Welcome to Sunday Holy Eucharist for you at home from the Anglican a prayer book for Australia.

 

Preparing for this Eucharist:

During this service you can minister Eucharist to yourself and your gathered family members.

Place on your table if you have them, a Bible, a small glass of red wine or grape juice, pieces of bread or wafers, one piece for each participant, a lighted candle and a cross. Gather all who are to partake in the Eucharist around the table.

 

The majority of the words of this eucharist are available from page 119 in the Anglican a prayer book for Australia or use the episode link to view the words.

 

We gather together to celebrate God.

The Good News

We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ:

GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA

With faithfulness we respond to the good news:

We acknowledge Christ as our saviour and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more.

Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed be God forever.

Let us Pray.

 

The greeting

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

And also with you.

 

The prayer of preparation.

Let us pray.

Almighty God,

To whom all hearts are open,

All desires known,

And from whom no secrets are hidden,

cleanse the thoughts of our hearts

by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit

that we may perfectly love you,

and worthily magnify your holy name,

through Christ our Lord.  Amen

 

Hear O Israel, the Lord our God the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as yourself.’
