We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth of all
that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of
God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God
from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all
things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven: By
the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For
our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was
buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures he
ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come
again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no
end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life, who proceeds
from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and
glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We
look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Let us pray that peace be with us, for our forefathers, the patriarchs, bishops,
all priests, deacons, for all young people and women and for all who have
departed from this world in true faith. Let us pray for all our fathers and
brothers, for all our sons and daughters, for all the faithful leaders who love
Christ; in remembrance of all prophets, apostles martyrs, confessors here and
every where. On the day of the resurrection may God who crowned them give us
with them true hope for a share in the inheritance of the kingdom of heaven.
(bless us O Lord ). May this sacrifice be accepted with uncovered faces, and may
it be sanctified by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, that it might be for
our help, salvation, and everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven, by the grace
of Christ.

(Recites quietly) * Worthy of praise from every mouth, and thanksgiving from
every tongue, and adoration and exaltation from every creature is the adorable
and glorious Name of your Glorious Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who
created the world by his grace and its inhabitants in his compassion, and
redeemed mankind in his mercy, and has effected great grace towards mortals.
*
Your Majesty, O Lord, a thousand thousands heavenly being and myriad myriads of
holy angels adore and worship. And
hosts of spiritual beings, ministers of fire and spirit, glorify your name. And
with holy cherubim and spiritual seraphim, they present adoration to your
Lordship.

comes and will come in the name of the Lord. Oshana in the highest.
Cel.:
And with these heavenly powers we give thanks to you, O Lord. { And we bless God
the word, invisibly born of your bosom. Although he existed in your form, and is
a reflection of yourself and a picture of your being, he did not consider being
equal to God as a thing to be clung to, but he emptied himself, taking the form
of a slave. He became a perfect man with a rational, knowledgeable, and immortal
soul, and with a mortal and human body. He was born from a woman and became
under the law, in order to redeem those under the law. And he left to us a
memorial of our salvation, this mystery which we offer before you.

holiness of the prophets, apostles, martyres and confessors, bishops and
teachers, priests and deacons, and of all the children of the holy catholic
church, who have been marked with the living mark of holy baptism.

together and stand before you at this, have received by tradition the example
which is from your son, rejoicing, glorifying, magnifying and commemorating, we
perform this great and dread mystery of the passion and death and resurrection
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord, may your spirit come down upon this sacrifice of your servants.
Bless it and sanctify it so that it may be for us the forgiveness of our dept,
the pardon of our sins, and the great hope of the resurrection from the dead,
and new life in the kingdom of heaven with all who pleased you. For all the
great and admirable care toward us, we honor and praise you always in your
church, redeemed through the precious blood of your Christ.

justified in your report, triumphant in your judgement. etc.

the eyes of a servant look towards her mistress; so also our eyes look towards
the LORD our GOD until he shall have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us;
for we have heard a great deal of contempt. I have washed my hands clean, and I
have humbled myself before you.
