The Prayer of Consecration (Part 3)
The Prayer of Consecration Part 3
we your humble servants celebrate and make here before your
divine Majesty, with these holy gifts, the memorial your Son
commanded us to make; remembering his blessed passion and
precious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension,
and his promise to come again. BCP p117
Our liturgy continues with a reminder that we have something to celebrate. We celebrate the whole and complete work of Jesus.The Holy Gifts that our liturgy refers to point to more than just the death of Christ. The liturgy states that in this memorial we remember “His blessed passion and precious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension,and his promise to come again.” If Christ had only died for our sins but did not rise to new life we would not have much to celebrate. Death would still have it’s sting as St. Paul states. If Christ had not ascended to the Father we would not have an advocate with God and would not have the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. It Jesus does not come again we would not have the hope that he will make all things new. The work of salvation finds a focal point at the cross but it is dependent all the whole of Christ’s life and work. When we consider all that Jesus has done and will do our service becomes a celebration!
And we earnestly desire your fatherly goodness mercifully to
accept this, our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving…..
And here we offer and present to you, O Lord, ourselves, our
souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice. BCP p.117
Every member of the church becomes a priest to our God in this saying. The priests of the Old Testament temple were those who offer God a sacrifice. Our sacrifice is our praise and thanksgiving and our souls and bodies. It is a living sacrifice! This is a sacrifice that extends beyond the moment and into a life lived. It is more than Sunday at the altar in church. We give God our daily lives.
The liturgy states that we are unworthy both to give any sacrifice and we are unworthy to be the sacrifice yet God accepts us because of our faith in Jesus’ sacrifice. Our faith in “His blood”. We invoke God’s Fatherly goodness to accept our meager offerings. We are like the child who asks his father for $20 to buy him another necktie for father’s day. Our sacrifice makes God smile because of His fatherly goodness not because of its worth or benefit to God. We give to God not out of obligation but out of love and gratitude for His Fatherly care.
We humbly pray that all who partake of this Holy Communion may
worthily receive the most precious Body and Blood of your Son
Jesus Christ, be filled with your grace and heavenly benediction,
and be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and
we in him. BCP p.117
Participation in the Eucharist makes us one with God and with each other. This is Jesus’ prayer for his people. That we may be one as He is One with the Father. Our Christian unity is symbolized in the one cup that we all drink from. This does not diminish our diversity but enhances it. St. Paul uses this metaphor of the body of Christ to teach that we all are called to particular functions within the body. Some are eyes some are feet and some are hands but all are necessary. Our diversity and unity are held in perfect balance when we see ourselves as all sharing in the one Body of Christ.
The prayer of consecration ends with what tradition calls the great AMEN. The 1979 BCP capitalized all these letters to emphasize the boldness to which people are to respond. It is a reminder that the consecration prayer is not a prayer of the priest alone but the work of all the people. The great Amen is an affirmation by the people of all that has been prayed. It is also a sign of the triumph that comes through this celebration. We have boldness to speak these words before God because of the mighty work of Jesus. I encourage you next Sunday to enthusiastically respond to this prayer with a verbally bold and all caps AMEN.

Amos 6:1-7
Psalm 146
I Timothy 6:11-19
Luke 16:19-31
Amos 6:1-7 1 Woe to those living at ease in Tziyon and to those who feel complacent on the hills of Shomron, renowned men in this foremost of nations, to whom the rest of Isra'el come. 2 Travel to Kalneh and see; from there go on to Hamat the great; then go down to Gat of the P'lishtim. Are you better than these kingdoms? Is their territory larger than yours? 3 You put off all thought of the evil day but hasten the reign of violence. 4 You lie on beds of ivory and lounge sprawled out on your couches, dining on meat from lambs in the flock and from calves fattened in stalls. 5 You make up wild songs at your parties, playing the lute and inventing other instruments - [imagining that you're] like David! 6 You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but feel no grief at the ruin of Yosef. 7 Therefore now they will be the first to go into exile with those being exiled, and the revelry of those who lounged, sprawling, will pass away.
Psalm 146 1 Halleluyah! Praise ADONAI, my soul! 2 I will praise ADONAI as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God all my life. 3 Don't put your trust in princes or in mortals, who cannot help. 4 When they breathe their last, they return to dust; on that very day all their plans are gone. 5 Happy is he whose help is Ya'akov's God, whose hope is in ADONAI his God. 6 He made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; he keeps faith forever. 7 He secures justice for the oppressed, he gives food to the hungry. ADONAI sets prisoners free, 8 ADONAI opens the eyes of the blind, ADONAI lifts up those who are bent over. ADONAI loves the righteous. 9 ADONAI watches over strangers, he sustains the fatherless and widows; but the way of the wicked he twists. 10 ADONAI will reign forever, your God, Tziyon, through all generations. Halleluyah!
1 Timothy 6:11-19 11 But you, as a man of God, flee from these things; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith, take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you testified so well to your faith before many witnesses. 13 I charge you before God, who gives life to all things, and before the Messiah Yeshua, who in his witness to Pontius Pilate gave the same good testimony, 14 to obey your commission spotlessly and irreproachably until our Lord Yeshua the Messiah appears. 15 His appearing will be brought about in its own time by the blessed and sole Sovereign, who is King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal, who dwells in unapproachable light that no human being has ever seen or can see - to him be honor and eternal power. Amen. 17 As for those who do have riches in this present world, charge them not to be proud and not to let their hopes rest on the uncertainties of riches but to rest their hopes on God, who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment. 18 Charge them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, to be generous and ready to share. 19 In this way they will treasure up for themselves a good foundation for the future, so that they may lay hold of the real life.
Luke 16:19-31 19 "Once there was a rich man who used to dress in the most expensive clothing and spent his days in magnificent luxury. 20 At his gate had been laid a beggar named El`azar who was covered with sores. 21 He would have been glad to eat the scraps that fell from the rich man's table; but instead, even the dogs would come and lick his sores. 22 In time the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Avraham's side; the rich man also died and was buried. 23 "In Sh'ol, where he was in torment, the rich man looked up and saw Avraham far away with El`azar at his side. 24 He called out, `Father Avraham, take pity on me, and send El`azar just to dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue, because I'm in agony in this fire!' 25 However, Avraham said, `Son, remember that when you were alive, you got the good things while he got the bad; but now he gets his conso lation here, while you are the one in agony. 26 Yet that isn't all: between you and us a deep rift has been established, so that those who would like to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' 27 "He answered, `Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father's house, 28 where I have five brothers, to warn them; so that they may be spared having to come to this place of torment too.' 29 But Avraham said, `They have Moshe and the Prophets; they should listen to them.' 30 However, he said, `No, father Avraham, they need more. If someone from the dead goes to them, they'll repent!' 31 But he replied, `If they won't listen to Moshe and the Prophets, they won't be convinced even if someone rises from the dead!'"
