THE DIVINE LITURGY

dox, who rightly divide the word of truth, the whole priesthood, the diaconate which is in Christ, and the whole sacerdotal body. Again we offer unto Thee this reasonable service for the whole world, for the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, for those living in purity and a holy state, for our most faithful and Christian kings, for their whole court and army. Give unto them, O Lord, a peaceful reign, that we also, in their peacefulness, may pass a tranquil and quiet life in all piety and godliness.

And after the Troparion is sung, the Priest saith aloud,

Especially be mindful, O Lord, of our Archbishop, (the name,) whom spare to Thy holy Churches, in peace, safety, honour, health, and length of days, rightly dividing the word of truth.

The Choir. And all men, and all women.
