Singing Period of the Colored Triodi. Great Vespers on Saturday

The Seventh Ecumenical Council affirmed that icon painting is a special form of revelation of Divine reality, and through Divine services and the icon, Divine revelation becomes the property of believers. Through the icon, as well as through the Holy Scriptures, we not only learn about God, we know God; through the icons of the holy saints of God, we touch the transfigured person, the partaker of the Divine life; through the icon we receive the all-sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit ...

Seventh Ecumenical Council. Icon of the 17th century. Novodevichy Convent

In the 8th century, the emperor Leo the Isaurian erected a cruel persecution of St. icons, which continued with his son and grandson. In 787, against this iconoclastic heresy, Queen Irina convened the Seventh Ecumenical Council in the city of Nicea, to which 367 fathers appeared.

The Ecumenical Councils (of which there were only seven) gathered to clarify issues of faith, the lack of understanding or inaccurate interpretation of which caused confusion and heresy in the Church. Also at the Councils the rules of church life were worked out. At the end of the 8th century, a new heresy emerged in the Church - iconoclasm. The iconoclasts denied the veneration of the earthly holiness of the Mother of God and the holy saints of God and accused the Orthodox of worshiping the created creation - the icon. A fierce struggle arose around the question of venerating icons. Many believers rose up to defend the shrine, and were subjected to severe persecution.

All this required giving a complete teaching of the Church about the icon, clearly and clearly defining it, restoring the veneration of icons on a par with the veneration of the Holy Cross and the Holy Gospel.

The Holy Fathers of the VII Ecumenical Council collected the church experience of venerating holy icons from the first times, substantiated it and formulated the dogma of veneration of icons for all times and for all peoples who profess the Orthodox faith. The Holy Fathers proclaimed that veneration of icons is the statute and Tradition of the Church, it is directed and inspired by the Holy Spirit living in the Church. The depiction of icons is inseparable from the gospel story. And what the word of the Gospel tells us through hearing, the icon shows the same through the image.

***

The Seventh Council confirmed that icon painting is a special form of revelation of Divine reality, and through Divine services and the icon, Divine revelation becomes the property of believers. Through the icon, as well as through the Holy Scriptures, we not only learn about God, we know God; through the icons of the holy saints of God, we touch the transfigured person, the partaker of the Divine life; through the icon we receive the all-sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit. Every day the Holy Church glorifies the icons of the Mother of God, celebrates the memory of the holy saints of God. Their icons are placed in front of us on a lectern for worship, and the living religious experience of each of us, the experience of our gradual transformation through them, makes us faithful children of the Holy Orthodox Church. And this is the true embodiment in the world of the works of the holy fathers of the VII Ecumenical Council. That is why, of all the victories over many different heresies, only one victory over iconoclasm and the restoration of icon veneration was proclaimed the Triumph of Orthodoxy. And the faith of the fathers of the Seven Ecumenical Councils is the eternal and immutable foundation of Orthodoxy.

And glorifying the memory of the holy fathers of the VII Ecumenical Council, we must remember that it is to them that we are obliged to give gratitude for the fact that our churches and houses have been consecrated with holy icons, for the fact that the living lights of lamps glow before them, that we bow down before the saints. relics, and the incense of incense lifts our hearts to heaven. And the gratitude of revelation from these shrines filled many and many hearts with love for God and spiritualized a completely dead spirit to life.

Troparion to the Holy Fathers of the VII Ecumenical Council, Tone 8:

Thou art glorified, Christ our God, our fathers who founded us shone on earth, and by those who instructed us all to the true faith, Glory to Thee with abundant gratification.

Second troparion to the Holy Fathers of the VII Ecumenical Council, voice 2

We bow to Thy Most Pure Image, Good One, asking forgiveness of our sins, Christ God: by the will of Thy flesh, I was pleased to climb to the Cross, and save me, I also created Thou from the work of the enemy. With this grateful cry of Ti: you have fulfilled all joy, our Savior, who came to save the world.

Kontakion to the Holy Fathers of the VII Ecumenical Council, Tone 6

Even from the Fathers, having shone forth, the Son inexpressibly from the Wife was born by nature, He who sees, we do not sweep away the sight of the image, but, this piously inscribing, we honor it faithfully. And for this, for the sake of the true faith, the Church holds, kisses the icon of the incarnation of Christ.

The dogma about veneration of icons

We do not keep everything new, by writing or without writing, the Church traditions established for us, from them the same is the iconic depiction of the image, as if harmonizing the narration of the Gospel sermon, and serving us to assure us of the true, and not imaginary, incarnation of God the Word, and to similar benefits. Even more one is indicated to others, undoubtedly one is understood by others. By this being, like the royal path, walking along the path of the God-versed teaching of the Saints, our Fathers and the tradition of the Catholic Church, (we are bo, as this is the Holy Spirit living in it), with all certainty and careful consideration we determine:

Like the image of the honest and life-giving Cross, put in the holy churches of God, on sacred vessels and clothes, on walls and on boards, in houses and on paths, honest and holy icons, painted with paints and from fractional stones and from other substances capable of this, arranged, as icons of the Lord and God and our Savior Jesus Christ, and our immaculate Lady of our holy Mother of God, as well as honest angels, and all saints and reverend men. Eliko bo often through the image on the icons they are visible, the ceiling of those who gaze at them, they are labored to remember and love the primitives, and honor them with a kiss and reverent worship, not true, according to our faith, worship of God, hedgehog befits a single Divine nature, but worship in that image , like the image of the honest and life-giving Cross and the Holy Gospel and other shrines with incense and the lighting of candles, honor is given, the yak and the ancients had a pious custom. For the honor given to the image passes to the primitive, and the one who worships the icon worships the creature depicted on it. This is how the teaching of our Saints, our Father, is confirmed, there is the tradition of the Catholic Church, from the end to the end of the earth who received the Gospel.

Thoughts about the icon

In its definitions, the Seventh Ecumenical Council repeatedly indicates what the veneration of holy icons should be, how an icon can be salvific. The Cathedral believes that the main meaning of veneration of icons is not in veneration and worship of the very matter of the icon, not in veneration of the boards and paints or mosaic tiles themselves, but in the spiritual effort, looking at the image, to raise attention to the very source of the image, the Invisible Prototype God. Such a confession of veneration of icons by the Seventh Ecumenical Council places the sacred image as if on the verge of the visible and tangible world and the spiritual, divine world. The icon becomes, as it were, a visible symbol of the invisible world, its tangible seal, and its meaning is to be the bright gate of ineffable secrets, through the divine ascent.

The Seventh Ecumenical Council and the Church Fathers, whose creations were of particular importance at the Council, in particular, perhaps, St. John Damascene, emphasize precisely this sense of venerating icons. Mainly for the fathers of the Council, the icon of Christ and the icon of the Mother of God, especially when She is depicted with the Child, is evidence of the non-falsity of the incarnation of Christ. There is another meaning of such inseparability of the icons of Christ and the Mother of God. As L. Uspensky points out, the icon of Christ is the image of the incarnate God, while the icon of the Mother of God is the perfect image of the deified man, on which our salvation rests. The Word became flesh in order to make man share in the Divine.

The icons of the saints are a confirmation and development of the same basis. The image of Christ not made by hands is, as it were, the first seal and the source of every image, and from it every image proceeds and is born in it, the source of a river that tends its waters into endless life. These waters are the countless wealth of icons generated and originating from the Image of Christ not made by hands and directing the Church in her tireless movement towards the end of times and the Kingdom of the Future Age.

And I also think that the Image of Christ Not Made by Hands is not only a source of sacred images, but also an image that sheds light and sanctifies both the image and the art that is not churchly. For example, primarily the art of portraiture. In this sense, the icon in its church liturgical life is not separated from external art, but is like a snowy peak that spills streams into a valley, filling it and giving life to everything. There is also another intimate connection between the icon and external, non-church painting. The icon engenders in painting, alien to the Church, quite sometimes earthly, a mysterious thirst to become a church, to change its nature, and the icon in this case is a heavenly leaven, from which the dough sour.

WEEK OF THE HOLY FATHERS OF THE FIRST UNIVERSAL COUNCIL

Week 7 after Easter, of the holy fathers of the First Ecumenical Council (sixth Sunday after Easter)

The I Ecumenical Council was convened in 325 in the city of Nicaea under the emperor Constantine the Great. His main task was to expose the false teaching of the Alexandrian priest Arius, who rejected the Divinity and the pre-eternal birth of the Son of God from God the Father and taught that Christ is only the highest creation.

The Arius heresy concerned the main Christian dogma on which all faith and the whole Church of Christ is based, which is the only foundation of all hope of our salvation. If the heresy Aria, which rejected the Divinity of the Son of God Jesus Christ, then shook the entire Church and carried away with it a great multitude of pastors and flocks, overcame the true teaching of the Church and became dominant, then Christianity itself would no longer exist, and the whole world would have plunged into the old darkness of unbelief and superstition. Arius was supported by the bishop of Nicomedia (Palestine) Eusebius, who was very influential at the royal court, therefore heresy was very widespread at that time. To this day, the enemies of Christianity, taking Arius as a basis and giving it a different name, confuse the minds and lead many people into temptation.

The First Ecumenical Council was attended by 318 bishops, among whom were: Athanasius the Great, Spiridon of Trimifuntsky, Nicholas the Wonderworker, and others. christian world pulpit. The Council condemned and rejected the heresy of Arius and affirmed the immutable truth - the dogma: the Son of God is the true God, born of God the Father before all ages and is just as eternal as God the Father; He was born, not created, and consubstantial with God the Father. In order for all Orthodox Christians to know exactly the true teaching of faith, it was clearly and succinctly stated in the first seven terms of the Creed. At the same Council, it was decided to celebrate Easter on the first Sunday after the first spring full moon, it was also determined for the priests to be married, and many other rules were established.

The memory of the First Ecumenical Council has been celebrated by the Church of Christ since ancient times. The Lord Jesus Christ left the Church with a great promise: “I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against her” (Matthew 16, 18). In this joyful promise is a prophetic indication that although the life of the Church of Christ on earth will pass in a difficult struggle with the enemy of salvation, victory is on her side. The holy martyrs bore witness to the truth of the Savior's words, enduring suffering for confessing the Name of Christ, and the sword of the persecutors bowed before the victorious sign of the Cross of Christ.

Since the 4th century, the persecution of Christians ceased, but heresies arose within the Church itself, against which the Church convened Ecumenical Councils. One of the most dangerous heresies was Arianism. Arius, the Alexandrian presbyter, was a man of immeasurable pride and ambition. He, rejecting the divine dignity of Jesus Christ and His equality with God the Father, falsely taught that the Son of God is not Consubstantial with the Father, but was created by the Father in time. The Local Council, convened at the insistence of Patriarch Alexander of Alexandria, condemned the false teaching of Arius, but he did not submit and, writing letters to many bishops complaining about the determination of the Local Council, spread his false teaching throughout the East, for he received support in his error from some Eastern bishops.

To investigate the unrest that arose, the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Emperor Constantine (Comm. 21 May) sent Bishop Hosea of Korduba and, having received from him a certificate that the heresy of Aria was directed against the most basic dogma of the Church of Christ, he decided to convene an Ecumenical Council. At the invitation of Saint Constantine, 318 bishops-representatives of the Christian Churches from different countries gathered in the city of Nicea in 325 A.D. Among the bishops who arrived there were many confessors who suffered during the persecutions and bore marks of torture on their bodies. The participants in the Council were also the great lamps of the Church - Saint Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia (Comm. 6 December and 9 May), Saint Spyridon, Bishop of Trimifuntskiy (Comm. 12 December), and other holy fathers venerated by the Church.

The Alexandrian Patriarch Alexander arrived with his deacon Athanasius, later Patriarch of Alexandria (Comm. 2 May), named the Great, as a zealous fighter for the purity of Orthodoxy. Equal to the Apostles Emperor Constantine was present at the meetings of the Council. In his speech, delivered in response to the greeting of Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea, he said: “God helped me to overthrow the wicked power of the persecutors, but it is incomparably sadder for me than any war, any bloody battle, and incomparably more pernicious for me is internal strife in the Church of God.”

Arius, having 17 bishops as his supporters, held on proudly, but his teaching was refuted and he was excommunicated by the Council from the Church, and the holy deacon of the Alexandrian Church Athanasius in his speech finally refuted the blasphemous fabrications of Arius. The Council Fathers rejected the Arians' creed. The Orthodox Symbol of Faith was approved. Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine proposed to the Council to introduce into the text of the Creed the word "Consubstantial", which he often heard in the speeches of bishops. The Council Fathers unanimously accepted this proposal. In the Nicene Creed, the holy fathers formulated the apostolic teaching on the divine dignity of the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity - the Lord Jesus Christ. The heresy of Aria, as a delusion of a proud reason, was denounced and rejected. After solving the main dogmatic question, the Council also established twenty canons (rules) on issues of church administration and discipline. The question of the day of celebrating Holy Easter was resolved. By the resolution of the Council, Holy Easter should be celebrated by Christians not on the same day as the Jewish one, and certainly on the first Sunday after the vernal equinox (which fell on March 22 in 325).

The Arius heresy concerned the main Christian dogma on which all faith and the whole Church of Christ is based, which is the only foundation of all hope of our salvation. If the heresy Aria, which rejected the Divinity of the Son of God Jesus Christ, then shook the entire Church and carried away with it a great multitude of pastors and flocks, overcame the true teaching of the Church and became dominant, then Christianity itself would no longer exist, and the whole world would have plunged into the old darkness of unbelief and superstition. Arius was supported by Bishop Eusebius of Nicomedia, who was very influential at the royal court, so heresy was very widespread at that time. To this day, the enemies of Christianity (for example, the sect of "Jehovah's Witnesses"), taking the heresy of Arius as a basis and giving it a different name, confuse the minds and lead many people into temptation.

Troparion of Sts. to the Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council, voice 8:

Thou art glorified, Christ our God, / our fathers who founded on earth shone / and by those who instructed us all to the true faith, / Glory to Thee with abundant gratification

Since the days of the Apostles, Christians have used "creeds" to remind themselves of the basic truths of the Christian faith. There were several brief creeds in the early Church. In the fourth century, when false teachings about God, the Son and the Holy Spirit appeared, it became necessary to replenish and clarify the previous symbols. Thus, the symbol of faith now used by the Orthodox Church arose. It was compiled by the Fathers of the First and Second Ecumenical Councils. The First Ecumenical Council received the first seven members of the Symbol, the Second - the remaining five. In two cities, in which the fathers of the First and Second Ecumenical Councils gathered, the Symbol bears the name of Nikeo-Constantinople. When studied, the Creed is divided into twelve members. The first one speaks about God the Father, then through the seventh inclusive - about God the Son, in the eighth term - about God the Holy Spirit, in the ninth - about the Church, in the tenth - about baptism, in the eleventh and twelfth - about the resurrection of the dead and eternal life.

SYMBOL OF FAITH

three hundred and ten saints father of the First Ecumenical Council, Nicaea.

We believe in one God, the Father, Almighty, Creator of all visible and invisible. And in the one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father, that is, from the essence of the Father, God from God, Light from the Light, God is true from God, true, born, not created, consubstantial with the Father, who is all in heaven and on the ground; us for the sake of man and ours for the salvation of him who came down, and who was incarnate and became man, who suffered and was resurrected on the third day, and who ascended into heaven, and judge the pack of the coming to judge the living and the dead. And into the Holy Spirit. Those who speak of the Son of God, as if the time is fast, always not, or as if they were not born before, not be, or as if from those who do not exist, or from a different hypostasis or essence of those who speak of being, or the Son of God is transformable or changeable, these are anathematized by the Catholic Church and Apostolic Church.

The Wisdom of the Holy Fathers about the Knowledge of God

As long as we deal with things outside of God, we cannot contain the knowledge of God. For who, caring for the worldly and immersed in fleshly absent-mindedness, can heed the teaching about God and have the thoroughness of such important speculations? God is incomprehensible and not measurable for everyone, except for those who have tasted from Him Himself what they have received and are aware of their weakness.

God is truly known by a soul worthy and pleasing to Him.

For this was the coming of the Lord, that here still give life to the soul - His Spirit. The Lord came as an Intercessor for you, to call upon the lost, wounded, to return to you the original image of pure Adam.

(Venerable Macarius of Egypt)

As Adam was the beginning of the death of all the living, so our Lord became the beginning of the life of all the dead.

(Venerable Ephraim the Syrian)

He who does not look at the sun will live - after all, a blind person lives knowing about the sun by ear, and souls deprived of the sun of the knowledge of God are dead, even if they thought that they were living.

Just as a mother can give simple bread to a child who feeds on milk, but the child cannot use it, so it would not be impossible for God to offer a higher and supernatural wisdom, but we cannot use it.

A good life disposes to the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of God serves as the protection of life.

An impure life hinders the knowledge of high truths, not allowing the mind to show its thinking.

(St. John Chrysostom)

The seeker of the knowledge of God will have to become outside of pleasures, wealth, fame, everyday worries, and, bringing passions into inaction, perceive the knowledge of God.

God is understood through hearing His commandments and through the fulfillment of what was heard ... You did not know God through righteousness, but God knew you through goodness.

(St. Basil the Great)

There is nothing like the sweetness of the knowledge of God.

It is as indecent for carpenters and gluttons to enter into the study of spiritual matters as it is for a harlot to rant about chastity.

(St. Isaac the Syrian)

Whom (God) enlightens with illumination, thereby allows to see what is in the Divine light: and the enlightened see that, as they love and keep the commandments, and are consecrated into the deepest and most secret sacraments.

Blessed are those who, while still here, have cognized the light of the Lord as Himself, because in the future life they will appear before Him with boldness.

(Venerable Simeon the New Theologian)

At "Lord I have cried" we sing stichera at 10: Sunday 3, Ascension 3 and Fathers 4.

Sunday stichera, voice 6

Victory over hell, / you ascended to the Cross, Christ, / in order to resurrect those who sat in the darkness of death with You; / among the dead - Free, / Shedding life from His light, / Omnipotent Savior, have mercy on us!

On this day Christ, having trampled death, / as he said, has risen, / and gave joy to the world, / so that we all proclaim a song to Him, so to say: / "Source of life, unapproachable light, / almighty Savior, have mercy on us!"

From You, Lord, in all the creation of Jehovah, / where can we, sinners, flee? / On sky? But You yourself dwell there. / To hell? But You trampled death. / Into the depths of the sea? / And there is Thy hand, Lord. / We come running to You, falling to You, we pray: / "Risen from the dead, have mercy on us!"

Stanza of Ascension, Tone 6

The Lord ascended to heaven / to send the Comforter to the world. / Heaven has prepared a throne for Him, / the clouds are His ascent. / Angels are surprised / seeing a Man above themselves. / The Father waits for the One / Whom he has in His bosom from time immemorial; / The Holy Spirit commands all His Angels: / “Lift up, princes, your gates; / all nations, clap your hands, / for Christ ascended there / where he was before! "

Lord, at Your ascension the Cherubims were amazed, / seeing You, God, sitting on them / ascending on the clouds; / and we praise Thee, for Thy mercy is good, / Glory to Thee!

Contemplating on the mountains of the saints / Your ascension, Christ, / the radiance of the glory of the Fathers, / we sing of the light-like image of Your face, / we worship Your sufferings, / we honor the resurrection, / glorifying the glorious ascension. Have mercy on us!

Stichera of St. fathers, voice 6

From the womb you were born before the morning star: / from the Father without a mother before all ages. / Although Arius considers You to be a creature, and not God, / daring to classify You, the Creator among creatures is insane, / and thus collecting the substance for the eternal fire for himself. / But the council, gathered in Nicaea, / proclaimed you the Son of God, O Lord, / to the Father and the Holy Spirit.

"Who tore your robe, Savior?" / - "Arius", - you said, - "who dissected the Trinity is equal to the honored Beginning to divisions." / He refused to consider You as one of the Trinity, / He and Nestoria teaches not to call Your Mother the Mother of God. / But the council, gathered in Nicaea, / proclaimed you the Son of God, O Lord, / to the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Arius falls from the steep of sin, / closed his eyes so as not to see the light, / and, as if on a hook, tormented internally, / by divine power is forced / to give everything that he had, and the very soul, / becoming another Judas in thought and disposition. / But the council, gathered in Nicaea, / proclaimed you the Son of God, O Lord, / to the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Arius the insane / divided autocracy of the Holy Trinity / into three dissimilar and dissimilar beings. / Therefore, the God-bearing fathers gathered together diligently, / flaring up with zeal, like the Theesvian Elijah, / with the spiritual sword they strike / the blasphemer who invented the inglorious teaching, / as the Spirit announced about it.

Glory, voice 6: The mysterious trumpets of the Spirit - / we praise the God-bearing fathers, who sang in the midst of the Church / the song of the consonant of theology, / preached the One Trinity, / unchanging in Being and Divinity, / the dethrones of Arius and the Orthodox people of the champions, / always praying to the Lord / for mercy on our souls.

And now, the Theotokos: Who will not glorify You, All-Holy Virgin? / Who will not sing of the virgin birth from You? / For the Only Begotten Son, who shone out of time from the Father, / He Himself originated from You, the Pure, incarnate inexplicably. / He is God by nature, / and for our sake, by nature, having become a man, / is not divided into two persons, / but is cognized in two non-merged natures. / Pray to Him, Holy One, All-Blessed, / for mercy on our souls.

And readings of the holiday:

1. Genesis reading

Abram, hearing that Lot, his nephew had been taken captive, counted his own household members - three hundred and eighteen - and chased after them to Dan. And he attacked them by night, he and his youths with him, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hoal, which is to the left of Damascus; And he brought back all the cavalry of Sodom, and Lot his nephew, he returned, and all his property, both women and people. The king of Sodom went out to meet him upon his return from the defeat of Khodol-Logomor and the kings who were with him to the valley of Saví - this was the plain of kings. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine - and he was a priest of the Most High God. And he blessed him, and said: “Blessed is Abram by God the Most High, who made heaven and earth; and blessed is God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hands. "

Genesis 14: 14–20

2. Deuteronomy reading

In those days Moses said to the children of Israel: Look, I gave the land before you: come in, take as an inheritance the land about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give it to them and to their offspring after them. " And I said to you at that time, saying: I cannot lead you alone: the Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, today you are like the stars of heaven in multitude. May the Lord, the God of your fathers, add you a thousandfold to how many you have, and may bless you, as He has spoken to you. And I took from among you men wise, knowledgeable, and prudent, and appointed them to rule over you: leaders of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifty, heads of ten, and chiefs of clerks to your judges. And I ordered your judges at that time, saying: “Listen to the litigations between your brothers and judge justly, between the man and his brother, and between the stranger who is with him. Do not respect the person in judgment: whether you are small or great, you will judge. Do not be afraid of the human face, for this is the judgment of God. "

Deut 1: 8-11; 15-17

3. Deuteronomy reading

In those days Moses said to the children of Israel: “Behold, with the Lord your God, the heavens and the heavens of the heavens, the earth and all that is on it. However, the Lord preferred your fathers, having loved them, and chose you, their seed, after them from all nations, to this day. And cut off your cruel heart, and harden your neck no more; for the Lord your God - he is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, a great God, and strong and terrible, who does not honor the face and does not take the gift, judging the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow; and loves the stranger by giving him bread and clothing. And you love an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt. Fear the Lord your God, and serve Him alone, and stick to Him, and swear by His name: He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done with you those great and glorious deeds that your eyes have seen.

And now, Ascension, voice 6: Lord, having fulfilled the mystery of Your providence, / You, having taken Your disciples, / raised them to the Mount of Olives; / and now He Himself has passed the firmament. / For my sake, impoverished like me, / and ascended to where he did not leave, / sent down Your All-Holy Spirit, / enlightening our souls.

Christ, desiring to restore us from ancient corruption, / is nailed to the Cross and placed in the grave. / The women of the myrrh-bearer, looking for Him with tears, wept and exclaimed: / “Alas, the Savior of all! / How did you deign to move into the grave? / If You took possession of your own free will, how were You stolen? / How did you carry you? / And what place has your life-giving body hid? / But, Vladyka, as he promised us, appear, / and stop our tearful sobs. " / When they were crying, the Angel exclaimed to them: / "Stop crying and proclaim to the apostles that the Lord has risen, / granting the world purification and great mercy!"

Verse: A shrine befits Your house, / Lord, for long days. Psalm 92: 5b

Crucified according to His will, Christ, / and conquered death by His burial, / You were resurrected on the third day, like God, with glory, / granting the world endless life / and great mercy.

Glory, St. fathers, voice 4: The annual memory of the God-bearing fathers, / from all over the universe gathered / in the glorious city of Nicaea, / we, the Orthodox congregations, reverently celebrate with faith. / For they Aria of the insidious godless doctrine / with a pious mind deposed, / and expelled him from the Catholic Church, / and clearly the Son of God consubstantial and just as eternal, / existing before all ages / taught everyone to confess in the Creed, / exactly and piously it outlining. / Therefore, we also follow their Divine teachings, / firmly believing, serve / with the Father, the Son and the All-Holy Spirit in one Deity, / Consubstantial Trinity.

And now, on a holiday, the voice is the same: Lord, the sacrament, hidden from the ages and from generations / having fulfilled, as good, / You ascended with Your disciples to the Mount of Olives, / taking with You and Who gave birth to You, / the Creator and all the Creator; / For She, during Your suffering / most of all motherly tormented, / befitting and glorifying Your flesh / enjoy the greatest joy. / And we, having joined it, / glorify Your great mercy, / during Your ascent to heaven, O Lord, / which is over us!

Sunday Canon Tone 6

Irmos: How Israel walked on land / along the abyss with his feet / and cried out, seeing the persecutor of Pharaoh to the drowning: / "Let us sing a victory song to God!"

Chorus: Glory, Lord, to Thy holy resurrection.

With outstretched hands on the Cross / You have filled everything with the good pleasure of the Father, the good Jesus. / Therefore, the victory song / we will all sing to You.

With fear, like a slave, / death, obeying the command, / comes to You, the Lord of life, / through her who gave us / endless life and resurrection.

Theotokos: Accepting Your Creator, as He Himself desired, / from Your seedless womb / incarnating above the mind, Pure, / You became truly the Mistress of all creations.

Canon of Ascension Tone 5

Irmos: Savior to God:

Let us sing, all people, to Christ, / on the shoulders of the Cherubim ascended with glory, / and to him who seated us with Him to the right of the Father, / a victory song, for He was glorified.

The mediator between God and people - Christ / the host of Angels, seeing on the heights with flesh, were amazed / but in agreement sang a song of victory / (for He was glorified.)

To God, who appeared on Mount Sinai / and gave the law to the God-seer Moses, / from the Mount of Olives to ascended flesh - / We will all sing to Him, / for He was glorified.

Theotokos: Most Pure Mother of God! / Incarnate from You / and from the bowels of the Parent of the not separated God / constantly pray from all misfortune / to save those whom He created.

Canon of St. fathers, voice 6

Song 1

Irmos: How Israel went overland:

Praising the Holy Fathers of the All-Holy Council, / I appeal to You, Christ, praying / that his all-holy insight / will be preserved in me. (2)

The God-bearing fathers, / like lightning coming together in this day, / You, Christ, clearly confessed the only begotten Son, / the Father with the original and consubstantial.

Glory: Thy Bride, Vladyka, the Church, / putting on wedding clothes, glorious, / you, having accurately stated the definition of faith, / as adorned it with excellent gold utensils.

And now, the Theotokos: AND s adorned with divine glory / reverently revered Queen / Her Son and God are ahead, / pleading for our spiritual salvation.

Confusion: The tongue-tied Moses, / divinely hidden in darkness, / clearly set forth God's written law, / for, casting impurity from the mind's eye, / he sees Jehovah and learns the knowledge of the Spirit, / glorifying Him with divine songs.

Song 3

Canon sunday

Irmos: There is no saint / like You, my Lord my God, / who has exalted the dignity of those who are faithful to You, the Good One, / and who have established us on the stone / of Your confession.

Seeing God crucified by the flesh, / all creation fell apart from fear; / but with the embracing hand for us the Crucified / was held tightly.

Destroyed to the death of Christ, / the miserable death lies breathless; / for, not enduring the Life of the Divine onslaught, / the mighty is put to death, / and resurrection is granted to all.

Theotokos: The miracle of the Divine birth from You, Pure One, / every law of nature exceeds; / for you supernaturally conceived God in your womb / and, having given birth, you are forever a Virgin.

Canon of Ascension

You ascended, the Giver of life Christ, to the Father / and exalted our race, the Humanitarian, / by Your ineffable mercy.

The Angelic Shelves, seeing their mortal nature / ascending with You, Savior, / in their amazement, ceaselessly sang Your praises.

The hosts of Angels were amazed, / seeing You, with the body ascended, Christ, / and sang Your holy ascension.

Theotokos: Pray incessantly, Pure, / From Thy bosom / for deliverance from the deception of the devil / praise Thee, Mother of God.

Canon of St. fathers

Irmos: There is no saint, / like you, my Lord my God:

Change, and passion, and separation / attributing to the divine birth wickedly, / Arius the mad wicked / with the sharp sword of the fathers is cut off. (2)

As in ancient times, the divine Abraham, waging a war, / all venerable theological fathers / of Thy fierce enemies, Good, / Powerfully destroyed by Thy power. (2)

Glory: The first meeting, composed / of Your priests, / You, Savior, consubstantial with the beginningless Father, / and the born Creator of all / piously proclaimed.

And now, the Theotokos: Neither the word of mortals, nor the tongue is able / to praise You worthily, Virgo: / for of Thee, Most Pure, the Giver of life Christ / was pleased to incarnate without seed.

Confusion: She broke the bondage of a childless womb / and stopped the irrepressible impudence of a large one / in ancient times one prayer of the prophetess Anna, / who had a broken spirit, / was addressed to the Sovereign and God of knowledge.

Kontakion to the Ascension, Tone 6

Having fulfilled the whole plan of our salvation, / and what was connected with heaven on earth, / you ascended in glory, Christ, our God, / not leaving us at all, but staying inseparable / and crying out to those who love you: / “I am with you and nobody is against you! "

Ikos: Leaving the earthly on earth, / what is ashes, giving ashes, / come, let us be sober, mortals, / and we will raise our eyes and thoughts to the height, / we will extend our eyes, and together our feelings, to the heavenly gates: / imagine that we on the Mount of Olives, / and behold the Redeemer on the worn cloud. / From there, after all, the Lord ascended to heaven, / there and gave gifts to His Generous Apostles, / calling them like a Father, and strengthening them, / instructing them as sons, and saying to them: / “I am not moving away from you; / I am with you, and no one is against you! "

Sedalen of St. fathers, voice 4

By the luminaries of the glorious truth of Christ / you have appeared to the world on earth, / truly blessed fathers, / having dried up the heresies of inglorious idle talkers / and extinguished similar flames of confusion of blasphemers. / Therefore, as the saints of Christ, / intercede for our salvation.

Another sedan of St. fathers, the same voice

Glory: The glorious city of Nicea / on this day from all over the earth called to itself / three hundred and eighteen priests / against Arius, who uttered blasphemy / and belittled One of the Trinity, / the true Son and the Word of God; / by overthrowing this heretic, / they confirmed the faith.

And now, Ascension: Having ascended into heaven with glory, / and seated at the right hand of the Father, / from whom he never parted, Christ loving mankind, / and promised to send the Holy Spirit to your wise disciples, / having illuminated our thoughts, give us enlightenment / so that we can ceaselessly sing You, Lord.

Song 4

Canon sunday

Irmos:“Christ is my strength, / God and Lord,” / - the holy Church sings reverently, / crying out of pure reason, / triumphing in the Lord.

The tree of true life has blossomed, Christ; / for the Cross was erected / and, watered with blood and water / from Your immaculate ribs, / gave us life.

The serpent no longer offers me / false deification; / for Christ, the Divine Creator of human nature, / now freely / has opened the way of life for me.

Theotokos: How truly ineffable / and incomprehensible were the mysteries / of Yours, Mother of God, of Divine belly-bearing, / for those who are on earth / and in heaven, Ever-Virgin!

Canon of Ascension

You ascended in glory, King of Angels, / to send us a Comforter from the Father; / therefore we proclaim: / "Glory to Christ, Thy ascension!"

When the Savior ascended from the flesh to the Father, / the Angelic armies marveled at Him and exclaimed: / "Glory to Christ, Thy ascension!"

The lower Angelic Powers called out to the higher ones: / "Raise the gates for Christ, our King, / Whom we sing along with the Father and the Spirit!"

Theotokos: The virgin gave birth, and did not experience the characteristic of mothers; / however, She is truly the Mother, / although she remained the Virgin. / Singing her, we cry: / "Rejoice, Mother of God!"

Canon of St. fathers

Irmos: Christ is my strength:

Having perverted the Orthodox faith with a reckless mind, Arius the ill-fated / by fatherly voices was expelled from the Church, / as a rotten member. (2)

For You, Lord, the host of fathers leading the fight / completely disarmed Your enemies, / and glorified You, as one in nature, Father and Spirit.

Glory: You, God and man, became the mediator / between God and people, Christ; / therefore, knowing you in two natures as one Son, / the wise fathers proclaimed this.

And now, the Theotokos: The dead have shown me / from the plant of heavenly eating; / but the Tree of Life, which appeared from You, the All-Pure, raised me up, / and made me an heir to heavenly delight.

Confusion: King of kings, One from the One, / The only Word that came from the beginningless Father, / the Spirit equivalent to You, as a benefactor, / really sent to the Apostles singing: / "Glory to Your might, Lord!"

Song 5

Canon sunday

Irmos: With His Divine Light, Good, / souls from dawn to You aspiring / illumine with love, - I pray, - / to know You, the Word of God, the true God, / from the darkness of sins / calling to Himself.

Now the Cherubims are retreating before me, / and the fiery sword turns back for me, O Lord, / at the sight of You, the Word of God, - the true God, / who opened the way for the robber to paradise.

I am no longer afraid / of returning to earth, Christ the Lord; / for you, by great mercy, / from the earth, you have raised me, forgotten / to the height of incorruption by your resurrection.

Theotokos: Those who confess You as the Mother of God from the soul, / save, the good world, Lady, / for we are invincible protection in You, / we have as in the true Parent of God.

Canon of Ascension

Having filled everything with joy, Merciful, / You came with flesh / to the higher Powers.

Angelic powers, / seeing You being lifted up, exclaimed: / "Raise the gates for our King!"

The apostles, seeing the Savior ascending, / with trembling exclaimed to our King: / "Glory to Thee!"

Theotokos: As a Virgin after childbirth / we praise You, Mother of God, / for You gave birth to God-Word in the flesh / world.

Canon of St. fathers

Irmos: By His Divine Light, Good:

Truly beautiful are the legs / now proclaiming You, Christ, / Peace, every mind surpassing, / the mind of all Angels and people, / and connecting the world with a multitude of peace. (2)

By the Wisdom and Power of the Father, / by His Word, Christ, hypostatic, / having come together, the sealed / divine teachers reverently proclaimed / the all-holy priesthood by law. (2)

Glory: The waters are clean streams / the teachings of Christ have given the Church to drink, / at the waters of rest you now enjoy, / eternally rejoicing.

And now, the Theotokos: You, the only Divine Parent, pure, / knowing how a shining Lamp, the All-Immaculate, / brilliantly revealing Christ, the Truth to the Sun, / we now call upon Your intercession.

Confusion: Redemptive cleansing from sins / accept the fire-breathing dew of the Spirit, / O children of the Church, luminous; / for now the law has gone out from Zion - / the grace of the Spirit in the form of tongues of fire.

Song 6

Canon sunday

Irmos: Seeing the sea of life / rising in waves of temptations, / I, having resorted to Your quiet haven, cry to You: / "Erect my life from destruction, / Many-merciful!"

Crucified with nails, You, Master, / the curse that was against us, blotted out, / and pierced in the ribs with a spear, / tearing the handwriting against Adam, / liberated the world.

Adam, defeated by deception, / was brought down into the abyss of hell; / but You, God by nature and compassionate, / descended in search of him, / and taking on Your shoulders, / resurrected with You.

Theotokos: All-pure Lady, / to mortals of the Pilot - the Lord - who gave birth! / Calm the excitement of my passions, / fickle and terrible, / and grant silence to my heart.

Canon of Ascension

The apostles, seeing the Creator on this day, / ascending upward, / rejoiced in the hope of receiving the Spirit, / and exclaimed with fear: / "Glory to Thy ascent!"

Angels appeared, / calling out to Your disciples, Christ: / "How did you see Christ with the flesh ascending, / so He will come again, / the righteous Judge of all!"

When the heavenly Forces / saw You, our Savior, / with the body lifted to the heights, / they cried out, saying: / “Great, O Lord, Your philanthropy!”

Theotokos: You, not scorched thorn bush, / and the mountain and the animated staircase, / and the heavenly door we praise with dignity, / Glorious Mary, praise of the Orthodox.

Canon of St. fathers

Irmos: Seeing the sea of life:

He could not hide from the providence of the ineffable / the sower of tares, bearing the name of madness: / for being jealous of Judas, / like that, he dissolved, the most vicious. (2)

The divine, venerable row of fathers / proclaims You, Master, / as the Only Begotten Illumination, / from the being of the Father who shone forth / and, before all ages, the born Son.

Glory: The womb of wicked heresies poured out a source / muddy and unfit for drinking / was dissolved, according to the figurative word, / by the plow of the prayer of the priests inspired by God, / according to God's providence.

And now, the Theotokos: The great among the prophets Moses / from ancient times wrote about You as an ark, / and a meal, and a lamp, and a vessel with manna, / figuratively pointing to the incarnation of the Most High / from You, the Virgin Mother.

Confusion: With propitiation and salvation for us / you shone, the Lord of Christ, from the Virgin, / so as the prophet Jonah from the chest of the sea beast, / completely pluck out of the corruption of Adam, / fallen with all his kind.

Kontakion St. fathers, voice 8

The preaching of the Apostles and Fathers was confirmed by dogma / faith for the Church; / and she, wearing the garment of truth / woven from heavenly theology / correctly teaches and praises the great sacrament of piety.

Ikos: We will hear a sublime sermon / the Church of God, crying out: / “He who is thirsty, let him come to me and drink; / the cup that I am holding is the cup of wisdom, / I have dissolved the drink of truth in it with a word, / it does not pour out the water of wrangling, but the drink of confession. / The present Israel drinks from it / and contemplates God proclaiming: / You see, you see that it is I Myself, and I do not change: / I, God is the first, I am God after that, / and apart from Me there is no other at all. / Therefore those who partake will be satisfied / and will praise the great sacrament of piety! "

Canto 7

Canon sunday

Irmos: He made the oven like a dewdrop / Angel for pious youths, / and God's command, which scorched the Chaldeans, / persuaded the tormentor to cry: / "Blessed are you, God of our fathers!"

Weeping for Your suffering, / the sun was clothed with darkness, / and during the day all over the earth, O Lord, / the light dimmed, crying out: / "Blessed are You, God of our fathers!"

The underworld is illuminated with the light / through Thy, Christ, the descent; / and the forefather, having appeared filled with joy, / rejoiced in delight, crying out: / "Blessed are You, God of our fathers!"

Theotokos: Through You, Mother Virgo, a bright light / ascended for the entire universe; / for You gave birth to the Creator of all - God. / Ask Him, O All-Pure, / may he send us, the faithful, great mercy.

Canon of Ascension

Ascended on a bright cloud / and saved the world, / blessed is the God of our fathers.

Taking on the shoulders of a lost nature, / You, Christ, ascended, / brought it to God and the Father.

He who ascended in the flesh / to the incorporeal Father, / blessed be the God of our fathers!

Taking our mortified nature by sin, / You brought it, Savior, / to your own Father.

Canon of St. fathers

Irmos: Made a stove like a dewdrop:

You defeated the madness of the same name / Arius, who was terribly insane / and uttered unrighteousness about God in high altitude: / for he refused to proclaim to the Son: / “Blessed are you, God of our fathers!” (2)

Imitating the Son of Thunder, marvelous, / Word to the Father with the original / and sitting with Him on the same throne, / with your fiery lips / you teach everyone to proclaim: / "Blessed are You, God of our fathers!" (2)

Glory: As winged ones, to the aid of the Word / you came, blessed ones: / for the Holy Spirit gathered you from the ends of the universe, so that you would cry: / “Blessed are You, God of our fathers!”

And now, the Theotokos: The furnace did not scorch the three youths, / representing the birth of Christ from You: / for the Divine Fire did not scorch You, it possessed in You, / and enlightened everyone, inspiring the cry: / “Blessed are You, who bore God in flesh in your belly.

Confusion: The harmonious melody of musical instruments thundered / calling to honor the soulless idol cast of gold; / the luminous grace of the Comforter / encourages us to cry out in reverence: / "Trinity is one, equal, beginningless, / blessed are You!"

Canto 8

Canon sunday

Irmos: For the pious, You poured dew out of the flame, / and burned the sacrifice of the righteous with water: / for all you do, Christ, by your will alone. / We extol you in all ages.

The Jewish people, who were in ancient times the killer of the prophets, / envy has now made them a god-slayer, / hanged on the Cross You, the Word of God, / Whom we exalt in all ages.

Without leaving the firmament, / and having come to hell, / You, Christ, raised up with You / all the man lying on the rot, / You who exalted you in all ages.

Theotokos: You conceived from the Light of the Word - the Light of the Giver; / Therefore, we praise You in all ages.

Canon of Ascension

The giver of the life of Christ, / in two natures ascended to heaven with glory / and sits next to the Father, / praise the priests, / exalt people in all ages.

From the slavery of idolatry, the creation of the one who delivered / and made him free to His Father, / You, Savior, we praise / and we exalt you in all ages.

He who overthrew the adversary by His descent / and Raised a man by His ascent, / praise the priests, / people exalt in all ages.

Theotokos: To the Highest Cherubim / You appeared, the Pure Mother of God, / in Thy womb carried by them the Wearable / Which, together with the disembodied / we, mortals, glorify in all ages.

Canon of St. fathers

Irmos: For the pious you have exuded dew from the flame:

Kindled by the rays of Your Deity, / Your good shepherds / You have confessed everything that exists as the Creator and Lord, / Whom we exalt in all ages. (2)

The choir of pastors, forever memorable, having gathered now, / divinely speaking about the uncreated Trinity, / teaches everyone to proclaim: / "We extol you for all ages!" (2)

Let us bless the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit of the Lord. Hierarchs, worthy shepherds of wonder / enlighten the Church of Christ, / each in his own measure fulfilling Her with joy / and exalting in all ages.

And now, the Theotokos: Mysteriously in various images / before the prophets all / of You, who bore the Word in your belly: / for He received the flesh from You, / He was dual and came into being; / We extol him in all ages.

We praise, bless, worship the Lord, singing and exalting Him in all ages.

Confusion: Breaks the bonds and irrigates the flame / Trisumplified image of God; / the youths sing, and all the created creation / of the one Savior and Creator of everything / blesses as a benefactor.

Canto 9

Canon sunday

Irmos: It is impossible for people to see God / at Whom the shelves of Angels dare not look; / but through Thee, All-Pure, / the incarnate Word became visible to mortals. / Magnifying Him, / we together with the heavenly armies / We praise You.

You remained unparticipated in suffering, the Word of God, / having joined the suffering in the flesh, / but freed a person from the passions, / becoming a defeat for the passions, our Savior; / for you alone are passionless and omnipotent.

Accepting mortal destruction, / You kept Your body not involved in corruption, / and Your life-giving and Divine soul, Master, / was not left in hell; / but as you rose from a dream, / You raised us up with You.

Ternary: God the Father and the Son of the Beginning / all of us mortals glorify with pure lips / and honor the ineffable and glorious / the power of the All-Holy Spirit; / for you are one omnipotent, indivisible Trinity!

Canon of Ascension

You, the Redeemer of the world, Christ God, / The Apostles, seeing as divinely exalted, / triumphant with fear, magnified you.

Your, Christ, deified flesh / at the height of contemplation, the Angels / pointed out to each other: / "This is truly our God!"

Seeing you, Christ God, / on the clouds rising, / the incorporeal shelves exclaimed: / "Raise the gates for the King of glory!"

Theotokos: Rejoice, Mother of God, Mother of Christ God! / He whom You carried in your womb, / on this day with the Angels contemplating ascending from the earth, / You have magnified.

Canon of St. fathers

Irmos: It is impossible for people to see God:

Having found you with His companions, it gathered you, / armed with a mighty Spirit with power, / to the Father, the primordial and altar-word, / existing for centuries; / You now, all-sacred, / with the heavenly Armies ceaselessly praise him. (2)

The spread of the terrible heresy of Arius, / you, as doctors of souls and bodies, stopped, / Having piously expounded the Creed for all; / holding on to him now, we are your memory, priests, / ceaselessly glorify. (2)

Glory: As truly pure Light, / from the darkness of passions my soul, Christ, deliver, / with intercessions, the Lord, Your servants, / who have now proclaimed you to be without beginning, / not created, but the Creator of everything, / and God, the Father with the original.

And now, the Theotokos: Resurrection has now been granted to the dead / by Your incomprehensible and ineffable gluttony, Lady of the Lady: / for Life, clothed with flesh, shone out of You for all / and the severity of death has clearly dissipated.

Confusion: Rejoice, Queen, glory to mothers and virgins! / For no mobile, eloquent lips, / speaking, can / singing of You with dignity; / every mind is exhausted, / striving to comprehend the birth of Christ from you; / therefore we praise you according to you.

Then: Holy is the Lord our God: (3)

Exapostilary Sunday

At the Tiberias Sea with the sons of Zebedee / Nathanael and Peter with two others / and Thomas were once fishing. / They, at the behest of Christ, throwing their nets to the right, / pulled out a lot of fish. / Peter, recognizing Him, swam to Him. / Appearing to them for the third time, / He offered them both bread and fish on the coals.

Glory, St. fathers: Celebrating the memory of the divine fathers today, / with their petitions we pray to You, All-Merciful: / "Deliver your people from all harm of heresies, O Lord, / and deserve to glorify everyone / the Father, the Word and the all-holy Spirit!"

And now, Ascension: When the disciples looked at You, You ascended to the Father, Christ, to sit with Him. / The angels, hurrying ahead, called out: / "Lift up the gates, lift it up, / for the King has ascended to the initial Light of glory!"

On "Praise" stichera for 8 Sunday stichera, tone 6

Thy Cross, Lord, / - life and resurrection for Thy people; / and hoping for him, / You - our risen God, we sing: / "Have mercy on us!"

Your burial, Master, / Paradise has opened the human race; / and rescued from corruption, / We sing of You - our risen God: / "Have mercy on us!"

With the Father and the Spirit of Christ we will sing, / resurrected from the dead, / and to Him we will cry: / “You are our life and resurrection. / Have mercy on us! "

On the third day, you rose again, Christ, / from the grave, as it is written, / having raised up our forefather with You. / Therefore the human race praises You / and sings Your resurrection.

Other stichera of St. fathers, voice 6

Having combined the art of the soul, / and together with the divine Spirit, having carried out research, / the heavenly and sacred Creed / the venerable fathers inscribed in divinely inspired letters. / In it they teach in the clearest way, / that the Word to the One who gave birth is from the beginning / and in all truth is consubstantial, / openly following the apostolic teachings, / glorious, and all-blessed, and truly God-wise.

All accepting the immaterial radiance of the Holy Spirit, / a supernatural prophecy / in short words and with much intelligence / the blessed fathers spoke with divine inspiration, / as Christ's heralds, / defenders of the teachings of the gospel and the traditions of the pious, / clearly their revelation from above received / and, enlightened, the definition of faith, / taught by God, set out.

Verse: Blessed are you, Lord, God of our fathers, and your name is praised and glorified forever. Dan 3:26

All having gathered pastoral art / and moved with anger by the now righteous, / in all justice drove away / fierce and pernicious wolves, / by slinging the Spirit, expelling them from the fullness of the Church, / as fallen to death and as incurable incurable, / divine shepherds, / as the true servants of Christ / and the sacraments of divine preaching / the most sacred servants.

It reads in the morning

Gospel of John, chapter 21, verses 1-14

1 After this, Jesus again appeared to his disciples by the sea of Tiberias. And he appeared in this way: 2 were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, called the Twin, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others from His disciples. 3 Simon Peter saith to them, I am going to fish. They say to him: we are also going with you. They went and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. 4 And when morning had already come, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus says to them: Children! do you have any food? They answered him: no. 6 And he said to them: Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will catch it. They threw it, and could no longer pull [the nets] out of the multitude of fish. 7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter: This is the Lord. But Simon Peter, hearing that it was the Lord, girded himself with a garment — for he was naked — and threw himself into the sea. 8 And the other disciples came in a boat - for they were not far from the land, about two hundred cubits, - dragging a net with fish. 9 And when they went out to the ground, they saw a spread fire, and on it lying fish and bread. 10 Jesus says to them: Bring the fish that you have now caught. 11 Simon Peter went and pulled out to the earth a net filled with great fish, [of which there were] one hundred and fifty-three; and with such a multitude, the network did not break. 12 Jesus says to them: Come, have dinner. But none of the disciples dared to ask Him: Who are You ?, knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus comes and takes bread and gives them, also fish. 14 This is the third time Jesus appeared to His disciples after His resurrection from the dead.

The Divine Liturgy reads:

Acts of the Holy Apostles, chapter 20, verses 16-18, 28-36

16 For Paul judged to pass Ephesus, so as not to delay him in Asia; because he hastened, if possible, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. 17 And sending from Militus to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the church, 18 and when they came to him, he said to them: You know how I have been with you all the time since the first day I came to Asia.

28 So take heed to yourself and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the Church of the Lord and God, which He purchased for Himself with His own blood. 29 For I know that after my departure grievous wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 And from among you yourselves men will rise up who will speak perverse things in order to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore stay awake, remembering that for three years, day and night, I ceaselessly taught each of you with tears. 32 And now I commend you, brethren, to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to edify [you] more and give you an inheritance with all that are sanctified. 33 Neither silver, nor gold, nor clothing I desired from anyone: 34 You yourselves know that these hands served my needs and those who were with me. 35 In everything I showed you that, while working so hard, you must support the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, for He Himself said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." 36 Having said this, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

Gospel of John, chapter 17, verses 1-13

1 After these words, Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said: Father! The hour has come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son will glorify Thee, 2 because Thou hast given Him authority over all flesh, so that to all that Thou hast given Him, He will give eternal life. 3 But this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who was sent by You. 4 I have glorified you on earth, have completed the work that you have charged me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me with You with the glory that I had with You before the world was. 6 I have revealed Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given Me from the world; they were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they understood that everything that you gave me is from you, 8 for the words that you gave me, I gave them, and they received, and truly understood that I came from you, and believed that you sent Me. 9 I pray for them: I do not pray for the whole world, but for those whom You gave to Me, because they are Yours. 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father! keep them in Thy name, [those] whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as We are. 12 When I was in peace with them, I kept them in your name; those whom You gave Me, I have kept, and none of them perished, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to you, and this I say in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

The Epistle to the Romans of the Holy Apostle Paul, Chapter 4, Verses 4-12

4 Reward to the one who works is not credited by mercy, but by duty. 5 But to him who does not work, but who believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited to righteousness. 6 Likewise David calls the man blessed, to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: 7 Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Does this bliss [refer] to circumcision, or to uncircumcision? We say that faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness. 10 When was it imputed? after circumcision or before circumcision? Not by circumcision, but before circumcision. 11 And he received the mark of circumcision, [as] the seal of righteousness through faith, which [he had] in uncircumcision, so that he became the father of all believers in uncircumcision, so that righteousness could be imputed to them, 12 and the father of the circumcised, not only [those who were] circumcised, but also walking in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham, which [he had] in uncircumcision.

Gospel of Matthew, chapter 7, verses 15-21

15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits you will know them. Are grapes harvested from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree also bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So you will know them by their fruits. 21 Not everyone who says to Me: “Lord! Lord! ”, Will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.

In honor of the uncovering of the relics of St. Leonty, Bishop of Rostov, read:

The Epistle to the Hebrews of the Holy Apostle Paul, chapter 8, verses 3-6

3 Every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; and therefore it was necessary that this one also had something to bring. 4 If He had remained on earth, He would not have been a priest, because [here] there are such priests who, according to the law, bring gifts, 5 who serve the image and shadow of the heavenly, as Moses was told when he began to make the tabernacle: see , it is said, do everything in the image shown to you on the mountain. 6 But this [High Priest] received a ministry that is more excellent than the better He is the intercessor of the covenant, which is established on the best promises.

Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5, verses 14-19

14 You are the light of the world. A city on top of a mountain cannot hide. 15 And having lit a candle, they do not put it under the vessel, but on a candlestick, and it shines on everyone in the house. 16 So let your light shine before people, so that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven. 17 Do not think that I am come to break the law or the prophets: I am not come to break, but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle will pass from the law, until all is fulfilled. 19 So, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches people so, he will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
