"This is my blood, shed for you."
"Make them be for us the Body and Blood of Christ ..."
"The Disciples knew the Lord Jesus in the breaking of the bread ..."
"The bread which we break, Allelulia, is the communion ... "
"... of the Body of Christ"
The congregation "hits the walls" and lights their candles ...
