5 Sanctus The Institution Leader: The night before Jesus was arrested, he was eating with his disciples. Like always, he took some bread, thanked God, broke it. But on this last night with his friends he added some strange and wonderful words. This is my body, which is given for you. Eat this and remember me. When they finished eating, he took a cup and said, This cup makes you sons and daughters in my blood. Drink this and remember me. And so even today when we eat this bread and drink this cup we remember Jesus death until he comes again. We thank you God, for your Son Jesus Christ. His death freed us from sin. His resurrection gives us new life. His return will bring us to live in God s house forever. We proclaim the mystery of faith: Memorial Acclamation Prayer of Consecration Leader: We thank you God, for the Holy Spirit. May the Spirit make this bread and cup a holy meal of faith. May it nourish us and unite us with Jesus and each other. We, your people, pray as one: People: Our Father Leader: The bread which we break, is it not our sharing in the body of Christ? People: We who are many are one body, for we all share the same loaf. Preparation of the Elements Leader: The cup for which we give thanks, is it not our sharing in the blood of Christ? 5
6 People: The cup which we all share is our fellowship in the blood of Christ. Leader: Family of God, the love of Jesus gives us peace. Let us share this peace with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Peace The Invitation Leader: Family of God, Jesus Christ invites us to a feast. Anyone who loves the Lord is welcome. People: With hungry hearts we come to the feast. Leader: The table is set. The food is ready. Come to the Lord's Supper! The Dedication Invitation to the Table Communion Sending The Thanksgiving Leader: Lord, we thank you for this food. We could never repay you. The only way we can show our gratitude is to live our lives for you. People: Lord, we thank you for ears to hear, eyes to see, hearts to feel, and minds to understand. Now as we go out into your world, give us hands to work for good and feet to walk in your way. Benediction Leader: The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. 6
