The night before he died, Jesus your Son showed
us how much you love us. When he was at supper
with his disciples,
he took bread, and gave you thanks and praise.
Then he broke the bread, gave it to his friends,
and said:
(holds up the bread for the people)
Take this all of you and eat it: this is my
body which will be given up for you.
31
All: (sing) Jesus has given
his life for us!
32
When supper was ended, Jesus took the cup that was filled
with wine. He thanked you, gave it to his friends,
and said:
(holds up the cup for the people)
Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is
the cup of my blood, the blood of the new
and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for
you and for all so that sins my be forgiven.
Do this in memory of me.
