26 THIRD KNEELING who worship Him ought to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Wherefore, let us pray, crying out and saying: “O Spirit the Paraclete inflame our mind and our heart that we may say in a manner befitting God: ‘Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, the Co-Essential Trinity.’ ” Pray to the Lord on our behalf, our lords and fathers the Apostles… Then they say the Gospel Response in the Batos tune: The soul of the Samaritan woman Who found the water of life Blessed Thee, that in Thee Lay the spring of the water of life. Let us worship our Saviour, The Good Lover of mankind, For He had compassion on us: He came and saved us. The priest then says the Long Prayers for Peace and the Fathers followed by these prayers: PRIEST: Remember, O Lord, all those who have bidden us to remember them. DEACON: Pray for those who have bidden us to remember them, in our supplications and prayers, each one according to his name, that Christ our God may remember them in goodness at all times, and forgive us our sins. PRIEST: In our prayers and supplications which we offer up unto Thee,
THE GOSPEL RESPONSE 27 O Lord our God, and at this time of this holy prayer. Those whom we remember at all times, those in the memory of each one of us. And their memorial which has been now, may it be for them like a steadfast fortress, overcoming all harms of the demons and the counsel of wicked men. CONGREGATION: Lord have mercy. PRIEST: We ask and entreat Thy Goodness, O Lover of mankind, remember, O Lord, our assemblies. Bless them. DEACON: Pray for this, our assembly, and for every assembly of the Orthodox (people), that Christ our God may bless them and conclude them in peace, and forgive us our sins. PRIEST: Grant that they may be unto us without obstacle or hindrance, that we may hold them according to Thine holy and blessed will. Houses of prayer, houses of purity, houses of blessing: grant them unto us, O Lord, and Thy servants who shall come after us forever. The worship of idols utterly uproot from the world. Satan and his evil powers do Thou trample and humiliate under our feet speedily. All offences and their instigators do Thou abolish. May all dissensions of corrupt heresies cease. The enemies of Thy Holy Church, O Lord, as at all times, now also humiliate. Strip their vanity; show them their weakness speedily. Bring to nought their envy, their intrigues, their madness, their wickedness, and their slander which they commit against us. O Lord, bring them all to no avail; disperse their counsel, O God, Who dispersed the counsel of Ahithophel.
