Introduction:
A rather elaborate rite of reconciliation follows the anaphora. The rite has three sections: reconciliation with God is the form of penitential psalms, breaking of bread, and reconciliation with the members of the worshipping community. The first section consists of psalms 51 and 122 (123). Only the first verse of psalm 51 is performed here. The style of rendition is similar to that of the Commemoration Hymn in # 10, but the mood is different.
