Commemoration of the Living

Part of the Canon of the Mass, said by the celebrant, just after the Te Igitur and before the First Intercession.

All servers should be kneeling during the Commemoration of the Living. The acolyte is standing and pointing the missal for the celebrant.

Remember, O Lord, thy servants and handmaids [N. and N.] and all who here around us stand, whose faith is known unto thee and their steadfastness manifest, on whose behalf we offer unto thee, or who themselves offer unto thee this sacrifice of praise; for themselves, and for all who are theirs; for the redemption of their souls, for the hope of their health and well-being; and who offer their prayers unto thee, the eternal God, the living and the true.
