THE HOLY EUCHARIST

 
Concerning the Celebration

The President or Celebrant at the celebration of the Eucharist shall be a duly ordained Priest or Bishop of the Anglican Communion.

It is the Bishop’s prerogative, when present, to be the principal celebrant at the Lord’s Table, and to preach the Gospel.

At all celebrations of the Liturgy, it is fitting that the principal celebrant, whether Bishop or Priest, be assisted by other Priests, and by Deacons and lay persons.

Other Priests present may be invited to concelebrate with the celebrant at the Altar.

A Deacon should read the Gospel and may lead The Prayers. Deacons should also serve at the altar, preparing and placing on it the offerings of bread and wine, and assisting in the ministration of the Sacrament to the people. In the absence of a Deacon, these duties may be performed by an assisting priest, or by a lay person licensed by the Bishop to undertake these duties.

Lay persons appointed by the celebrant should normally be assigned the reading of the Lessons which precede the Gospel. and may lead The Prayers.

Morning or Evening Prayer may be used in place of all that precedes the Greeting of Peace. A lesson from the Gospel should always be included.

When the service of a Priest cannot be obtained, the Bishop may, at his discretion, authorize a Deacon to distribute Holy Communion to the congregation from the reserved Sacrament in the following manner:

a. The Liturgy of the Word is said up to the confession, after which the following prayer is substituted for The Absolution:

Set us free, from the bondage of our sins, and give us the liberty of that abundant life which you have made known to us in your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever. Amen.

Then follows the Greeting of Peace (and the receiving of the people’s offering). The Deacon reverently places the consecrated Sacrament on the Altar, during which time a communion hymn may be swig.

b. The Lord’s Prayer is then said, the Deacon first saying, “As our Saviour has taught us. so we pray.”

c. And then, omitting the Breaking of the Bread, the Deacon proceeds with what follows in the liturgy as far as the end of the postcommunion prayer, and then dismisses the people.

It is desirable that the Lessons be read from a lectern, and that the Gospel be read from the same lectern or from the pulpit, or from the midst of the congregation. It is desirable that the Lessons and Gospel be read from a book or books of appropriate size and dignity.

It is the duty of every member of the church to be present at the Holy Eucharist every Sunday and on other Holy Days, according to opportunity.

It is the duty of every communicant member to receive Holy Communion frequently after due preparation. particularly on Sundays and on the Greater Holy Days, of which Easter is the chief.

Every parishioner shall contribute regularly of his substance to the maintenance of the worship of God, and the spread of the Gospel, according as God shall prosper him.

The Priest shall frequently warn the people of what is required of those who come to receive the Holy Communion, as set forth in the Catechism.

For the safeguarding of the Holy Mysteries and for the well-being of the Church, it is declared that it is the inherent right of the Bishop of a Diocese to repel offenders from Communion, far good and sufficient cause.

If a person be living in open and unrepented sin, the following procedure shall be observed: the Priest of the Cure in which the case occurs shall without delay give warning to such person, and, if he be unrepentant, shall report the whole matter to the Bishop, and thereafter proceed as the Bishop may direct, provided that the Priest in an unforeseen case, if satisfied of urgency, may refuse Communion to such person until he can bring the matter before the Bishop.

As this bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ, so may we and all your people become channels of your love; through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

 
THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER

The President shall indicate which form of the Eucharistic Prayer, including Proper Prefaces, shall be used.

PRESIDENT
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Father almighty, everlasting God:

The Proper Preface follows:

Advent
Because you sent your beloved Son to redeem us from sin and death, and to make us heirs in Him of eternal life; that when He shall come again in power and great triumph to judge the world, we may without shame or fear rejoice to behold His appearing.

Christmas
Because you gave Jesus Christ, your only Son, to be born for us; who, by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, was made perfect Man of the flesh of the Virgin Mary his mother; so that we might be delivered from the bondage of sin, and receive power to become your children.

Epiphany
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Because in coming to dwell among us as man, He revealed the radiance of His glory, and brought us out of darkness into His own marvellous light.

Lent
For you hid your faithful people cleanse their hearts, and prepare with joy for the Paschal feast; that, fervent in prayer and in works of mercy, and renewed by your Word and Sacraments, they may come to the fullness of grace which you have prepared for those who love you.

Holy Week
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. For our sins he was lifted high upon the cross, that He might draw the whole world to Himself; and, by His suffering and death, He became the source of eternal salvation for all who put their trust in Him.

Easter
But chiefly are we bound to praise you for the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; for He is the true Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us, and has taken away the sin of the world. By His death He has destroyed death, and by His rising to life again He has won for us eternal life.

Ascension
Through your dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord. After his glorious resurrection he openly appeared to his disciples, and in their sigh. ascended into heaven, to prepare a place for us; that where he is, there we might also be, and reign with him in glory.

Pentecost
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. In fulfillment of His true promise, the Holy Spirit came down (on this day) from heaven, lighting upon the disciples, to teach them and to lead them into all truth; uniting peoples of many tongues in the confession of one faith, and giving to your Church the power to serve you as a royal priesthood, and to preach the Gospel to all nations.

Trinity Sunday
For in the mystery of your Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you have revealed your glory; three Persons equal in majesty, undivided in splendour, yet one Lord, one God, ever to be worshipped and glorified.

Our Lady
For in your matchless wisdom you chose the Blessed Virgin Mary to be the mother of our Saviour Jesus Christ, your only begotten Son, who shares your eternal splendour; and in her, you have given your Church an example of selfless devotion to you in generous love.

Saints’ Day
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. For in the saints you have given us an example of godly living; that rejoicing in their fellowship, we may run with perseverance the race that is set before us, and with them receive the crown of glory.

Harvest Festival
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, the Word active in creation, who dwelling among us Himself rejoiced in the beauty of the earth; giving thanks to you for the fruits of harvest and the fishes of the sea; and through His own work hallowing all human service.

Commemoration of the Dead
Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who rose victorious from the dead, and comforts us with the blessed hope of life eternal. For to your faithful people, O Lord, life is changed, not ended; and when our mortal body lies in death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the heavens.

Christian Initiation
Because in Jesus Christ our Lord you have received us as your sons and daughters. made us citizens of your kingdom, and given us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth,

Marriage
Because wife and husband sharing together in your grace which gives life, hear witness through mutual love and commitment one to the other, to the bond of love between Christ and His Church.

Ordinations (and feasts of Apostles)
Through the great shepherd of your flock, Jesus Christ our Lord; who after His resurrection sent forth His apostles to preach the Gospel and to teach all nations: and promised to be with them always, even to the end of the ages.

Dedication Festival
For your blessings on this house of prayer, where we are stirred to faithful witness. and arc bui Lt by your Spirit into a temple made without hands, even the body of your Son, Jesus Christ.

The Lord’s Day
Because on this most glorious day. a triple light was given. On the first day of creation you brought light and life into being. On the first day, for our salvation, you raised your Son victorious over death; and on this day you gave your Holy and lifegiving Spirit to your church.

Common Preface

Of God the Father
For you are the source of light and life; you made us in your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Of God the Son
Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who on the first day of the week overcame death and the grave, and by His glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life.

Of God the Holy Spirit
For by water and the Holy Spirit you have made us a new people in Jesus Christ our Lord, to show forth your glory in all the world.

Therefore we praise you. joining our voices with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

ALL
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.

PRESIDENT
All Holy and glorious Father,
our Creator God,
we give you thanks
because in your loving wisdom
you brought all things into being,
and are truly worthy of praise
from every creature you have made.

Again and again
we have turned away from you;
yet in every age your steadfast love
has called us to return
to live in union with you:
for it is your eternal purpose
to put new life into all things
and make them holy.

Through your Son, Jesus Christ
who took our human nature upon Him
you have redeemed the world
from the bondage of sin:
and by the power of your Holy Spirit
you have gathered a people to yourself,
to make known in every place
His perfect offering which He made
to the glory of your Name.

Hear us, therefore, Father,
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord;
And grant that these gifts of bread and wine may be unto us His Body and Blood.

For, on the night He was betrayed
He took bread.
and when He had given thanks to you,
He broke it and gave it to His disciples
and said: “Take this, and eat it:
This is my Body which is given for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me,”

And after supper
He took the cup of wine:
and when He had given thanks,
He gave it to them 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.”

PRESIDENT
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith.

One of the following Acclamations shall be said:

ALL
Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.

or

Jesus is Lord.
He has reconciled us to Himself:
Christ makes all things new.

or

Christ is Lord.
Through His death
We were made children of God:
He is our hope of glory.

PRESIDENT
And so, Heavenly Father,
rejoicing in His Holy Incarnation:
His Blessed Passion and His Perfect Sacrifice
made once for all upon the Cross;
His Mighty Resurrection from the dead;
His Glorious Ascension into heaven;
and looking for His Coming in glory;
we offer to you this Bread and this Cup.

We pray that you will accept this sacrifice of
praise and thanksgiving;
and grant that all who eat and drink of the Body and Blood,
of your Son, our great High Priest,
may be renewed by your Holy Spirit,
and be one Body, one Spirit, in Him.

Let faith and love increase in us.
Unite us with all Bishops,
all other ministers of your Word and Sacraments,
and with the whole people of God,
living and departed.
whom you have made for yourself.

Confirm us in holiness,
that we may be found ready to join the company
of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Apostles,
and all your saints.
when our Lord Jesus Christ comes again:
Forever giving you thanks and praise
through Him from whom all good things do come.

With Him and in Him and through Him,
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
we worship you. Father Almighty,
with all who stand before you in earth and heaven,
in songs of everlasting praise:

ALL

Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours for ever and ever. Amen.

PRESIDENT
Holy and gracious Father,
all creation rightly gives you praise.
All life, all holiness, comes from you
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
whom you sent to share our human nature,
to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you,
the God and Father of all.

We therefore bring you these gifts,
and we ask you to make them holy by the power of your Spirit,
that they may become the Body and Blood of your Son,
our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who offered Himself in obedience to your will,
the Perfect Sacrifice for all mankind.

On the night He was betrayed,
He took bread,
and when He had given thanks to you,
He broke it and gave it to His disciples and said:
"Take this and eat it:
This is my Body which is given for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper He took the cup of wine:
and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them and said:
“Drink this, all of you:
This is my Blood of the New Covenant,
Which is shed for you and for many lot the forgiveness of sins.
Do this, whenever you drink it,
For the remembrance of me.”

One of the following Acclamation shall be said:

ALL
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim the death of Christ until He comes again.

or

Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.

or

Christ Jesus is Lord.
He has set us free from the law of sin and death:
In His name alone is our salvation.

PRESIDENT
Father, calling to mind the death your Son
endured for our salvation;
His glorious Resurrection and Ascension;
His continual intercession for us in heaven;
and looking for His coming again in glory,
we offer you, in thanksgiving,
this holy and life-giving sacrifice.

Look with favour on your Church’s offering,
and grant that we who eat and drink these holy gifts
may be filled with your Holy Spirit
and become one body in Christ.
and serve you in unity, constancy and peace.

May He make us a perpetual offering to you and enable us,
in communion with blessed Mary
and the whole company of heaven,
to share in the inheritance of your Saints.

With Him, and in Him, and through Him,
by the power of the Holy Spirit, we worship you,
Father Almighty, with all who stand before you
in earth and heaven in songs of everlasting praise:

ALL

Blessing and honour and glory and power
be yours for ever and ever. Amen.

PRESIDENT
We give thanks to you Lord our God,
for the goodness and love you have made known to us in creation;
in calling Israel to be your people;
in your Word spoken through the prophets:
and above all in the Word made flesh,
Jesus your Son.
For in these last days you sent Him
to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
to be the Saviour and Redeemer of the world.

In Him. you have delivered us from evil,
and made us worthy to stand before you.
In Him, you have brought us out of error into truth,
out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

For, on the night that he was betrayed
He took bread,
and when He had given thanks to you,
He broke it and gave it to His disciples
and said: “Take this, and eat it:
This is my Body which is given for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me.”

And after supper
He took the cup of wine:
and when He had given thanks,
He gave it to them 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.”

PRESIDENT
Therefore, Father, according to His command;

ALL
We remember His death
We proclaim His resurrection
we await His coming in glory.

PRESIDENT
And we offer our sacrifice of praise
and thanksgiving to you, Lord of all;
presenting to you, from your creation,
this bread and this wine.

We pray you, gracious God,
to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts
that they may be the sacrament of
the Body of Christ and His Blood of the New Covenant.
Unite us to your Son in His sacrifice
that we, made acceptable in Him,
may be sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

In the fullness of time,
reconcile all things in Christ,
and make them new.
and bring us to that city of light
where you dwell with all your sons and daughters;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
the firstborn of all creation,
the head of the Church,
and the author of our salvation:

By whom, and with whom, and in whom,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all honour and glory are yours,
Almighty Father, now and ever.

PEOPLE     Amen.

PRESIDENT
All glory, praise. and thanksgiving be unto you, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God, you created the world and all mankind, and of your tender mercy gave your only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon Him, and to suffer death upon the cross, for our redemption. He made there, by His own oblation of Himself once offered. a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world; and He instituted, and in His holy Gospel commanded us to continue, a perpetual memory of His precious death, until His coming again.

Hear us, O merciful Father, we most humbly beseech you; and he pleased to accept, bless and sanctify these gifts and creatures of bread and wine, that they may be for us the Body and Blood of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ,

For, on the night He was betrayed
He took bread, and when He had given thanks to you,
He broke it and gave it to His disciples and said:
“Take this, and eat it:
This is my Body which is given for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me”.

And after supper He took the cup of wine:
and when He had given thanks,
He gave it to them 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.”

PRESIDENT
In faith we acclaim You, O Christ

ALL:
Dying You destroyed our death;
Rising You restored our life;
Christ Jesus, come in glory.

Now therefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we your servants with all your holy people, having in remembrance the blessed
passion, mighty resurrection, and glorious ascension of your beloved Son, do offer unto your Divine Majesty this Bread of eternal life and this Cup of everlasting salvation, rendering thanks to you for the wonderful redemption which you have made possible for us in Him.

And we beseech you O Father, to accept upon your heavenly altar this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving: and to grant that by the merits and death of your Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in His blood, we and all your whole Church may obtain remission of our sins and all other benefits of His passion.

And we pray that by the power of your Holy Spirit all who shall be partakers of this holy Communion may be filled with your grace and heavenly benediction, and be numbered in the glorious company of your Saints.

And here we offer and present unto you O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy and lively sacrifice.

And although we are unworthy to offer unto you any sacrifice, yet we beseech you to accept this, our bounden duty and service, not weighing our merits hut pardoning our offenses;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord, by whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory be unto you, O Father Almighty, throughout all ages, world without end.
PEOPLE:     Amen.

PRESIDENT
Sovereign Lord and Father,
To you be glory and praise for ever.
In your boundless wisdom
you brought creation into being;
In your great love you fashioned
us in your image;
In your tender compassion
you sent your Son. Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
to share our human nature;
in the power of the Holy Spirit,
He overcame the power of sin and death
and brought your people to new birth
as first fruits of your new creation.

On the night that He was betrayed
He took bread,
and when He had given thanks to you.
He broke it and gave it to his disciples
and said: “Take this, and eat it:
This is my Body which is given For you.
Do this for the remembrance of me.”

And after supper
He took the cup of wine:
and when He had given thanks,
He gave it to them 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.”

our sacrifice of thanks and praise.
Send your Holy Spirit on these gifts of

and unending life, may your Holy Spirit

in your eternal inheritance;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
With Him and in Him and through Him,
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
we worship you, Father Almighty,
with all who stand before you
in earth and heaven,
in songs of everlasting praise:

be yours for ever and ever. Amen.

on earth as in heaven.
