	USCCB - (Liturgy) - The Eucharistic Prayer
		The Eucharistic Prayer or Canon of the Mass is the central prayer of the entire celebration.
		Most Catholics have been made aware from their earliest days that during the Eucharistic Prayer the bread and wine are transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ.
		And so, during the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass, we have more to do than to look forward to the moment of consecration and remain there while the prayer of the priest continues.

	Eucharistic Prayer
		Because Mass is the prayer of the universal Church, we have a common ritual.
		We pray a common prayer and have a common ritual because we are praying as a universal Church.
		In the second Eucharistic prayer we pray "we thank you for counting us worthy to stand in your presence and serve you." Thus, it has been proposed that standing be the posture for all to assume during the Eucharistic prayer at the Community of St. Malachi.

		Reflections on the Eucharistic Prayer by Bishop Gerber of the Diocese of Wichita, Kansas.
		The Eucharist is thus the “source and summit” of the Church—all her activities flow from the Eucharist and lead us to a full participation in it.
		In the Eucharist, Jesus is as humble as bread, as nourishing as bread, and as broken as bread.

	EUCHARISTIC PRAYER OF ST. ATHANASIUS-THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE DIVINE LITURGY
		Firstly, the Armenian Orthodox Church's Eucharistic Prayer is remarkable as it is unique in all Christendom in that it is most profoundly Christological in its outpouring of praise and thanksgiving.
		The anamnesis within the Eucharistic Prayer is one such proclamation and avoids completely any reference to cultic "analogy" rather focusing entirely on the divine economy of salvation in the life, death and resurrection of Christ, thus fulfilling principal 3 of Maxwell-Weedon both positively and prohibitively.
		The Armenians call their Eucharistic Prayer the Eucharistic Prayer of St. Athanasius, not because he is the author of it, but for 2 reasons, the first being that Athanasius is considered a hero of the faith as a great father and confessor of the Church and secondly, for its uniquely Christological character.

	Eucharistic Prayer III - Bulletin Insert from Ministry & Liturgy 8/99
		Eucharistic Prayer III has no preface of its own between the opening dialogue and the Holy.
		After the Holy is sung, Prayer III starts with the words, “Lord you are holy indeed, and all creation rightly gives you praise.” The entire opening of the prayer — the preface, the Holy and these first lines — all give praise to God.
		We conclude the prayer with a doxology and Amen.

	Eucharistic Prayer
		The Jewish berakah prayer form, specifically the prayer pronounced toward the end of the meal over the wine, served as the model for the Eucharistic prayer.
		Later, 2 Eucharistic prayers for Reconciliation and 3 Eucharistic prayers for use with children were introduced.
		Intercessions: the intercessions make it clear that the Eucharist is celebrated in communion with the entire Church of heaven and earth and that the offering is made for the Church and all its members, living and dead, who are called to share in the salvation and redemption purchased by Christ's body and blood.

	From One Eucharistic Prayer to Many - Fr Cassian Folsom, OSB
		The fourth Eucharistic prayer is hardly ever used; in part because it is long, in part because in some places in the U.S. it has been unofficially banned because of its frequent use of the word "man".
		On the one hand, respect for this prayer made the group hesitate to touch it; on the other, there were suggestions from experts and requests from pastors for a different and more logical organization of the Eucharistic Prayer.
		More Eucharistic Prayers are called for; the Holy See is neither to prepare these prayers nor provide models for them; instead Episcopal conferences should be able to compose new prayers on their own authority.

	Do we dare to pray the Eucharistic Prayer?
		This reflection on the meaning and the importance of the Eucharistic Prayer was influenced by two meetings.
		Firstly, the Eucharistic Prayer is an act of defiance.
		Fourthly, the Eucharistic Prayer is a shout of victory: Through Christ, with Christ and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canon of the Mass
		The whole Canon is essentially one long prayer, the Eucharistic prayer that the Eastern rites call the Anaphora.
		He thinks that the Canon, while consisting of much the same prayers, was originally arranged in a different order, namely, in the same way as the Syrian Anaphora which it so closely resembles, and that in the fifth century, shortly before it became stereotyped in the time of St.
		During this prayer the sign of the cross is made five times over the offering -- a further blessing of the bread and wine about to be consecrated.

	Mystery of the Swiss Synod Eucharistic Prayer
		There are many vexing problems surrounding the Swiss Synod prayer: it contributes to the confusing proliferation of liturgical options, it raises questions of translation principles, liturgical procedure and theological integrity, and it is not yet clear that the published text actually does conform to the typical edition.
		The recent introduction of the Swiss Synod prayer is simply the latest example of the growing number of Eucharistic prayers recently approved by the Church for universal use.
		The Eucharistic prayer, or canon, is at the heart of the Mass.

	Eucharistic Prayer I - Bulletin Insert from Modern Liturgy 10/98
		The First Eucharistic Prayer is lengthy and ponderous.Its repetitive structure so differs from the other prayers that it canbe hard to follow.
		Having no prefaceof its own, it accepted one chosen for the feast, season, or occasion.The rest of the prayer remained unchanged since about the seventh centuryand assumed the title "canon" because it was the only one.
		Eucharistic PrayerI is admittedly hard to follow, but its endurance gives testimony to thetimelessness of the Catholic faith.

	Eucharistic Prayer for the Celebrant(s) Alone?
		This is the earliest known written text for a Eucharistic Prayer and forms the basis for the present Roman Missal's Second Eucharistic Prayer.
		These Eucharistic Prayers are specifically reserved for celebrations mostly attended by children, and therefore are usually reserved for weekday Masses at schools.
		Therefore, apart from the fact that the use of such Eucharistic Prayers at a regular Sunday Mass is illicit, some parishioners might be justly offended by being treated as 8-year-olds.

		A: From the historical perspective, the fact that this prayer has always been reserved to the priest is confirmed by solid evidence and so it appears to be a constant tradition of the Church.
		Although the prayer is not yet a fixed text it is clear that only the "president" says it while the people say "Amen" at the end.
		The celebrant, in saying the Eucharistic Prayer, is acting at the same time in the person of the Church and in the person of Christ.

		When he has concluded the prayers and thanksgiving, all present give voice to an acclamation by saying, 'Amen'...deacons give to those present the 'eucharisted' bread, wine and water and take them to those who are absent." (#1345) St. Justin does not tell us what the Eucharistic Prayer actually was in his time.
		The prayer contained therein may be regarded as originating in Rome but it cannot be determined the extent to which it represents the practice of the Roman Church.
		During the Octave of Christmas we have this addition to our present Eucharistic Prayer: "In union with the whole Church we celebrate that day when Mary without loss of her virginity gave the world its Savior.

	Catholic Community Forum Discussion Groups - Eucharistic Prayer II
		Simply the prayer to bring them "into the light of your presence" restricts implicitly its application to those who are not damned, since our Liturgy, both in Latin and in the official English translation, states that damnation is "final" or "aeterna".
		His book, The Apostolic Tradition, most probably preserves the Roman liturgical prayers of the 2nd century, and the Canon in it is much more similiar to today's Eucharistic Prayer II than to the Roman Canon that we have known since St. Gregory the Great.
		You know that the original Eucharistic prayers used by post-apostolic churches were not the same as the Mass that you hold in reverence today.

	The Confessing Reader » Blog Archive » An acceptable Anglican Rite eucharistic prayer? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		This is particularly jarring in the case of the Rite I (traditional language) eucharistic rite, given the sudden shift to contemporary language for the preparation of the gifts at the offertory.
		But there is an even better candidate for an Anglican Rite (or an Anglican Use) eucharistic prayer: the prayer from the Scottish Communion Office of 1764, the eucharistic liturgy of the non-juring Scottish Episcopal Church whose bishops consecrated Samuel Seabury, the first bishop of the American episcopal succession.
		The prayer will be familiar to American Episcopalians and Anglicans, both users of the 1928 prayerbook and of the 1979 prayerbook, where Eucharistic Prayer A and Eucharistic Prayer B are both based on this Scottish prayer.

	RomanRite - MIM: Eucharistic Prayer
		According to IG 147, the Eucharistic Prayer is proclaimed by the priest alone.
		According to IG 43, the faithful "should kneel at the consecration, except when prevented by reasons of health, lack of space, the number of people present or some other good reason." Those who do not kneel at the consecration ought to make a profound bow when the priest genuflects after the consecration.
		In the 1975 Order of Mass, for four Eucharistic Prayers, the Epiclesis are indicated by the rubric instruction "hands outstreched over the offering".

	Lima Liturgy (E)
		In the account of Jesus' life, the preface recalls the consecration of the Servant by baptism, the last supper of the eucharist, the memorial of the death and resurrection, and the presence of the Risen Saviour in the breaking of the bread.
		The eucharist, given in the Spirit to the church as a precious gift, is received by the Father as an intercession and a thanksgiving, one with the very offering of the Son which reestablishes us in the cove-nant with God.
		This regular offering of prayers by the Christian community seals the communion of the Church and constitutes a sacrifice of praise and intercession in which its communion with God is constantly renewed.

		He wondered if perhaps your pastor was using it as a series of acclamations together with an approved eucharistic prayer--inserting the parts of "Table Prayer" as acclamations to parts of the eucharistic prayer.
		And the eucharistic prayer already calls for the response of the people in the acclamation following the consecration and in the great amen.

		The Eucharistic Prayer is the center of our celebration during each Mass.

Eight of the 13 Eucharistic Prayers are for Weekday and Sunday Liturgies, 2 have Reconciliation as their theme and 3 are for Masses with children.
		We should all listen to the Eucharistic Prayer in silent reverence and share in it by participating in the acclamations.

	JIMMY AKIN.ORG: Singing The Eucharistic Prayer
		This is a restriction on what other people can do during this time (note that to the general rule that the people say or sing nothing it makes an exception for the acclamations of the people that are prescribed during this time).
		Singing the Eucharistic Prayer has a looooong history, and so they expect the intended reader (a liturgical professioal) to recognize that the use of proferre in GIRM 32 doesn't exclude it--particularly when people sing the Eucharistic Prayer all the time and GIRM 38 says proferre includes singing AND one other important fact.
		It IS correct to understand that the priest's singing (or reciting) of the Eucharistic prayer (or any other part of the Mass that belongs to him alone) is not to be accompanied by any musical instrument at all.

		My prayer for all of us who form this diocesan Church of Arlington is that we shall treasure ever more deeply and fully this inestimable gift given to us by Jesus: His Real Presence in the Eucharist.
		Sacred Chrism, soon to be consecrated, is used to anoint the newly baptized, to seal the candidates for confirmation and to anoint the hands of priests and the heads of bishops at their ordination, as well as in the rites of anointing which pertain to the dedication of churches and altars.
		In the celebration of the Eucharist and in the reception of His very Self in Holy Communion, we are truly made one with Him.
