TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Eucharistic Prayer II is a popular choice for Mass since it is both simple in structure and short. It is written with a preface, which is the section after the dialogue “The Lord be with you . . . Lift up your hearts . . . Let us give thanks,” which introduces all the Eucharistic Prayers. The preface states the reason for the eucharistic assembly on that occasion, and there are dozens of them covering almost every imaginable gathering for prayer, some specific to feasts, others for Masses for the dead or for other needs. The preface attached to the second Eucharistic Prayer may be dropped in favor of a more appropriate choice, especially one of the prefaces for weekdays. The General In-struction of the Roman Missal says that Eucharistic Prayer II is best suited for weekdays or “special circumstances.” In prac-tice, however, it has become the common Sunday prayer be-cause of its brevity and its comfortable familiarity. It also in-cludes an optional phrase for adding the name of a deceased person remembered in the Mass, and therefore is often prayed at funerals. Article 50 of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy specified that the rites are to be simplified and restored “to the

vigor they had in the tradition of the Fathers.” The rebirth of this ancient Roman prayer is a worthy response to this call. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
