Thou hast given thy grace through thine apostles, O good physician, lover of mankind, to heal the wounds and sicknesses of all men through thy holy oil. Therefore, as being loving-kind, him that now faithfully to thy mercy hieth sanctify, have mercy upon him, and cleanse him from all sickness, and count him worthy of thy corruptless sweetness, Lord. O lover of mankind incomprehensible, who, with thine unseen hand, as being loving-kind, sealest our senses with thine oil divine; look down from heaven, and give to him that faithfully betaketh him to thee, and asketh pardon of iniquities, healing of soul and body, that he may glorify thee lovingly, and magnify thy might. Through the anointing with thine oil, and through the touching of thy priests, O lover of mankind, hallow thy servant from on high, free him from sicknesses, cleanse him from soul’s defilement, wash him, O Saviour, and deliver him from scandals manifold; tranquilize his grief, remove his hindrances, and banish his afflictions, as being merciful and loving-kind. _Glory. Both now. Theotokion._ O most pure royal palace much extoll’d, I pray thee, cleanse my mind defil’d by every kind of sin; and make it a meet dwelling-place for the most holy Trinity, that I thy worthless servant, being sav’d, may magnify thy might and mercy measureless. _Then_, Trisagion. O most holy Trinity.... _After_ Our Father.... For thine is the kingdom.... _Then troparion, tone iv._ Thou that alone art quick to help, O Christ, make manifest from on high a speedy visitation to thine ailing servant: deliver him from sicknesses and bitter pains, and raise him up, that, without ceasing, he may praise and glorify thee, through the God-bearing one’s entreaties, O thou sole lover of mankind. _And after these the deacon, or the first of the priests, saith this ectenia._ In peace let us pray to the Lord. For the peace that is from above.... For the peace of the whole world.... For this holy temple, and for them that with faith.... That this oil may be blessed by the might, and operation, and descent of the Holy Ghost, let us pray to the Lord. For the servant of God, _name_, and for his visitation by God, and for the coming upon him of the grace of the Holy Ghost, let us pray to the Lord. For his deliverance and ours from every affliction, passion, and want. Help us, save us, have mercy on us, and keep us, O God.... Commemorating our most holy, most pure.... _Then the first of the priests saith the prayer of oil over the cruet._ _Note. Be it known that in the great church they pour wine instead of water into the cruet of prayer-unction._ Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.
