O Lord our God, Who bows the Heavens

and descends for the Salvation of
mankind: look upon Thy Servants
and upon Thine Inheritance.
For unto Thee, the Formidable and
Loving Judge, have Thy Servants
bowed their heads, and submissively
inclined their necks, expecting not
help from men, but awaiting Thy
Mercy and hoping for Thy Salvation,
with which Thou preserve them at all
times, during this present evening,
and in the approaching night, from
every enemy, from all adverse powers
of the evil one, from vain thoughts

At evening, at morning and at midday

we Praise, Bless and give
Thanks, and we pray to Thee,
O Master of all things, Lord
Who Loves mankind: Direct
our Prayer before Thee like
incense, and do not incline
our hearts to words or
thoughts of evil, but Deliver us
from all who hunt our souls.
For we look to Thee, O Lord,
our Lord, and we hope in
Thee. Put us not to shame, O our God!

Thou

preserved Thyself chaste and

undefiled by men, and thus Thou
became a Bride of Christ, O All
Blessed Euphrosyne.
By Ascetic
Labours Thou withered Thy physical
beauty, but Thy beautiful soul with
the good looks of Grace.
Thou
concealed Thy femininity beneath a
masculine demeanour, Thou live an
Angelic Lie, and thus eluded the
traps of Belial. Now we Entreat Thee
to pray for Peace, for us who extol
Thee with longing; for Thy name
means Joy, and Thou bring Joy to
the world.

Now

and ever, and to the Ages of

ages.

Amen

To

OF THE

the Red Sea, an Image of the Bride

who knew not Wedlock, was
depicted once. For there, of old, did
Moses sever the water; and here is
Gabriel, the Server of the Wonder.
At that time Israel traversed the
deep, without getting wet; and now,
the Virgin gave Birth to Christ,
without seed. The sea, after the
passage
of
Israel,
remained
impassable;
the blameless Maid
remained
incorrupt
after
the
Conception of Emmanuel. O God,
the One Who is and ever was and
Appeared as Man: have Mercy on us.
