Liturgy of the Eucharist

Preparation of the Altar, Invitation to Prayer, Preface Dialogue, Sanctus, & Memorial Acclamation

During the Preparation of the Altar… We present ourselves spiritually

to God with the gifts

We remain seated to prepare to receive Jesus

All that is placed on the Altar, physically and spiritually, by the People is dedicated to God and blessed

Our lives are consecrated and we become one with the Body of Christ

We stand just before we address Christ in the

INVITATION TO PRAYER

“May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your handsfor the praise and glory of his name,for our good and the good of all his holy Church”

Pray, brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.

Practicing The Preface Dialogue

Holy, Holy, Holy Previously, we said: “Holy, Holy, Holy, God of power and might”

This only pointed to God’s earthly power

“HOSTS” points to God’s universal power and the

Glory of heaven

“The Mystery of Faith”

Christ has died, Christ is risen,

Christ will come againwill no longer be used

Acclamations should: be addressed to Jesus praise truth affirm our faith in the saving

act of Christ

Not truly a form of “acclamation”

This has been said only in the U.S.

Practicing The Holy,

Holy, Holy &The Mystery

of Faith Our profession makes us a

part of this Mystery of Faith from 2000 years ago

until today
