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.
All: It is right to give God thanks and praise.
(The prayer begins by approaching the aspect of God as Creator, Father, Life-giver, being thankful for all that we have been given, especially the gift of Jesus Christ.  The segment concludes with words to the effect of…)

Leader: We join with the whole creation to lift our hearts in joyful praise, saying together…

All: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might,
  Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
  Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

(The prayer continues, with a focus now on Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer, and how He gave us the communion meal to unify us in one heart, one spirit, and one faith.  This segment concludes as…)

Leader: We proclaim the mystery of faith, saying:
All: Christ has died.
Christ has risen.
Christ will come again.

We come to the final segment of the prayer, addressing the Holy Spirit, moving from thankfulness for what has been done to intercessions regarding what may yet be.  A time of silent supplication may mark this time, after which we conclude with The Lord’s Prayer (debts).

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