To administer the wine the elders and priests took the cup and said, “God the Eternal Father, we ask you in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this wine to the souls of those who drink it. May they drink it in remembrance of the blood of your Son that was shed for them. May they bear witness to you, God the Eternal Father, that they will always remember him, and may they always have his Spirit with them. Amen.”
