Opening Acclamation
The opening Acclamation states the entire journey’s destination: the Kingdom of the Triune God (Schmemann, For the Life of the World, 29).
Processional
The Processional, though not mandated in the BCP2019, begins the enactment of the journey: following Christ, represented by the processional cross, God’s people enter God’s presence. They are only able to approach the altar by virtue of the sufficient sacrifice of Christ himself. On their own, they are impure and unfit for worship (Rom. 3:23).
Collect for Purity
Through the Collect for Purity, then, the people ask for the Holy Spirit’s cleansing to enable proper worship.
Praise, Prayer, Lessons, and Sermon
After singing praises to a holy and merciful God (Ps 5:11), and being gathered together in prayer (Matt 18:20) by the Collect of the Day, the people are ready to hear the Word of God, first read aloud in the Lessons, and then proclaimed and exposited in the Sermon(1 Tim 4:13).
Creed
The Church then responds to God’s Word by confessing the Nicene Creed as a summary of its faith in both God and His Word.
Prayers of the People
If heard correctly, God’s Word should bring concern for God’s world, for which the community then intercedes in the Prayers of the People(1 Tim 2:1).
Offertory
The transition now complete, the Liturgy of Holy Communion begins with the Offertory, in which God’s people offer Him their very selves, symbolized by the bread, wine, and money as the fruits of human labor.
Great Thanksgiving
Then comes the Great Thanksgiving to God, in which, at the phrase “lift up your hearts” (sursum corda), the anaphora takes place as the Church itself is lifted up, as an offering, into the heavenly sanctuary (Chan, Liturgical Theology, 142).
Sanctus and Benedictus qui venit
Along with the angels in heaven, the Church praises God for His holiness in the Sanctus (“Holy”; Isa 6:3; Rev 4:8), and welcomes Christ’s presence in the Eucharist through the Benedictus qui venit (“Blessed is he who comes”; Ps 118:26; Matt 21:9; 23:39).
Post-Communion Prayer, Benediction, and Dismissal
In the Post-Communion Prayer, the people thank God for his provision and ask for His blessing as they are sent back out into the world – a blessing which they then receive in the celebrant’s benediction (Luke 24:50; John 14:12), before beingsent out into the worldto serve Christ (Matt 28:16-20).

Eucharist. The Eucharist is the basic and essential service of worship for Christians. The Church continues to re-present Jesus' victory of love upon the Cross by celebrating this Sacrament. We glorify God by re-offering ourselves to him in this Sacrament of praise and thanksgiving.
