The Peace
Eucharistic Prayer A
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."
All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: 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 forever. AMEN.
And may add- Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you,
and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.
The Bread and the Cup are given to the communicants with these
words
Let us pray.
