Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom - The Communion of the people
- 96 -
Thief do I confess Thee:
Remember me, O Lord in
Thy kingdom.
Let not the communion of
Thy Holy Mysteries be
unto me for judgment or
condemnation, O Lord, but
for healing of soul and
body.

Then those that desire to partake draw nigh. And they come one by
one, and bow down with compunction and fear, having their arms
folded on their breasts. Then each one receiveth the Divine
Mysteries. The priest, as he communicateth each one saith:
Priest:
The servant (handmaid) of God
N.
partaketh of the precious and
holy Body and Blood of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, unto the
remission of sins and unto life everlasting. Behold, this hath touched thy
lips, and taketh away thine iniquities, and purgeth away thy sins.
And the deacon wipeth the communicant's lips with the cloth, and the
communicant kisseth the holy cup, and bowing, withdraweth. And in
this manner do all partake. Meanwhile the following hymn is repeated
until all have communicated:
People: Receive ye the Body of Christ; taste ye
the Fountain of Immortality. Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia.
