With a true desire, like the Mother of God and the saints, to surrender themselves and one another to Christ, all cry:

To Thee, O Lord. (DLJC p. 133)

The litany concludes with the exclamation:

Through the compassions of Thine only-begotten Son, with Whom Thou art blessed, together with Thine all-holy and good and life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. (DLJC p. 133)

The choir sings: Amen (DLJC p. 133).

The altar is still closed. The priest has not yet begun to offer the sacrifice. There is much to be done beforehand. The priest prepares to commemorate the mystical supper. The altar now becomes the upper room where it took place. The holy table is the table. The whole temple of worshippers must now be changed into the group of disciples who were present at the Last Supper. From the depths of the altar the priest greets the faithful with the Saviour’s own greeting: Peace to all (DLJC p. 135). They respond:

And with thy spirit. (DLJC p. 135)
