And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this  bread and this wine.

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of  Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him,  being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to  that heavenly country where, with [_________ and] all your  saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and  daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all  creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our  salvation.

By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and  for ever. AMEN.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray,
