Christ our passover has been sacrificed for us

therefore let us celebrate the feast.

 

The Lord is here. 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 our thanks and praise.

Father, almighty and everliving God,

……..for ever praising you and saying:

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!

Blessed are you, Father,………

Therefore, Father, with this bread and this cup

we do as Christ your Son commanded:

we remember his passion and death,

we celebrate his resurrection and ascension,

and we look for the coming of his kingdom.

 

Accept through him, ……….all honour and glory are yours, Almighty Father, for ever and ever. Amen.

 

LORD’S PRAYER

 

The bread which we break is a sharing in the body of Christ. We being many are one body,

for we all share in the one bread.
