Prayer of Confession (unison)

Jesus, in the same night that He was betrayed, took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and gave it to His disciples, saying, "Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me."

Likewise after supper He took the cup; and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink ye all of this; for this is my blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for you and for many, for the forgiveness of sins; do this as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me."

The Giving of the Bread and Grape Juice
