R. (cf. 1 Cor 10:16)
Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of Christ.How shall I make a return to the LORD
for all the good he has done for me?
The cup of salvation I will take up,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
R.

is the death of his faithful ones.
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid;
you have loosed my bonds.
R.

Brothers and sisters:
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you,
that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over,
took bread, and, after he had given thanks,
broke it and said, This is my body that is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying,
This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup,
you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Verse Before the Gospel Jn 13:34
I give you a new commandment, says the Lord:
love one another as I have loved you.
