    Eucharist Prayer

     The preface- The lord be with you. This is an introductory prayer and gives us
    reason for our Thanksgiving.
     The Sanctus- We fall on our knees in awe because we are in the presence of
    the Eucharist.
     Epclesis - invocation of God to send the Holy Spirit to change the bread and
    wine to the Body and Blood of Jesus.
     The consecration- When the bread and wine is changed to the Body and
    Blood of Jesus.
     The Transubstantiation- When the priest shows the congregation the
    transformed Bread and Wine.
    Memorial Acclamation- When the congregation proclaims the Mystery of Faith:
    Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again.
    Remembrance - We call to mind the death and resurrection of Jesus.
    Offering - We call on God to offer the sacrifice in union with all the sacrifices in
    the past.
    Intercessions - The priest intercedes with the father. We pray for those who have
    departed and we pray for us sinners.
    Final Doxology- The priest lifts the host and the chalice proclaiming the doxology,
    the words of praise linking the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    Signs of the Eucharist

    Laying of the hands - Laying of the hands is a sign because when someone
    extends one’s hand over another person's head, its the sign of calling down the Holy
    Spirit. All seven sacraments include this sign.
    Bread - Bread is a symbol of the Eucharist because it represents life. It is also a
    symbol because the breaking of the bread, was performed by Jesus so now we accept
    the bread as the body of Jesus.
    Wine - Wine is a symbol of Eucharist because just like the bread it was shared at
    the pass over meal between Jesus and his Disciples. The wine is given to us as the
    blood of Jesus, wine also symbolizes joy.
    White Garment - The white garment is used as a symbol of Eucharist because
    white is used as the Christian colour for baptism. White symbolizes purity and clean of
    sin.
    Fire/Light - Fire and/or light is a symbol of the holy Eucharist because, it
    represents God's purifying presence. Another reason it is used is because represents
    the light of Christ. As Christians we are commissioned to keep this light shining through
    our whole life.
    Oil - Oil is a symbol because it meant setting a person apart for a particular
    mission. So we as Christians are given a particular mission to be like Christ in the world
    today.

    Eucharist as Thanksgiving Worship


    Eucharist" means "Thanksgiving." In the holy Eucharist we receive the sacrament of our
    salvation accomplished by Jesus Christ on the cross. We also participate in His sacrifice
    of praise of the Father, in thanksgiving for the work of creation. In the eucharistic
    sacrifice, the whole of creation, loved by God, is presented to the Father through the
    death and resurrection of Christ. Through Christ, the Church is able to offer this sacrifice
    of praise in thanksgiving for what God has made good and beautiful both in humanity
    and in all of creation. As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, it is important to
    remember that as Catholics, giving thanks is not just an occasional practice, but the
    foundation of who we are. The Eucharist, which you will recall means "thanksgiving," is
    at the heart of our shared life. At our best, we are a grateful people. As we pray at each
    Mass.
