fered and was crucified / in the days of Pontius Pilate / died and
was buried; and on the third day rose again / as it is written. He
ascended into heaven / and sits at the right hand of his Father. He
will come again / to judge the dead and the living. We believe in
one Holy Spirit; the spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father
and the Son / the life giving Spirit. We believe in one, holy,
catholic, and apostolic Church. We confess one baptism for the
remission of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlast-
ing. Amen.

CEL: (Towards the server) May God, the Lord of all, strengthen
you + to sing His praises.

SER: (Facing the Congregation) Let us pray; peace be with us.
Let us pray for the memory of our fathers / the patriarchs and the
bishops / and for all priests, deacons / young men and virgins /
our parents, brothers and sisters / sons and daughters. Let us re-
member all the rulers who love Christ / and are faithful to Him /
and all who have departed from this world in true faith. Through
the grace of Christ / may this sacrifice obtain for us help / salva-
tion and life everlasting / in the Kingdom of heaven.

CEL: I give You thanks, O God / Lord of heaven and
earth / the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though I
am a sinner / in Your mercy You have made me worthy to
offer You / the glorious, life-giving and divine mysteries of
the Body and Blood of Your Anointed One. I celebrate
these divine mysteries for the people, Your flock / for the
remission of their debts, the forgiveness of their sins, the
salvation of their souls, the reconciliation of the whole
world, and for peace and tranquility of all the Churches.

(The celebrant approaches the altar. He bows down and
reverently kisses the altar in the middle, on the right side
and on the left side. Coming back to the middle of the altar
he says:)
