HOMILY（讲道）

 

PROFESSION OF FAITH（信经）

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is，seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: (bow) by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

PREFACE（颂谢词）

Father, it is our duty and our salvation,

always and everywhere

to give you thanks

through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

 

He is the Word through whom you made the universe,

the Savior you sent to redeem us.

By the power of the Holy Spirit

he took flesh and was born of the Virgin Mary.

 

For our sake he opened his arms on the cross;

he put an end to death

and revealed the resurrection.

In this he fulfilled your will

and won for you a holy people.

 

And so we join the angels and saints

in proclaiming your glory

as we say:

(欢呼歌)All: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,

heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

Presider：

Lord, you are holy indeed, the fountain of all holiness.

Let your Spirit come upon these gifts to make them holy,

so that they may become for us

the body ┿ and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ

 

THE LORD’S SUPPER（主的晚餐）

Before he was given up to death,

a death he freely accepted,

he took bread and gave you thanks.

He broke the bread,

gave it to his disciples, and said:

 

Take this, all of you, and eat it:

this is my body which will be given up for you.

 

When supper was ended, he took the cup.

Again he gave you thanks and praise,

gave the cup to his disciples, and said:

 

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

this is the cup of my blood,

the blood of the new and everlasting covenant.

It will be shed for you and for all

so that sins may be forgiven.

Do this in memory of me.

 

MEMORIAL ACCLAMATION（祝圣后的欢呼）

Presider : Let us proclaim the mystery of faith:

All: (a) Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

(b) Dying you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life.

Lord Jesus, come in glory.

(c)When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, Lord Jesus,

until you come in glory.

(d) Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free.

You are the Savior of the world.

 

THE MEMORIAL PRAYER（纪念与奉献）

In memory of his death and resurrection,

we offer you, Father, this life-giving bread,

this saving cup.

Who have gone to their rest in the hope of rising again;

bring them and all the departed

into the light of your presence.

IN COMMUNION WITH THE SAINTS（与诸圣共融）

Have mercy on us all;

make us worthy to share eternal life with Mary,
