*section may also be called ''te igutur'', "we come to you, Father"
*all kneel, while the priest extends his hands over the offering 
**asking the Father to bless and accept these gifts
** and calls down the Holy Spirit to consecrate the bread and wine
* from the [https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/the-mass/general-instruction-of-the-roman-missal/girm-chapter-2 GIRM Ch 2]:
** "The epiclesis, in which, by means of particular invocations, the Church implores the power of the Holy Spirit that the gifts offered by human hands be consecrated, that is, become Christ’s Body and Blood, and that the unblemished sacrificial Victim to be consumed in Communion may be for the salvation of those who will partake of it."

*"epiclesis" means "invocation" (calling for assistance)
<blockquote>The Holy Spirit makes present the mystery of Christ

Christian liturgy not only recalls the events that saved us but actualizes them, makes them present. The Paschal mystery of Christ is celebrated, not repeated. It is the celebrations that are repeated, and in each celebration there is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that makes the unique mystery present. ([https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/288/ CC 1104])

The Epiclesis ("invocation upon") is the intercession in which the priest begs the Father to send the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier, so that the offerings may become the body and blood of Christ and that the faithful by receiving them, may themselves become a living offering to God. ([https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/288/ CC 1105]) </blockquote>
*a bell may be rung during the epiclesis to mark the calling down of the Holy Spirit
