The Prayers of Intercession
President: Let us pray.
Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Deacon: Dear People of God: our heavenly Father sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved; that all who believe in him might be delivered from the power of sin and death, and become heirs with him of everlasting life.
We pray, therefore, for people everywhere according to their needs.
Let us pray for the family of God;
For its unity in witness and service, For all bishops and the priesthood of all believers, for all in this community, for those who will be baptized, particularly Kadyn Alexander,
That God will confirm his Church in faith, increase it in love, and preserve it in peace.
Silence
President: Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of the family of God, that in their vocation and ministry they may devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Deacon: Let us pray for all nations and peoples of the earth, and for those in authority among them;
For the President of the United States
For the Congress and the Supreme Court
For all who serve the common good
That by God’s help they may seek justice and truth, and live in peace and concord.
Silence
President: Almighty God, kindle, we pray, in every heart the true love of peace, and guide with your wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth; that in tranquility your dominion may increase, until the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Deacon: Let us pray for all who suffer and are afflicted in body or in mind;
For those on our prayer list (read prayer list here)
For those serving in the military (read military prayer list here)
For the hungry and the homeless, the destitute and the oppressed
For the sick, the wounded, and the crippled
For those in loneliness, fear and anguish
For those who face temptations, doubt, and despair
For the sorrowful and the bereaved
For prisoners and captives, and those in mortal danger
That God in his mercy will comfort and relieve them, and grant them the knowledge of his love, and stir up in us the will and patience to minister to their needs.
Silence
President: Gracious God, the comfort of all who sorrow, the strength of all who suffer; Let the cry of those in misery and need come to you, that they
may find your mercy present with them in all their afflictions; and give us, we pray, the strength to serve them for the sake of him who suffered for us, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Silence
President: O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry out in tranquility the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Sursum Corda
President: The Lord be with you.
People: And with your spirit.
President: Lift up your hearts.
People: We lift them up unto the Lord.
President: Let us give thanks unto the Lord.
People: It is meet and right.
President: We give you thanks, O God, through your beloved Child Jesus Christ, whom in the last times you sent to us, a Saviour and Redeemer and Messenger of your will, who is your Word, inseparable from you; through whom you made all things and whom, in your good pleasure, you sent from heaven into the womb of a virgin, and who, conceived within her, was made flesh, and was manifested as your Son, born of the Holy Spirit and a virgin; who fulfilling your will, and winning for you a holy people, spread out his hands when he suffered, that by his passion he might set free those
who believe in you; who, when he was given over to his voluntary suffering, that he might destroy death and break the bonds of the devil, and tread
hell under foot, and enlighten the righteous, and set up a boundary post, and manifest the resurrection, taking bread and giving thanks to you said, Take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you.
In the same manner also, the cup, saying, This is my blood, which is poured out for you. When you do this, you make anamnesis of me.
Therefore, remembering his death and resurrection, we offer to you the bread and the cup, giving thanks to you because you have counted us worthy to stand before you and to minister as priests to you.
And we pray you to send your Holy Spirit upon the oblation of the holy church, gathering into one all who receive the holy mysteries, that we may be filled with the Holy Spirit, to the confirmation of faith in truth, that we may praise and glorify you, through your Child Jesus Christ, through whom be glory and honor to you, with the Holy Spirit in the holy church, both now and world without end. Amen.
Blessing of the Cheese and Olives
Sanctify this milk which has solidified, and solidify us in your love, and let not your sweetness depart from this fruit of the olive tree which is a type of your mercy which you caused to flow from the Tree for life to those who hope in you. Glory to you, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit in the holy church both now and always and world without end. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Closing Prayer
President: We thank you, heavenly Father, for your holy Name which you have caused to dwell in our hearts, and for the knowledge, faith and immortality which you have made known to us through Jesus your servant; to you be glory forever.
You, Lord Omnipotent, have created all things for your Name’s sake, and have given food and drink to all people for their enjoyment, that we should give thanks to you; but upon us you have bestowed spiritual food and drink, and eternal life through Jesus your servant. Above all things we thank you, that you are mighty: for yours is the power and the glory for ever: to you be glory forever.
Be mindful, O Lord, of your Church to deliver it from all evil, and to perfect it in your love; and gather it from the four winds, sanctified unto your Kingdom which you have prepared for it:
President: May grace come and this world pass away.
People: Hosanna to the God of David!
President: If any be holy, let him come; if he be not, let him repent. Maranatha!
People: Amen.
