The Divine Liturgy of St. Gregory is one of the liturgies authorized for use by the Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate (AWRV). It is based on the Tridentine Mass as it was celebrated by the Society of Clerks Secular of St. Basil (SSB), a formerly independent church that formed the basis of the Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate in 1961. It is also authorized for use within the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR). The Liturgy of St. Gregory has also been authorized for use by and celebrated within the Polish Orthodox Church, the Patriarchate of Moscow, the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, and the Alexandrian Patriarchate.
V. X In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
V. Ps. 43. Give sentence with me, O God, and defend my cause against the ungodly people: O deliver me from the deceitful and wicked man.
R. For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou put me from thee: and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?
V. O send out thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me: and bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy dwelling.
R. And that I may go unto the altar of God, even the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God.
V. Why art thou so heavy, O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted within me?
R. O put thy trust in God: for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.
R. God Almighty have mercy upon thee, forgive thee thy sins, and bring thee to everlasting life.
R. I confess to God Almighty, to Blessed Mary Ever-Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John (the) Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, to all the Saints, and to thee, father, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed, by my fault, by my own fault, by my own most grievous fault. Wherefore I beg blessed Mary Ever-Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, all the Saints, and thee, father, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
V. God Almighty have mercy upon you, forgive you your sins, and bring you to everlasting life.
V. X The Almighty and merciful Lord grant unto us pardon, absolution, and remission of our sins.
V. Wilt thou not turn again and quicken us, O God?
The Priest ascends to the altar, saying: Take away from us, we be-seech thee, O Lord, all our iniquities, that we may enter the holy of holies with pure minds. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
And kissing the altar, he says: We beseech thee, O Lord, by the prayers of thy Saints [whose relics are here], that thou wouldst vouch-safe to forgive us all our sins. Amen.
For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Jesus Christ, with the Holy Ghost, X art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
The Gradual and Alleluia sentences are sung by the Choir or read by the Celebrant. The Deacon or Priest who is to say or sing the Gospel then says: Cleanse my heart and my lips, O almighty God, who didst cleanse the lips of the prophet Isaiah with a burning coal, and in thy gracious mercy so purify me that I may worthily proclaim thy holy Gospel. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
V. The X continuation (beginning) of the Holy Gospel according to___________.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, X and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Accept us, O Lord, in the spirit of humility and contrition of heart: and grant that the sacrifice we offer this day in thy sight may be pleas-ing to thee, O Lord God.
At High Mass, incense is set with the following prayers: Through the intercession of Blessed Michael the Archangel standing at the right hand of the altar of incense, and of all his elect, may the Lord vouch-safe to blXess this incense, and to receive it for a sweet smelling savor. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Oblations, altar, Priest, servers, and people are censed while the Priest says: May this incense, which thou hast blest, ascend unto thee, O Lord: and may thy mercy descend upon us. Ps. 141:1-3: Let my prayer, O Lord, be set forth in thy sight as the incense: and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, and keep the door of my lips: O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil thing, let me not be occupied in ungodly works.
As the Priest gives up the thurible, he says: The Lord kindle in us the fire of his love, and the flame of eternal charity. Amen.
The Priest now washes his hands, saying: Ps. 26:6. I will wash my hands in innocency, O Lord, and so will I go to thine altar. That I may show the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth. O shut not up my soul with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodthirsty: in whose hands is wickedness, and their right hand is full of gifts. But as for me, I will walk innocently: O deliver me and be merciful unto me. My foot standeth right, I will praise the Lord in the congregations. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. X Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
We therefore pray thee, O Lord, mercifully to accept this offer-ing of our service and that of all thy family; to order our days in thy peace, to deliver us from eternal damnation, and to number us in the flock of thine elect. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Wherefore, O Lord, we thy servants, as also thy holy people, calling to mind the blessed Passion of the same Christ, thy Son our Lord, his Resurrection from the dead and glorious Ascen-sion into heaven, offer unto thy most excellent majesty of thy gifts bestowed upon us a pure host, a holy host, a spotless host, the holy bread of eternal life, and the chalice of everlasting salvation.
And we beseech thee, O Lord, to send down thy Holy Spirit upon these offerings, that he would make this bread the pre-cious Body of thy Christ, and that which is in this Cup the precious Blood of thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ, transmuting them by thy Holy Spirit. R. AMEN. AMEN. AMEN.
Be mindful also, O Lord, of thy servants who are gone before us with the sign of faith, and who rest in the sleep of peace. (Here the departed are commemorated.) To them, O Lord, and to all who rest in Christ, grant we pray thee a place of refresh-ment, light and peace, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
To us sinners also, thy servants, confiding in the multitude of thy mercies, grant some lot and partnership with thy holy apos-tles and martyrs John, Stephen, Mat-thias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucia, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia and with all thy saints, into whose company we pray thee of thy mercy to admit us, not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences. Through Christ our Lord, by whom O Lord, thou dost ever create, sanctify, quicken, bless and bestow upon us all these good things. For by him, and with him, and in him is to thee, God the Father almighty, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory, throughout all ages of ages. Amen.
The Priest continues: Deliver us, we beseech thee, O Lord, from all evils, past, present, and to come; and at the intercession of the blessed and glorious Mary, Ever-Virgin Mother of God, of thy blessed Apos-tles Peter and Paul, Andrew, and all thy Saints, graciously give peace in our time, that aided by the help of thy loving kindness, we may both be ever free from sin and secure from all disquietude. Through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God.
The following prayer is said, except in Masses for the Dead: O Lord Jesus Christ, who didst say to thine Apostles, peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, regard not our sins, but the faith of thy Church; and grant her that peace and unity which are agreeable to thy will. Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.
The Priest continues: O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who by the will of the Father and the cooperation of the Holy Ghost hast, by thy death, given life to the world, deliver me, I beseech thee, by this thy most holy Body and Blood, from all iniquities and from every evil. Make me ever obedient to thy commandments, and suffer me not to be ever separated from thee, who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the same Spirit, God, throughout all ages of ages. Amen.
At the Priest's Communion, he says: I will take the bread of heaven and call upon the Name of the Lord. (Then thrice) Lord, I am not worthy: that thou shouldest enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. The bell is rung thrice.
As the Priest receives the Body, he says: May the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto everlasting life. Amen. After which, he says: What reward shall I give unto the Lord for all the benefits that he hath done unto me? I will receive the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord. I will call upon the Lord, which is worthy to be praised, so shall I be safe from mine enemies. He then receives the Precious Blood, saying: May the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto everlasting life. Amen.
X Behold the Lamb of God; behold him that takest away the sins of the world.
I believe, O Lord, and I confess that thou art truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, who didst come into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. And I believe that this is truly thine own immaculate Body, and that this is truly thine own precious Blood. Wherefore I pray thee, have mercy upon me and forgive my transgressions both voluntary and involun-tary, of word and of deed, of knowledge and of ignorance; and make me worthy to partake without condemnation of thine immaculate Mysteries, unto remission of my sins and unto life everlasting. Amen. Of thy Mystic Supper, O Son of God, accept me today as a communicant: for I will not speak of thy Mystery to thine enemies, neither will I give thee a kiss as did Judas; but like the thief will I confess thee: Remember me, O Lord, in thy Kingdom. Not unto judgment nor unto condemnation be my partaking of thy Holy Mysteries, O Lord, but unto the healing of soul and body.
At the ablutions, the Priest says: What we have partaken with our mouth, O Lord, may we receive with a pure heart, and of a temporal gift, may it become to us an eternal remedy. May thy Body and Blood which I have received, cleave unto my heart, O Lord; and grant that no stain of sin may remain in me, having been fed with this pure and holy Sacrament. Who livest and reignest in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, throughout all ages of ages. Amen.
R/. And with thy spirit.
The Priest then says: Let the obedient performance of my bounden duty be pleasing unto thee, O Holy Trinity; and grant that this sacri-fice which I, unworthy that I am, have offered in the sight of thy majesty, may be acceptable unto thee and may through thy mercy, obtain thy favor for myself and for all those in whose behalf I have offered it. Who livest and reignest, God, throughout all ages of ages. Amen.
The blessing of God Almighty, the X Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit descend upon you, and remain with you always. R. Amen.
V. X The Beginning of the Holy Gospel according to John.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made; in him was life, and the life was the light of men; and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all men through him might be-lieve. He was not that light, but was sent to bear witness of that light. That was the true light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as re-ceived him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his Name; which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (Here genuflect) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us; and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
