Jesus and the disciples after His Resurrection |
Schaff, a Protestant
scholar, gives a credible if somewhat narrow view of Monasticism in the
history of the Church. His view of Islam is even more narrow. God
and His Messiah Jesus Christ our Lord - our right and duty to witness
to Him: HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH* CHAPTER IV. THE RISE AND
PROGRESS OF MONASTICISM.
The point about monasticism is that it is properly the rejection of worldliness in seeking to serve God well.
The
Vatican, as time went on grew more and more enamored of worldly luxury
and even embraced Cabalistic practices and hermeticism as well.
The Cabalistic practices and hermeticism were all on the part of
individuals and on the sly. With Vatican II these abominations have
become the norm. The Mark of the Beast is the Ecumenism of Vatican II.
The Vatican is completely Apostate.
Vatican Gardens in the form of occult symbolism |
heretical and blasphemous damnable practices of Cabalism and
hermeticism, were the House Churches that St. Peter began in Jerusalem
on the day of Pentecost - these are the original and inviolable form of
the Church which is absolutely correct and predates all others and will
survive all others and greet Our Lord Jesus Christ when He returns from
heaven with all His elect angels at His Second Coming.
The breaking of bread is the New Testament reference to the Eucharist instituted by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ...and breaking bread from house to house - the "house to house" refers to the first house churches.
"46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart:
47
Praising God together, and having favour with all the people. And the
Lord added daily to their society such as should be saved." see below
The
Didache shows us that the early Church in the house churches ate a meal
feast, the Agape feast - see above, "took their meat with gladness and
simplicity of heart," and then when that was finished they celebrated
the Eucharist with the presbyter that the congregation had selected as
their Bishop over the congregation.
The Eucharist given
below has both the celebration of the Eucharist from the Didache (which
is scripture given at the council of Jerusalem by the Apostles in 49
A.D. - Acts 15) and the earliest liturgies of two of the Apostles, St.
James and St. Mark, (Apostle in the New Testament is a wider term than
just the twelve) alongside the Didache. The liturgies are the Liturgy of
St. James - these are the prayers that the Apostles prayed in the
Temple before the defilement of the Temple that Our Lord Jesus
Christ prophesied, which defilement occurred 65-68 A.D., and the
resultant eternal destruction in 70 A.D. of the Temple and rejection of
the Jewish Nation that Our Lord Prophesied and Commanded in retribution
for the Jews Perfidy and Deicide; and the Liturgy of St. Mark given at
Alexandria, the third See of Peter. The first two Sees of Peter are
Antioch and Rome in that order.
ACTS 2
CHAPTER II.
The disciples receive the Holy Spirit. Peter's sermon to the people. The piety of the first converts.
1 And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:
2
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind
coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared to them cloven tongues, as it were of fire, and it sat upon each one of them:
4
*And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak
with divers tongues, according as the Holy Spirit gave them to speak.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven.
6
And when this voice was made, the multitude came together, and was
confounded in mind, because that every one heard them speak in his own
tongue.
7 And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying; Behold are not all these, who speak, Galileans?
8 And how have we every one our heard own tongue wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,
11 Jews also, and Proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another; What meaneth this?
13 But others mocking, said; These men are full of new wine.
14
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke
to them: Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell in Jerusalem, be this
known to you, and with your ears receive my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:
16 But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet, Joel;
17
*And it shall come to pass in the last days, (saith the Lord) I will
pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men
shall dream dreams.
18 And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids, will I pour out in those days of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord cometh.
21 *And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
22
Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus, of Nazareth, a man approved
of God among you, by miracles and wonders, and signs, which God did by
him in the midst of you, as you also know;
23 This same being
delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you
have crucified and put to death by the hands of wicked men:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be held by it.
25
For David saith concerning him; *I foresaw the Lord always before my
face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved:
26 For this my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover, my flesh also shall rest in hope:
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy holy one to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29
Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch, David,
*that he died, and was buried: and his sepulchre is with us to this
present day.
30 Whereas, therefore, he was a prophet, and knew
*that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins
one should sit upon his throne,
31 Foreseeing he spoke of the resurrection of Christ, *for neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up again, whereof we are all witnesses.
33
Being exalted, therefore, by the right hand of God, and having received
of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this
which you see and hear.
34 For David ascended not into heaven: but he himself said; *The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
36
Therefore let all the house of Israel know most assuredly, that God
hath made this Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37
Now when they had heard these things they had compunction in their
heart, and they said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles; What
shall we do, men, brethren?
38 But Peter said to them; Do penance,
and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the
remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit.
39 For the promise is to you, and to your children and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with a great many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying; Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
41 They therefore that received his word were baptized: and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42 And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by
the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.
44 And all they that believed were together, and had all things common.
45 They sold their possessions and goods, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.
46
And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread
from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity
of heart:
47 Praising God together, and having favour with all the
people. And the Lord added daily to their society such as should be
saved.

THE VATICAN WHICH HAS ALREADY BECOME TOTALLY APOSTATE AND DIABOLIC AT
THIS POINT.
The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation: 18.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my
people; that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not
of her plagues. … Scripture reference – Jer.: 51:45!; 2 Cor.: 6:17!;
Eph.: 5:7!; 1 Tim.: 5:22
Look up, your redemption is at hand: "Jesus Christ in the Dura-Europos"
WHEN
THE ANTICHRIST SITS IN THE REBUILT TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM, AND HAVING
ALREADY INVADED AND TAKEN OVER THE VISIBLE CHURCH BEFORE THAT, HE WILL
THEN CAUSE ALL WHO WILL NOT WORSHIP HIM TO BE KILLED. IT IS OUR DUTY TO
CHRIST TO RESIST THIS NOW AND AT ALL TIMES TO THE DEATH, THAT IS OUR
MARTYRDOM, RATHER THAN TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST (THE MARK THAT THE
ANTICHRIST SEEKS TO IMPRESS ON MEN). THE MARK IS BOTH AN INVISIBLE MARK
ON THE SOUL, AS WELL AS FINALLY, A PHYSICAL ONE. TAKING EITHER ONE WILL
BE THE CERTAIN CAUSE OF ONE’S DAMNATION FOR ETERNITY.
**************************************************
house churches as in the city of Dura Europos were an example of the
house churches that the church started out in everywhere and will greet
her Lord Jesus Christ from when He returns from heaven at the end of
this age at the time known to God alone.
"Dura-Europos"
The
Dura Europos house churches are simply the house churches that the
early Church met in. In each of these as the Didache (written 49 A.D.)
tells us people selected their own bishops. St. Clement of Rome
(Apostolic Father), in his epistle, tells us the same -- he rebuked a
small group in Corinth for not honoring the bishop that the whole local
congregation had selected.
The
Church began in small house churches and she will great her Lord when
He returns from the same with all the faithful in all the faithful
churches of every size. There is no other ecclesial hierarchy established by Apostolic mandate.
The Didache or Teaching of the Apostles
Didache dates from 49 A.D. from the first and only Church Council in
which the whole Church was represented, that is the Council of Jerusalem
held by the Apostles themselves (see Acts 15 and 21:25). It was given
at that Council to the Church by the Apostles. It was held as Scripture
by the Church until and including the 4th century A.D. From then until
the present a number of churchmen have done what they could to ignore it
or sideline it, but there has always been those of the body of Christ,
His Church, who have maintained the Didache and its teaching. Witness in
the Church Fathers includes St. Irenaeus, who without any reservation,
teaches that it is the inspired order of rule in the Church by the
Apostles themselves. Witness has continued until and including in the
present in various churches to it as the inspired scripture that, in
fact, it is. It always must be included with the rest of the New
Testament.
“See of Peter” {Antioch, Rome and Alexendria} means the
Apostolic preaching of Peter and his approval of the first bishop in that
locale (or in the case of Alexandria, the approval of St. Mark the Evangelist,
disciple of St. Peter and St. Paul and who brought the Gospel there, the one
preached by St. Peter with inclusions from that preached by St. Paul; the
Gospel of St. Luke is the one St. Paul preached). Peter
the Apostle and Paul the Apostle were neither of them Bishop of Rome
brother of the Lord (elected by the congregation and not specifically taught by
Peter). Jerusalem
was always and is the mother of the churches. The Keys given by Our Lord to
Peter and the Apostles, Gospel of St. Matthew Chapter 16:19 and mandate to all
the Apostles and all believers, Chapter 18:16-20, belong to all the churches
beginning with the house churches of Jerusalem
on the day of Pentecost.
Heresy
the hands of Christ – see: Apocalypse (Revelation) 1:18. These Keys are the
Keys of the Davidic Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, and He and no one else
always has absolute sovereignty over them. Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ will give them any time to whoever He will and no earthly power nor
earthly Bishop nor Primate nor “Pope” can restrain that nor change that. Notice
that the first Petrine decision of Peter the Apostle after being given the Keys
was utterly condemned, Matthew 16:23, by Our Lord Jesus Christ as being from
Satan as it would have prevented the salvation of all men. There is no one to
whom we owe any obedience other than Our Lord Jesus Christ who is the only head
over His Church. See: The
Papacy by L'Abbe Réné-Francois Guettée
is Eudios, one of the Seventy Disciples of the Lord. Ignatius was next (who was
the child that Our Lord took up in His arms and blessed: Mark 9:35 “And taking
a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith
to them” Matthew 18:1 “At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying:
Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And
Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of
them, 3 And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and
become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever
therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the
kingdom of heaven. 5 And he that shall receive one such little child
in my name, receiveth me.”) and was taught by St. Peter.
blessed apostles Peter and Paul, then, having founded and built up the Church,
committed into the hands of Linus the office of the episcopate Bishop. Of this
Linus, Paul makes mention in the Epistles to Timothy.” St. Irenaeus, Against
Heresies Book 3, Chapter 3.
Paul) brought the Apostolic witness and teaching to Alexandria. The first
Bishop of Alexandria after St. Mark is Annianus.
In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
give Thee thanks, yea, more than thanks, O Lord our God, the Father of
our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ, for all Thy goodness at all
times and in all places, because Thou hast shielded, rescued, helped,
and guided us all the days of our lives, and brought us unto this hour,
permitting us gain to stand before Thee in Thy holy place, that we may
implore forgiveness of our sins and propitiation to all Thy people. We
pray and beseech Thee, merciful God, to grant in Thy goodness that we
may spend this holy day and all the time of our lives without sin, in
fullness of joy, health, safety, holiness, and reverence of Thee. But
all envy, all fear, all temptation, all the influence of Satan, all the
snares of wicked men every spirit visible and invisible thereof, do
Thou, O Lord, drive away from us, and from Thy Holy Catholic and
Apostolic Church each of us holding Thou the head Christ Jesus Our Only
Lord and Saviour alone. Bestow upon us, O Lord, what is good and meet.
Whatever sin we commit in thought, word, or deed, do Thou in Thy
goodness and mercy be pleased to pardon. Leave us not, O Lord, while we
hope in Thee; nor lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil
one and from all his works and minions, through the grace, mercy, and
love of Thine only-begotten Son. O Sovereign Lord Christ Jesus, the
co-eternal Word of the eternal Father, who wast made in all things like
as we are, but without sin, for the salvation of our race; who hast sent
forth Thy holy disciples and apostles to proclaim and teach the Gospel
of Thy kingdom, and to heal all disease, all sickness among Thy people,
be pleased now, O Lord, to send forth Thy light and Thy truth. Enlighten
the eyes of our minds, that we may understand Thy divine oracles. Fit
us to become hearers, and not only hearers, but doers of Thy word, that
we, becoming fruitful, and yielding good fruit from thirty to an hundred
fold, may be deemed worthy of the kingdom of heaven. Let Thy mercy
speedily overtake us, O Lord. For Thou art the bringer of good tidings,
the Saviour and Guardian of our spirits, souls and bodies and we offer
glory, thanks, and the “Thrice Holy Hymn” to Thee, the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit, now, henceforth, and for evermore. Holy God, holy almighty,
holy immortal. Holy, holy, holy, O Lord of Sabaoth, the heaven and the
earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest; blessed is He that
cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest, Look down in
mercy and compassion, O Lord, and heal the sick among Thy people. May we
and all our brethren who have gone or who are about to go abroad,
safely reach their destination in due season and come home again safely
at all times. Send down the gracious rain upon the thirsty lands, and
make the rivers flow in full stream, according to Thy grace. The fruits
of the land do Thou, O Lord, fill with seed and make ripe for the
harvest. In peace, courage, justice, and tranquillity preserve the
kingdom of Thy servants, all priesthood of the faithful and kings upon
the earth, whom Thou hast deemed worthy to reign over this earth. From
evil days, from famine and pestilence, from the assault of barbarians,
defend, O Lord, this Christ-loving city Thy body Christ Jesus Our Only
Lord and Saviour, lowly and worthy of Thy compassion, as Thou didst
spare Nineveh of
old. For Thou art full of mercy and compassion, and rememberest not the
iniquities of men against them. Thou hast said through Thy prophet
Isaiah, I will defend this city, to save it for mine own sake, and for
my servant David’s sake. Wherefore we pray and beseech Thee to defend in
Thy good mercy this city, for the sake of Thee confessed by patriarchs,
prophets, martyrs, disciples, apostles, evangelists and saints from
Adam on, Thou who has shown us the way of salvation through the grace,
mercy, and love of Thee only-begotten Son Jesus Christ Our Only Lord and
Saviour. Through whom and with whom be glory and power to Thee MOST
BLESSED LORD YAHWEH GOD IMMORTAL Abba Our Father, with Thy all-holy,
good, and life-giving Spirit our Paraclete. Guide and direct in all
peace from above in Thy Righteousness the kings, armies, magistrates,
councils, peoples, and neighborhoods, and all our outgoings and
incomings.
O
King of Peace Baruch Adonai Yahweh Elohim Melek Olam eth, grant us Thy
peace in unity and love. May we be Thine, O Lord; for we know no other
God but Thee, and name no other name Baruch Adonai Yahweh Eloheinu
Yahweh Echad, Thou YAHWEH, YESHUA, RUACH YAHWEH but Thine Our Father and
the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Give life unto the souls of
all of us, and let no deadly sin prevail against us, or against all Thy
people.
Look
down in mercy and compassion, O Lord, and heal the sick among Thy
people. Deliver them and us, O Lord, from sickness and disease, and
drive away the spirit of weakness.
Raise up those who have been long afflicted, and heal those who are vexed with unclean spirits.
Have
mercy on all who are in prison, or in mines, or on trial, or condemned,
or in exile, or crushed by cruel bondage or tribute. Deliver them, O
Lord, for Thou art our God, who settest the captives free; who raisest
up the downtrodden; who givest hope to the hopeless, and help to the
helpless; who liftest up the fallen; who givest refuge to the
shipwrecked, and vengeance to the oppressed. Pity, relieve, and restore
every Christian soul that is afflicted or wandering. But do Thou, O
Lord, the physician of our spirits, souls and bodies, the guardian of
all flesh, look down, and by Thy saving power heal all the diseases of
spirit, soul and body.
Guide
and prosper our brethren who have gone or who are about to go abroad.
Whether they travel by land, or river, or lake, by public road, or in
whatever way journeying, bring them everywhere to a safe and tranquil
haven. Be pleased to be with them by land, sea and air, and restore them
in health and joy to joyful and healthful homes.
Ever defend, O Lord, our journey through this life from trouble and storm.
Send down rich and copious showers on the dry and thirsty lands.
Gladden and revive the face of the earth, that it may spring forth and rejoice in the raindrops.
Make the waters of the river flow in full stream.
Gladden and revive the face of the earth with the swelling waters.
Fill all the channels of the streams, and multiply the fruits of the earth.
O Lord, the fruits of the earth, and keep them safe and unharmed. Fill
them with seed, and make them ripe for the harvest.
Bless
even now, O Lord God Our Father, Thy yearly crown of blessing for the
sake of the poor of Thy people, the widow, the orphan, and the stranger,
and for the sake of all of us who have our hope in Thee and call upon
Thy holy name; for the eyes of all are upon Thee, and Thou givest them
bread in due season.
O
Thou who givest food to all flesh, fill our hearts with joy and
gladness, that at all times, having all sufficiency, we may abound to
every good work in Thou Christ Jesus Our Only Lord and Saviour. O Only
Sovereign King of kings and Lord of lords, defend the kingdom of Thy
servants, we Thine orthodox believers and who love Thee Christ Thy
priesthood and kings, whom Thou hast deemed worthy to reign over these
lands in peace, courage, and justice.
Subdue
under us, O Lord, every enemy and adversary, whether at home or abroad.
Gird on Thy shield and armour, and rise to our aid guide us in all
things to do what is gracious and pleasing in Thy sight. Draw Thy sword,
and help us to fight against them that persecute us. Shield us in the
day of battle, and grant that the fruit of our loins one like to us in
Thee may sit upon Thy throne with Thee and us.
Be kind to us, O Lord, for the sake of Thy love for Thy Holy and Apostolic Church,
all Thy Christ-loving people, that we too in Thy peaceful reign may
live a calm and tranquil life, in all reverence and godliness.
O
Lord our God, give peace to the souls of our fathers and brethren who
have fallen asleep in Jesus, remembering our forefathers of old, our
fathers, patriarchs, prophets, apostles, martyrs, confessors, bishops,
and the souls of all the holy and just men who have died in the Lord.
Be
mindful, O Lord, of the return of the back-sliding, and of every
Christian soul that is afflicted and oppressed, and in need of Thy
divine mercy and help.
Be
mindful, O Lord, of our brethren in captivity. Grant that they may find
mercy and compassion with those who have led them captive and immediate
release and return home in peace and health and happiness.
Be mindful also of us, O Lord, Thy sinful and unworthy servants, and blot out our sins in Thy goodness and mercy.
Be
mindful also of me, Thy lowly, sinful, and unworthy servant, and in Thy
mercy blot out my sins. Be with us, O Lord, who minister unto Thy holy
name.
Bless our meetings, O Lord.
Utterly uproot all idolatry all witchcraft from the world.
Crush under our feet Satan and all his minions, and all their wicked influence.
Humble now, as at all times, the enemies of Thy Church Thou and us, unto immediate absolute total complete destruction.
Lay bare their pride.
Speedily show them their weakness.
Bring to naught the wicked plots they contrive against us.
Arise, O Lord, and let Thine enemies be scattered, and let all who hate Thy holy name be put to flight. +
Do Thou bless a thousand times ten thousand Thy faithful and orthodox people while they do Thy holy will.
Deliver
the captive; rescue the distressed feed the hungry; comfort the
faint-hearted, convert the erring; enlighten the darkened; raise the
fallen; confirm the wavering; heal the sick; and guide them all, good
Lord, into the way of salvation, and into Thy sacred fold. Deliver us
from our iniquities; protect and defend us at all times.
Bless those who do us good for the sake of Thy Most Holy Name Christ Jesus Our Only Lord and Saviour.

O
Lord, have mercy. Holy, holy, holy, O Lord God of Sabaoth, the heaven
and the earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest; blessed is
He that cometh in the name of the Lord Christ Jesus Our Only Lord and
Saviour. Hosanna in the highest. Remember also, O Lord, our holy fathers
and brethren in it, and the bishops in all the world, who rightly
divide the word of Thee Christ Jesus the only truth.
Remember also, O Lord, every city and country, and those of the true faith dwelling in them, their peace and security.
Remember,
O Lord, Christians sailing, traveling by land and traveling by air,
sojourning in strange lands; our fathers and brethren, who are in bonds,
prison, captivity, and exile; who are in mines, and under torture, and
in bitter slavery.
Remember,
O Lord, the sick and afflicted, and those troubled by unclean spirits,
their speedy healing from Thee, O God, and their salvation.
Remember,
O Lord, every Christian soul in affliction and distress, needing Thy
mercy and succour, O God; and the return of the erring.
Remember, O Lord, our fathers and brethren, toiling hard, and ministering unto us, for Thy holy name’s sake.
Remember
all, O Lord, for good; have mercy on all, O Lord, be reconciled to us
all; give peace to the multitudes of Thy people; put away scandals;
bring wars to an end; make the uprising of heresies to cease; grant Thy
peace and Thy love to us, O God our Saviour, the hope of all the ends of
the earth destroying the great apostasy.
Remember,
O Lord, favourable weather, peaceful showers, beneficent dews,
abundance of fruits, and to crown the year with Thy goodness; for the
eyes of all wait on Thee, and Thou givest their food in due season; thou
openest Thy hand, and fillest every living thing with gladness.
Remember,
O Lord, those who bear fruit, and labour honourably in the holy of Thy
Church; and those who forget not the poor, the widows, the orphans, the
strangers, and the needy; and all who have desired us to remember them
in our prayers.
Moreover,
O Lord, be pleased to remember those who have brought these offerings
this day to Thy holy altar Thou Christ Jesus Our Only Lord and Saviour,
and for what each one has brought them or with what mind, and those
persons who have just now been mentioned to Thee.
Remember,
O Lord, according to the multitude of Thy mercy and compassion, me
also, Thy humble and unprofitable servant; and those who surround Thee
Thyself Thy holy altar, and graciously give us a blameless life, keep
our ministries undefiled, and purchase for us a good degree, that we may
find mercy and grace, with all the saints that have been well pleasing
to Thee since the world began, to generation and generation-grandsires,
sires, patriarchs, prophets, apostles, martyrs, confessors, teachers,
saints, and every just spirit made perfect in the faith of Thee O Holy
and Only Christ Jesus Our Saviour Sovereign Lord of all.
Make
the end of our lives Christian, acceptable, blameless, and peaceful, O
Lord, gathering us together, O Lord Jesus Christ Our Only Lord and
Saviour, under the feet of Thee joining us with Thine elect, when Thou
wilt, and as Thou wilt; only without shame and transgressions, through
Thee only-begotten Son, our only Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
for He is the only sinless one who hath appeared on the earth, a
propitiation for our transgressions and the errors of the people; and
for the rest of the souls that have fallen asleep aforetime; that we
also, Thy humble, sinful, and unworthy servants, being counted worthy
without guile to serve Thee Holy Altar Christ Jesus, may receive the
reward of faithful and wise stewards, and may find grace and mercy in
the terrible day of Thy just and good retribution. For the peace and
establishing of the whole world, and of the holy churches of God, and
for the purposes for which each one made his offering, or according to
the desire he has; and for the people standing round, and for all men,
and all women at the moment of conception and all Thy repentant +;
Forgive,
remit, pardon, O God, our transgressions, voluntary and involuntary; in
deed and in word; in knowledge and in ignorance; by night and by day;
in thought and intent; in Thy goodness and love, forgive us them all.
Through the grace and compassion and love of Thy only-begotten Son, with
whom Thou art blessed and glorified, together with the all-holy, and
good, and quickening Spirit, unceasingly and now and always, and unto
the eternal ages to come in Thy recreated universe in the future at Thy
Parousia Christ Jesus Our Only Lord and Saviour. For the remission of
our sins, and the propitiation of our spirits, souls and bodies, and for

Then the celebrant prays: Verily
it is becoming and right, proper and due to praise Thee, to sing of
Thee, to bless Thee, to worship Thee, to glorify Thee, to give Thee
thanks, Maker of every creature visible and invisible, the treasure of
eternal good things, the fountain of life and immortality, God and Lord
of all:
Whom the heavens of heavens praise, and all the host of them; the sun,
and the moon, and all the choir of the stars; earth, sea, and all that
is in them; Jerusalem, the heavenly assembly, and church of the
first-born that are written in heaven; spirits of just men and of
prophets; souls of martyrs and of apostles; the six-winged seraphim,
which cover their faces with two wings, their feet with two, and with
two they fly, crying one to another with unresting lips and the
many-eyed cherubim, kuriotetes, arches, especially St. Michael and St.
Gabriel, exousias, dunameis and angelos with unceasing praises: Holy,
holy, holy, O Lord God Pantocrator
(Aloud.) With loud voice singing the victorious hymn of Thy majestic glory, crying aloud, praising, shouting, and saying:-
The People: Holy,
holy, holy, O Lord of Sabaoth, the heaven and the earth are full of Thy
glory. Hosanna in the highest; blessed is He that cometh in the name of
the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
The celebrant, making the sign of the cross on the gifts + , says: Holy
art Thou, King of eternity, and Lord and giver of all holiness; holy
also Thy only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom Thou hast
made all things; holy also Thy Holy Spirit, which searches all things,
even Thy deep things, O God: holy art Thou, almighty, all-powerful,
good, dread, merciful, most compassionate to Thy creatures; who didst
make man from earth after Thine own image and likeness; who didst give
him the joy of paradise; and when he transgressed Thy commandment, and
fell away, didst not disregard nor desert him, O Good One, but didst
chasten him as a merciful father, call him by the law, instruct him by
the prophets; and afterwards didst send forth Thine only-begotten Son
Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ, into the world, that He by His coming
might renew and restore Thy image;
Who, having descended from heaven, and become flesh of the Holy Spirit
and Virgin Godmother Mary, and having sojourned among men, fulfilled the
dispensation for the salvation of our race; and being about to endure
His voluntary and life-giving death by the cross, He the sinless for us
the sinners, in the night in which He was betrayed, nay, rather
delivered Himself up for the life and salvation of the world,
taken the bread in His holy and pure and blameless and immortal hands,
lifting up His eyes to heaven, and showing it to Thee, His God and
Father, He gave thanks, and hallowed, and brake, and gave it to us, His
disciples and apostles, saying:-
(here break the bread)
The Deacons say: For the remission of sins and life everlasting.
Then he says aloud: Take, eat: this is my body, broken for you, and given for remission of sins.
The People: Amen.
Then he takes the cup, and says: In
like manner, after supper, He took the cup, and having mixed wine and
water, lifting up His eyes to heaven, and presenting it to Thee, His God
and Father, He gave thanks, and hallowed and blessed it, and filled it
with the Holy Spirit, and gave it to us His disciples, saying, Drink ye
all of it; this is my blood of the new testament shed for you and many,
and distributed for the remission of sins.
The People: Amen.
The celebrant: This
do in remembrance of me; for as often as ye eat this bread, and drink
this cup, ye do show forth the Lord’s death, and confess His
resurrection, till He come.
The Deacons say: We believe and confess:
The People: We show forth Thy death, O Lord, and confess Thy resurrection.
The celebrant (Oblation): Remembering,
therefore, His life-giving sufferings, His saving cross, His death and
His burial, and resurrection from the dead on the third day, and His
ascension into heaven, and sitting at the right hand of Thee, our God
and Father, and His second glorious and awful appearing, when He shall
come again with glory to judge the quick and the dead, and render to
every one according to His works; even we, sinful men, offer unto Thee, O
Lord, this dread and bloodless sacrifice, praying that Thou wilt not
deal with us after our sins, nor reward us according to our iniquities;
But
that Thou, according to Thy mercy and Thy unspeakable loving-kindness,
passing by and blotting out the handwriting against us Thy suppliants,
wilt grant to us Thy heavenly and eternal gifts (which eye hath not
seen, and ear hath not heard, and which have not entered into the heart
of man) that thou hast prepared, O God, for those who love Thee; and
reject not, O loving Lord, the people for my sake, or for my sin’s sake:
Then he says, thrice: For Thy people and Thy Church supplicate Thee.
The People: Have mercy on us, O Lord our God, Father Almighty.
Again the celebrant says (Invocation): Have
mercy upon us, O God Almighty. Have mercy upon us, O God our Saviour
Jesus Christ Our Lord. Have mercy upon us, O God, according to Thy great
mercy, and send forth on us, and on these offered gifts, Thy all-holy
Spirit.
Then, bowing his neck, he says: The
sovereign and quickening Spirit, that sits upon the throne with Thee,
our God and Father, and with Thy only-begotten Son, reigning with Thee;
the consubstantial and co-eternal; that spoke in the law and in the
prophets, and in Thy New Testament; that descended in the form of a dove
on our Lord Jesus Christ at the river Jordan, and abode on Him; that
descended on Thy apostles in the form of tongues of fire in the upper
room of the holy and glorious Zion on the day of Pentecost: this Thine
all-holy Spirit, send down, O Lord, upon us, and upon these offered holy
gifts;
And rising up, he says aloud: That coming, by His holy and good and glorious appearing, He may sanctify this bread, and make it the holy body of Thy Christ.
The People: Amen.
The celebrant: And this cup the precious blood of Thy Christ.
The People: Amen.
FROM IT ALL OF YOU, THIS THE CUP THE NEW COVENANT IS IN THIS MY BLOOD
WHICH IS BEING SHED FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, THIS DO AS
OFTEN AS YOU DRINK IN THIS MY ANAMNESIN
give You thanks, Father, for the fragrant ointment Your Holy Spirit our
Paraclete which You have made known to us through Jesus Your servant;
to you be the glory unto the endless ages of ages to come. Amen.
