- The salutation is defined on page 142 of the prayer book: "When Morning or Evening Prayer is used as the Liturgy of the Word at the Eucharist, the Nicene Creed may take the place of the Apostles’ Creed, and the officiant may pass at once from the salutation 'The Lord be with you,' and its response, to the Collect of the Day. A Lesson from the Gospel is always included."

ReplyDeleteAlso, I think there was confusion in the conflation of reception of Holy Communion and celebration of the Eucharist. In the practice of the Orthodox Church, the celebration of the Eucharist is considered inappropriate on the fasting weekdays of Lent but Holy Communion is given in the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts on Wednesday and Friday each week, as well as on the Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday of Holy Week; there is no Holy Communion—not even the Presanctified—on Good Friday.
