Collect

O God, who have accomplished the work of

human redemption

through the Paschal Mystery of your Only Begotten Son,

graciously grant that we, who confidently proclaim,

under sacramental signs, the Death and Resurrection of Christ,

may experience continued increase of your saving grace.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Prayer over the Offerings

Celebrating the memorial of our salvation,

we humbly beseech your mercy,

O Lord, that this Sacrament of your loving kindness

may be for us the sign of unity

and the bond of charity.

Through Christ our Lord.

Whoever eats of this bread will live for ever,

Prayer after Communion

May sharing at the heavenly table sanctify us,

Lord, we pray,
