We have observed the development of our young people everywhere, and have sensed the need of something that will quench their thirst for understanding and that that understanding in turn will give them an incentive to take a deeper interest in their mother church, the Holy Orthodox Eastern Catholic Apostolic Church. We took advantage of this situation and assumed the responsibility of arranging and compiling this book which contains the Divine Liturgy according to Saint John, the Chrysostom, and Saint Basil the Great. It also includes the customary Apolytikions (troparia) and Kondakions with explanations of all appendices. We ask that all of our young people take the privilege of using this book ill good faith. Some of the English text used in this book is f~bin the copyrighted translation made by the Right Rev. . G. H. Gelsinger. The Rt. Rev. Ananias Kassab and The Rev. Raphael K. Husson

NOTE: While the preceeding hymn is sung', the priest censers the altar, the sanctuary while the people are standing. Also he recites secretly, with reverence and fear, the following prayer. 0 . Lord, Jesus Christ, our God, Who has endured crucifixion and death for our salvation, grant us tears of repentance. And as I now see thy Holy Oblation up born enable me to worship Thee with fear, Thou who sitteth on the right of the Father and the HOly' Spirit. It is meet to thank Thee for all Thy goodness. Thou art our GOd, and our Redeemer. And as Thou accepteth this from me, make me worthy to stand at Thy right hand in the day of Judgment and let me hear Thy loving voice sayeth: Come,' blessed. of my Father; inherit the kingdom prepared for you. Amen." He then immediately recites the following, Psalm 50: "Have mercy upon me, 0 God, after Thy great goodness: according to the. multitude of Thy mercies blot out my offences. Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightast be justified in Thy saying; and clear when Thou art judged. Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me. But 16, 'I'hou requi rest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly. Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy ctnd gladness: that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Turn thy 20

face from my sins; and put. out all my misdeeds.'. Make me a clean "heart, o God; and renew a right spirit within me. Oast..menot away, from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Ogiv~ me the comfort of thy, help again; and .establish me with thy. free spirit. Then shall I :teach: thy ways unto the wicked; and sinners shall be converted unt~th~~: Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, 0 God, thou that art th~ God of my"salvation: and my tongue shall sing of thy righteousness. 0 Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. For thou desirest not sacrifice, also would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt-offering. The. sacrifice of God is a broken spirit: a broken and contrite heart, 0 God thou wilt not despise. Do good in good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteous" j ness,: with oblations and burnt-offering's; then shall th:y offer young b~l: locks upon thine altar." While the priest is participating in the procession preceded by torches, the cross and the censer, and is calling the customary remembrances, the worshippers must remain facing the sanctuary and recite secretly the following prayer. "Holy, Holy, Holy, God of Host, Heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Hosanna in the Highest, blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord, King of Israel, God, the Lord, hath revealed Himself unto us. Make me, 0 Lord, to worship the oblation of thy mystic Supper, all-honorable and all-esteemed. Let it be my provision even unto the last end, for the everlasting life. Amen." 21

And when the time for delivering drew near, and they had no place in the village, the Cave did appear to .the queen as delightful palace. Verily, Christ shall be born, raising the likeness that fell of old.
