The Bishop greets the newly ordained. The peace of the Lord be always with you. People And also with you. The Clergy and People greet one another. The liturgy continues with the Offertory.
Deacons prepare the Table.
Standing at the Lord's Table, with the Bishop and other presbyters, the newly ordained Priest joins in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and in the Breaking of the Bread. In place of the usual postcommunion prayer, the following is said Almighty Father, we thank you for feeding us with the holy food of the Body and Blood of your Son, and for uniting us through him in the fellowship of your Holy Spirit. We thank you for raising up among us faithful servants for the ministry of your Word and Sacraments. We pray that N may be to us an effective example in word and action, in love and patience, and in holiness of life. The Bishop then asks the new priest to bless the people.
