Eucharistic Prayer III

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER III
The priest, with hands extended, says:
Priest: You are indeed holy, O Lord,

and all you have created
rightly gives you praise,
for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,
by the power and working of the Holy Spirit,
you give life to all things and make them holy,
and you never cease to gather a people to yourself,
so that from the rising of the sun to its setting
a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.
He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:
Priest with Concelebrants:

Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you:
by the same spirit graciously make holy
these gifts we have brought to you for consecration,
He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the cross once over the bread and chalice together, saying:
that they may become the Body and Blood

of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,
he joins his hands.
at whose command we celebrate these mysteries.

In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, as the nature of these words
requires.
For on the night he was betrayed

He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:
he himself took bread,

and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,

FOR THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in adoration.
After this, he continues:
In a similar way, when supper was ended,

He takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:
He took the chalice,

and, giving you thanks, he said the blessing,
and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration.
Then he says:
Priest: The mystery of faith.

People: We proclaim your death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection,
until you come again.
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:
Priest with Concelebrants:

Therefore, O Lord, as we celebrate the memorial
of the saving Passion of your Son,
his wondrous Resurrection
and ascension into heaven,
and as we look forward to his second coming,
we offer you in thanksgiving
this holy and living sacrifice.
Look, we pray, upon the oblation of your Church
and, recognizing the sacrificial Victim by whose death
you willed to reconcile us to yourself,
grant that we, who are nourished
by the Body and Blood of your Son
and filled with his Holy Spirit,
may become one body, one spirit in Christ.
Concelebrant 1: Mayhe make of us
an eternal offering to you,
so that we may obtain an inheritance with your elect,
especially with the most Blessed Virgin Mary,
mother of God,
with blessed Joseph, her spouse,
with your blessed apostles and glorious martyrs
(with Saint N.: the Saint of the day or Patron Saint)
and with all the saints,
on whose constant intercession in your presence
we rely for unfailing help.
Concelebrant 2:May this sacrifice of our reconciliation,
we pray, O Lord,
advance the peace and salvation of all the world.
Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity
your pilgrim Church on earth,
with your servant Francis our Pope
and Bartolome our Bishop
the order of Bishops, all the clergy,
and the entire people you have gained for your own.
Listen graciously to the prayers of this family,
whom you have summoned before you:
in your compassion, O merciful Father,
gather to yourself all your children
scattered throughout the world.
Concelebrant 3:Toour departed brothers and sisters, too,
and to all who were pleasing to you
at their passing from this life,
give kind admittance to your kingdom.
There we hope to enjoy for ever
the fullness of your glory,
when you will wipe away every tear from our eyes.
For seeing you, our God, as you are,
we shall be like you for all the ages
and praise you without end,
He joins his hands.
through Christ our Lord,

through whom you bestow on the world all that is good.
He takes the chalice and the paten with the host and, raising both, he says:
Through him, and with him, and in him,

O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours,
for ever and ever.
People: Amen.
