be joyous! The memory of the
Prize;winning Martyr has come
upon us, gladdening the Faithful.
Therefore, come all who are fond
of Feasts: let us celebrate it
Mystically. For, as a Good Soldier,
he stood up manfully against the
tyrants and put them utterly to
shame, and thus emulated the
Passion of Christ our Saviour. He
had no mercy on the clay vessel of
his own body, but rather taking it
naked, he reforged and exchanged
it by means of tortures. Unto him
let us cry aloud: O Victorious
Martyr, earnestly entreat for the
Salvation of our souls!

darkness; and the earth from fear
was quaking; and the curtain of the

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget
not all His Benefits: Who forgives
all your iniquities, Who heals all
your diseases, Who Redeems your
life from destruction, Who crowns
you with Loving;kindness and
tender Mercies, Who satisfies your
mouth with Good Things, so that
your youth is renewed like the
eagle’s.
The Lord executes Righteousness and
Justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known His Ways to
Moses, His Acts to the Children of
Israel. The Lord is Merciful and
Gracious, slow to anger, and
abounding in Mercy.
He will not always struggle with us,
nor will He keep His Anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according
to our sins, nor punished us
according to our iniquities.
For, as the heavens are high above the
earth, so Great is His Mercy
towards those who fear Him.
As far as the East is from the West, so
far has He removed our
transgressions from us.
Lord pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame; He
remembers that we are but dust.
As for man, his days are like grass;
as a flower of the field, so he
flourishes. For the wind passes
over it and it is gone. And the
place remembers it no more.
