n the name of the Father, and of the
and of the Holy Spirit.

Meanwhile, if incense is used, the Priest puts some into the thurible, then
proceeds to the ambo accompanied, if appropriate, by the ministers with
incense and candles. There he says:
P: The lord be with you.
A: And with your spirit.
P: A reading from the holy Gospel according to
John
A: Glory to you, O Lord.
And, at the same time, he makes the Sign of the Cross on the Book and on
his forehead, lips, and breast.
The Priest will incense the Book, if the incense is used and then he will
proclaim the Gospel.
Therefore, as we celebrate
the memorial of his Death and Resurrection,
we offer you, Lord, the Bread of life and the
Chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you
have held us worthy to be in your presence
and minister to you.
Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body
and Blood of Christ, we may be gathered into
one by the Holy Spirit.
