Profession of Faith

(Standing)

I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, Our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Preface

Father, all-powerful and everliving God, we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord. Through his cross and resurrection he freed us from sin and death and called us to the glory that has made us a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart. Everywhere we proclaim your mighty works for you have called us out of darkness into your own wonderul light. And so, with all the coirs of angels in heaven we proclaim your glory and join in their unending hymn of praise:

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.

Father, You are holy indeed, and all creation rightly gives You praise. All life, all holiness comes from You, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, by the working of the Holy Spirit. From age to age you gather a people to yourself, so that from east to west a perfect offering may be made to the glory of Your name. And so, Father, we bring You these gifts. We ask You to make them holy by the power of Your Spirit, that they may become the body and blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command we celebrate this Eucharist (the priest blesses the bread and wine).

(The Assembly kneels)

On the night he was betrayed, He took bread and gave You thanks and praise. He broke the bread (please do not break the bread yet...), gave it to his disciples and said:

«Take this all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you.»

(the priest bows in adoration)

When supper was ended, He took the cup. Again He gave You thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said:

«Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all, so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.»

(the priest bows in adoration)

Let us proclaim the mystery of faith:

Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

(The Assembly stands)

Father, calling to mind the death your Son endured for our salvation, his glorious resurrection and ascension into heaven, and ready to greet him when He comes again, we offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice. Look with favour on your Church's offering, and see the Victim whose death has reconciled us to yourself.

Grant that we, who are nourished by his body and blood, may be filled with his Holy Spirit, and become one body, one spirit in Christ.

May he make us an everlasting gift to you and enable us to share in the inheritance of your saints, with Mary, the virgin Mother of God, Joseph her chaste spouse; with the apostles, the martyrs, (Saint John Bosco), and all your saints, on whose constant intercession we rely for help.

Lord, may this sacrifice, which has made our peace with you, advance the peace and salvation of the world. Strengthen in faith and love your pilgrim Church on earth: your servant, Pope Benedict XVI, our bishop N., and all the bishops, with the clergy and the entire people your Son has gained for You.

Father, hear the prayers of the family, you have gathered here before you. In mercy and love unite all your children wherever they may be. Welcome into your kingdom our departed brothers and sisters, and all who left this world in your friendship. We hope to enjoy forever the vision of your glory, through Christ our Lord, from whom all good things come.

(Only the priest says this proclamation)

Through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours almighty Father forever and ever.

Amen.

Communion

Let us pray with confidence to the Father in the words our Saviour gave us:

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.

Deliver us, Lord from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever.

The Peace

Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles: «I leave you peace, my peace I give you.» Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church, and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom where you live for ever and ever.

Amen.

The peace of the Lord be with you always.

And also with you.

Breaking of the Bread

May this mingling of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it.

(The Assembly says:)

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 priest says it in low voice:)

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, by the will of the Father and the work of the Holy Spirit your death brought life to the world. By your holy body and blood free me from all my sins and from every evil. Keep me faithful to your teaching, and never let me be parted from you.

This is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to His supper.

Lord, I am not worthy to receive You, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Prayer after communion

Let us pray... we ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

Conclusion

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

May almighty God bless you, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Go in the peace of Christ.

Thanks be to God.
