Kyrie eleison!
WE OFFER unto Thee this bloodless sacrifice, O Lord, first on behalf of the holy Zion, the mother of all the churches, and on behalf of Thy holy Church throughout the whole world, that Thou mayest grant to her the gift of Thy Holy Spirit. Remember, O Lord, our Metropolitan, Mar ___, (the Archbishop(s) Mar ___ (and Mar ___), (our bishop Mar ___) and the priests, the deacons and all the orders of Thy Church along with my own feeble self. Remember not the sins of my youth, but make me to live according to Thy mercy. Remember also our kindred: the prisoners, the sick, the infirm, the afflicted, and those who are tormented by evil spirits. Bless the air and the crown of the year, filling all the living with good will.

For the founders of this holy house, for those who pray with us here and for those absent from us, let us pray to the Lord!
Kyrie eleison!
REMEMBER, O Lord, them that stand and pray with us, and do Thou remember also them that have departed from among us and them that wished to offer this sacrifice but could not, and to every one grant what is good.

Bestow upon them the joy of Thy salvation and make them worthy of Thy help. Strengthen them with Thy power and arm them with Thy might.

That He will remember all the faithful departed, let us pray to the Lord!
Kyrie eleison!
O LORD of spirits and all flesh, remember all them that have departed from us in the true faith. Give rest to their bodies, their souls and their spirits. Deliver them from endless condemnation and make them to rejoice in the place where the light of Thy countenance shines, blotting out their offenses and entering not into judgment with them, for there is none innocent before Thee save Thine Only-begotten Son, through whom we also hope to find mercy and forgiveness of sins for His sake, both for us and for them.

Having commemorated all the saints, let us commend ourselves and one another and our whole life unto Christ our God!
To thee, O Lord.
KEEP us, O Lord, without sin until our end and gather us at the feet of Thine elect. Let our end come when and where and as Thou wilt, but leave us not in shame for our offenses so that Thine honored and blessed Name may be glorified and praised, in this as in all things, together with the † Name of our Lord Jesus Christ and that of Thine all good and Living Holy Spirit, one in essence with Thee, in both worlds unto the Aeon of aeons.
Amen.
† PEACE be with you all.
And with thy spirit.

The Dogmatikon

THUS did the Word of God truly suffer in the flesh and was sacrificed and broken on the cross, sundering His soul from His body while His godhead was in no way separated from His soul or His body. For the sins of the whole world and their forgiveness did He die on the Cross † and His soul came and was united with His body. And He turned us from wrong practice to right deeds. By His blood He reconciled and united the hosts of heaven with us, His people with the nations, and the soul with the body. The third day He rose again from the tomb. And He is One Immanuel, indivisible into two natures after the indivisible union of His godhead and His humanity.
Thus we believe and confess and confirm that this Flesh is of this Blood and that this Blood is of this Flesh.

The Preface of the Lord's Prayer

And with thy spirit.
