20 JULI-SEPTEMVRI / JulY-SepTemBeR 2014 RelIgIouS eDuCATIoN Eucharist in the Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit. Lift up your hearts. We have them in the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord. That is proper and right. We thank Thee God through Thy beloved servant Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent in the latter times to be our Savior and Redeemer and the messenger of Thy counsel, the Logos who went out from Thee, through whom Thou hast creat- ed all things, whom Thou wast pleased to send out from heav- en into the womb of the Virgin, and in her body He became incarnate and was shown to be Thy Son born of the Holy Ghost and of the Virgin. In order to fulfill Thy will and to make ready for Thee a holy people, He spread out His hands when He suffered in order that He might free from sufferings those who have reached faith in Thee. And when He gave Himself over to voluntary suf- fering, in order to destroy death, and to break the bonds of the devil, and to tread down hell, and to illuminate the righteous, and to set up the boundary stone, and to reveal the Resurrection, He took bread, gave thanks, and said: 'Take, eat, this is my body which is broken for you.' In the same manner also the cup, and said: 'This is my blood which is poured out for you. As often as you do this you keep my memo- ry.' When we remember His death and His resurrection in this way, we bring to Thee the bread and the cup, and give thanks to Thee, because Thou hast thought us worthy to stand before Thee and to serve Thee as priests. And we beseech Thee that Thou wouldst send down Thy Holy Spirit on the sacrifice of the church. Unite them, and grant to all the saints who par- take in the sacrifice, that they may be filled with the Holy Spirit, that they may be strengthened in faith in the truth, in order that we may praise and laud nee through Thy servant, Jesus Christ, through whom praise and honor be to Thee in Thy holy church now and forever more. Amen. (to be continued) Hieromartyr Hippolytus the Pope of Rome
