The Celebrant or Deacon says, 
Ye who do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins, and are in love and charity with your neighbors, and intend to lead a new life, following the commandments of God, and walking from enceforth in his holy ways: Draw near with faith, and make your humble confession to Almighty God, devoutly kneeling. 

All join in saying, 
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remebrance of them is greivous unto us, the burden of them is intolerable.  Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

The Celebrant says, 
May Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all those who with hearty repentance and true faith turn to him, have mercy upon us, pardon and deliver us from all our sins, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and bring us to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. R. Amen. 

The Celebrant, Deacon, or other minister may then say one or more of the following sentences, fist saying, 
Hear the Word of God to all who truly turn to him. 

Come unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will 
refresh you. Matthew 11:28  
God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 
This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 1 Timothy 1:15 
If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the perfect offering for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2 

The Celebrant says, 
The peace of the Lord be always with you. 
R. And with thy spirit. 

                    THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST 

During the Offertory a psalm, hymn or anthem may be sung.  The Celebrant, standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, says quietly, 

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have this bread to offer, which earth has given and human hands have made. It will become for us the bread of life. 

If there is no music, the people respond 
Blessed be God for ever. 

The Deacon (or the Priest) pours a little water into the chalice, saying quietly, 

By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the divinity of Christ, who humbled himself to share in our humanity. 

Then the Celebrant takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, says quietly, 

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have this wine to offer, fruit of the vine and work of human hands. It will become our spiritual drink. 

If there is no music, the people respond 
Blessed be God for ever. 

The Priest bows and says quietly, 

Lord God, we ask you to receive us and be pleased with the sacrifice we offer you with humble and contrite hearts. 

He may now incense the offerings and the altar, and afterwards the Thurifer may incense the people.  The Priest, standing at the side of the altar, washes his hands saying quietly,  

Lord, wash away my iniquity; cleanse me from my sin. 
 
Standing at the center of the altar, he faces the people and says,  
Pray, brethren, that our sacrifice may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father. 

The people respond,  
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good, and the good of all his Church. 

The people kneel.  With hands extended, the Priest sings or says the Prayer over the Gifts, after which the people respond 
Amen.
