Divine Liturgy: spelling
The Orthodox Church believes, that the Holy Spirit is always ''"everywhere present and fills all things."'' The invocation of the Holy Spirit at the [[Divine Liturgy]] is the solemn affirmation that everything in life which is positive and good is accomplished by the Spirit of God.
During the '''Epiclesis''', the people join their harts hearts to the words and actions of the priest as he petitions God to make these gifts holy. The bread and wine offered in remembrance of Christ, are the gifts to be changed into the [[Eucharist|Body and Blood of Christ]].
