Prayer

We proclaim your death, Lord
We sing to you, O Christ, for your glorious resurrection.
We have been judged worthy to approach this mystical ineffable banquet.

Let us share joyfully,
in the spiritual gifts here before us;
let us sing with the angels
the canticle of victory.

The Lord, who abides in the Father's bosom,
is on the cross as well, today;
of his own will,
he chose to be buried like a mortal man;
but on the third day, he rose again
and gave us the gift of his great mercy.
