Divine Liturgy of St BasilÁ-? The First Litany of the Faithful - 39 -
The Prayer for the Catechumens before the Holy Anaphora
Priest:
O Lord our God who dwellest in the heavens
and lookest down upon all Thy works; look down
upon Thy servants the Catechumens, who have
bowed their necks before Thee, and grant them an
easy yoke. Make them honorable members of Thy
holy Church; and vouchsafe them the laver of
regeneration, the remission of sins, and the
garment of incorruption, unto the knowledge of
Thee, our true God
.
As the priest maketh the exclamation, He maketh the sign of the
cross with the sponge over the antimins and kisseth the sponge.
Exclamation:
Priest:
That they also with us
may glorify Thy most
honorable and majestic
name: of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit: now and ever, and
unto the ages of ages.
People: Amen.
