PROFESSION OF FAITH (CREED)

[stand]

• I believe in God, the Father almighty,
  Creator of heaven and earth,
  and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
  who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
  born of the Virgin Mary,
  suffered under Pontius Pilate,
  was crucified, died and was buried;
  he descended into hell;
  on the third day he rose again from the dead;
  he ascended into heaven,
  and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
  from there he will come 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.

NICENO-CONSTANTINOPOLITAN CREED:

I believe in one God, the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,

begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

  [bow during the next two lines:]

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

The LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

PRESENTATION AND PREPARATION OF THE GIFTS

[If there is no singing during the presentation of the gifts, the priest may say the preceding prayers aloud, and the people may respond. But if a presentation song is being sung, the priest recites these prayers inaudibly, and the people's response is omitted. Then, after the priest has washed his hands and the music is finished, he invites the people to join in prayer:]

Priest: Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, ...

All: Blessed be God for ever.

[stand]

Priest: Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters), that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.

All: 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

[The priest sings or says this prayer, which is different for each Mass. At the end, the people sing or say in response:]

All: Amen.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER

Preface Dialogue:

Priest: The Lord be with you.   

All: And with your spirit.

Priest: Lift up your hearts.   

All: We lift them up to the Lord.

Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God.   

All: It is right and just.

Priest: It is truly right and just, our duty ... 

We declare your glory, as with one voice we acclaim:

Sanctus:

Heaven and earth are full (are full) of your glory.

Hosanna (Hosanna, Hosanna) in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes (who comes) in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna (Hosanna, Hosanna) in the highest.

[kneel]

The Priest continues with the Eucharistic Prayer. After the words pf Consecration the Priest says:

Mystery of Faith (Memorial Acclamation):

Priest: ... 

Do this in memory of me. 

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

The mystery of faith

• When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again.

• Save us, Savior of the world, for by your Cross and Resurrection, you have set us free.

All: We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.

Doxology and Great Amen:

Priest: ... 

At the end of the Eucharistic Prayer, the priest recites this concluding doxology, praising the Trinity. In this prayer, the priest elevates the Sacred Victim (the chalice and the paten) up high, above all temporal realities, and 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.

All: Amen! [may be sung more than once]

[stand]

The COMMUNION RITE

THE LORD'S PRAYER:

Priest: At the Savior’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

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 (deliver us) from evil.

Priest: 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.

All: For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever.

SIGN OF PEACE:

Priest: 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. Who live and reign for ever and ever.

All: Amen.

Priest: The Peace of the Lord be with you always.

All: And with your spirit.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace.

COMMUNION:
