Introduction

This ancient liturgical tradition holds great significance in the Orthodox Christian faith, offering a profound encounter with the divine presence and an enriching spiritual journey.

Discover the Divine Liturgy

The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is a sacred and reverential worship service that holds deep historical and theological roots. Developed in the Byzantine Empire during the 4th century, it continues to be celebrated to this day with unwavering devotion and reverence.

At Lima First Assembly of God, we passionately uphold this venerable tradition, valuing its beauty, solemnity, and transformative power. Our liturgical service invites individuals to encounter God in a profound and holistic way, providing a pathway for spiritual growth, inner peace, and deeper understanding of the Christian faith.

Unveiling the Liturgy

The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom comprises distinct elements that guide participants through a sacred journey of worship:

1. Proskomedia - The Preparation

Before the Liturgy begins, a sacred preparation ritual known as Proskomedia is performed. It involves the selection and preparation of the bread and wine, which represent the body and blood of Christ. During this ritual, the needs of the living and the departed are also fervently prayed for.

2. Liturgy of the Word

The Liturgy of the Word commences with scriptural readings from both the Old and New Testaments. These readings connect us to the biblical foundations of our faith, providing spiritual nourishment and guidance for our daily lives. The Gospel reading, a pinnacle moment, brings to light the life, teachings, and salvific work of Jesus Christ.

Following the readings, a sermon is delivered to offer profound insights into the Word of God and its relevance to our contemporary world. The sermon illuminates the teachings of Christ, inviting us to apply them in our personal lives, families, and communities.

3. Liturgy of the Eucharist

The Liturgy of the Eucharist is the focal point of the Divine Liturgy. Centered on the Last Supper, it commemorates the sacrificial offering of Jesus Christ for the salvation of humanity. Through ancient prayers and sacred rites, the bread and wine are consecrated, becoming the holy Body and Blood of Christ.

As participants, we partake in this mystical union by approaching the Holy Chalice with reverence and humility. The Eucharist nourishes our souls, bringing us into communion with God and uniting us as the body of Christ.

4. Dismissal

At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, we receive the final blessing and are sent forth to embody the teachings of Christ in our daily lives. The liturgy empowers us to be active witnesses of love, compassion, and justice in our families, workplaces, and communities.
