(The celebrant introduces the Mass and greets the community)

(Invocation)

Priest: Fullness there, fullness here, from fullness fullness proceeds. Once fullness has proceeded from fullness, fullness remains.

Priest: As our body is made clean by this water, may our soul be made spotless by your grace.

(The celebrant invites all to review their life. Then all pray:)

All:

(The celebrant, holding the right hand up, facing the people, pronounces the following formula of absolution:)

Priest: May the God of peace who brought from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, cleanse you from all your wrong doings and strengthen you with everything good, that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ to whom be glory for ever and ever. R: Amen.

(All exchange a sign of the peace.)

(The lighting of the lamp: Celebrant lights the big lamp with the arati lamp.)

All

Priest: Eternal light, shining beyond the heaven's radiant sun, illuminating all regions, above, below and across, true light enlightening every one coming into the world, dispel the darkness of our hearts and enlighten us with the splendor of your glory.

All: Your word is a lamp for our steps a light on our path.

(The celebrant touches the flame with the tips of his fingers and then brings his fingers to his eyes. All turn to the light and perform the same gesture.)

(During the readings, the people remain with open hands and the palms turned up wards resting on their knees.)

(The celebrant blesses the scripture readers with the following blessing:)

Priest: May he who quickens the intellect and kindles the heart strengthen you with his power to proclaim the saving word.

(The Bible is read. Followed by a short silent meditation.)

(The celebrant or bishop blesses the gospeller saying:)

Priest: May the Lord be in (your/my) heart and on (your/my) lips that through my heart the love of God may shine forth and through my lips his spiritual power be manifest.

(The Gospel is read)

(Homily if any)

(Silent reflection)

(The celebrant making an offering with light and incense over the offerings, continues:)

Priest: To whom with you and the Holy Spirit be honor and glory now and forever. Amen.

Priest: May your Holy Spirit, O God, enlighten our minds and open our lips, that we may sing the WONDERS of your love!

All: Help us, Spirit Divine, to proclaim God's mercy!

Priest: Let us praise and thank the Lord, our God, whose majesty pervades the universe

All: Great is his name and worthy of praise!

Priest: Let us celebrate the glory of the Lord whose splendor shines in the depths of our hearts.

All: Glory to him in whom we have our being!

Priest: O supreme Lord of the Universe, You fill and sustain everything around us. You are the Ancient of Days who turned, with the touch of your hand, chaos into order, darkness into light. Deep and wonderful, the mysteries of your creation. You formed us in your own image, entrusted the earth to our care, and called us to share in your own being, your own knowledge, your own bliss.

All: Praise to the one who is Being, knowledge, bliss! Praise to the eternal reality! Praise to the fullness of all perfections!

Priest: Father most kind and merciful, you want all to reach the shores of salvation. You reveal yourself to all who search for you with a sincere heart. You are the Power almighty adored in Presence hidden in nature, the Light that shines bright in the hearts of all who seek you, through knowledge and love, sacrifice and detachment. You chose for yourself a people and made with them a lasting covenant. Despite their infidelity, you were true to your promise, and taught them to long for the day of the Savior, the day of peace and salvation for all.

All: Praise to the expectation of the Nations! Praise to the promised one of Israel! Praise to him who comes in the name of the Lord!

Priest: O God invisible, at the favorable time you were pleased to become visible to us. Your Word, your only begotten Son, took on our human condition and was born of the Virgin Mary. As Supreme Teacher and Master, he imparted the words of eternal life to the poor and humble of heart. He went about doing good. When his hour had come, of his own accord he laid down his life as a sacrifice for our sin. Raised from the dead by you, Father, he became for us the source of life, and sent the Holy Spirit to fill the world with joy and peace. Now we pray you, Father, send this same Spirit to fill these gifts of bread and wine with his divine power, and to make present among us the great mystery of our salvation.

All: Come, O Spirit Supreme. Come, O Spirit all-holy. Come, O Spirit who fill the universe.

Priest: Lord, answer me! Lord, answer me! Lord, answer me!

Epiclesis -- [This section does not appear in the original]

[Priest: May the Holy spirit descend upon this bread and make it the life giving body, saving body, the body of our God Lord Jesus Christ. May this wine in this chalice be transformed into the blood of our Lord and God, Jesus Christ (a very ancient epiclesis). 

or 

Priest: And we pray that you send your Holy Spirit upon the offering of your holy mysteries so that they may be filled with the Holy Spirit, unto the strengthening of the faith in truth (ancient Latin and Coptic epiclesis).

or

Priest: We implore you, the merciful God to send forth your Holy spirit upon this offering, to make the bread the body of Christ, and the wine the blood of Christ. For whatever the Holy Spirit touches is hallowed and changed (epiclesis of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, c. 385 A.D.)].

Words of Institution [This section does not appear in the original]

[Priest: And now we remember Jesus and what He did, Who, in the night in which He was betrayed, took bread into His holy and innocent hands, and with His eyes lifted up towards heaven, He gave thanks to You, Almighty God, our Father, and He blessed It.

He broke It, and gave It to His disciples saying: "All of you, take and eat of this for

which was broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

(The Host is elevated)

Priest: In like manner, after He had supped, He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He blessed it, and He gave It to His disciples saying: All of you, drink of this, for

Of the New and Everlasting Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins. Do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me.

(The chalice is elevated)

All: We announce your death and proclaim your resurrection, Lord Jesus; gather all your people into your kingdom when you come in glory.

Priest: Merciful Father, bring together all your people together through the Holy Spirit in one mystical body of Jesus Christ. Help us live in fellowship. Let us remember and bless the names of the patriarchs of all the historic sees, our own matriarch, Archbishop Richard, and all the bishops, priests, deacons, and all other ministers that their ministries will always be inspired by the Christ within. Also, bless all our brethren who are not present at this Eucharist.

Bless all the efforts of all those who labor to build a world, where the poor and hungry will have their fill, where all peoples will live in harmony, where justice and peace, unity and love will reign. Grant to all the departed a share in your bliss. Welcome them in your Kingdom, where, Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, the Apostles and Martyrs, the Saints of all lands and ages, unceasingly pray for us and help us share in the riches of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Loving Father, send down your Spirit, the fullness of your bliss, fill with Joy and peace all of us who share in the Body and Blood of Christ, that we may be one in him, and manifest our unity in loving service. May he be the pledge of our resurrection and lead us in hope to the shore of eternal life with all the Just in the Kingdom of Heaven.

In the oneness of the Supreme Spirit, through Christ who unites all things in his fullness, we and the whole creation give to you, God of all, Father of all, honor and glory, thanks and praise, worship and adoration, now and in every age, for ever and ever.

All: Amen. You are the fullness of Reality, one without a second, Being, Knowledge, Bliss.

(The celebrant says a few words of introduction to the communion rite. Then this prayer:)

Priest: This is the Bread that came down from Heaven; whoever eats this Bread will never die. This is the cup of immortal nectar; whoever drinks of this cup will live forever. For the Lord says, "He will have eternal Life, and I will raise him up on the last day." Do you believe this?

All: Yes, Lord, we believe, for you have the words of eternal Life.

(Then the celebrant invites the people to recite or sing the 'Lord's Prayer. ' All recite with folded hands)

(The celebrant breaks the bread for communion saying)

Priest: The cup of blessing which we bless is the communion with the blood of Christ. The bread which we break is the communion with the body of Christ.

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

(Then the celebrant invites the congregation to partake of the sacred meal, saying)

My feast is ready, says the Lord; brothers and sisters, let us Joyfully share in his banquet.

(After all have received communion, a short pause is observed, followed by chanting [optional].)

This leads to complete silence.

Prayer.

(The celebrant addresses a few parting words, inspiring the community with a sense of mission. Then he imparts the solemn blessing, saying)

Priest: May God, beyond all name and form, share with you his glory beyond measure, and make you enter into the mystery of his presence.

All: Amen.

Priest: May God who became manifest in Jesus Christ enlighten your minds, strengthen your wills and fill your hearts with love.

All: Amen.

Priest: May God, the indweller in the cave of your hearts, animate you with his life.

All: Amen.

Priest: And may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

All: Amen.
