It is “the prayer of thanksgiving and sanctification. The priest invites the people to lift up their hearts to the Lord in prayer and thanksgiving; he unites the congregation with himself in the Prayer that he addresses in the name of the entire community to God the Father through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, the meaning of the Pr a ye r i s t h at th e en t ir e congregation of the faithful should join itself with Christ in confessing the great deeds of God and in the off ering of sacrif ice. The Eucharistic Prayer demands that all listen to it with reverence and in silence.” It begins with the Preface and ends with the final doxology, “Though him, with him...” In this part of the Mass, thanksgiving is given to God for the whole work of salvation or some aspect of it; the people assembled, joining with the heavenly powers, sings the Sanctus (Holy); the Church implores the power of the Holy Spirit that the gifts offered by human hands be consecrated, that is, become Christ’s Body and Blood, and that the unblemished sacrificial Victim to be consumed in Communion may be for the salvation of those who will partake of it; the Sacrifice, which Christ himself instituted at the Last Supper, is carried out by means of the words and actions of Christ; the Church keeps the memorial of Christ, recalling his blessed Passion, glorious Resurrection and Ascension into Heaven; the Church, in this very memorial, offers in the Holy Spirit the spotless victim to the Father; the Church intercedes for all her members both the living and the dead, and; finally, in the final doxology, the glorification of God is expressed and which is confirmed and concluded by the people’s acclamation: Amen. In the Roman Missal, there are four main Eucharistic Prayers. There are other six, including 2 f or reconciliation and 4 for various needs. Eucharistic Prayer I or the Roman Canon, among other things, “may always be used” and “is especially suited for use on Sundays, unless for pastoral reasons Eucharistic Prayer III is preferred.” Eucharistic Prayer II, the shortest of the four “is more appropriately used on weekdays or in special circumstances.” Eucharistic Prayer III – “its use should be preferred on Sunda ys and festive da ys.” Eucharistic Prayer IV “may be used when a Mass has no Preface of its own and on Sundays in Ordinary Time.” In accordance to these norms, the Priest selects one from these. “By its very nature, the Eucharistic Prayer requires that only the Priest say it, in virtue of his Ordination. The people, for their part, should associate themselves with the Priest in faith and in silence, as well as by means of their interventions as prescribed in the course of the Eucharistic Prayer” namely, the responses, and acclamations.
