"In memory of his [Jesus'] death and resurrection, we offer you Father, this life giving bread, this saving cup. We thank you for counting us worthy to stand in your presence and serve you. May all of us who share in the body and blood of Christ be brought together in unity of the Holy Spirit. Before he was given up to death, a death he freely accepted, he took bread and gave you thanks, he broke the bread, gave it to his disciples and said, take this all of you and eat it. This is my body, which will be given up for you. When supper was ended, he took a cup, again he gave you thanks and praise, he gave it to his disciples and said, take this all of you and drink from it. This is my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all, so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me."
[From Eucharistic Payer II]
At the consecration.
The actual consecration is done only by the priest, through the power of the Holy Spirit, although several priests may say the words of consecration at the same time. Altar servers may help with the ritual by presenting the bread and wine, and helping the priest wash his hands.
Roman Catholic AnswerStarting back when the consecration was held at a remote altar and the canon (the Eucharistic prayer) was said in a low voice with the priest bending over the altar, a bell was run at the point where the consecration actually took place. This has been done for hundreds of years, and is still recommended even though the people can plainly heard the priest now.
The prayer of consecration, known as the Canon of the Mass, does not change, there are four optional Canons, plus some others in the back of the Missal for special occasions such as penance services, but the priest may use the same Canon for every Mass he celebrates.
Baptism. Baptism is the purification of water to wash away sin. Many Christians do this when they become saved by God.
There are many prayers prayed by the priest during the Eucharist. I'm thinking that you are asking about a specific one, but this is just a guess. The Canon or Eucharistic Prayer is the central portion of the Eucharistic liturgy, it has eight parts: Preface, Acclamation, Epiclesis, Consecration, Anamnesis, Oblation, Intercessions, and Doxology.
The consecration of the gifts
It happens during the consecration when the priest says 'Take all of you and eat of this for this is my body' and when he says 'this is the chalice of my blood which will be shed for you and many for the forgiveness of sin."
It is called, Eucharist.Roman Catholic AnswerTransubstantiation is the complete change of the substance of bread and wine into the substance of Christ' Body and Blood by a validly ordained priest during the consecration at Mass.
Yes, according to Canon Law, a priest may assist in celebrating Mass in a diocese other than his own, with the permission of the local bishop. This collaboration ensures that the celebration of the Eucharist is conducted reverently and in accordance with the guidelines of the Catholic Church.
Before the consecration in the Catholic Mass, the bread and wine are just regular food and drink. They are not yet considered the Body and Blood of Christ. It is through the words of consecration spoken by the priest that Catholic belief holds that a transformation occurs, and the bread and wine become the Real Presence of Christ.
The matter for the sacrament of Holy Orders includes the laying on of hands by the bishop and the prayer of consecration. The form consists of the specific prayers and words spoken by the bishop during the ordination ceremony, which confers the office of bishop, priest, or deacon upon the candidate.
