THE EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS PRAYER - Communion with Christ and with One Another

Mit-Testment il-Qadim - il-profeta Mikea:-

[Mik 6:8] Bniedem, huwa wriek x'inhu tajjeb u x'jistenna minnek il-Mulej: li tagħmel dak li hu ġust, li tħobb u tkun ħanin, u li tkun umli fl-imġiba tiegħek ma' Alla tiegħek."

Eucharistic Congress Prayer

Archbishop Martin has approved the Eucharistic Congress Prayer. We invite you to support the Congress by praying this prayer with us, on a daily basis if possible. The prayer draws its inspiration from the Gospel story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Lk. 24) and from the words of the prophet Micah where we read:

“This and only this is what the Lord God asks of you: to act justly, to love tenderly, and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8).

The Congress office will shortly arrange for the prayer to be printed and made available to those who wish to have it.

Lord Jesus,

You were sent by the Father

to gather together those who are scattered.

You came among us, doing good and bringing healing,

announcing the Word of salvation

and giving the Bread which lasts forever.

Be our companion on life’s pilgrim way.

May your Holy Spirit inflame our hearts,

enliven our hope and open our minds,

so that together with our sisters and brothers in faith

we may recognise you in the Scriptures and in the

breaking of bread.

May your Holy Spirit transform us into one body

and lead us to walk humbly on the earth,

in justice and love,

as witnesses of your resurrection.

In communion with Mary,

whom you gave to us as our Mother at the foot of the

cross, through you

may all praise, honour and blessing be to the Father

in the Holy Spirit and in the Church,

Now and forever.

Amen

The Making of Communion Bread for Holy Communion

The Eucharist is one of the seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church. In this Sacrament bread is change by Christ through the priest at Mass into Jesus' Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Bread is changed through the process of transubstantiation into the invisible real presence of Jesus. The bread for this Sacrament is specially made. 
Here the Passionist nuns of Erlanger, Kentucky show how the bread that is used in Communion is made.

263. Il-Mibgħut

 

1 Inti t-triq u l-ħajja, Inti l-verità, Inti li tmexxini lejn il-libertà, Inti li għaziltni biex nimxi warajk U nitgħallem minnek Nagħmel dak li Alla jrid. Ridt li tibqa’ fija u jien nibqa’ fik Ħalli nġorrok dejjem ġo fija. 2 Inti kont li għażiltni, Mhux għażiltek jien, Ħtartni biex tibgħatni nxandrek kullimkien. Fuq il-pala ta’ idejk, ismi int naqqaxt, Wgħedtni illi waħdi Inti ma tħallini qatt. Kemm-il darba għejjejt u ħrabt, Int ma tlaqtni qatt U bqajt dejjem tiġri warajja. 3 Ħeġġeġ Int lil qalbi bħal ħuġġieġa nar Biex intir bil-ħeffa mas-sinjal ta’ jdejk Meta nkun quddiemek B’ħarsti mwaħħla fik, Lest biex nisma’ kelmtek U bil-qalb immur naqdik Nixhed quddiem ħuti l’Inti Alla ħaj Ħliefek allat oħra ma hemmx.

4 Naddaf int lil fommi, Qegħdli kliemek fih Ħalli mmur inxandar dak li tgħidli int. Fit-tfixkil li jiena nsib, kun għalija sur, Ħudni u kenninni int Għas-satra ta’ ġwenħajk U jekk naqta’ qalbi quddiem it-taħbit Tini l-qawwa int li nżomm sħiħ. 5 Meta d-dgħajsa tiegħi Jitla’ għaliha l-mewġ W inti tibqa’ rieqed bla ma tagħmel xejn Agħmel illi nibqa’ nemmen fik bis-sħiħ Għaliex inti r-ragħaj it-tajjeb Li fid-dlam ukoll Tissokta tmexxini bil-qawwa ta’ jdejk Jekk tkun ħdejja, jien ma nibżax. 6 Naf li jiena ċkejken u ma niswa xejn Imma int setgħani, Tagħmel ħwejjeġ kbar U biċ-ċokon tiegħi, jekk nerħih f’idejk, Inti s-Saltna tkompli tifrex Fi qlub il-bnedmin Jiena l-qaddej tiegħek, Naħdem biss għalik. Ħa jsir minni dejjem skont kelmtek.
