Galatians 2: 20 +++ Lifted up upon the Cross, O Christ, with Thyself Thou didst raise up fallen mankind and didst cast down all the power of the enemy, O Word. Wherefore, I hymn the sufferings of Thee Who suffered and hast delivered me from the passions. Tone 1, Wednesday Matins, From Ode 1

Vespers: 6 PM

the more intense the efforts of his good will—the greater is the grace that he receives from God

it respects only the life in Christ

Each of the faithful has an angel at his side as educator and guide

They have parted my garments amongst themselves

In fact no one lives but by the light of some revelation

for it protects the one who wears it

these bones are the whole house of Israel

whose terror scares away the foul throngs

With all your offerings you shall offer salt

- Psalm 118 (Psalm 117 according to Masoretic Text)

and the Lord will give to Him the throne of His father David
