In the Roman Church, it’s the time in the Mass when the priests puts his two hands close together and places them over the chalice, and in prayer, he invokes the Holy Spirit to come upon the gifts that we are about to present back to the Lord. The deacon (if he is able) kneels at this moment; no one is to stand except the celebrant. It is the beginning of the beautiful transformation of the elements of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. That’s the time of the Epiclesis in our Mass.
