The Praxis | |||
A deacon proceeds to read the Praxis in Coptic before which he says | |||
The acts of our fathers the Apostles. Their holy blessings be with us. | Ⲡⲣⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲓⲟϯ ⲛ̀ⲁ̀ⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ: ⲉ̀ⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲥ̀ⲙⲟⲩ ⲉ̀ⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ. | أعمال آبائنا الرسل بركتهم المقدسة تكون معنا. | |
At the end of the Praxis, the reader says | |||
And the word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty and be confirmed in the holy church of God. Amen. | Ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ Ⲡ̀ⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲉ̀ⲁⲓⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲉ̀ⲁ̀ϣⲁⲓ: ⲉϥⲉ̀ⲁ̀ⲙⲁϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲉ̀ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ: ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲁ̀ⲅⲓⲁ̀ ⲛ̀ⲉⲕⲕ̀ⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ̀ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ: ⲁ̀ⲙⲏⲛ. | وكلمة الرب تنمو وتكثر وتعتز وتثبت فى كنيسة الله المقدسة. آمين. | |
Then the Praxis is interpreted before which the reader says | |||
A chapter from the Acts of our fathers the pure Apostles who were invested with the grace of the Holy Spirit. Their blessing be with us all. Amen. | فصل من أعمال آبائنا الرسل الأطهار المشمولين بنعمة الروح القدس، بركتهم المقدسة تكون معنا. آمين. | ||
At the end of the interpretation of the Praxis, the reader says | |||
The word of the Lord abides in this Church and in every Church. Amen. | لم تزل كلمة الرب تنمو وتزداد فى هذه الكنيسة وكل كنيسة. آمين. | ||
The Synaxarium is read, then the congregation says the Hymn of the Trisagion. |
