The Institution of the Eucharist

The Fifth Luminous Mystery  ·  The Luminous Mysteries, prayed on Thursday

14And when the hour was come, he sat down: and the twelve apostles with him. 15And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer. 16For I say to you that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks and said: Take and divide it among you. 18For I say to you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come. 19And taking bread, he gave thanks and brake and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me. 20In like manner, the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.

Luke 22:14–20, Douay-Rheims (Challoner)

  1. The Our Father, once.
    Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
  2. The Hail Mary, ten times.
    Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
  3. The Glory Be, once.
    Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
  4. The Fatima Prayer, often added after the Glory Be.
    O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. Amen.
