is the fundamental part of the Mass as it embodies the Consecration, the great act of sacrifice itself. The whole of the Canon is said by the priest in an inaudible voice. Its intention is to re-enact vividly what Christ did by anticipation at the Last Supper. The method followed is to use, as nearly as possible, our Lord's own words and actions. Everything from the beginning of the preface to the Amen before the Our Father forms one single eucharistic prayer and action, although in the present Mass it is broken up into several separate prayers and parts. 1, record 18, English, - Canon

est le nom donné à la prière la plus importante de la Messe. L'unité de la prière est infrangible, de la salutation solennelle qui commence la préface à la conclusion doxologique, et ce n'est que dans la préface que son thème majeur est développé : l'eucharistie au sens d'action de grâces et de bénédiction. Le concile de Trente explique que le Canon s'est constitué des paroles du Seigneur, des traditions des apôtres, et des saints et des pieuses intentions des pontifes. 1, record 18, French, - Canon
