Lord! Free our minds from every impurity, evil-doing /
jealousy, deceit, and hatred. Instill in us, through Your
mercy, / love and unity among ourselves / and with all the
other people. Grant us the confidence to celebrate with
hope / this sacred and life giving holy sacrifice.

(Recites the Second G'hantha with closed palms
and bowed head).

CEL: Lord of all, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! The
adorable name of your most Blessed Trinity / is worthy of honor
from every mouth / thanksgiving from every tongue / and praise
from every creature. For, in Your great kindness / You created
the world and everything in it / and showed humanity Your im-
mense mercy. Multitudes of heavenly hosts / and thousands upon
thousands of holy angels / and hosts of spiritual ministers of fire
and spirit / bow down and adore You, O Most High! And they
glorify Your name / and offer You worship / together with the
holy Cherubim and Seraphim.

(The celebrant kisses the altar. He prays with extended
hands).

CEL: Praising You with a loud voice unceasingly, They pro-
claim in one voice:

ALL: Holy, holy, holy Lord, the mighty God. Heaven and earth
are filled with Your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna to
the Son of David; blessed is he / who came and is to come / in the
name of the Lord. Hosanna in the Highest.
