Absolution of the Son

The priest covers the bread and the grape wine with corporals, then he covers them both with the prospherin with the help of the deacon, and then puts another corporal on top of it. The priest bows down towards the east and kisses the altar. Then he moves to the northern side of the altar where the deacon bows before the priest. The priest blesses the deacon and they both kiss the altar and proceed around it. They both step down from the sanctuary with their left foot while facing the east. Then, during the Liturgy of St. Basil, the priest or the high priest, if present, stands behind all the other servants and says inaudibly

Master, Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son and Logos of God the Father, Who has broken every bond of our sins through His saving, life-giving sufferings.

أيها السيد الرب يسوع المسيح ابن الله الوحيد وكلمة الآب الذى قطع كل رباطات خطايانا من قبل آلامه المخلصة المحيية.

Who breathed into the face of His holy Disciples and saintly Apostles, and said to them:

Vh`etafnifi `e'oun 'en `p\o `nnef`agioc `mmaqhthc> ouo\ `n`apoctoloc `eqouab `eafjoc nwou.

الذى نفخ فى وجه تلاميذه القديسين ورسله الأطهار، وقال لهم:

“Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins ye will remit, they are remitted to them, and those which ye will retain, they shall be retained.”

Je si nwten `noup/n/a/ efouab> nh`etetennaxa nounobi nwou `ebol cexh nwou `ebol> ouo\ nh`etetenna`amoni `mmwou cena`amoni `mmwou.

اقبلوا الروح القدس، من غفرتم لهم خطاياهم غفرت ومن أمسكتموها عليهم أمسكت.

Thou also now, our Master, through Thine holy Apostles, hast given grace to those who for a time laboured in the priesthood in Thine Holy Church, to forgive sin upon the earth, and to bind and to loose every bond of iniquity.

أنت الآن أيضا يا سيدنا من قبل رسلك الأطهار أنعمت على الذين يعملون فى الكهنوت كل زمان فى كنيستك المقدسة أن يغفروا الخطايا على الأرض ويربطوا ويحلوا كل رباطات الظلم.

Now, also, we ask and entreat Thy Goodness, Lover of mankind, for Thy servants (…).
