The following is said or sung:

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:

have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:
grant us peace.

PRIVATE PREPARATION OF THE PRIEST

LORD JESUS CHRIST,
Son of the living God,

by the will of the Father and the work of the Holy Spirit
Your death brought life to the world.
By Your holy body and blood free me from all my sins,
and from every evil.

Keep me faithful to Your teaching,
and never let me be parted from You.

The priest genuflects. Taking teh host, he raises it slighly over the
paten and facing the people, says aloud:

Behold the Lamb of God,

behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

Response:

Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word

and my soul shall be healed.
