Prayer of Consecration for communion,abbrvd.

[revkhbostic]

Some years ago,there was a reprint of an old Book of Common Prayer./Church of England/

 

ISBN 0-8050-2284-8  Library of Congress Catalog Number:92-53129  /1st American Ed 1992Printed by Tien Wah Press  in Singapore,367pgs/

 

Its supposed to be a copy of a old 15th or 16th century edition.

 

Personally,I found the Episcopal 1979 version of the book of common prayer to be more lengthy,

 

So I then would go to this book for the High services,using the communion portion of this book,like anyone could...

 

   Prayer of consecration before handing out communion:

 

Almighty God,our Heavenly Father,who of thy tender mercy,

 

didst give thine only begotten Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption;

 

who made there by his one oblation of himself once offerred /a full ,perfect,& sufficient sacrifice ,oblation ,& satisfaction,

for the sins of the whole world;& did institute & in his holy gospel,command us to continue,

a perpetual memory of that his precious death,until his coming again;

 

Hear us O  merciful Father,we most humbly beseach thee;& grant that we receiving these thy creatures of bread & wine ,

 

According to thy Son our Savior Jesus Christs holy institution,in remembrance of his death & passion,may be partakers of his most blessed Body & Blood:

Who,in the same night that he was betrayed ,took Bread;& when he had given thanks ,he broke it

,& gave it to his disciples saying Take,eat,this is my body which is given for you

Do this in remembrance of me;

Likewise,after supper he took the cup,& when he had given thanks ,he gave it to them,saying

,Drink ye all of this;for this is my blood of the new Testament,which is shed for you& for many for the remission of sins:

Do this ,as oft as ye shall drink it ,in remembrance of me.   Amen

 

The body of our Lord Jesus Christ ,which was given for thee,preserve thy body & soul unto everlasting life.

 

Take & eat this in remembrance that Christ died for thee,& feed on him in thy heart by faith with thanksgiving.

 

The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ ,which was shed for thee,preserve thy body & soul unto everlasting life .

Drink this in remembrance that Christ s Blood was shed for thee,& be thankful

 

.Amen ,is response; after,take communion...Then the Lords prayer after congregation takes communion /with communion hymns...

 

This also is abrev. form of communion after genl confession & absolution ,for last rites or,visitation of the sick,if they also want communion.

Another option is to letthe  person get anything weighing on their conscious talked out,if they wish ,or make a will,etc...

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                             Be Blessed,in the Name of the Father,& the Son & the Holy Spirit,Amen/
