Divine Liturgy of St Basil- The Litany Before the Lord's Prayer - 82 -
Priest:

Orthodox who rightly divideth the word of Thy truth.

according to the multitude of Thy bounties; pardon
my every transgression, whether voluntary or

Remember, O Lord, the priesthood, the diaconate
in Christ, and every order of clergy, and put not to

compassions. Vouchsafe unto us seasonable and

earth unto fruitfulness. Bless the crown of Thy
years with goodness. Makest schisms to cease in
the Church. Quench the raging of hostile nations,
speedily destroy, by the power of Thy Holy Spirit
uprisings of heresies, receive us all into Thy
kingdom, showing us to be sons of the light and
sons of the day, and grant unto us Thy peace and
