2016 - Divine Liturgy - Theophany

Sanctify and Purify and order me; make me clean, give me Understanding
and Enlighten me; make me worthy to be the habitation of the Only Holy
Spirit, and no longer a habitation of sin; so that as Thine Abode from the
Entrance of Thy Holy Communion, every evil deed and passion may flee
from me like fire.
As supplicants I bring to Thee all those whom Thou hast Sanctified: the
Leaders of the Angelic Powers; Thy Forerunner; Thine Enlightened
Apostles; and further, Thy Pure and Spotless Mother.
Receive the Prayers of these, O Merciful Christ, and make Thy slave a Child of
Light.
For Thou art our Sanctification and our only Good, and the Illumination of
our souls, and unto Thee as our God and Master each day as is fitting, we
ascribe all Glory, Honour and Worship.
Amen
LORD JESUS CHRIST, OUR GOD, may Thy Holy Body be unto me for Everlasting Life
and Thy Precious Blood for the Forgiveness of sins. And may this Holy
Eucharist be Joy, Health and Gladness for me and at Thine awful Second
Coming make me, a sinner, worthy to stand at the right hand of Thy Glory,
through the Intercessions of Thy Pure Mother and of all Thy Saints. Amen.

6 January - Theophany
To the Most Holy & Ever Blessed Theotokos

ALL HOLY LADY, THEOTOKOS, the Light of my darkened soul, my Hope and
Protection, my Refuge and Consolation and my Joy: I give Thee thanks
that Thou has made me, who am unworthy, worthy to receive the Holy
Body and the Precious Blood of Thy Son.
Enlighten the Spiritual Eyes of my heart, O Thou
Who bore the True Light;
Thou Who
engendered the Fountain of Immortality
grant Life to me who is dead in sin; Thou the
Compassionate Mother of the Merciful God
have mercy on me and grant me
compunction and contrition of heart,
Humility in my thoughts, and the recall of my
reasoning powers from their captivity.
And make me worthy until my last breath,
uncondemned to receive the Sanctification
of the Divine Mysteries for the Healing of my
soul and body, and grant me Tears of
Repentance and Confession so that I may
praise and glorify Thee all the days of my
life for Thou art Blessed and Glorified unto
the Ages.
Amen.

I THANK THEE, O LORD MY GOD, that Thou has not rejected me, a sinner, but has
deemed me worthy to be a Partaker of Thy Holy Things.
I thank Thee that Thou has deemed me, who am unworthy, worthy to
participate in Thy Sacred and Heavenly Gifts.
And, O Merciful Master, Who died for us and Who Arose again and Who
bestows upon us these Thy Fearful and Life-giving Mysteries for the wellbeing and Sanctification of our souls and bodies, grant that these may be
to me for the healing of my soul and body, for the averting of everything
hostile, for the Enlightenment of the eyes of my heart, for Peace to my
Spiritual Powers, for Faith which does not shame us, for Love unfeigned,
for the plenitude of Wisdom, for the fulf ilment of Thy Commandments, for
the aid of Thy Divine Grace and the Inheritance of Thy Kingdom; so that
protected by Them in Thy Holiness I may ever remember Thy Grace and
never live for myself but only for Thee, our Master and Saviour.
And so when I have departed from this existence in the hope of Eternal Life, I
may attain to Everlasting Rest, where the Song of those who keep Festival
is unceasing and the Joy is endless of those who behold the Ineffable
Beauty of Thy Countenance.
For Thou, O Christ our God, is that which is truly sought for, and the
unutterable Gladness of those who Love Thee; and all Creation praises
Thee forever.
Amen
Thanksgiving Prayers of St Basil the Great

O CHRIST OUR GOD AND MASTER, KING OF THE AGES AND CREATOR OF ALL, I thank
Thee for all the favours that Thou has granted to me and for the
participation in Thy Pure and Life-giving Mysteries.
I beseech Thee, therefore, O Gracious and Loving Lord, guard me under Thy
Protection and under the shadow of Thy Wings: and grant me a clear
conscience to my last breath, so that worthily I may receive Thy Holy
Things for the forgiveness of sins and Life Eternal.
For Thou art the Bread of Life, the Fountain of Holiness, the Giver of all that is
Good, and unto Thee we ascribe Glory with the Father and the Holy
Spirit, now and forever, and from all Ages to all Ages.
Amen
THOU WHO GRANTS ME WILLINGLY NOURISHMENT OF THINE OWN FLESH: Thou Who art
Fire and burns up the unworthy, do not scorch me, O my Maker, but
rather pass through me for the right ordering of my members, into all my
joints, my affections, and my heart.
Burn up the thorns of all my offences; Purify my soul; Sanctify my mind; make
strong my knees and my bones; Enlighten the simplicity of my five senses;
nail down the whole of me with Thy Fear.
Always Protect, Guard and Watch over me, and keep me from every souldestroying deed and word.

have I; and that no other did such deeds as I have committed. But to set
against this knowledge other Knowledge have I also not the number of
offences, nor the greatness of my sinning, can surpass my Gods
Forebearance and the Height of His Compassion.
Yea, by Mercy of Thy Kindness Thou Cleanses and renders shining all who
warmly turn Repentant Thine own Light bestowing on them, and
Communion of Thy Godhead, working with a Love ungrudging. And a
marvel for the Angels and for human understanding Thou hast
converse with them often, as one does when friends are trusted.
These are thoughts that give me boldness, O my Christ, and wings for
soaring. And encouraged by the Riches of Thy Benefactions towards us,
with rejoicing yet with trembling, of Thy Fire am I partaker, although but
straw and how amazing!
sprinkled with Thy Dew from
Heaven I am like that Bush that the
Prophet saw, which unconsumed
was Burning.
Wherefore, with a mind most grateful,

Although my lips with sin are filthy; although my heart is foul with evil;
although my tongue is all unclean; although my soul with dirt is
blackened, yet, dear Christ, accept my Pleading.
O despise not me, I pray Thee nor my words so poorly chosen, as I come
with shameless boldness but, my Christ, let me with freedom tell Thee
my hearts intention.
No! I cannot! Thou must teach me what to do and what to utter!
I confess myself a sinner worse than that poor Fallen Woman, who had
learnt where Thou wast staying, and with myrrh that love had
purchased, laved Thy Feet, O Christ, my Master and my God, not lacking
boldness.
And as she was not rejected when with all her heart she sought Thee, shun
not me, O Word, with loathing.
Nay! Let me like her approach Thee to embrace Thy Feet and kiss Them,
and to dare to lave them, spending streaming tears, which Thou
awakens, and accept as Myrrh most precious.
Wash me with the tears Thou granted, O Word of God, and with them
Cleanse me; grant Remission of my stumblings, and bestow on me
Forgiveness.
All my many ills Thou knowest; all my wounds Thou knowest also, and my
bruises Thou beholdest.
But my Faith Thou knowest likewise; and my Zeal Thine Eye beholdeth, and
my groanings, too, Thou hearest. Not by Thee is left unnoticed, O God
my Maker and Redeemer, any tear although singly falling, nor of single
tears one fraction.
With Thine Eyes hast Thou beheld me, and has learnt mine imperfection.
On the Book of Thy Remembrance can be seen, inscribed already, even
deeds not yet committed.
Look on me abased before Thee; see the soreness of my grieving; and, O
God of All, Forgive me all my manifold transgressions that a heart
washed clean of evil and a mind with Awe atremble and a spirit of
contrition I may bring to this Partaking of Thy Pure and Holy Mysteries,
which impart both Life and godship unto all whose heart sincerely longs
to eat Thee and to drink Thee. For Thou said, O my Master, Everyone
who eats My Body and receives My Blood to drink it, he shall be in Me
forever; and in him shall I be also.
Perfect Truth, my God and Master, is that Word by Thee once spoken for
whoever shares Thy Graces, which Divinely bring us godship, surely he
is alone no longer but with Thee, my Christ, he abideth Radiant Light
of Triple Daystar, on the world with splendour shining.
And that I may not live lonely and apart from Thee, O Lifegiver Thou art
Breath to me, and Living; Thou for me art all my Gladness; for the world
art Thou Salvation I have therefore come to seek Thee. See the tears,
which Thou hast wakened, and my spirit of contrition.
I implore Thee Who art Ransom for my stumblings, to accept me and to let
me be partaker of Thy Quickening Blameless Mysteries, and not to suffer
Condemnation.
Bide with me, as Thou Promised; in my wretchedness Protect me so that
never that Deceiver having found me undefended by Thy Grace may
seize upon me with his wiles, to snare and coax me from Thy Words that
make me godlike.
Therefore I fall down before Thee, and with fervour call upon Thee as the
Prodigal was welcome, and the Woman who approached Thee, so in

QUIETLY READ THE
COMMUNION PRAYERS:
I BELIEVE, O LORD, AND I CONFESS, that Thou art verily the Christ, the Son of
the Living God, Who came into the world to Save sinners, of whom I am the
first. Also I believe, that This is Thy Sacred Body, and This Thy Precious
Blood. Therefore I pray to Thee: have mercy on me and pardon all my
transgressions - voluntary and involuntary, in word, deed and thought,
both known and unknown - and make me worthy to partake of Thy Sacred
Mysteries, for the Remission of sins and for Life Eternal. Amen.
BEHOLD, I APPROACH FOR HOLY COMMUNION. O Creator, burn me not as I
partake; for Thou art Fire, which burns the unworthy. Wherefore, Cleanse
me from every stain.
RECEIVE ME TODAY, O SON OF GOD, as a Partaker of Thy Mystical Feast; for I
will not speak of the Mystery to Thine enemies; I will not kiss Thee as did
Judas, but as the Thief, I will confess Thee: Lord, remember me in Thy
Kingdom!
TREMBLE, O MORTAL, BEHOLDING THE DIVINE BLOOD. For it is like a lit coal burning the unworthy. It is Gods Body and Deifies and Nourishes me. It
Deifies my soul, and wondrously Nourishes my mind.
THOU HAS SMITTEN ME WITH YEARNING, O CHRIST, and with Thy Divine Love
Thou has changed me; but burn away with Spiritual Fire my sins, and
make me worthy to be filled with the Joy of Thee; so that rejoicing in Thy
Goodness, I may magnify Thy Two Presences.
INTO THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THY SAINTS, HOW SHALL I, THE UNWORTHY,
ENTER? For should I dare to enter the Festal Chamber, my Robe betrays
me, for it is not a Festal Garment, and I shall be bound and cast out by the
Angels. Cleanse my soul, O Lord, from pollution, and by Thy Compassion
Save me.
O MERCIFUL MASTER, LORD JESUS CHRIST MY GOD, LET NOT THESE HOLY
GIFTS BE JUDGEMENT FOR ME THROUGH MY UNWORTHINESS, but rather
for the Purification and Sanctification of my soul and body, and as an
Earnest of the Life and Kingdom to come. For it is good

Shine in our hearts, O Merciful Master,

Who Loves mankind, the Pure Light of
Thy Divine Knowledge, and open the
eyes of our mind to the Understanding
of Thy Gospel Teachings.
Implant in us also the Fear of Thy Blessed
Commandments, so that trampling
down all desires of the flesh, we may
enter upon a Spiritual Manner of
living, both thinking and doing the
things that are well-pleasing to Thee.
For Thou art the Illumination of our soul
