Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom
- 29 -
Only-Begotten Son and God our Lord Jesus Christ:
Look upon Thy servants the catechumens, who
have bowed their necks before Thee, and
vouchsafe unto them at a seasonable time the
laver of regeneration, the remission of sins, and the
garment of incorruption; unite them to Thy Holy,
Catholic and Apostolic Church, and number them
among Thy chosen flock.
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.
