(Here the President leads the thanksgiving for God's mighty aets in creation and redemption. This form or another must be used. See the Appendix for examples)

Father, you made the world and love your creation.
Through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord, we give you thanks and praise. His dying and rising have set us free from sin and death. By your Spirit you make us your friends.

Therefore we join the saints and angels and sing together,
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, 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!)

Praise and thanks to you, Father in heaven: on the night on which he was betrayed your Son Jesus Christ took bread and gave you thanks he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying: 'This is my body, given for you.' Taking the cup of wine, he said: 'This is my blood, shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of me.'

As we remember his death on the cross, his sacrifice once for all to save us we rejoice in his living presence.

(Great is the mystery of faith:)
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

Send your Holy Spirit, that the bread which we break and the cup which we bless may be the communion of the body and blood of Christ.

Unite us with him and with all God's people in heaven and earth.
Glory, worship, praise and thanksgiving be to you, our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.
