RITE OF COMMUNION
(Please stand)
Fr Cabraja: At the Saviours command and formed by divine teaching, we dare
to say:
All:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy
Kingdom come; thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil.
Fr Cabraja: Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace
in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free
from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and
the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
All:
For the Kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and
forever.
Fr Cabraja: Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your Apostles: Peace I leave you,
my peace I give you, look not on our sins, but on the faith of your
Church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance
with your will. Who live and reign for ever and ever.
All:
Amen.
Fr Cabraja: The peace of the Lord be with you always.
All:
And with your spirit.
Fr Cabraja: Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
All:
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
grant us peace.
(Please kneel)
Fr Cabraja: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who, by the will of the
Father and the work of the holy Spirit, through your Death gave life
to the world, free me by this, your most holy Body and Blood, from
all my sins and from every evil; keep me always faithful to your
commandments, and never let me be parted from you.
All:
Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
