Understanding the Mass: The
Eucharistic Prayer; After the
preparation of the gifts, which is
concluded with the prayer over the
gifts, comes the Eucharistic Prayer,
“the centre and summit of the
entire celebration” of the Mass. 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.
