LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST |
Preparation of the Altar and the Gifts
Procession with the Gifts and Taking of the Gifts
At the beginning of the liturgy of the Eucharist, the gifts which will
become the Lord’s body and blood are brought to the altar. The offerings of the
people may also be brought to the altar. During the procession of the gifts, an
offertory song may be sung. The gifts are received by the celebrant standing at
a suitable place. Gifts other than brad and wine are not placed on the altar.
If no song is sung, then the people may make the responses to the prayer
of offering given here.
Priest: Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through
your goodness we have this bread to offer, which earth has given and human
hands have made. It will become for us the bread of life.
People: Blessed be God for ever.
Priest: (quietly) By the mystery of
this water and wine may we come to share in the divinity of Christ, who humbled
himself to share in our humanity.
Blessed are you, Lord, God
of all creation. Through your goodness we have this wine to offer, fruit of the
vine and work of human hands. It will become our spiritual drink.
People: Blessed be God for ever.
Priest: (quietly) Lord God, we ask you to receive us and be
pleased with the sacrifice we offer you with humble and contrite hearts.
The celebrant washes his hands, saying:
Priest: Lord,
wash away my iniquity; cleanse me from my sin.
