St Joseph's Chapel Fuengirola

The Priest alone recites:

You are indeed Holy, O Lord,

the fount of all holiness.

Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,

by sending down your Spirit upon 

them like the dewfall,

so that they may become for us

the Body and Blood 

of our Lord Jesus Christ.

At the time he was betrayed

and entered willingly into his Passion,

he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it,

and gave it to his disciples, saying:

Take this, all of you, and eat of it,

for this is my Body,

which will be given up for you.

In a similar way, when supper was ended,

he took the chalice

and, once more giving thanks,

he gave it to his disciples, saying:

Take this, all of you, and drink from it,

for this is the chalice of my Blood,

the Blood of the new 

and eternal covenant,

which will be poured out 

for you and for many

for the forgiveness of sins.

Do this in memory of me.

After the words of Consecration the priest says:

The mystery of faith.

The people continue, acclaiming:

Either:

We proclaim your Death, O Lord,

and profess your Resurrection

until you come again.

Or:

When we eat this Bread 

and drink this Cup,

we proclaim your Death, O Lord,

until you come again.

Or:

Save us, Saviour of the world,

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.

Remember, Lord, your Church,

spread throughout the world,

and bring her to the fullness of charity,

together with N. our Pope and N. our Bishop

and all the clergy.

– – – – – – – – – –

In Masses for the Dead, the following may be added:

Remember your servant N.,

whom you have called (today)

from this world to yourself.

Grant that he (she) who was united 

with your Son in a death like his,

may also be one with him 

in his Resurrection.

– – – – – – – – – –

Remember also our brothers and sisters

who have fallen asleep 

in the hope of the resurrection,

and all who have died in your mercy:

welcome them into the light of your face.

Have mercy on us all, we pray,

that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, 

Mother of God,

with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,

with the blessed Apostles,

and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,

we may merit to be co-heirs to eternal life,

and may praise and glorify you

through your Son, Jesus Christ.

At the conclusion of the Eucharistic Prayer the Priest takes the chalice and the paten with the host and, raising both, he alone says:

Through him, and with him, and in him,

O God, almighty Father,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

all glory and honour is yours,

for ever and ever.

Amen.

The Communion Rite

The Lord’s Prayer

The congregation stands and the Priest says:

At the Saviour’s command

and formed by divine teaching, 

we dare to say:

Together with the people, he continues:

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those 

who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

The Priest alone continues, saying:

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,

graciously grant peace in our days,

that, by the help of your mercy,

we may be always free from sin

and safe from all distress,

as we await the blessed hope

and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming:

For the kingdom,

the power and the glory are yours

now and for ever.

Then the Priest alone says aloud:

Lord Jesus Christ,

who said to your Apostles:

Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,

look not on our sins,

but on the faith of your Church,

and graciously grant her peace and unity

in accordance with your will.

Who live and reign for ever and ever.

The people reply:

Amen.

The Priest adds:

The peace of the Lord be with you always.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

The Deacon, or the Priest, adds:

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

And all offer one another the customary sign of peace:

Breaking of the Bread

During the breaking of the host the following is said:

Lamb of God, 

you take away the sins of the world,

  have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, 

you take away the sins of the world,

  have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, 

you take away the sins of the world,

  grant us peace.

After the Lamb of God, the people kneel.

Invitation to Communion

After his private prayers of preparation the Priest genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten or above the chalice says aloud:

Behold the Lamb of God,

behold him who takes away 

the sins of the world.

Blessed are those called 

to the supper of the Lamb.

And together with the people he adds once:

Lord, I am not worthy

that you should enter under my roof,

but only say the word 

and my soul shall be healed.

Communion

After the priest has reverently consumed the Body and Blood of Christ the communicants come forward in reverent procession, and make a preparatory act of reverence by bowing their head in honour of Christ’s presence in the Sacrament. They receive Holy Communion. The Priest says:

The Body of Christ.

The communicant replies:

Amen.

After the distribution of Communion, if appropriate, a sacred silence may be observed for a while, or a psalm or other canticle of praise or a hymn may be sung.

Prayer after Communion

Then, the Priest says:

Let us pray.

All stand and pray in silence. Then the Priest says the Prayer after Communion, at the end of which the people acclaim:

Amen.

The Concluding Rites

Any brief announcements to the people follow here. Then the dismissal takes place. Sometimes this takes a more elaborate form than that given below.

Blessing

The Lord be with you.

And with your spirit.

May almighty God bless you,

the Father, and the Son,  and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Dismissal

Then the Priest himself, says:

Either: Go forth, the Mass is ended.

Or: Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord.

Or: Go in peace, 

glorifying the Lord by your life.

Or: Go in peace.

The people reply:

Thanks be to God.
