description: The Divine Service reaches its apex at the Altar, where the celebrant offers the Anaphora, the Eucharistic Prayer that the Western church has also called the Great Thanksgiving, which carries the entire church family into communion with Jesus Christ. That prayer belongs to the whole congregation, and it constitutes the corporate church’s preparation for Holy Communion, a preparation embedded in the liturgy itself and renewed every Lord’s Day.

Consequently, the communicant’s private preparation is bound to the very texts the congregation will hear read and preached, so that personal devotion and corporate worship converge on the same Word. The prayers of preparation proceed from the proper disposition for communing, which is repentance and faith. Each preparatory prayer …
