Votive Mass

Entrance Antiphon (Ps 78 (77): 23-25)
The Lord opened the gates of heaven,
and rained down manna upon them to eat,
and gave them bread from heaven: man ate the bread of angels.

Collect
O God, who have accomplished the work of human redemption
through the Paschal Mystery of your Only Begotten Son,
graciously grant that we, who confidently proclaim,
under sacramental signs, the Death and Resurrection of Christ,
may experience continued increase of your saving grace.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

Prayers Over the Offerings
Celebrating the memorial of our salvation,
we humbly beseech your mercy, O Lord,
that this Sacrament of your loving kindness
may be for us the sign of unity and the bond of charity.
Through Christ our Lord.

Preface of the Most Holy Eucharist.

Communion Antiphon (Jn 6: 51-52)
I am the living bread,
that came down from heaven, says the Lord.
Whoever eats of this bread will live for ever,
and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.

Prayer after Communion
May sharing at the heavenly table
sanctify us, Lord, we pray,
so that through the Body and Blood of Christ
the whole family of believers may be bound together.
Through Christ our Lord.
