Weekly Lessons on the Sacred Liturgy
Behold the Lamb
As the Prayer over the Offering is concluded, “the center and high point of the entire celebration begins, namely, the Eucharistic Prayer itself, that is, the prayer of thanksgiving and sanctification. The Priest calls upon the people to lift their hearts toward the Lord in prayer and thanksgiving; he associates the people with himself in the Prayer that he addresses in the name of the entire community to God the Father through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, the meaning of this Prayer is that the whole congregation of the faithful joins with Christ in confessing the great deeds of God and in the offering of Sacrifice. The Eucharistic Prayer requires that everybody listens to it with reverence and in silence.” (GIRM, 78). It is here, during the Eucharistic Prayer, that, at the consecration, our Lord Jesus Christ is made present in our midst, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in the eucharistic species.
