(Lk 2:24; Mk 10:45; Jn 6:51; Gal 1:4) In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and, once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying: Consecration of the Wine TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT.

Save us, Savior of the world, (Jn 4:42) for by your Cross and Resurrection you have set us free. Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his Death and Resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you. Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you: by the same Spirit graciously make holy these gifts we have brought to you for consecration, that they may become the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command we celebrate these mysteries.

Save us, Savior of the world, (Jn 4:42) for by your Cross and Resurrection you have set us free. 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. (Rom 12:1) Intercessions 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. (1 Cor 10:17) May he 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 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.
