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.

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. Celebrant and Concelebrants All concelebrants, with,hands outstretched over the offerings, say: Invocation of the Holy Spirit Father, may this Holy Spirit sanctify these offerings. Let them become the body and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord They join their hands. as we celebrate the great mystery which he left us as an everlasting covenant. 28 The Lord's Supper 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 : Each extends his right hand towards the bread, if this seems opportune. Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you. At the elevation they look at the host and afterwards bow low. Then all continue: In the same way, he took the cup, filled with wine. He gave you thanks, and giving the cup to his disciples, said : Each extends his right hand towards the chalice, if this seems opportune.
