I agree with ophadece. The instructions presented in the deacon service book have their roots in other Church canons like those of St. Athanasius and St. Basil and were repeated in canons of the middle ages particularly in those of Pope Cyril Ibn Lu…

To his credit, Origen had influene on many of the Church heroes like St Athanasius, St, Basil, St Gregory. At the same time, Origen was excommunicated by Pope Demtrius, his writings were condemned by St Makarius and St Tawfilos. The Church till toda…

Do not think that the excommunication of St John and his recommunion was a unilateral decision by either St. Theophilus or St. Cyril. The whole Church agreed on both decisions.
As for Origen, he is not treated on the same level as Arius or Sabilius…
This your choice but it is against the biblical and the Church teachings as I have explained. I am not talking about this particular hymn, but the belief of yours that we only ask the prayers of canonical saints.

Asking the prayers of others is a biblical teaching as we will see below. Following we ask the prayers of others who are still living like parents, friends, spiritual leaders like the priest, the bishop. We also ask the prayers of those who reposed …

In the comemoration we remember all those who reposed in the faith and ask for their blessings regardless of whose names mentioned. So, we should say the whole response in its entirety.
