If the second form of eucharistic prayer outlined in section 5 is used, the breaking of the bread should follow with appropriate words, to initiate the meal. If the bread and wine are administered separately, 6.4 can be used in two parts.
6.1 |
We who are many are one body in Christ, An Australian Prayer Book |
6.2 |
We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. Common Worship |
6.3 |
Every time we eat this bread and drink this cup, Common Worship |
6.4 | We break this bread in remembrance that Christ died for us. We feed on him in our hearts by faith with thanksgiving. We drink this in remembrance that Christ's blood was shed for us and we are thankful. |
