THE PROFESSION OF FAITH
(Nicene Creed)
I believe in One God,
the Father, the Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten not made,
of one being with the Father.
Through Him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
He came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit
He was born of the Virgin Mary
here genuflect
AND BECAME MAN.
For our sake He was crucified
under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered death and was buried.
On the third day He rose again
in fulfillment of 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 and Giver of Life
Who proceeds from the Father,
With the Father and the Son
He is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in One, Holy, Catholic
and Apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins.
I look for the resurrection
of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

THE CANON
Eucharistic Prayer 1
Based on the Traditional Canon
Father, through Jesus Christ, Your Son, we ask You to accept
and bless these gifts we offer You in sacrifice.
We offer them for Your holy Catholic Church, asking You to
defend and guide it throughout the world.
We offer them for N., our Prime Bishop, and N., our Bishop,
and for all bishops, priests, deacons and other ministers who
profess the true faith which comes to us from the apostles.
Remember Your people, Lord, espcecially our brothers and
sisters for whom we now pray.
Remember all of us who are present here, who truly believe and
are devoted to You.
We offer this sacrifice of praise to You, our living, eternal and
true God, for ourselves and all those we love, for the
redemption of our souls, with hope for our salvation.
Together with the whole Church we honor the Virgin Mary,
the mother of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We also honor the
apostles and martyrs, as well as all those who have lived and
died confessing Your name.
In remembering them we desire to follow their example and so
gain Your love and help.
Father, accept this offering from Your whole family. Grant us
Your peace in this life, preserve us from spiritual damnation
and count us among Your chosen people.
Bless, accept and approve this offering we now make to
You and let it be pleasing to You.
Fill it with the power of Your Holy Spirit and let it become
for us the Body and the Blood of Your Son, our Lord, Jeus
Christ.
The Consecration
The day before He suffered and died, our Lord desired to make
His love known to His disciples and all who would follow
Him.
He, therefore, instituted these Sacred Mysteries by which He
joined Himself with them spiritually and bodily, in His whole
being, and abides with us forever.
At the moment, so sacred for all of humanity, Jesus took bread
into His holy hands and, looking up to heaven to You, His almighty
Father, He gave You thanks. He blessed the bread,
broke it and gave it to His disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and eat it
FOR THIS IS MY BODY
WHICH IS GIVEN FOR YOU.
When supper had ended, He took the cup. In the same way He
gave You thanks, blessed it and gave it to His disciples,
saying:
Take this, all of you, and drink from it:
FOR THIS IS THE CUP OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF
THE NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT, WHICH
SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE
FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
As often as you do this, do it in remembrance of Me.
Father, in celebration of the memory of Jesus Christ, Your Son,
we, Your people, recall His passion, resurrection from the
dead and ascension into glory.
From the many gifts You have given us, we offer You this
pure, holy and spotless offering: the holy Bread of Life and the
holy Cup of Eternal Salvation.
Look favorably on these offerings and accept them as You
once accepted the gifts of Your servant, Abel, and the sacrifice
of your father in faith, Abraham, and the bread and wine offered
by Your priest, Melchisedech.
In humility we ask, Father, that these offerings be carried by
Your angel to Your high altar in heaven so that we, who
receive the sacred Body and Blood of Your Son from the altar,
may be filled with Your grace and blessing.
Remember, Lord, our brothers and sisters who have died and
have gone before us marked with the sign of faith.
May these and all who rest in Christ find happiness, light and
peace.
And we, who trust in Your love, also ask to be included in the
fellowship of Your holy apostles, martyrs and saints who
offered their lives to You.
They were filled with Your justice and mercy and, because
they lived in accord with the teachings of Jesus, gained
eternal joy.
Count us among them, Father, not because of what we truly
deserve, but because You are willing to forgive us. We ask this
in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, by Whom You give us
all these gifts; You fill them with life and goodness; You bless
them and make them holy.
C. Through Him, with Him and in Him, in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, all honor and glory are Yours, almighty Father,
forever and ever.
R. Amen.
COMMUNION RITE
The Lord's Prayer
C. Let us pray with confidence to the Father in the words
our Savior 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 Savior,
Jesus Christ.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours,
now and forever.
Breaking of the Bread
C. The Cup of Blessing which we bless, is it not a
participation in the Blood of Christ?
The Bread which we break, is it not a participation in the
Body of Christ?
R. Because there is one Bread,
we who are many are one body,
for we all partake of the one Bread.
C. May the union of divinity and humanity in Jesus Christ
bring us sanctification and eternal life.
R. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, You said to Your apostles: I leave you
peace, My peace I give you. Do not look at our sins, but on
the faith of Your Church, and grant us the peace and unity
of Your kingdom where You live forever and ever.
R. Amen.
C. The peace of the Lord be with you always.
R. And also with you.
Let us offer each other a sign of peace.
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.
Communion Prayer
C. Let us pray together:
- I -
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.
- II -
May the partaking of Your Body and Blood,
Lord Jesus, not be cause
for my judgment or condemnation.
Though I am unworthy to receive this great Sacrament,
through Your loving kindness
may it become my safeguard and healing remedy.
My saving Master, awaken in me a living faith,
fervent love, worship, adoration and a holy longing.
Through this Communion make me Your willing
servant, zealous to fulfill Your holy will.
May it at last unite me entirely with You,
my Lord and my God.
I will take the Bread of Heaven and call upon the name of
the Lord.
Lord, I am not worthy to receive You,
but only say the word and I shall be healed.
May the Body of Christ bring me everlasting life.
May the Blood of Christ bring me everlasting life.

This is the Lamb of God,
Who takes away the sins of the world.
Happy are those who are called to the table of the Lord.

healing and strength now and forever. Amen.
