my blood of the new covenant / which is shed for many / for
the forgiveness of sins. Take this all of you and drink from it"

CEL: “Whenever You gather together in my name, do this in
memory of me”.

CEL: (Continues the third G’hantha). Lord, as You have com-
manded us / we Your humble, weak, and distressed servants / are
gathered together in Your presence. You have showered upon us
such great blessings / for which we can never thank You enough.
To make us share in your divine life / You assumed our human
nature / restored us from our fallen state / and brought us from
death to life eternal. Forgiving our debts / You sanctified us sin-
ners / enlightened our minds / defeated our enemies / and glori-
fied our frail nature by Your immense grace.

CEL: We give You glory and honor / thanksgiving and adora-
tion / for all Your favors and graces / You have granted us.

lic Church / and for the rulers, and all those who are in authority /
