Liturgy for Palm Sunday - ROCOR Western-Rite

The Priest comes to the center, bows to the Church; he turns, goes to the
altar and standing before it says quietly:
Sanctify O Lord, these gifts offered by us,
and cleanse us from the stains of our sins;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Priest sets on incense, offered by the Subdeacon or Thurifer which he
blesses saying:
May you be blessed by Him
in whose honor you are to be burned. Amen.
The Priest censes the gifts and the altar, walking around it and returning
to the center. The Deacon censes the Priest and the Church.
The Acolyte presents water and a towel and the Priest washes his hands
saying quietly:
Lord wash away my iniquity,
cleanse me from my sin.
When all are in place the following may be used by the Deacon:
Deacon: Our presbyter, N, ( your unworthy servant) offers this
sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord God
making remembrance for himself, (myself) our bishop,
N., and the whole college of clergy.
