Prayer of the Prothesis.
The Priest. O God, our God, who didst send forth the heavenly Bread, the food of all the world, our Lord and God Jesus Christ, for a Saviour and Redeemer and Benefactor, to bless and hallow us: Do Thou bless this offering, and receive it at Thine heavenly altar. Remember, as Thou art good and the lover of men, those who offer it, and them for whom it is offered; and keep us blameless in the celebration of Thy divine mysteries. For hallowed and glorified be Thine honourable and exalted Name, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, now, and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
And after this he maketh the dismission, saying thus:
Glory to Thee, O God Christ, our help, glory to Thee.
The Deacon. Glory: both now: Kyrie eleison, thrice; Master, give the blessing.
