The Order of the "Dialog" Between the Priest and Deacon
After the Great Entrance of Divine Liturgy
adopted at the recent session of the Synod of Bishops of the Russian Church Abroad (9-12 December 2011).
The Priest, having set aside the censer and bowed his head, saith to the Deacon:�
Pray for me, my brother and concelebrant.
Deacon:� May the Holy Spirit come upon thee and the power of the Most High overshadow thee.
Priest:� May the same Spirit act within us all the days of our life.
Then the Deacon, having himself bowed his head, and holding the orarion with three fingers of his right hand, saith to the Priest:
Remember me, holy master.
Priest: May the Lord God remember thee in His kingdom, always, now and ever, and unto the agtes of ages.
And the Deacon saith: Amen; and, having kissed the right hand of the Priest, he goeth out through the north door; and, standing in his usual place, saith:
Let us complete our prayer unto the Lord.
