The Invocation of the Holy Spirit

The celebrant waves his hands over the Mysteries, and bowing down his head, says silently:
Yea, O Lord, have mercy upon me, and hear me at this time and send, from Your high heaven, Your Holy Spirit that He may sanctify this spiritual Eucharist; the Holy Spirit Who is of one substance and honor with You, Who appeared like a dove upon Your Only-begotten Son in the Jordan River and Who rested like fiery tongues upon Your holy apostles in the Upper Room. May He also, according to the abundance of Your grace, perfect me into a chosen vessel that is fit for the service of Your honor.

The celebrant stretches out his hands and, looking upward, says aloud:
Answer me, O Lord; answer me, O Lord; answer me, O Lord; O Good One, have compassion and mercy upon me.

People: Kyrie eleison. Kyrie eleison. Kyrie eleison.

The celebrant stretches out his left hand and waves his right hand over the Body and says aloud:
May He (the Holy Spirit), while blessing and sanctifying, complete this bread into the Body + + + of Christ the God.

People: Amen.

The celebrant waves his right hand over the chalice, saying:
And this cup into the Blood + + + of Christ the God

People: Amen.

The Diptychs

The celebrant, with outstretched hands, says aloud:
So that these Holy Mysteries may be for the absolution of offenses, for the forgiveness of sins, for the confidence and the shameless standing before Your awful judgment seat, for the glory and the edification of Your Holy Church and for the preservation of her children without sins forever and ever.

People: Amen.

The celebrant says silently:
Lord God, I bow down before You at this time and beseech Your compassion. Help me, save me and absolve my sins, my iniquities and all the trespasses committed by me as a man clothed in flesh. Accept from my hands this glorious and bloodless sacrifice. Exalt the horn of Your Holy Church throughout the four corners of the world. Preserve in peace and tranquillity all the days of their lives, her orthodox pastors, in particular, our Patriarch: our father Mor Ignatius and our father Mor (N),⁷ our father Mor Basilius⁸ and our prelate Mor (N)⁹ with the rest of all the orthodox bishops and by Your grace purify the honorable priest, the deacons and all the ranks of the altar.

Canon of the Living Fathers of the Church.

The deacon stands in the Royal Entrance and intones Canon of the Living Fathers:
Barekhmor. Let us pray and beseech our Lord and our God at this great, awful and holy time for all our fathers and leaders who are ruling over us this day and in this present life, who tend and rule the Holy Churches of God in the four corners of the world; our, venerable and blessed Patriarch: Mor Ignatius  and Mor (N), Mor Basilius and our Prelate Mor (N), that they may be confirmed by God with the rest of all the orthodox bishops. May their prayers be a stronghold for us. Let us beseech the Lord.

People: Kyrie eleison.

The Prayer of the Kiss of Peace¹

The celebrant, with crossed hands, says aloud:
O Lord God Almighty, Who are the True and Holy Love, make us worthy, during all the days of our life, to be bound with and enjoy Your divine love. And as we give peace to one another with a holy kiss, may we become unto You a glorious and undefiled flock, free from all disgrace in Christ Jesus our Lord, Your Only-begotten Son, with Whom befit glory, honor and dominion with Your Holy Spirit, now, always and forever.

People: Amen. Barekhmor.

Celebrant: Peace be with you all.

People: And with your spirit.

Deacon: Barekhmor. Let us give peace to one another, everyone to his neighbor with a holy and divine kiss, in the love of our Lord and God.

People: Make us worthy, O Lord and God, of this peace all the days of our lives.

Deacon: After this holy and divine peace which has been given, let us once again bow down our heads before the merciful Lord.

People: Before You, our Lord and our God.

The celebrant, with crossed hands, says aloud:
Before You, O Lord, we have bowed the necks of our souls and bodies, entreating and beseeching Your compassion that You may grant us the riches of Your grace and kindness. And may Your pity and help sustain us all the days of our lives by the grace, mercy and love toward mankind of Your Only-begotten Son with Whom befit You glory and honor with Your Holy Spirit, now, always and forever.

People: Amen.

The celebrant, with crossed hands, says aloud:
O God the Holy Father, Who sent Your Only-begotten Son for the salvation of us, weak sinners and miserable ones, and by His Lordly Blood, He brought us back, we who were lost, to Your spiritual fold; we entreat You, O Lord, to accept from the hands of us sinners, this fearful and bloodless sacrifice and through it pardon the sins and the transgressions which have been committed by us through Your grace and the goodness of the will of Your only-begotten Son with Whom befit You glory and honor with Your Holy Spirit, now, always and forever.

People: Amen.

The celebrant waves the shushefo (veil) over the elements.

Deacon: Barekhmor. Let us stand well, let us stand with fear, let us stand with modesty, purity and holiness and let us all stand, my brethren, in love and true faith. Let us intelligently behold, with the fear of God, this awesome and Holy Eucharist which is being set before us by this reverend priest² who, in peace and tranquillity, offers this living sacrifice on behalf of us all to God the Father, Lord of all.

People: Mercy, peace and a sacrifice of thanksgiving.

The celebrant lifts up the shushefo (veil) and waves it three times over the elements, saying in a low voice:³
You are the hard rock which sent forth twelve rivers of water for the twelve tribes of Israel. You are the hard rock which was set against the tomb of our Savior.

The celebrant puts his left hand on the altar, turns to the people and blesses them, saying:⁴
The love of God the Father +, the grace of the Only-begotten Son + and the fellowship and descent of the Holy Spirit + be with you all, my brethren, forever.

People: Amen. And with your spirit.

The celebrant, extending and elevating his hands, says aloud:
Upward, where Christ sits on the right hand of God the Father, let our thoughts, minds and hearts be at this hour.

People: They are with the Lord God.

Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord in awe.

People: It is meet and right.

The celebrant bows down his head, waves his hands over the elements, and says in a low voice:
Truly, all glory, all thanksgiving, all praise, all exaltation and all honor befit You, O Maker of all things, God the Father, with Your Only-begotten Son and with Your Holy Spirit.

The celebrant stretches out his hands and says aloud:
In truth, O Lord, the angels, archangels, principalities, rulers, thrones, dominions, incorporeal power, the cherubim and the seraphim all bless, glorify, praise and honor You with all the heavenly orders hailing, shouting and crying with one consent and saying:

People: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty; heaven and earth are full of His glories. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He Who came and will come in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

The celebrant, waving his hands over the elements, prays silently:
Holy, holy, holy are You, O Father Almighty, with the Son Who is of You and Your Holy Spirit. You, while we were lost due to the transgression of the commandment, did sent Your Only-begotten Son for our help, and by His redemptive passions brought us back to our former inheritance and redeemed us by His Divine Blood.

The celebrant takes the host from the paten with his right hand. He puts it on the palm of his  left hand, and raising his eyes skyward, says aloud:
When He, by His grace, came to the passion in the flesh for our sake, He, in Whom there is no sin, took bread in His Holy hands, looked toward heaven and gave thanks. He blessed + + and sanctified + and broke and said to his disciples: This is My Body; take, eat for your propitiation and that of all the true faithful and for everlasting life.

People: Amen.

The celebrant takes the chalice with both hands, then he holds it with his left hand and makes over it the sign of the Cross three times. Then he puts the second finger of his right hand on its edge and tilts it crosswise, saying:
Likewise, also the cup blended with wine and water; He gave thanks, blessed + + and sanctified + and gave to His holy disciples, and said: This is My Blood of the New Covenant; take, drink of it all of you for your propitiation and that of all the true faithful and for everlasting life.

People: Amen.

The celebrant takes the gomouro⁵ from the northern side with his left hand; then he takes the spoon from the southern side with his right hand and puts it on the gomouro. He now raises them with his right hand to remind the faithful of the Lord's second coming, which will be like a flash of lightning, and puts them on the southern side. Then he places the sponge on the northern side and says aloud:
Whenever you fulfill these My commandments, preach My death and My resurrection until I come.⁶

People: Your death, our Lord, we commemorate, Your resurrection we confess and Your second coming we wait for. May Your mercy be upon us all.

The celebrant, with crossed hands, says aloud:
Our Lord Jesus Christ, remembering all Your redemptive dispensation for our sake, namely Your conception, Your birth, Your holy baptism, Your redeeming passion,Your life-giving death, Your burial for three days, Your glorious resurrection, Your ascension into heaven, Your sitting at the right hand of God the Father and Your fearful, awful and lordly coming in which You will judge everyone according to his deeds; we entreat You, O Lord, in that awe inspiring hour and at that time of fearfulness and trembling, to save us and have mercy upon us by Your compassion. Absolve our debts by Your grace, forgive our sins by Your mercy and blot out our iniquities by Your holy hyssop. On account of this, Your Church and Your flock beseech You, and with You and through You to Your Father, saying:

People: Have mercy upon us, O God, Father Almighty. We glorify You, we bless You, we worship You and we beseech You. O Lord our God, have compassion and mercy upon us, O Good One.

The celebrant, stretching out his hands at equal level and gazing upward, says silently:
We also, O Lord, Your weak and sinful servants, offer You thanksgiving and acknowledge You all and for all.

People: We glorify You, we bless You, we worship You, O Lord God, and we beseech You for mercy. Have mercy upon us.

Deacon: Barekhmor, How awful is this hour and how dreadful is this moment, my beloved, wherein the Holy Spirit from the topmost heights takes wing and descents and hovers and rests upon this Eucharist here present and sanctifies it. Be in calm and awe, while standing and praying. Pray that peace may be with us and for all of us tranquillity.

People: May peace be with us and tranquillity to all of us.
