Memorial Acclamation

The Memorial Acclamation is an acclamation sung or recited by the people after the institution narrative of the Eucharist. They were common in ancient eastern liturgies and have more recently been introduced into Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Methodist liturgies. The acclamation references the memorial aspect of the Eucharist, taught by Jesus at the Last Supper: "Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me" (1 Corinthians 11:25). It is additionally linked with the pattern of the anamnesis, which is "that of the Lord's death, resurrection and ascension", along with the Second Coming.
