| L. | O Sacred Banquet, |
| R. | in which Christ is our food,
his passion is recalled, grace fills our hearts, and we receive a pledge of the glory to come. (Alleluia.) |
| L. | You have given us bread from heaven, (alleluia,) |
| R. | having in it the fruits of all goodness. (Alleluia.) |
| L. | Lord Jesus Christ,
you gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of your suffering, death, and resurrection. May our worship of this sacrament of your body and blood help us to experience the salvation you won for us and the peace of the kingdom where you live and reign for ever and ever. |
| R. | Amen. |
| L. | "This is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life"(John 3:16). |
| Adoring, we remember the mystery of the incarnation of the Word and we greet Mary, Mother of the Redeemer. |
| L. | The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. |
| R. | and she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary. |
| L. | Behold the handmaid of the Lord. |
| R. | Be it done unto me according to your word.
Hail Mary. |
| L. | And the Word was made flesh, |
| R. | and dwelt among us.
Hail Mary. |
| L. | Pray for us, Holy Mother of God, |
| R. | that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ |
| L. | We pray:
Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ your Son was made known by the message of an Angel, may, by his Passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of his resurrection. We ask this through the same Christ our Lord. |
| R. | Amen. |
| L. | The angel said to the women: "There is no need for you to be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would." (Mt 28:5-6) |
| In the joy of the resurrection let us address our prayer to Mary, Mother of the Redeemer. |
| L. | Queen of heaven, rejoice, alleluia. |
| R. | The Son whom you merited to bear, alleluia, |
| L. | has risen as he said, alleluia. |
| R. | Pray for us to God, alleluia. |
| L. | Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, |
| R. | for the Lord is truly risen, alleluia. |
| L. | O God, you give joy to the world
by the resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ. Through the prayers of his mother, the Virgin Mary, bring us to happiness of eternal life. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. |
| R. | Amen. |
| L. | Vincent Pallotti encourages us:
To breathe God in and out. To find God in everything. To reveal God to all. To radiate the presence of God. |
| R. | Father in Heaven,
let our hearts be totally consecrated to you. Fill us with great love for you and for our neighbour. Let this time of meditation be a light that will enlighten us so that we can serve you. Amen. |
| L. | We thank you, Lord,
for all the lights and favours which you have given us. Give us the grace to profit by them. |
| R. | By ourselves we can do nothing, with you we can do everything. Because we love you, our Lord, we will do all for you. |
| L. | May the Lord bless us
and preserve us from all evil. May he keep us faithful in his service. |
| R. | To him be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
| L. | Eternal Father, it is your will that all should be saved. |
| R. | Great is your mercy.
Your Son, Jesus Christ, died for all. Teach all people to recognize you and love you. |
| L. | With deep faith in Christ's death and resurrection,
we pray: |
| R. | send forth, O Lord, labourers into your vineyard,
and spare your people. |
| L. | Eternal Word, Redeemer of all creation,
lead all people to yourself: |
| R. | you have been obedient for all,
even to death on the cross. |
| L. | Look upon the merits of your Mother
and of all the angels and saints. They intercede for us. |
| R. | Send forth, O Lord, labourers into your vineyard,
and spare your people. |
| L. | Holy Divine Spirit,
through the infinite merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| L. | For deceased members, relatives and benefactors. |
| 1. | Out of the depth I cry to you, O Lord
Lord, hear my voice! O let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleading. |
| 2. | If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,
Lord, who would servive? But with you is found forgiveness: for this we revere you. |
| 1. | My soul is waiting for the Lord.
I count on his word. My soul is longing for the Lord more than those who watch for daybreak. (Let the watchers count on daybreak and Israel on the Lord). |
| 2. | Because with the Lord there is mercy
and fullness of redemption, Israel indeed he will redeem from all its iniquity. |
| L. | Give them eternal rest, O Lord, |
| R. | and may your light shine on them. |
| L. | May they rest in peace. |
| R. | Amen. |
| L. | To the banquet of eternal glory, |
| R. | lead us, Christ, our risen Lord. |
