Yeah, this one’s short, but everyone deserves a break right? I think so, and since I’m in charge here, that’s all that matters.
In Eucharistic Prayer II, after the Mystery of Faith and the Anamnesis, comes the Epiclesis. No, that’s not a typo, there is actually ANOTHER short Epiclesis in Eucharistic Prayer II which brings us back to the subject of “Calling down the Holy Spirit.” It goes a little something like this:
Current Text:
May all of us who share in the body and blood of Christ be brought together in unity by the Holy Spirit.
Beginning in Advent 2011:
Humbly we pray that, partaking in the Body and Blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
Again, this one’s just short, since we’ve already talked about what the word Epiclesis means, but don’t be discouraged. We’ve still got two more posts before we finish up with the Eucharistic Prayer. See you next time.
