I know there are several Eastern-Rite Catholics who post here, so you might be able to help me. What are the most distinctive phrases from the Divine Liturgy, in Greek? To give some background, I'm writing  Greek textbook for 6-8th grade, and I'm trying to include as much Greek used in Catholic liturgy as I can. I've got the Kyrie, the Trisagion from Good Friday, and the Alpha and Omega  part from Easter Vigil, but that's all I can come up with from the Tridentine Mass.  Any short hymns or prayers in Greek I should definitely include?

Well, you could always throw in the Creed, but you may not want to revive the filioque thing when you get to the "to ek tou Patros ekporevomenon" part.  :-)

Seriously, though, you cannot go wrong with the Trisagion prayers that open all the hours:
1.  Glory to Thee, O our God, glory to Thee.
2.  O Heavenly King...
3.  Holy God... (3x)
4.  Glory...now and ever...
5.  O most Holy Trinity...
6.  Lord, have mercy (3x)
7.  Glory...now and ever...
8.  Our Father...

Or you could go with the three hymns that make it into every Liturgy:
1.  Only-begotten Son... (3rd Antiphon by the Emperor Justinian)
2.  the Cherubic Hymn
3.  It is truly meet... (Theotokion at the end of the Anaphora)
