- 4The way in which their elders and priests administered Christ’s flesh and blood to the congregation. They administered it according to Christ’s commandments, so we know that the way they did it is correct. The elder or priest administered it. 2They knelt down with the congregation and prayed to the Father in the name of Christ, saying: 3O God the Eternal Father, we ask You in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ to bless and sanctify this bread for the souls of all those who partake of it, so they can eat in remembrance of Your Son’s body and show to You, O God the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon themselves the name of Your Son, and always remember Him, and keep His commandments He has given them, so they can always have His Spirit to be with them. Amen.
