At the end of the Eucharistic Prayer, the priest takes the chalice and paten in his hands and raises them up before us. Then he proclaims the doxology, a prayer of praise and worship:
Through
Him, and with Him, and in Him,
O
God, almighty Father,
in
the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all
glory and honor is Yours,
for
ever and ever.
We channel our worship of God through His Son, Who is now present on the altar, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. We praise the Father with the Son in the unity of the Holy Spirit. We entered into divine life in Christ when we were baptized, and we are about to dive deeply into intimacy with the Blessed Trinity when we receive Jesus in the Eucharist.
We join our hearts in adoration as we gaze upon the Eucharist, and at the end of the doxology, we say or sing “Amen!” We proclaim our “Yes!” to God. We declare, “It is true!” We profess our belief that Jesus is really present. Our “Amen” should ring out with joy and awe that we should receive such a gift.
