Following the Lord’s prayer is the fraction. This is the moment that the consecrated host is broken and the prayer book dictates that a moment of silence is kept. It is easy to move through this silence without taking in what the silence is for. It is in this moment that we are still and quiet before God and His sacrificial love. There is nothing to say only a tender moment of being in God’s presence.
Every time I break this bread I am reminded of Jesus walking with the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24. Jesus finds these disciples walking away from Jerusalem and giving up on whatever they thought Jesus was doing. Jesus takes the time to walk with them and encourage and teach them but for whatever reason they do not recognize Jesus. When the day gets late these discouraged disciples invite Jesus to eat with them. Jesus breaks bread with them and in that moment the disciple’s eyes are opened to his identity and presence. The revelation of Christ’s presence prompts these disciples to return to Jerusalem and continue God’s work in faith.
I speak these words quietly every time I break bread at the Eucharist. “Be known to us Lord in the breaking of this bread”. The fraction and the silence that follows is our road to Emmaus moment. It is a moment to perceive with the eyes and ears of faith that God is with us.
Following the silence, the priest says, [Alleluia.] Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
And the people respond, therefore let us keep the feast. [Alleluia.]
This is a joyful response to God’s presence and work. God is inviting us into His feast. The sacrifice of Christ has been made joyful because of the redemption that it brings. We are now invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb! (Revelation 19:9). We are guests of honor personally invited by our Lord. This is why we can enthusiastically say, Alleluia! Praise the Lord!

BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER VIDEO SERIES
The Anglican Church in North America released its first prayer book in 2019. In creating a video series, the American Anglican Council interviewed some of the key people involved with writing the new Book of Common Prayer (2019) (BCP). The 13-part series serves not only as an introduction to the new BCP but also as an introduction to the prayer book in general and should be helpful and relevant to all Anglicans.
Book of Common Prayer Introduction, and links to other videos, can be found here:

Genesis 32:3-8, 22-30
Psalm 121
2 Timothy 3:14-4:5
Luke 18:1-8
Genesis 32:3-8
3 Ya'akov sent messengers ahead of him to 'Esav his brother toward the land of Se'ir, the country of Edom, 4 with these instructions: "Here is what you are to say to my lord 'Esav: 'Your servant Ya'akov says, "I have been living with Lavan and have stayed until now. 5 I have cattle, donkeys and flocks, and male and female servants. I am sending to tell this news to my lord, in order to win your favor."'" 6 The messengers returned to Ya'akov saying, "We went to your brother 'Esav, and he is coming to meet you; with him are four hundred men." 7 Ya'akov became greatly afraid and distressed. He divided the people, flocks, cattle and camels with him into two camps, 8 saying, "If 'Esav comes to the one camp and attacks it, at least the camp that is left will escape."
Genesis 32:22-30
22 He got up that night, took his two wives, his two slave-girls, and his eleven children, and forded the Yabok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, then sent his possessions across; 24 and Ya'akov was left alone. Then some man wrestled with him until daybreak. 25 When he saw that he did not defeat Ya'akov, he struck Ya'akov's hip socket, so that his hip was dislocated while wrestling with him. 26 The man said, "Let me go, because it's daybreak." But Ya'akov replied, "I won't let you go unless you bless me." 27 The man asked, "What is your name?" and he answered, "Ya'akov." 28 Then the man said, "From now on, you will no longer be called Ya'akov, but Isra'el; because you have shown your strength to both God and men and have prevailed." 29 Ya'akov asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he answered, "Why are you asking about my name?" and blessed him there. 30 Ya'akov called the place P'ni-El [face of God], "Because I have seen God face to face, yet my life is spared."
Psalm 121
1 A song of ascents: If I raise my eyes to the hills, from where will my help come? 2 My help comes from ADONAI, the maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip -your guardian is not asleep. 4 No, the guardian of Isra'el never slumbers or sleeps. 5 ADONAI is your guardian; at your right hand ADONAI provides you with shade 6 the sun can't strike you during the day or even the moon at night. 7 ADONAI will guard you against all harm; he will guard your life. 8 ADONAI will guard your coming and going from now on and forever.
2 Timothy 3:14-17
14 But you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, recalling the people from whom you learned it; 15 and recalling too how from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which can give you the wisdom that leads to deliverance through trusting in Yeshua the Messiah. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is valuable for teaching the truth, convicting of sin, correcting faults and training in right living; 17 thus anyone who belongs to God may be fully equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 4:1-5
1 I solemnly charge you before God and the Messiah Yeshua, who will judge the living and the dead when he appears and establishes his Kingdom: 2 proclaim the Word! Be on hand with it whether the time seems right or not. Convict, censure and exhort with unfailing patience and with teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear. 4 Yes, they will stop listening to the truth, but will turn aside to follow myths. 5 But you, remain steady in every situation, endure suffering, do the work that a proclaimer of the Good News should, and do everything your service to God requires.
Luke 18:1-8
1 Then Yeshua told his talmidim a parable, in order to impress on them that they must always keep praying and not lose heart. 2 "In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people. 3 There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, `Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.' 4 For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, `I don't fear God, and I don't respect other people; 5 but because this widow is such a nudnik, I will see to it that she gets justice -- otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!'" 6 Then the Lord commented, "Notice what this corrupt judge says. 7 Now won't God grant justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Is he delaying long over them? 8 I tell you that he will judge in their favor, and quickly! But when the Son of Man comes, will he find this trust on the earth at all?"
