Embolism
The embolism ( ancient Greek ἐμβάλλειν "to throw in, to insert", as a noun "to intervene") is a suffix to the Our Father , which is used in the liturgy of the Catholic Church . In the Roman rite of Holy Mass , a short prayer, embolism, is sung or spoken by the celebrant between the requests of the Our Father and doxology (Greek “praise”) , which is a continuation of the last request.
It reads:
- Deliver us, Lord Almighty Father, from all evil and give peace in our day. Come to our aid with your mercy and keep us from confusion and sin, so that we may confidently await the coming of our Savior Jesus Christ.
- (Latin: Libera nos, quaesumus, Domine, ab omnibus malis, da propitius pacem in diebus nostris, ut, ope misericordiae tuae adiuti, et a peccato simus semper liberi et ab omni perturbatione securi: exspectantes beatam spem Christi et advent Iesu Salvatoris n. )
This is followed by doxology : “For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
The prayer for peace and redemption from evil in embolism may have its origin in the time of Pope Leo the Great (440–461). In the turmoil of the Great Migration and the sack of Rome by the Vandals , strife and war raged.
The sung or spoken embolism is part of the liturgy of the Roman rite of Holy Mass. There is no embolism in the Basil and Chrysostom liturgy . In the Mozarabic rite , on the other hand, embolism is also prayed in the prayer of the hours at lauds and vespers .
