The Priest censeth the third Veil, that is, the Aër, and covering both, saith,
Shelter us with the shelter of Thy wings, drive from us every enemy and foe: guide our life in peace, O Lord: have mercy upon us and on Thy world, and save our souls, as Thou art good and the lover of men.
Then the Priest, taking the Censer, censeth the Prothesis, saying thrice,
Blessed be our God, who art thus well pleased: glory to Thee.
And the Deacon saith each time,
Always, now, and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
And both adore devoutly thrice. Then the Deacon taking the Censer, saith, at the offering of the holy gifts,
Let us pray of the Lord.
