THE PROSKOMEDE

- 2 -

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
debts, as we forgive our debtors; 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 the ages of ages.

Deacon:

Amen.

Then they say:

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us; for, at a loss
for any defense, this prayer do we sinners offer unto Thee as
Master, have mercy on us.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Lord, have mercy on us; for we have hoped in Thee, be not
angry with us greatly, neither remember our iniquities; but
look upon us now as thou art compassionate, and deliver us
from our enemies; for Thou art our God, and we, Thy
people; all are the works of Thy hands, and we call upon
Thy name.

Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

The door of compassion open unto us, O blessed Theotokos,
for hoping in thee, let us not perish; through thee may we be
delivered from adversities; for thou art the salvation of the
Christian race.
