On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

The Lord be with you. People:
And also with you. Priest:
Lift up your hearts. People:
We lift them up to the Lord. Priest:
Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God. People: It is right
to give him thanks and praise. Father, it is our duty
and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks through
your beloved Son, Jesus Christ. He is the Word through
whom you made the universe, the Savior you sent to redeem us. By the power of the Holy
Spirit he took flesh and was born of the Virgin Mary. For our sake he opened
his arms on the cross; he put an end to death and revealed the resurrection.
In this he fulfilled your
will and won for you a holy people. And so we join the angels
and the saints in proclaiming your glory as we say: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory: Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Lord, you are holy indeed, the fountain of all holiness. Let your Spirit come upon these gifts to make them holy, so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Before he was given up to death, a death he freely accepted, he took bread and gave you thanks. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which
will be given up for you. When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave
you thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.
Memorial Acclamation Priest: Let
us proclaim the mystery of faith. People: Christ has died,
Christ is risen, Christ will come again. OR Dying
you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life.
When we eat this
bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, Lord,
by your cross and resurrection you have set us free. You are the Savior of the world. OR Priest: In memory of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Father, this life-giving bread, this saving cup. We thank you for counting us worthy to stand in your presence and serve
you. May all of us who share in the body and blood of Christ be brought together
in unity by the Holy Spirit. Lord, remember your Church throughout the world; make us grow in love, together with N. our Pope, N. our bishop, and all
the clergy. Remember our brothers and sisters who have gone to their rest in the hope
of rising again; bring them and all the departed into the light of your presence. Have mercy on us all; make us worthy to share eternal life with Mary, the virgin Mother of God,
with the apostles, and with all the saints who have done your will throughout
the ages. May we praise you in union with them, and give you glory through your Son, Jesus Christ. Concluding Doxology Through him, with him in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory
and honor is yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever . People:
Amen. Priest: Father, you are holy indeed, and all creation rightly gives you praise.
All life, all holiness comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ
our Lord, by the working of the Holy Spirit. From age to age you gather a people to yourself, so that from east to west a perfect offering may be made to the glory
of your name.
And so, Father, we bring you these gifts. We ask you to make them holy by the power of your Spirit, that they may become the body and blood of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
at whose command we celebrate this eucharist. On the night he was betrayed, He took bread and gave you thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you. When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave you thanks and praise,
gave the cup to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It shall be shed for you and for all men so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me. Memorial Acclamation Priest: Let
us proclaim the mystery of faith. Dying
you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life. When
we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, Lord,
by your cross and resurrection you have set us free. Priest: Father, calling to mind the death your Son endured for our salvation,
his glorious resurrection and ascension into heaven, and ready to greet him when he comes again, we offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice. Look with favor on your Church’s offering, and see the Victim whose death has reconciled us to yourself. Grant that we, who are nourished by his body and blood, may be filled with his Holy Spirit, and become one body, one spirit in Christ.
May he make us an everlasting gift to you and enable us to share in the
inheritance of your saints, with Mary, the virgin Mother of God; with
the apostles, the martyrs, (Saint N. – the saint of the day or the patron
saint) and all your saints, on whose constant intercession we rely for
help.
Lord, may this sacrifice, which has made our peace with you, advance the peace and salvation of all the world. Strengthen in faith and love your pilgrim Church on earth; your servant, Pope N., our bishop N., and all the bishops, with the clergy and the entire people your Son has gained for you. Father, hear the prayers of the family you have gathered here before you.
In mercy and love unite all your children wherever they may be. Welcome
into your kingdom our departed brothers and sisters, and all who have left this world in your friendship.
We hope to enjoy forever the vision of your glory, through Christ our Lord, from whom all good things come.
Concluding Doxology Priest:
Through him, with him in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever. People:
Amen. Priest:
The Lord be with you. People:
And also with you. Priest:
Lift up your hearts. People:
We lift them up to the Lord. Priest:
Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God. People: It
is right to give him thanks and praise. Father in heaven, it is right that we should give you thanks and glory:
you are the one God, living and true. Through all eternity you live in unapproachable light. Source of life and goodness, you have created all things, to fill your creatures with every blessing and lead all men to the joyful vision of your light. Countless hosts of angels stand before you to do your will; they look upon your splendor and praise you, night and day. United with them, and in the name of every creature under heaven, we too
praise your glory as we say: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory: Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Father, we acknowledge your greatness: all your actions show your wisdom and love. You formed man in your own likeness and set him over the whole world to serve you, his creator, and to rule over all creatures. Even when he disobeyed you and lost your friendship you did not abandon him to the power of death, but helped all men to seek and find you. Again and again you offered a covenant to man, and through the prophets taught him to hope for salvation. Father, you so loved the world that in the fullness of time you sent your only Son to be our Savior. He was conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary, a man like us in all things but sin. To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation, to prisoners, freedom, and to those in sorrow, joy. In fulfillment of your will he gave himself up to death; but by rising from the dead, he destroyed death and restored life. And that we might live no longer for ourselves but for him, he sent the Holy Spirit from you, Father, as his first gift to those who believe, to complete his work on earth and bring us the fullness of grace. Father, may this Holy Spirit sanctify these offerings. Let them become the body and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord as we celebrate the great mystery which he left us as an everlasting covenant. He always loved those who were his own in the world. When the time came for him to be glorified by you, his heavenly Father, he showed the depth of his love. While they were at supper, he took bread, said the blessing, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you. In the same way,
he took the cup, filled with wine. He gave you thanks,
and giving the cup to his disciples, said: Take this all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all men so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me. Memorial Acclamation Priest: Let
us proclaim the mystery of faith. People: Christ has
died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. OR Dying you destroyed our death,
rising you restored our life. Lord
Jesus, come in glory. OR When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim
your death, Lord, by your cross and resurrection
you have set us free. Priest: Father, we now celebrate this memorial of our redemption. We recall Christ’s death, his descent among the dead, his resurrection, and his ascension to your right hand; and, looking forward to his coming in glory, we offer you his body and blood, the acceptable sacrifice which brings salvation to the whole world. Lord, look upon this sacrifice which you have given to your Church; and
by your Holy Spirit, gather all who share this bread and wine into the
one body of Christ, a living sacrifice of praise. Lord, remember those for whom we offer this sacrifice especially N. our Pope, N. our bishop, and bishops and clergy everywhere. Remember those who take part in this offering; those here present and all your people, and all who seek you with a sincere heart. Remember those who have died in the peace of Christ and all the dead whose faith is known to you alone. Father, in your mercy grant also to us, your children, to enter into our heavenly inheritance in the company of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, and your apostles and saints. Then, in your kingdom, freed from the corruption of sin and death, we
shall sing your glory with every creature through Christ our Lord, through whom you give us everything that is good.

Let us pray with confidence to the Father in the words our Savior
gave us. People: Our Father
in heaven, holy be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive
us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Do not bring us
to the test but deliver us from evil. Priest:
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil and grant us peace in our day.
In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety
as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus
Christ. People:
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever. Sign of Peace Priest:
Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles: I leave you peace,
my peace I give you. Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your
Church, and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom, where you
live for ever and ever. People:
