For all that is good and beneficial to our souls, and for peace in the world, let us ask the Lord. Grant this, O Lord.
For the completion of our lives in peace and re­ pentance, let us ask the Lord.
Grant this, O Lord.
For a Christian end to our lives, peaceful, with­ out shame and suffering, and for a good ac­ count before the awesome judgment seat of Christ, let us ask the Lord.
Grant this, O Lord.
Commemorating our most holy, pure, blessed, and glorious Lady, the Theotokos and ever­vir­ gin Mary, with all the saints, let us commend ourselves and one another, and our whole life to Christ our God.
To You, O Lord.
The Prayer of Offering
PLriest:
ORD God Almighty, You alone are holy. You ac­ cept the sacrifice of praise from those who call upon You with their whole heart. Even so, accept from us sin­ ners our supplication, and bring it to Your Holy Altar of sacrifice. Enable us to offer You gifts and spiritual sacrifices for our own sins and the failings of Your peo­ ple. Deem us worthy to find grace in Your sight, that our sacrifice may be well pleasing to You, and that the good Spirit of Your grace may rest upon us and upon these gifts presented and upon all Your people.
