Deacon:
As many as are
Catechumens, depart;
Catechumens, depart; as
many as are Catechumens
depart. Let none of the
Catechumens remain; as
many as are of the faithful,
again and again, in peace let
us pray to the Lord.
People: Lord, have mercy.

The First Prayer of the Faithful*
Priest:
Thou, O Lord, hast shown unto us this great
mystery of salvation. Thou hast vouchsafed us, Thy
humble and unworthy servants, to be ministrants of
Thy holy altar. Do Thou enable us with the power
of Thy Holy Spirit for this ministry, that standing
uncondemned before Thy holy glory, we may offer
unto Thee a sacrifice of praise: For Thou art He
who worketh all things in all men. Grant O Lord,
also that our sacrifice for our sins, and for the
errors of the people be acceptable and well
pleasing before Thee.
