O ye incorporeal angels who stand before the throne of God, luminous with the brilliance thereof and everlastingly shining with radiance. As secondary luminaries, entreat Christ, that He grant unto our souls peace and great mercy. O immortal messengers of the truly incorruptible Life, ye most blessed ones who received life from the first Life, ye have become holy beholders of the eternal Wisdom, full of light, and reflecting lamps shown forth as is meet. O ye archangels and angels, principalities, thrones, dominions, six-winged seraphim, and divine, many-eyed cherubim, instruments of wisdom, virtues and powers most divine. Pray ye to Christ, that He grant our souls peace and great mercy. Archives:

Bridegroom Matins will last until around 10:30 AM each day. The name comes from the beginning of the troparion of each
day - "Behold, the Bridegroom is coming in the middle of the night. Blessed is the servant He shall find awake. But the one He
shall find neglectful will not be worthy of Him...."
The remainder of each day, until approximately 4:00 PM, will be spent praying the canonical hours. These are ordinarily
the shortest of the Divine Praises, lasting only 15 to 30 minutes, but at the beginning of Holy Week they serve as the
foundation for the complete reading of the Holy Gospels. On Monday, we will read the entire gospel of St. Matthew and begin
that of St. Mark. On Tuesday we will complete Mark's gospel and begin St.Luke's. Finally, on Wednesday we will complete
Luke's gospel and read the first 12 chapters of St. John's. (Most of the remainder of the Gospel of John will be read Thursday
evening). If you are able, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING A PORTION OF YOUR TIME EACH DAY to help with the reading of the Gospels.
Hearing them read in this continuous manner offers a perspective of the Life of Jesus that is often missed when hearing a
single gospel account read at Liturgy.
Food Sunday Third Sunday of the month-bring non-perishable food items, soap, and toiletries for distribution to the needy.
Collection for March 16 - $735.50 God bless you for your generosity. Last updated: 7-Apr-2003 |
