Also known as: Lift up your Hearts, Preface Dialogue
Also known as: Lift up your Hearts, Preface Dialogue
The beginning of the Eucharistic Prayers, said or chanted by the celebrant with responses by the people, just after the Prayer Over the Gifts, and just before the Preface.
The Priest then begins the Eucharistic Prayer with the Preface Dialogue. The Priest, extending his hands, sings or says:
The Lord be with you.
People: And with your spirit.
The Priest, raising his hands, continues:
Lift up your hearts.
People: We lift them up unto the Lord.
Bowing his head and joining his hands, the Priest says:
Let us give thanks unto the Lord our God.
People: It is meet and right so to do.
