Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom
- 76 -
The Dismissal
Priest:
Glory to thee, O Christ our God and our hope, glory
to thee.
People: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: both now and ever,
and unto ages of ages. Amen. Lord, have mercy; Lord, have mercy; Lord, have mercy.
Father (Master, if a bishop is present, whether he serve of not), bless.
Priest:
May Christ our true God,
(insert the appointed characteristic
phrase, on Sundays, 'Who arose from the dead'
), through the intercessions
of his most pure Mother;
(and the rest)
of our father among the
saints, John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople;
(and
of the saint(s) whose temple it is and whose day it is);
of the holy and
Righteous Ancestors of God, Joachim and Anna; and of all
the saints: have mercy on us and save us, for He is good and
the Lover of mankind.
People: Amen. The Orthodox episcopate of the Russian Church; our Lord the Very Most
Reverend Metropolitan
N.,
First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad; and our lord the
Most Reverend Bishop
N.;
the brotherhood of this holy temple, and all Orthodox
Christians: preserve, O Lord, for many years!
At this point, the priest may serve a moleben, if he wish.
The cross is then venerated by the faithful who have not received the
Holy Mysteries, and the antidoron is distributed. Those who have
communed venerate the cross after the Thanksgiving prayers.
