*The Celebrant now praises God for the salvation of the world through 
Jesus Christ our Lord.*

*The Prayer continues with these words*

And so, Father, we bring you these gifts.  Sanctify them by 
your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood 
of Jesus Christ our Lord.

*At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold 
it, or to lay a hand upon it; and at the words concerning the cup, to 
hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine 
to be consecrated.*

On the night he was betrayed he took bread, said the 
blessing, and gave it to his friends, and 
said, "Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you.  
Do this for the remembrance of me."

After supper, he took the cup of wine, gave thanks, and 
said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new 
Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the 
forgiveness of sins.  Whenever you drink it, do this for the 
remembrance of me."

Father, we now celebrate the memorial of your Son.  By 
means of this holy bread and cup, we show forth the sacrifice 
of his death, and proclaims his resurrection, until he comes 
again.

Gather us by this Holy Communion into one body in your 
Son Jesus Christ.  Make us a living sacrifice of praise.

By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy 
Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and 
for ever.  AMEN.
