Prayer of the Pauline Incense

The priest signs the incense box five times and adds three scoops of incense as explained in the Matins Incense. The priest stands in front of the sanctuary facing the east while holding the censer, asks the deacon to start the prayer and says

Pray.

~}lhl.

صل.

Deacon

Stand up for prayer.

Epi `proceuxh `ctaqhte.

للصلاة قفوا.

Priest

Peace be with all.

Irhnh paci.

السلام للكل.

Deacon

And with your spirit.

Ke tw `pneuma ti cou.

ولروحك أيضا.

Priest

O God the great and the eternal, without beginning and without end, great in His counsel and mighty in His works, who is in all places, dwells with every one.

V; pini]; pi]a`ene\> piatarxh ouo\ piatjwk> pini]; 'en nefcosini ouo\ pijwri 'en nef`\bhou`i> vhet 'en mai niben ouo\ et]op nem ouon niben.

يا الله العظيم الأبدى الذى بلا بداية ولا نهاية العظيم فى مشورته والقوى فى أفعاله الذى هو فى كل مكان وكائن مع كل أحد.

Be with us also, our Master, in this hour and stand in the midst of us all.

}wpi neman \wn pennhb 'en taiounou qai> ouo\ `o\i `eratk 'en tenmh; throu.

كن معنا نحن ايضاً يا سيدنا فى هذه الساعة وقف فى وسطنا كلنا.

Purify our hearts and sanctify our souls. Cleanse us from all sins which we have done willingly and unwillingly.

Matoubo `nnen\ht> ouo\ `ari`agi`azin `nnenyuxh> `arikaqarizin `mmon `ebol\a nobi niben> `etanaitou 'en penouw]> nem penouw] an.

طهر قلوبنا وقدس أنفسنا ونقنا من كل خطايانا التى صنعناها بإرادتنا وبغير إرادتنا.

And grant to us to offer before Thee rational sacrifices and sacrifices of blessing.

Ouo\ mhic nan `eer`procverin `mpek`mqo `n\an]ou]wou]i `nlogikon> nem \anquci`a `n`cmou.

وامنحنا أن نقدم أمامك ذبائح ناطقة وصعائد بركة.

Deacon

Pray for our sacrifice and for those who bring it.

Proceu[acqe `uper thc quciac `hmwn `procverontwn.

صلوا من أجل ذبيحتنا والذين قدموها.

Priest

And spiritual incense entering within the veil in the holy place of Thine holies.

Nem ou`cqoinoufi `m`pneumatikon> eunhou ca'oun `mpikatapetacma> 'en pima `eqouab `nte nh`eqouab `ntak.

وبخوراً روحانياً يدخل إلى الحجاب فى موضع قدس أقداسك.

The priest continues with the three short prayers of the peace, the fathers and the congregation as shown on page 9. Then he offers incense as shown on page 22 in preparation for the Pauline Epistle.
