People: Grant it, O Lord.
Deacon:For a Christian ending to our life: painless, blameless, and peaceful; and a good defense before the dread judgment seat of Christ, let us ask of the Lord.
People: Grant it, O Lord.
Deacon:Having asked for the unity of the faith, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, let us commend ourselves and each other, and all our life unto Christ our God.
People:To You, O Lord.
Priest:O God, our God Who saves, You teach us to thank You worthily for the good works which You have done and are doing with us. You, our God, have accepted these gifts. Cleanse us of every defilement of flesh and spirit, and teach us how to mature in sanctification in fear of You; so that, receiving a portion of Your Holy Gifts with a pure conscience, we may be united with the holy Body and Blood of Your Christ. Having received them worthily, may we have Christ dwelling in our hearts, and may we become a Temple of Your Holy Spirit. Yes, O our God, let none of us be guilty of these, Your awesome and heavenly Mysteries, nor be infirm in soul and body by partaking of them unworthily. But grant us, even to our last breath, to receive a portion of Your Holy Gifts worthily, as a provision on the road to eternal life and an acceptable defense at the dread judgment seat of Your Christ. May we also, together with all the saints who through the ages have pleased You, become partakers of Your eternal blessings, which You have prepared for those who love You, O Lord,
Priest: and count us worthy, O Master, that with boldness and without condemnation we may dare to call upon You, the heavenly God, as Father, and to say:
The Lord’s Prayer
All kneel Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Priest:For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
People: Amen.
The Prayer with Heads Bowed
Priest:+ Peace be unto all.
People: And to your spirit.
