The video presents a complete recitation of the opening prayers used in an Orthodox Christian service. It begins with the Trisagion, "Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us", chanted three times in succession. The doxology follows immediately: "Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
Amen." A prayer to the Most Holy Trinity then asks for mercy, cleansing of sins, forgiveness of transgressions, visitation, and healing of infirmities for the sake of God's name. After this prayer, "Lord, have mercy" is repeated three times. The doxology is then recited a second time, repeating the same words: "Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
Amen." The sequence concludes with the Lord's Prayer in its traditional form. The recitation includes each petition: the address to the Father in heaven, the hallowing of His name, the coming of His kingdom, the doing of His will on earth as in heaven, the request for daily bread, the forgiveness of debts as we forgive our debtors, the plea not to be led into temptation, and the deliverance from the evil one.
