Parts of the Holy Mass 4. The Liturgy of the Holy Eucharist - The Epiclesis This is the major part of the Eucharistic Prayer. In the epiclesis, the priest asks the Father to send the Holy Spirit on the gifts of bread and wine so that, through the power of the Spirit, they may become the Body and Blood of Christ. This same Spirit will transform those attending the liturgy that they may grow in their unity with each other, with the whole Church, and with Christ. A video excerpt in Hausa of Epicles
