Rite of Preparation (62)
Fixed

Penitential prayer, psalmody, and priestly preparation before the sanctuary rites begin.

1

Therefore we pray and beseech of Thy goodness, O Lover of mankind.

2

Bless this holy cross-spoon, purify it, and fill it with the precious blood, so that it may be a holy chosen vessel for drinking the blood of Thine only-begotten Son, who is worthy of glory and praise. Amen.

3

Fill it with power, and make it a chosen vessel, purify this spoon. Amen. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, unto unending ages. Amen.

5

My brother, think of your sins, and ask forgiveness so that you may obtain mercy before leaving the church, where the (ministers offer) the pure sacrifice on their own behalf, as well as yours.

6

Do not separate your (attention) from the priest who prays and offers (the sacrifice) on your behalf, so that you may not be turned out with the unbaptized whom they (will later) dismiss; rather, stay in the church, and listen to the word of the priest, and hear him who asks forgiveness on behalf of you and all sinners, that their God may grant pardon unto them.

7

O man, if you want to receive forgiveness of your sins, why would you leave the church while another is bowing and asking for mercy on your behalf?

8

And why are you idle? At such a time, why would you let your mind wander from place to place? You who are sealed with the seal of the heavenly bridegroom, even Christ.

9

But the church will dismiss you and shut her doors against you, so that you shall never enter, because no stranger will be found in her.

10Priest

When her Bridegroom comes, she shall open to Him her doors, and His bride feeds the Bridegroom. But the stranger shall not eat, because it is not given to him.

11

Who has seen a bridegroom who at his wedding, sacrifices his body and is fed on forever?

12

The Son of God has done something new in the world. No one, except for Him, has done anything like Him since the creation of the world. At His wedding He has ordained on the table, before His guests, His holy body and His precious blood as a banquet, so that they may eat thereof, and so that he who believes in Him may live forever.

13

The meat and drink is our Lord Jesus Christ at His wedding. Blessed be our God, Who has given us His holy body and precious blood for the forgiveness of sins, that we may live thereby for ever. Glory be to Him, unto the ages of ages.

14

Psalm 130 Lord, my heart is not haughty... And afterwards he shall say this:

15

O Lord our God, Thou alone art holy, Who has bestowed Thy holy things on all of us by Thine invisible power.

16

Yea, Lord, we pray and beseech Thee to send the Holy Spirit upon this church and upon this ark, and upon all the holy vessels whereon Thy precious mystery will be celebrated.

17

And now, bless, sanctity, purity them from all uncleanness and stain through the forgiveness of the second birth that they may be forever free from the least association of defilement and uncleanness.

18

And make this church and this ark, chosen vessels, clean, and pure, refined seven times from all spot and stain and uncleanness of transgressors like the cleansing of silver from earth, refined and purified and tested.

19

And grant that on them, when they are clean and holy, be performed the Sacrament of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto endless ages. Amen. St. Gregory’s Prayer, before entering the veil

20

O Lord our God, Who knows all the thoughts of man, and tries the heart and reins: because Thou has called me to serve Thee in this Thy holy place, though I am unworthy,

21

Reject me not, nor turn Thy face from me, but take away my sins, and cleanse me from the uncleanness of my soul and my body.

22

And now I pray Thee and beseech Thee to blot out my wickedness, and the iniquity of Thy people, and lead me, lest I enter into temptation.

23

Yea, Lord, cast me not away, nor let me be put to shame in my hope, but rather send down upon me the grace of the Holy Spirit, and make me worthy to stand in Thy sanctuary, and to offer unto Thee a pure sacrifice with simple heart for the forgiveness of my sins and trespasses.

24

And remember not the iniquity of Thy people. And grant rest unto our ancestors, our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep.

25

Keep and strengthen Thy people by Thy power, for Thine is the glory with Thine only-begotten Son, unto the ages of ages. Amen. Then the priest shall enter into the sanctuary, and prostrate himself once beyond the veil, and say the Prayer of Basil over the cabinets as he opens them.

26

O Lord our God and our Creator, Who made all through Thy word, Who has permitted us to enter into this mystery, Who did form man through Thy wisdom, and make him prince over all creatures to rule them in righteousness and truth:

27

Grant us the wisdom which dwells in Thy treasuries, create in us a clean heart, O Lord; forgive us our sins, hallow our souls and our bodies, prepare us to approach Thy sanctuary that we may offer unto Thee a sacrifice and a sweet spiritual incense for the forgiveness of Thy people's sins.

28Priest

O our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who has raised us from the earth and lifted us up from the dust, to set us with Thine angels and with the princes of Thy people:

29

Make us worthy to serve the word of Thy holy Gospel through Thy love and the multitude of tender mercies, and strengthen us to fulfill Thy will at this hour. We offer to Thee a sacrifice of a sweet savour, and the spiritual fruit which please Thy goodness.

30

Grant us Thy forgiveness and mercy; and accept this spotless sacrifice; and send Thy Holy Spirit on us and upon our offering to glorify it.

31

O Thou only-begotten Son, our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ, glory be to Thee, unto the ages of ages. Amen. Then he shall enter and prostrate himself three times in front of the ark and say the Prayer of John Chrysostom:

32

Who art higher than every glory, Who raised the humble from the earth and exalted them to heaven, Who did lead us unto a new way for our salvation through the multitude of Thy mercies:

33

O merciful One, Lover of mankind, Who by Thy will has granted us, Thy poor people, to know Thy holy mystery:

34

O Lord our God, the Good One, the lover of man, accept our prayer, make us worthy to enter Thy hallowed sanctuary and in true faith to read the mysteries of Thy words which befit Thy service.

35

Shine upon us with the light of Thy glory which destroys in us the thoughts of wickedness and the acts of sin, and send upon us the grace of the Holy Spirit, the consuming fire unto which the creatures of fire cannot approach, which destroys the wicked mind and burns up sins.

36

Grant understanding to the eyes of our hearts, and keep our lips from evil speech; give us peace and teach us righteousness, because Thou art our raiment, and the healer of our diseases and the maker of our nature:

37

And make us worthy of this Thy holy mystery, remove from us every evil thought and the lusts which war against our soul that we may offer to Thee a sacrifice and a sweet heavenly savour without blemish or defilement, through the multitude of Thy mercies and compassion and glory, and complete this heavenly mystery, which exceeds all mysteries.

38

To Thee we offer glory, majesty, honour with Thy kind heavenly Father, and with Thy life-giving Holy Spirit, unto endless ages. Amen. Prayer over all the Vessels of the Church

39

O Lord our God, good, merciful and holy, Who rests among the holy ones, Who of Thy goodness did order Moses, Thy beloved, to take the blood and sprinkle it over the vessels of the tabernacle:

40

We now pray and beseech Thee, O gracious One and lover of man, to sanctify these vessels by the Holy Spirit and the sprinkled blood of Jesus Christ.

41

That these vessels may be pure for Thy service. This rite is a holy rite, and truly these mysteries are life-bearing.

42

This is to be the holy body and the precious blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, because Thy holy name is holy and full of glory, O holy Trinity, both now and ever and to the ages of ages.

43Priest

O God, our Lord and our Saviour Jesus Christ, to Whom belong the treasuries full of compassion and mercy, giver of good things to all that trust in Thee, Who did spread out the heavens by Thy wisdom, and give diverse laws to the firmament, the clouds, and the heavens, the line whereof has not changed:

44

Now also, our God, lover of man, send down Thine hand and the power of Thy divinity upon these cloths which will cover Thy holy body, Thou Who sent power on the cloths which were wrapped around Thy holy body in the tomb. Let these also be made like those that are in heaven. For Thine is the glory and the power and the might, with Thy good Father and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen. Prayer over the Paten

45

O Lord our good and life-giving God, Who did stretch forth Thy holy hands on the tree of the cross, lay Thy holy hand upon this Paten which is full of goodness, and on which food of a thousand years is prepared by those who love Thy holy Name.

46

Now also, Lord our God, bless and sanctify and purify this Paten which is full of coals of fire, Thy holy body, which we offer on the holy altar in this holy apostolic church, for Thine is the glory with Thy good heavenly Father, and the Holy Spirit, the life-giver, both now and ever and unto endless ages. Amen. Prayer over the Chalice

47

O Lord our God, Jesus Christ our God, Who truly was made man, Whose godhead was not separated from Thy manhood, Who did shed Thy blood willingly for the sake of Thy handiwork, lay Thy holy hand over this chalice.

48

Now also, bless it, consecrate it and cleanse it that in it may be prepared Thy precious blood so that this (pointing) may be for life and forgiveness of sin to all those who drink of it in faith.

49

Lord our God, who made Thy servant Isaiah the Prophet worthy to see the Seraph with the tongs in his hand, with which he took live coal from the altar, and placed it on his mouth:

50

Now also, Lord our God, the almighty Father, lay Thy hand on this Cross-spoon for the communion of the holy body and the precious blood of Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

51

Now bless it, sanctify it, and purify it, give to this Cross-spoon power and glory as Thou gave the tongs of the Seraph; for Thine is the glory and dominion with Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, both now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. Prayer over the Masob

52

O Lord our God, who said unto Moses Thy servant and prophet on Mount Sinai, “Make a custom pot and set it into My tabernacle.”

53

Now also, Lord our God almighty, stretch forth Thy holy right hand over this Masob, fill it with power, might, also with the grace of the Holy Spirit and with Thy glory, so that it may carry the holy body of Thine only-begotten Son into this holy apostolic church; for Thine is the glory with Thine only-begotten Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

54

Then he shall begin to dress the ark and cover the altar and the chalice with clean covering. He shall not leave anything uncovered. He shall choose the incense and put it in the incense box. At the time of dressing the altar and putting everything in place, the priest shall say:

55

O God, Thou art He who knows the hearts of each and all, Thou art the holy One Who rests among the holy ones Who alone is without sin and mighty, even the forgiver of sin.

56

Because Thou knows, O Lord, that I am unworthy, and unclean for this Thy holy ministry, and that I have not the countenance wherewith to make an offering to Thee and open my mouth before Thy holy glory, but, according to the multitude of Thy mercies, forgive my sins, for I am a sinner.

57

Grant me to find grace and mercy in this hour, and send me Thy power from on high that I may be worthy to accomplish Thy holy ministry according to Thy will and Thy good pleasure, and that this incense may be a sweet smelling savour (pointing to the incense box).

58

O Lord, be with us, and bless us, for Thou art the forgiver of our sins and the light of our souls, even our life, our strength, hope, and refuge, and to Thee we send up, as unto the highest, thanksgiving, honour and worship be to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto ages of ages.

59

O Lord our God, Who has taught us this great mystery which is for our salvation, Thou art He Who has called us, Thy lowly servants, although we are unworthy, to be ministers at Thy holy altar, Do Thou, our Master, make us fit by the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish this ministry and the “Preparatory Service”, so that, without falling into judgment, in the presence of Thy great glory, we may offer unto Thee an oblation of glory, praise, and great joy in Thy sanctuary.

60Asst. Priest

Lord our God Who art almighty, we pray and beseech Thee for them that bring an oblation within the one holy universal church, a sacrifice, firstfruits, tithes, a thank-offering, a memorial, whether much or little, in secret or openly, and for those who wish to give and have not wherewith to give, Thine acceptance of their ready mind, grant Thou unto every one:

61

O Lord, giver of salvation, and source of grace, Who works all in all; to every one, grant us, Lord, that our gift may be acceptable in Thy sight.

62

for these Thy holy things are holy according to the gift of the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord, to Whom with Thee and the Holy Spirit, the life giver, Who is coequal with Thee, are due honour, glory and power, both now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Hallelujah, as for me, I will come unto Thy house in the multitude of Thy mercy, and in Thy fear I worship toward Thy holy temple. I will praise Thee, O Lord, with my whole heart for Thou has heard all the words of my mouth. Before Thine angels will I sing praise unto Thee, and I will worship towards Thy holy temple. Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Thy saints shout for joy. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from any sin. Cleanse Thou me from secret faults, keep back Thy servant from presumptuous sins. Thou gave them the bread of heaven, man did eat angels’ food. I will wash my hands in innocence:

If he presumptuously and irreverently enters he should be deposed from his rank and driven out of the church. But if he is well acquainted with the teachings of the Holy Spirit, knowing the“Abtlisat,” let him enter.

3

Our Father who art in heaven... Second: Before he vests himself completely, let him turn to the people and look to see if there is a deacon for service; because it is not right for the priest to take off his vestments after having vested, should there be no deacon to help in the service. When he wishes to put on the qamis, he should be sure that it is neither too long nor short, for it is not right to take it off after having vested. Then he shall put on the “Akmam”, and gird it with the cincture. He shall concentrate his mind on the service; he shall not allow it to wander about on the business of the world, nor suffer it in any wise to go out of the door of the temple. If the servant is vigilant in the service of his master, how much more worthy of service should be the Lord of all creation ?

4

If the archbishop or bishop is present, the priest shall take his vestments to him to be blessed, then he shall vest. But if neither is present, the priest shall himself bless them and vest.

5

The vestments for the service of the qiase shall be white and not coloured.

6

At the time of service there is to be not one candle only, but two: one at each side of the altar, whether they are small or big. Instead of the third candle let them light the “Qandil,” because the rule is to use two candles. These two candles signify the honour and majesty of the bread and wine.

7

On Sunday let them bring in four loaves, but on other days three only. The loaves shall not be broken and shall be without any blemish.

8

When he pours the wine into the chalice, he shall observe carefully and take note if it be good or not. He who prepares the chalice shall not add old wine, shall not add water more than one third, but if there is much wine he shall add one tenth only. He shall not depart from the measure of this proportion.

9

First of all the priest shall wash his hands, and not drying them, he shall pass his wet hands over and upon the bread without benediction, then begin with “The Prayer of thanksgiving.”

10

Let him be watchful and attentive to the bread, so that by the time for the people to receive communion that it may still be warm.

11

All the faithful, who gathered to partake of the holy sacrament, have to stand quietly in the church to hear the word of God. No one is allowed to speak or laugh, because the church is not a place of conversation, but a place of prayer.

12

He who laughs at the time of qidase, shall be punished for one week, if he is a priest; but if he is a layman he shall be driven out at once, and shall not receive the Holy Communion.

14Priest

How awesome is this day and how marvelous this hour wherein the Holy Spirit will descend from heaven and overshadow and hallow this sacrifice.

15Congregation

Hallelujah! If there be anyone of the faithful who has entered the church at the time of qidase and has not heard the holy Scriptures, and has not waited until they finish the prayer of the qidase, and has not received the holy communion, let him be driven out of the church for he has violated the law of God and disdained to stand before the heavenly King, the King of body and spirit. This the Apostles have taught us in their canons.

16Priest

Remember, O Lord, those who offered unto Thee this offering, and those for whom it was offered. Give them all the heavenly reward,

17

and above all, accept before Thee Thy servant who offered it to Thee this day; as Thou accepted the sacrifice of Abel the righteous, the sacrifice of our father Abraham, and the two mites of the widow.

18

So accept the gifts of Thy servants, whether much or little, in secret or openly, and fill their houses with all Thy good things; and as they remembered Thy holy name on earth, remember them in Thy heavenly kingdom; and in this world do not forsake them forever.

19Congregation

Thou art the pot of pure gold, wherein is hidden the manna, the bread which came down from heaven, giving life unto all the world.

20Congregation

Halleluia! Joseph and Nicodemus wrapped with linen cloths Jesus, Who rose from the dead in wondrous fashion. The priest, processing around with the Host, shall say:

21Priest

Blessed Lord “Euvlogios Kyrios” Jesus Christ, Holy One, Iesus Xristos Hagios, truly fulfilling all prophecy, manteion, panimantown, alatinown.” Amen.

22

Christ, our very God, sign with Thy right hand, bless as with Thine own hand, sanctify with Thy power and strengthen with thy Spirit, so that this bread will be for the remission of sins of Thy people. Amen.

23Asst. Priest

Jesus Christ, the High Priest, just as Joseph and Nicodemus wrapped Thee in linen cloths and spices, and Thou was well-pleased in them, in like manner be well-pleased in us.

24Priest

May the hallowing, thanksgiving and the exaltation be accepted by God the Father, for the remission of sin. Amen. Power, blessing and great light, and holiness be to this church.

25Priest

26Deacon

The Lord shepherds me, and nothing is denied me. 2 He settles me in verdant pasturage, and raises me on refreshing water. 3 He converts my soul, and guides me toward a course of righteousness for His Name’s sake. 4 For even as I pass through the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me. 5 Thou has prepared a table before me in the face of those who trouble me. 6 Thou has anointed my head with oil. Even Thy chalice which inebriates me, how glorious it is! 7 Thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. 8 And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord unto the length of days.

27

Now also let it be blessed, hallowed, and pure, so that it may become the life of soul, body, and spirit at all times.

28Priest

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, be with us; and fill the wine with joy and happiness, for goodness, for life, for salvation and for the remission of sin, for understanding, for healing, for the counsel of the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto unending ages. Amen.

29

Purity, sweetness and blessing be to them who honestly drink of Thy precious blood. Amen.

30

Then he shall make the sign of the cross with his hands over the host and say:

31Priest

And blessed be the only Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

32Congregation

Amen.

33Priest

And blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the comforter and cleanser of us all.

34Congregation

35Priest

Glory and honour are due to the holy Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, always coequal, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

36Priest

My fathers and my brothers, pray for me and for this sacrifice.

37Asst. Priest

May God hear you in all that you have asked and accept your sacrifice and offering like the sacrifice of Melchisedec and Aaron and Zacharias, the priests of the church of the firstborn.

38

The priest shall turn to the assistant priest, joining hands with him, as he says:

39Asst. Priest

May the Lord keep your priesthood and accept your sacrifice and offering with a gracious countenance.

40

Then the priest shall stand upright, and, with his face to the east, stretching forth his hands, shall chant with a loud voice:

41Congregation

Truly the Father is holy, truly the Son is holy, truly the Holy Spirit is holy.

42Priest

Praise the Lord, all ye nations. People: And praise him, all ye people. Priest: For his merciful kindness is great toward us.

43Congregation

The seraphim worship Him, and the cherubim praise Him and cry saying:

For this cause we pray and entreat of Thy goodness, O lover of man, grant us to complete this holy day and all the days of our life in all peace along with Thy fear. All envy, all trial, all the working of Satan, the counsel of evil, and all the uprisings of adversaries, secret and open,

All good things, that are expedient and excellent, command Thou for us, for Thou art He Who has given us power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon all the power of the enemy.

Master, Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son, the Word of God the Father, Who has broken off from us all the bonds of our sins through Thy life-giving and saving sufferings, Who breathed upon the face of Thy holy disciples and pure ministers saying to them:

Thou therefore, O Lord, has now granted the priesthood to Thy pure ministers who always do the priests’ office in Thy holy church that they may remit sin on earth, may bind and loosen all the bonds of iniquity.

Prepare for us the way of Thy mercy, break and sever all the bonds of our sins, whether we have trespassed against Thee, O Lord, wittingly or unwittingly, whether in deceit or in vileness of heart, whether in deed or in word or through limited understanding, for Thou knows the feebleness of man.

O good lover of man and Lord of all creation, grant us, O Lord, forgiveness of our sins, bless us and purify us, set us free and absolve all Thy people (here he shall mention those recently departed), and fill us with the fear of Thy name, and confirm us in doing Thy will.

In Mary virgin pure the Father was well pleased, and he decked her to be a tabernacle for the habitation of His beloved Son.

267Asst. Priest

Glory be to Thee, Lord our God almighty, who has made us ready to hear the word of Thy holy Gospel and greet it and rejoice in it, again we ask and beseech that Thou should write the word of Thy holy gospel in our hearts,

268

And accept our prayers in this Thy temple, wherein our Lord Jesus Christ has entered, and send Thy mercy and Thy compassion upon us and upon Thy people, through Thine only-begotten Son, for Thine is the glory and power, unto the ages of ages. Amen.

269Priest

Bless, O Lord, the portion of the gospel of _______ the disciple and apostle of our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the living God; to Him be glory continually, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

270

When reading the word of God at the time of prayer and at the time of qedasi there must be silence and awe, except for praise and sanctification, from the beginning to the end, for hearing the word of the holy Gospel of the heavenly King. When the message of an earthly king is being read, no one may speak, or if presumptuously he does speak, he will suffer punishment and tribulation, how much greater punishment will he suffer who speaks while the message of the heavenly King is being read ?

271

When the priest finishes reading, the priests and deacons shall greet the gospel. and so also shall all the people after them saying:

272

While each person is saluting the gospel, he ought to uncover his head. If unable to uncover one’s head during all the rest of the time of prayer and qidase, he should do it at this time. Even anyone who has not this good custom, should do it at least at this time of greeting the gospel.

Arise, Lord my God, and let Thine enemies be scattered, and let them that hate Thy holy and blessed Name flee before Thee.

312Priest

a thousand thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, doing Thy will at all times, through Thine only-begotten Son, through Whom to Thee, with Him and with the Holy Spirit, be glory and dominion, both now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

313Deacon

Let us all say, in the wisdom of God, the prayer of faith.

314

We believe in one God, maker of all creation, Father of our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ, because His nature is unfathomable.

315

As we have before declared, He is without beginning and without end, rather He is ever living, and He has light which is never extinguished, and it can never be approached.

316

He is not two or three, and no addition can be made to Him; but He is unique, living for ever, it is not because He is hidden that He cannot be known, but we know Him perfectly through the law and the prophets, that He is almighty and has authority over all the creation.

317

One God, Father of our Lord and our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who was begotten before the creation of the world, the onlybegotten Son, coequal with Him, creator of all the hosts, the principalities and the dominions.

318

Who in the last days was pleased to become man, and took flesh from our Lady Mary, the holy Virgin, without the seed of man, and grew like men yet without sin or evil, neither was guile found in his mouth.

319Congregation

Then He suffered, died in the flesh, rose from the dead on the third day, ascended unto heaven, to the Father Who sent him, sat down at the right hand of Power, sent to us the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, Who proceeds from the Father, and saved all the world, and Who is coeternal with the Father and the Son.

320

We say further that all the creatures of God are good and there is nothing to be rejected, both the spirit, and the life of the body, is pure and holy in all.

321

And we say that marriage is pure, and childbirth is undefiled, because God created Adam and Eve to multiply. We understand further that there is in our body a soul, which is immortal and does not perish with the body.

322Congregation

We repudiate all the works of heretics and all schisms and transgression of the law, because they are for us impure.

323Congregation

We also believe in the resurrection of the dead, the righteous and sinners; and in the day of judgement, when everyone will be recompensed according to his deeds.

324

We also believe that Christ is not in the least degree inferior because of His incarnation, but He is God, the Word, who truly became man, and reconciled mankind to God, being the high priest of the Father.

325

Henceforth, let us not be circumcised like the Jews. We know that He who had to fulfil the law and the prophets has already come.

326Congregation

To Him, for whose coming all people looked forward, Jesus Christ, Who is descended from Judah, from the root of Jesse, Whose government is upon His shoulder: to Him be glory, thanksgiving, greatness, blessing, praise, song, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

327Priest

He that is pure let him receive of the oblation, and he that is not pure let him not receive it, that he may not be consumed by the fire of the godhead which is prepared for the devil and his angels. Whoever has revenge in his heart and whoever maintains in him strange thoughts and fornication let him not draw near.

328Priest

And after washing his hands, while facing West, as he sprinkles water from his wet hands, he shall say: As I have cleansed my hands from outward pollution, so also I am pure from the blood of you all. If you presumptuously draw nigh to the body and blood of Christ I will not be responsible for your reception thereof. I am pure of your wickedness, but your sin will return upon your head if you do not draw nigh in purity.

329Deacon

If there be any who disdains this word of the priest, laughs, speaks, or stands in the church in an impudent manner, let him know and understand that he is provoking to wrath our Lord Jesus Christ, and bringing upon himself a curse instead of a blessing, and will get from God the fire of hell instead of the remission of sin.

330Priest

O my Lord and my God, author of the law, giver of peace and love, take away from me every evil thought, revenge, envy, and all the lusts of the flesh. Make me ready to be added to Thy holy servants who pleased Thee by the beauty of their lives in the days of love and peace.

331

Because it is Thou Who did come down from heaven and make peace between the inhabitants of heaven and the inhabitants of earth, and did gather together all Thy people to glorify Thee, for Thine is the glory, unto the ages of ages. Amen.

332

The washing of the celebrant’s hands is like the washing of Pilate’s hands, who did it to be innocent of the pure blood. Thus, the priest dramatically admonishes the faithful regarding all of the previous prayers of the qidase, including, the Psalms of David, the Epistles of Paul, the General Epistles, the Book of Acts of the Apostles, and the Gospel. At other times, the priest is available to assist individuals to prepare. After giving this admonition, he will be innocent of the sin of anyone who receives the holy mystery without due self-examination. See 1Corinthians 11: 23-33, on one’s personal responsibility for preparation to partake of this awesome mystery. The Apostle Paul is talking about the self-examination that should precede one’s confession of sins to the priest in the mystery of Repentance. That separate service is explained in Mt. 4: 17; 18: 18; Lk 24:47; John 20: 21-24 and James 5: 16

333Deacon

Arise for prayer.

“Prayer of Salutation” of St. Basil: God, great eternal, Who did form man incorrupt,

338Priest

Thou did abolish death that came first through the envy of Satan, by the advent of Thy living Son our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ,

339

And Thou did fill all the earth with Thy peace which is from heaven, wherein the armies of heaven glorify Thee saying:

340Priest

O Lord, in Thy goodwill fill the hearts of us all, and purify us from all corruption and from all excess, and from all revenge and envy, and from all wrongdoing and from the remembrance of ill which clothes with death.

341

And make us all ready to salute one another with a holy salutation.

342Deacon

Pray for the perfect peace and love. Salute one another with a holy salutation.

343

At this time the priests shall salute (bow towards) priests; the deacons shall salute deacons; the men shall salute each other; and the women shall salute each other.

344Priest

And to partake, without condemnation, of Thy holy immortal heavenly gift, through Jesus Christ our Lord

345

Through whom to Thee with Him and with the Holy Spirit be glory and dominion, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

346

The priests and deacons who have not attended the night prayer are not allowed to enter the temple (maeqdaes) to take part in the service. Those who disobey this commandment will become transgressors of the law.

Entrance chant and opening offertory remembrance as the liturgy gathers its focus.

1Priest

How awesome is this day and how marvelous this hour wherein the Holy Spirit will descend from heaven and overshadow and hallow this sacrifice.

2Congregation

Hallelujah! If there be anyone of the faithful who has entered the church at the time of qidase and has not heard the holy Scriptures, and has not waited until they finish the prayer of the qidase, and has not received the holy communion, let him be driven out of the church for he has violated the law of God and disdained to stand before the heavenly King, the King of body and spirit. This the Apostles have taught us in their canons.

3Priest

Remember, O Lord, those who offered unto Thee this offering, and those for whom it was offered. Give them all the heavenly reward,

4

and above all, accept before Thee Thy servant who offered it to Thee this day; as Thou accepted the sacrifice of Abel the righteous, the sacrifice of our father Abraham, and the two mites of the widow.

5

So accept the gifts of Thy servants, whether much or little, in secret or openly, and fill their houses with all Thy good things; and as they remembered Thy holy name on earth, remember them in Thy heavenly kingdom; and in this world do not forsake them forever.

Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me. 5 Thou has prepared a table before me in the face of those who trouble me. 6 Thou has anointed my head with oil. Even Thy chalice which inebriates me, how glorious it is! 7 Thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. 8 And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord unto the length of days.

Now also let it be blessed, hallowed, and pure, so that it may become the life of soul, body, and spirit at all times.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, be with us; and fill the wine with joy and happiness, for goodness, for life, for salvation and for the remission of sin, for understanding, for healing, for the counsel of the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto unending ages. Amen.

4

Purity, sweetness and blessing be to them who honestly drink of Thy precious blood. Amen.

We do not depend upon our righteousness but upon Thy mercy, O Thou who has loved our race. We pray and beseech of Thy goodness, O lover of man, that this mystery, which Thou prepared for our salvation, may not be for the condemnation of us Thy servants and all

63Congregation

64Priest

Grant that they may be Thine, that without slothfulness or hindrance they may do Thy holy and blessed will, making it an abode of prayer, an establishment of purity and a place of blessing. Grant us also, Lord, we Thy servants, and to them that shall come after us, length of days to the end of the world.

65

The assistant priest offers the censer to the celebrant who shall take it and cense over the altar three times.

66

Arise, Lord my God, and let Thine enemies be scattered, and let them that hate Thy holy and blessed Name flee before Thee.

67Priest

a thousand thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, doing Thy will at all times, through Thine only-begotten Son, through Whom to Thee, with Him and with the Holy Spirit, be glory and dominion, both now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

68Deacon

Let us all say, in the wisdom of God, the prayer of faith.

69

We believe in one God, maker of all creation, Father of our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ, because His nature is unfathomable.

70

As we have before declared, He is without beginning and without end, rather He is ever living, and He has light which is never extinguished, and it can never be approached.

71

He is not two or three, and no addition can be made to Him; but He is unique, living for ever, it is not because He is hidden that He cannot be known, but we know Him perfectly through the law and the prophets, that He is almighty and has authority over all the creation.

72

One God, Father of our Lord and our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who was begotten before the creation of the world, the onlybegotten Son, coequal with Him, creator of all the hosts, the principalities and the dominions.

73

Who in the last days was pleased to become man, and took flesh from our Lady Mary, the holy Virgin, without the seed of man, and grew like men yet without sin or evil, neither was guile found in his mouth.

74Congregation

Then He suffered, died in the flesh, rose from the dead on the third day, ascended unto heaven, to the Father Who sent him, sat down at the right hand of Power, sent to us the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, Who proceeds from the Father, and saved all the world, and Who is coeternal with the Father and the Son.

75

We say further that all the creatures of God are good and there is nothing to be rejected, both the spirit, and the life of the body, is pure and holy in all.

76

And we say that marriage is pure, and childbirth is undefiled, because God created Adam and Eve to multiply. We understand further that there is in our body a soul, which is immortal and does not perish with the body.

77Congregation

We repudiate all the works of heretics and all schisms and transgression of the law, because they are for us impure.

78Congregation

We also believe in the resurrection of the dead, the righteous and sinners; and in the day of judgement, when everyone will be recompensed according to his deeds.

79

We also believe that Christ is not in the least degree inferior because of His incarnation, but He is God, the Word, who truly became man, and reconciled mankind to God, being the high priest of the Father.

80

Henceforth, let us not be circumcised like the Jews. We know that He who had to fulfil the law and the prophets has already come.

81Congregation

To Him, for whose coming all people looked forward, Jesus Christ, Who is descended from Judah, from the root of Jesse, Whose government is upon His shoulder: to Him be glory, thanksgiving, greatness, blessing, praise, song, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

82Priest

He that is pure let him receive of the oblation, and he that is not pure let him not receive it, that he may not be consumed by the fire of the godhead which is prepared for the devil and his angels. Whoever has revenge in his heart and whoever maintains in him strange thoughts and fornication let him not draw near.

83Priest

And after washing his hands, while facing West, as he sprinkles water from his wet hands, he shall say: As I have cleansed my hands from outward pollution, so also I am pure from the blood of you all. If you presumptuously draw nigh to the body and blood of Christ I will not be responsible for your reception thereof. I am pure of your wickedness, but your sin will return upon your head if you do not draw nigh in purity.

84Deacon

If there be any who disdains this word of the priest, laughs, speaks, or stands in the church in an impudent manner, let him know and understand that he is provoking to wrath our Lord Jesus Christ, and bringing upon himself a curse instead of a blessing, and will get from God the fire of hell instead of the remission of sin.

85Priest

O my Lord and my God, author of the law, giver of peace and love, take away from me every evil thought, revenge, envy, and all the lusts of the flesh. Make me ready to be added to Thy holy servants who pleased Thee by the beauty of their lives in the days of love and peace.

86

Because it is Thou Who did come down from heaven and make peace between the inhabitants of heaven and the inhabitants of earth, and did gather together all Thy people to glorify Thee, for Thine is the glory, unto the ages of ages. Amen.

87

The washing of the celebrant’s hands is like the washing of Pilate’s hands, who did it to be innocent of the pure blood. Thus, the priest dramatically admonishes the faithful regarding all of the previous prayers of the qidase, including, the Psalms of David, the Epistles of Paul, the General Epistles, the Book of Acts of the Apostles, and the Gospel. At other times, the priest is available to assist individuals to prepare. After giving this admonition, he will be innocent of the sin of anyone who receives the holy mystery without due self-examination. See 1Corinthians 11: 23-33, on one’s personal responsibility for preparation to partake of this awesome mystery. The Apostle Paul is talking about the self-examination that should precede one’s confession of sins to the priest in the mystery of Repentance. That separate service is explained in Mt. 4: 17; 18: 18; Lk 24:47; John 20: 21-24 and James 5: 16

“Prayer of Salutation” of St. Basil: God, great eternal, Who did form man incorrupt,

93Priest

Thou did abolish death that came first through the envy of Satan, by the advent of Thy living Son our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ,

94

And Thou did fill all the earth with Thy peace which is from heaven, wherein the armies of heaven glorify Thee saying:

95Priest

O Lord, in Thy goodwill fill the hearts of us all, and purify us from all corruption and from all excess, and from all revenge and envy, and from all wrongdoing and from the remembrance of ill which clothes with death.

96

And make us all ready to salute one another with a holy salutation.

97Deacon

Pray for the perfect peace and love. Salute one another with a holy salutation.

98

At this time the priests shall salute (bow towards) priests; the deacons shall salute deacons; the men shall salute each other; and the women shall salute each other.

99Priest

And to partake, without condemnation, of Thy holy immortal heavenly gift, through Jesus Christ our Lord

100

Through whom to Thee with Him and with the Holy Spirit be glory and dominion, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

101

The priests and deacons who have not attended the night prayer are not allowed to enter the temple (maeqdaes) to take part in the service. Those who disobey this commandment will become transgressors of the law.

Creed, Uncovering, Kiss of Peace (34)
Fixed

The faithful confess the Creed and prepare for the anaphora with the kiss of peace.

1Deacon

Let us all say, in the wisdom of God, the prayer of faith.

2

We believe in one God, maker of all creation, Father of our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ, because His nature is unfathomable.

3

As we have before declared, He is without beginning and without end, rather He is ever living, and He has light which is never extinguished, and it can never be approached.

4

He is not two or three, and no addition can be made to Him; but He is unique, living for ever, it is not because He is hidden that He cannot be known, but we know Him perfectly through the law and the prophets, that He is almighty and has authority over all the creation.

5

One God, Father of our Lord and our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who was begotten before the creation of the world, the onlybegotten Son, coequal with Him, creator of all the hosts, the principalities and the dominions.

6

Who in the last days was pleased to become man, and took flesh from our Lady Mary, the holy Virgin, without the seed of man, and grew like men yet without sin or evil, neither was guile found in his mouth.

7Congregation

Then He suffered, died in the flesh, rose from the dead on the third day, ascended unto heaven, to the Father Who sent him, sat down at the right hand of Power, sent to us the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, Who proceeds from the Father, and saved all the world, and Who is coeternal with the Father and the Son.

8

We say further that all the creatures of God are good and there is nothing to be rejected, both the spirit, and the life of the body, is pure and holy in all.

9

And we say that marriage is pure, and childbirth is undefiled, because God created Adam and Eve to multiply. We understand further that there is in our body a soul, which is immortal and does not perish with the body.

10Congregation

We repudiate all the works of heretics and all schisms and transgression of the law, because they are for us impure.

11Congregation

We also believe in the resurrection of the dead, the righteous and sinners; and in the day of judgement, when everyone will be recompensed according to his deeds.

12

We also believe that Christ is not in the least degree inferior because of His incarnation, but He is God, the Word, who truly became man, and reconciled mankind to God, being the high priest of the Father.

13

Henceforth, let us not be circumcised like the Jews. We know that He who had to fulfil the law and the prophets has already come.

14Congregation

To Him, for whose coming all people looked forward, Jesus Christ, Who is descended from Judah, from the root of Jesse, Whose government is upon His shoulder: to Him be glory, thanksgiving, greatness, blessing, praise, song, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

15Priest

He that is pure let him receive of the oblation, and he that is not pure let him not receive it, that he may not be consumed by the fire of the godhead which is prepared for the devil and his angels. Whoever has revenge in his heart and whoever maintains in him strange thoughts and fornication let him not draw near.

16Priest

And after washing his hands, while facing West, as he sprinkles water from his wet hands, he shall say: As I have cleansed my hands from outward pollution, so also I am pure from the blood of you all. If you presumptuously draw nigh to the body and blood of Christ I will not be responsible for your reception thereof. I am pure of your wickedness, but your sin will return upon your head if you do not draw nigh in purity.

17Deacon

If there be any who disdains this word of the priest, laughs, speaks, or stands in the church in an impudent manner, let him know and understand that he is provoking to wrath our Lord Jesus Christ, and bringing upon himself a curse instead of a blessing, and will get from God the fire of hell instead of the remission of sin.

18Priest

O my Lord and my God, author of the law, giver of peace and love, take away from me every evil thought, revenge, envy, and all the lusts of the flesh. Make me ready to be added to Thy holy servants who pleased Thee by the beauty of their lives in the days of love and peace.

19

Because it is Thou Who did come down from heaven and make peace between the inhabitants of heaven and the inhabitants of earth, and did gather together all Thy people to glorify Thee, for Thine is the glory, unto the ages of ages. Amen.

20

The washing of the celebrant’s hands is like the washing of Pilate’s hands, who did it to be innocent of the pure blood. Thus, the priest dramatically admonishes the faithful regarding all of the previous prayers of the qidase, including, the Psalms of David, the Epistles of Paul, the General Epistles, the Book of Acts of the Apostles, and the Gospel. At other times, the priest is available to assist individuals to prepare. After giving this admonition, he will be innocent of the sin of anyone who receives the holy mystery without due self-examination. See 1Corinthians 11: 23-33, on one’s personal responsibility for preparation to partake of this awesome mystery. The Apostle Paul is talking about the self-examination that should precede one’s confession of sins to the priest in the mystery of Repentance. That separate service is explained in Mt. 4: 17; 18: 18; Lk 24:47; John 20: 21-24 and James 5: 16

“Prayer of Salutation” of St. Basil: God, great eternal, Who did form man incorrupt,

26Priest

Thou did abolish death that came first through the envy of Satan, by the advent of Thy living Son our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ,

27

And Thou did fill all the earth with Thy peace which is from heaven, wherein the armies of heaven glorify Thee saying:

28Priest

O Lord, in Thy goodwill fill the hearts of us all, and purify us from all corruption and from all excess, and from all revenge and envy, and from all wrongdoing and from the remembrance of ill which clothes with death.

29

And make us all ready to salute one another with a holy salutation.

30Deacon

Pray for the perfect peace and love. Salute one another with a holy salutation.

31

At this time the priests shall salute (bow towards) priests; the deacons shall salute deacons; the men shall salute each other; and the women shall salute each other.

32Priest

And to partake, without condemnation, of Thy holy immortal heavenly gift, through Jesus Christ our Lord

33

Through whom to Thee with Him and with the Holy Spirit be glory and dominion, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

34

The priests and deacons who have not attended the night prayer are not allowed to enter the temple (maeqdaes) to take part in the service. Those who disobey this commandment will become transgressors of the law.

18

Grant us. Lord, wisdom, power, reason, understanding and knowledge, that we may depart and flee for evermore from all works of Satan, the tempter.

19

Grant us, Lord, to do Thy will and good pleasure at all times, and write our names in the book of life in the kingdom of heaven with all saints and martyrs, through Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom to Thee with Him and the Holy Spirit be glory and dominion, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages.

I believe, I believe I believe and I confess, unto my last breath, that this (pointing) is the body and blood of our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ, which He took from the Lady of us all, the holy Mary of twofold virginity, and made it one with His godhead without mixture or confusion, without division or alteration; and He verily confessed with a good testimony in the days of Pontius Pilate, and this body He gave up for our sakes and for the life of us all.

22People

Amen.

23Priest

24People

Amen.

25Priest

30

And by the provision of sin he slew me. Avenge me of the audacious one who is not satisfied with my being led astray from my life.

But for the sake of Thy plan, and Thine incarnation for my salvation, for the sake of thy precious cross and Thy life- giving death, for the sake of Thy resurrection on the third day, I pray thee and beseech Thee, O my Lord, that Thou would purge me from all guilt and curse, and from all sin and defilement.
