 '''5. Of the Holy Eucharist'''

God our Father, whose Son our Lord Jesus Christ in a wonderful Sacrament hath left unto us a memorial of his  passion: Grant us so to venerate the sacred mysteries of his  Body and Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves  the fruit of his redemption; who liveth and reigneth with  thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Preface of the Epiphany

6. Of the Holy Cross

Almighty God, whose beloved Son willingly endured the agony and shame of the cross for our redemption: Give us  courage, we beseech thee, to take up our cross and follow  him; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit,  one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Preface of Holy Week

7. For All Baptized Christians

Grant, O Lord God, to all who have been baptized into the death and resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ, that, as we  have put away the old life of sin, so we may be renewed in  the spirit of our minds, and live in righteousness and true  holiness; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth  and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one  God, now and for ever. Amen.
