Exegesis

The participle hegiasmene {ἡγιασμένη | hē-gia-sme-Nḗ} is a perfect passive nominative feminine singular agreeing with prosphora and forming a participial phrase hegiasmene en pneumati hagio {ἡγιασμένη ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ | hē-gia-sme-Nḗ en PNEU-ma-ti ha-GÍ-ō}, which explains the manner or basis of that acceptability: the offering is “having been sanctified in the Holy Spirit.” The perfect passive aspect underscores a completed, divinely effected consecration with ongoing results.
