Great Prayer of Thanksgiving
Leader: The Lord be with you.
All: And also
with you.
Leader: Lift up your hearts.
All: We lift
them up to the Lord.
Leader: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

Leader: We proclaim the mystery of faith,

Prayer (debts).
Hear
us as we pray boldly with the words that He taught us as we say together,
Our Father…Amen.
