OF S. CHRYSOSTOM.

condemnation, O Lord, but for the healing of my soul and body.
And taking one portion of the holy Bread, he saith,
The precious and most holy Body of our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ is communicated to me (the name,) a Priest, for the remission of my sins, and for eternal life.
And thus he receiveth It in his hands with reverence and all due carefulness. Then he saith,
Deacon, approach.
And the Deacon having approached, humbly maketh his reverence, asking pardon; and the Priest, taking the holy Bread, giveth It to the Deacon, and the Deacon, having kissed the hand of the Priest, receiveth the holy Bread, saying,
Master, give unto me the precious and holy Body of our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
