Epiclesis Over the Gifts
{"Image DocumentName": "Epiclesis Over the Gifts", "Image ImageDescription": "The Invocation. And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us; and, of thy almighty goodness, vouchsafe to bless and sanctify, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, these thy gifts and creatures of bread and wine; that we, receiving them according to thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ s holy institution, in remembrance of his Death and Passion, may be partakers of his most blessed Body and Blood. This is a return to 1549 language ( thy Word and Holy Spirit ). Although note that it retains the 1552, more receptionist, language of we may be partakers rather than that they may be unto us his Body and Blood. Title: The Invocation. Note that the epiclesis is after the institution narrative, not before\u2014different from 1549, and in fact from all the prayers we\u2019ve seen today except Chrysostom. This is the West Syrian pattern.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
