Ἱερεύς (χαμηλοφώνως): Μετὰ τούτων καὶ ἡμεῖς τῶν μακαρίων δυνάμεων, Δέσποτα φιλάνθρωπε, βοῶμεν καὶ λέγομεν: Ἅγιος εἶ καὶ πανάγιος Σὺ καὶ ὁ μονογενής σου Υἱὸς καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμά σου τὸ Ἅγιον. Ἅγιος εἶ καὶ πανάγιος καὶ μεγαλοπρεπὴς ἡ δόξα σου. Ὃς τὸν κόσμον σου οὕτως ἠγάπησας, ὥστε τὸν Υἱόν σου τὸν μονογενῆ δοῦναι, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται, ἀλλ' ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον. Ὃς ἐλθὼν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν οἰκονομίαν πληρώσας, τῇ νυκτὶ ᾗ παρεδίδοτο, μᾶλλον δὲ ἑαυτὸν παρεδίδου ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ κόσμου ζωῆς, λαβὼν ἄρτον ἐν ταῖς ἁγίαις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀχράντοις καὶ ἀμωμήτοις χερσί, εὐχαριστήσας καὶ εὐλογήσας, ἁγιάσας, κλάσας, ἔδωκε τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ μαθηταῖς καὶ ἀποστόλοις, εἰπὼν·
Ἱερεύς: Λάβετε, φάγετε, τοῦτό μού ἐστι τὸ σῶμα, τὸ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κλώμενον, εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
Λαός: Ἀμήν.
Ἱερεύς (χαμηλοφώνως): Ὁμοίως καὶ τὸ ποτήριον μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι, λέγων·
Ἱερεύς: Πίετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες, τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ αἷμά μου, τὸ τῆς Καινῆς Διαθήκης, τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν καὶ πολλῶν ἐκχυνόμενον, εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
Λαός: Ἀμήν.
Ἱερεύς (χαμηλοφώνως): Μεμνημένοι τοίνυν τῆς σωτηρίου ταύτης ἐντολῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν γεγενημένων, τοῦ Σταυροῦ, τοῦ Τάφου, τῆς τριημέρου Ἀναστάσεως, τῆς εἰς οὐρανοὺς Ἀναβάσεως, τῆς ἐκ δεξιῶν Καθέδρας, τῆς δευτέρας καὶ ἐνδόξου πάλιν Παρουσίας.
Ἱερεύς: Τὰ σὰ ἐκ τῶν σῶν σοὶ προσφέρομεν κατὰ πάντα καὶ διὰ πάντα.
Λαός: Σὲ ὑμνοῦμεν, σὲ εὐλογοῦμεν, σοὶ εὐχαριστοῦμεν, Κύριε, καὶ δεόμεθά σου, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν.
Ἱερεύς (χαμηλοφώνως): Ἔτι προσφέρομέν σοι τὴν λογικὴν ταύτην καὶ ἀναίμακτον λατρείαν, καὶ παρακαλοῦμέν σε καὶ δεόμεθα καὶ ἱκετεύομεν· κατάπεμψον τὸ Πνεῦμά σου τὸ Ἅγιον ἐφ' ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ προκείμενα Δῶρα ταῦτα.
Καὶ ποίησον τὸν μὲν Ἄρτον τοῦτον, τίμιον Σῶμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου. Ἀμήν.
Τὸ δὲ ἐν τῷ Ποτηρίῳ τούτῳ, τίμιον αἷμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου. Ἀμήν.
Μεταβαλὼν τῷ Πνεύματί σου τῷ Ἁγίῳ. Ἀμήν· Ἀμήν· Ἀμήν.
Now here is the same section of the Liturgy in English (a very good translation, btw):
Priest (in a low voice): Together with these blessed powers, merciful Master, we also proclaim and say: You are holy and most holy, You and Your only-begotten Son and Your Holy Spirit. You are holy and most holy, and sublime is Your glory. You so loved Your world that You gave Your only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. He came and fulfilled the divine plan for us. On the night when He was betrayed, or rather when He gave Himself up for the life of the world, He took bread in His holy, pure, and blameless hands, gave thanks, blessed, sanctified, broke, and gave it to His holy disciples and apostles saying:
Priest: Take, eat, this is my Body which is broken for you for the forgiveness of sins.
People: Amen.
Priest (in a low voice): Likewise, after supper, He took the cup, saying:
Priest: Drink of it all of you; this is my Blood of the new Covenant which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
People: Amen.
Priest (in a low voice): Remembering, therefore, this command of the Savior, and all that came to pass for our sake, the cross, the tomb, the resurrection on the third day, the ascension into heaven, the enthronement at the right hand of the Father, and the second, glorious coming.
Priest: We offer to You these gifts from Your own gifts in all and for all.
People: We praise You, we bless You, we give thanks to You, and we pray to You, Lord our God.
Priest (in a low voice): Once again we offer to You this spiritual worship without the shedding of blood, and we ask, pray, and entreat You: send down Your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts here presented.
Priest: And make this bread the precious Body of Your Christ.
Amen.
Priest: And that which is in this cup the precious Blood of Your Christ.
Amen.
Priest: Changing them by Your Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen. Amen.
These sections begin right after the "Sanctus". Notice how the Greek says "many" when quoting Christ at the Last Supper speaking of the Cup (in bold) but later says that we are offering the Gifts "in all and for all"(in italics). Perhaps most important, however, are the final lines of the quoted sections. These are called the "Epiklesis"(again italics). These words demonstrate that it is God Who, by the Holy Spirit, changes the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. I think this is an important distinction between the Tridentine Mass (the NO mass does have an epiklesis)and the older Divine Liturgy of +John Chrysostomos (or +Basil the Great or +James). In the Latin form, the "Alter Christus" says the words of institution (the origin of the English language expression "hocus pocus" for magic) and the consecration occurs. In the Orthodox form, it occurs by the power of the Holy Spirit. In either event, we have the True Body and Blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I trust we can all commune worthily this morning!
In writing two scriptural Rosaries for the luminous mysteries there is so much to pull from the New Testament about Christ’s life.
One I wrote for my own use, the second one I wrote as a meditation for each Hail Mary for the end of the Year of the Priest.
I was so glad someone worked with me on that last one because we did all twenty decades and put it into a booklet which we copyrighted.
