As we continue our survey of the Divine Service from John Pless\u2019s Narrative Commentary<\/em>, we come to Holy Communion:<\/p>\n

PREFACE, SANCTUS, PRAYER, OUR FATHER<\/p>\n

Drawn toward the gifts of Jesus\u2019 body and blood, our hearts are lifted up in thanksgiving and praise as we anticipate the reception of the gifts that carry with them our redemption. The Sanctus brings together the song of heaven\u2019s angels in adoration of the Holy Three-in-One and the acclamations of Palm Sunday; \u201cBlessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.\u201d In the prayer, we give thanks to the Lord for the redemption which He has secured for us by His cross; we ask Him to prepare us to receive that redemption in living and joyful faith. The Our Father, the prayer which Jesus taught His disciples to pray, is the \u201ctable prayer\u2019 with which we come to the Lord\u2019s Table.<\/p>\n

CONSECRATION, PAX DOMINI, AGNUS DEI, DISTRIBUTION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The pastor speaks the Lord\u2019s own words; these words give and bestow what they declare, the Body and Blood of Christ. The Sacrament of Jesus\u2019 Body and Blood is the vehicle for peace. Showing them His wounds, the Risen Lord declared His peace is given us with the Lord\u2019s Body and Blood. By sharing this \u201cpeace of the Lord\u201d with each other, we lay aside all that stands in contradiction of the Lord\u2019s testament. With the words of John the Baptist, the Agnus Dei confesses the mercy and peace that we receive from the Lamb of God in His Supper. We come to the Lord\u2019s Table hungry and thirsty and He feeds us with His Body and refreshes us with His Blood. It is the Lord\u2019s Supper. As Luther reminds us \u201cOur Lord is at one and the same time chef, cook, butler, host, and food.\u201d\n
