CEL: Lord, Our God, as You taught us / we offer You the Body
and Blood of Your Anointed One / on this pure and holy altar.
May we invoke in this memorial celebration / the sacred memory
of Mary, the Virgin Mother of God / and of the just and holy Fa-
thers who found favor in Your presence / through Your infinite
mercy.
Grant us Your peace and tranquility / all the days of our lives.
Let all the people on earth know that / You alone are the true
God, the Father / and that You sent Your beloved Son Jesus
Christ.
May all the people know that / Christ, our Lord and God / in
His life giving Gospel / came and taught us the way of purity /
and sanctity of the prophets and apostles / martyrs and confes-
sors / doctors and bishops / priests and deacons / and all the chil-
dren of the holy Catholic Church / who have been signed with the
living and life-giving seal of baptism. (+ Celebrant marks the
altar with the sign of the cross).
Lord, we Your humble, weak, and distressed servants / having
received Your example from generation to generation / have
come together in Your name / and stand in Your holy presence /
rejoicing and glorifying. We commemorate and celebrate these /
great, awesome / holy, life-giving / and divine mystery of the
passion, death, burial / and resurrection of our Lord and savior
Jesus Christ.
