THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER, CONTINUED:
After singing the memorial acclamation,
we enter a new part of the Eucharistic
Prayer, called the Anamnesis or remembering. Jesus said “Do this in memory of
me” and for two millennia, our Eucharist
prayer has included remembering. As we
fulfill Christ’s command to act in his
memory, we can offer to God what he
has given to us: A sacrifice that is not
merely holy, but perfect: The heavenly
feast, given to us in the life-giving bread and in the saving
cup. In making this offering, we offer ourselves, as the
Body of Christ in the Spirit, as well, asking the Father to
accept US along with Christ, and to make us an everlasting
gift. Remember: at the beginning of the Eucharistic Prayer,
the priest invoked the Holy Spirit over the gifts. Now, we
pray in a second invocation that the Holy Spirit will come
upon all of US, that we will be filled with the Spirit through
our sharing, and that we will, in the unity of the Spirit, be
brought together by our communion Christ’s Body and
Blood. Next, the Eucharistic Prayer moves into a series of
intercessions for various needs. These are more formal that
the prayers of the faithful that concluded the Liturgy of the
Word. We pray for the Church throughout the world, asking
God to bless it with faith and love, with unity and peace.
We pray for our Pope and our local bishop, mentioning them
by name. We pray for all the clergy and all the faithful. We
pray for the dead, who have gone before us. And finally, we
pray to God for ourselves. We ask for God’s forgiveness and
mercy, and we implore that God will make us worthy to
share eternal life.

Virtue of the Month: Hope
Hope is the anchor of the soul:
In the letter to the Hebrews the author uses the symbol of the anchor for the theological virtue of Hope: This hope we
have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast (Hebrews 6:18). Just as the boat stays connected to its
desired place through the strength of the anchor, so also, the strength of hope keeps us connected to heaven, our desired home. Hope is the certainty that what God has promised He is capable of providing, particularly as regards our
heavenly inheritance. Living in a material world it is easy to think of the anchor, enormous in size and weight, is
stronger than a spiritual reality of virtue. But hope has proven itself strong through the vast numbers of martyrs who
have given their lives in the hope that what God has promised He will indeed provide.
