Hosanna in the highest.
On the night in which he gave himself up for us, he took bread, gave thanks to you, broke the bread, gave it to
his disciples, and said: “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
When the supper was over, he took the cup, gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Drink from
this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of
sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves in praise and
thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ’s offering for us, as we proclaim the mystery of
faith.
Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again.
Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here, and on these gifts of bread and juice.
Make them be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may be for the world the body of Christ, redeemed
by his blood.
By your Spirit make us one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world, until Christ
comes in final victory and we feast at his heavenly banquet.
Through your Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy church, all honor and glory is yours, almighty
Father, now and forever.
Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
And now, with the confidence of children of God, let us pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.
