How to Benefit from the Holy Liturgy - Pope Kirillos Scientific Family

"Make us all worthy, O our Master to partake of Your
Holy Body and Your Honoured Blood, for the purification
for our souls, bodies and spirits, and forgiveness of our
sins and our iniquities, that we may become one body and
one spirit with You" ;
"Absolve and forgive us O God, our sins which we have
done willingly and unwillingly."
These prayers are concluded with the Lord's prayer, " Our
Father ..."
My beloved, why don't you learn these prayers, which are
solemn but great in meaning, and pray them inaudibly with
the priest while you are kneeling, giving glory to the One
God, Trinitarian in hypostasis, asking forgiveness for your
sins, supplicating unto the Lord to make you worthy to
partake of these Holy Mysteries, and thereby increase your
abiding and unity in Christ, so that you may become one
body and one spirit with Him.
At the end of the Confession, the deacon holds the Cross in
his right hand and an illuminated candle in his left, between
them he holds a veil folded in the shape of a triangle and
placed before his eyes. He then prays the deacon's
confession: "Amen, Amen, Amen, I believe, I believe, I
believe that this is true Amen. Pray for us and for all the
Christians who said to us concerning them, 'remember us
in the house of the Lord'. The peace and love of Jesus
Christ be with you. Sing a psalm, Alleluia. Pray for the
merit of partaking of these holy, pure and heavenly
Mysteries. Lord have mercy."
