Amin.

The Kingdom of God is not food and drink, but Righteousness and Ascetic Practice, and Holiness; therefore rich men will never enter it, except those who place their treasures in the hands of the needy. This is what David the Prophet taught when he wrote: “Righteous is the man who is Merciful day in and day out, who delights in the Lord. He walks in the Light; he will not stumble.” All of which was written for our edification, so that, while Fasting, we do Acts of Kindness; and the Lord will grant us – instead of earthly gifts – the Things of Heaven.

Now and ever, and to the Ages of

ages.

with confidence Thou adored the All Precious Cross of Christ.

Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;

praise Him with loud cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Thy prolonged polluted state with all Thy prior defilements like a wall, prevented Thee from beholding the august Holy Sites of Christ. Then Thy mind went to God, when a prick of Conscience and awareness of what Thou had done had their effect on Thee, to a higher Lifestyle, converting Thee. For gazing at the Icon of the Ever Blessed Mary, the Maiden of God, Thou condemned Thine every transgression in the past, O All Lauded One, and then with confidence Thou adored the All Precious Cross of Christ.

I waited patiently for the Lord, and He heeded me; and He heard my Supplication.

After Thou had worshipped in the Holy

Land with rejoicing, therein also Thou received the Salvific means for Thy Road to Excellence. And Thou ran earnestly the fine Way of Virtue. Having crossed the Jordan River’s stream, unhesitatingly Thou began Thy residence in the place where John the Baptist had lived before. And by Thine Ascetical Way of Life Thou subdued the passions’ ferociousness with confidence, O Saint, and carnal throbbings Thou minimised, O Mother Ever Memorable.

And He established my feet on Rock

and kept straight my steps.

Dwelling in the wilderness, Thou

blotted out every image of the passions from Thy soul, having in their place instead printed on Thy soul the sublime Godlike Form of the Holy Virtues. And Thou shone forth to such an extent that Thou were able to fly across the waters, O Blessed One, and levitate above the ground when Thou raised Thy hands up to God in Prayer. Now, O Blessed Mother, All Glorious Mary: as Thou

Him according to the greatness of His Majesty.

O Lord, the Women ran to Thy Tomb to

see Thee, the Christ Who had suffered for our sake, and approaching, they found an Angel seated upon the stone rolled back, with fear but he cried out to them and said: The Lord has Risen! Tell His Disciples that He has Risen: He Who Saves our souls.

Lord, even as Thou came out of the Sepulchre, although it was sealed shut, likewise Thou entered where Thy Disciples were – the doors being shut as well.

Verily, when the Myrrh-bearing Women

saw the stone rolled, they rejoiced; for they saw a Young Man sitting at the Tomb who said to them: Behold! Christ has Risen! Tell the Disciples - with Peter - to hasten to the Mountain; for there He shall appear to you as He foretold., His Beloved Ones!

O Lord, although the grave was sealed

by lawless men, Thou came from the Tomb as Thou had been born from the Theotokos; Thy Bodiless Angels did not know how Thou had become Incarnte, the soldiers guarding Thee did not know when Thou Arose, for both are sealed for those who enquire, but the Wonders have been revealed to those who with Faith worship the Mystery that we hymn: Grant us Joy and Great Mercy!

Praise God in His Saints; praise Him in the Firmament of His Power.

“So go, tell His Disciples - and Peter - that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”

And they went out quickly and fled

from the Tomb, trembling and amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

The Women, when they heard the Angel’s words, cast away their lamentation and becoming Joyful, trembling saw the Resurrection. And behold: Christ drew near them and said: Rejoice!

The whole world was amazed at Thy Divine Glory: for Thou, O Virgin, Who has not known wedlock, has been Translated from earth to the Eternal Mansions to the Life without end, bestowing Salvation upon all

As we celebrate this Sacred and Solemn Feast of the Theotokos, let us come, clapping our hands, O people of the Lord, and Glorifying God Who was Born of her.

ODEODEODEODE 7777

The Holy Children bravely trampled upon the threatening fire, preferring not to worship created things rather than the Creator, and they sang in Joy: “Blessed art Thou and praised above all: O Lord God of our Fathers!”

>We Praise, we Bless and we Worship the Lord!

The Offspring of the Theotokos saved the Holy Children in the furnace. He Who was then prefigured has since been born on earth, and He gathers together all Creation to sing: “O ye Works of the Lord: Bless ye the Lord and exalt Him above all forever!”
