be exultant, dance and leap for Joy,
for you have witnessed Christ the
King coming forth as Bridegroom
from the Tomb.
So let the sinners perish from the Sight
of God, and let the Righteous be
glad.
The Myrrh-bearing Women at dawn very
early, standing outside the Tomb of
the Giver of Life, found an Angel
who was seated upon the stone.
And the Angel addressed them and
said: Why do you seek among the
dead the One Who is alive? Why do
you grieve as though corruptible the
Incorrupt? So go back and proclaim
it to His Disciples.
This is the Day the Lord made; let us
greatly rejoice and be glad therein.

Thee this Evening Worship, for in
the Fullness of time, Thou filled the

His Mercy rules over us; and the
Truth of the Lord endures forever.
Thou were first, O Ever Memorable
Emperor, to submit the imperium
willingly to Christ, knowing Him as
God, Universal Sovereign, the
Worlds Benefactor and Giver of
Victories, Who is above all power
and authority. Then Jesus, as
Saviour of our soul, O Christ-Loving
Constantine, was from that time the
Guiding Force of Thy reign, in His
Love for mankind.
and to the Holy Spirit
Thou received the advantages of
abundant Gifts from God, O
Mightiest King Constantine the
Great, and Thou distinguished
Thyself in them. Through Baptism,
Thou were Illumined by the Rays of
the All Holy Spirit. Thou became
invincible among Emperors; and to
Thy Creator Thou conferred, as a
donation, the Empire and the God-
fearing Ruling City. Therefore never
cease entreating Christ our God, to
Whom Thou speak with confidence,
that He grant Forgiveness of sins
and Great Mercy, to all who observe
Thy memory.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of
ages.
Amen
O Lord, as Thou passed by on the road,
Thou found a man who was blind
from birth. Thy Disciples wondered
and asked Thee: Teacher, who was
it who sinned this man or his
parents that he was born blind?
And Thou, O My Saviour, said to
them: Neither this man nor his
parents sinned, but that the Works
of God should be revealed in him. I
must Work the Works of Him Who
sent Me, which no one can work.
When Thou had said these things,
Thou spat upon the ground and

READER Solomon stood before the
Altar of the Lord in the presence of
the Assembly of Israel, and spread
out his hands towards Heaven, and
said: O Lord God of Israel: there is
no God like Thee in Heaven Above,
nor on Earth, below, keeping
Covenant and Mercy with Thy
servant who walks before Thee with
all his heart...
...If the Heaven, and the Heaven of
Heavens is insufficient for Thee, how
much less even this Temple I built in
Thy Name?
Yet, regard my Prayer, O Lord God of
Israel, hear the Prayer that Thy
servant is praying before Thee today,
that Thine Eyes might be open
towards this Temple day and night
towards the place of which Thou
said: My Name shall be there... to
hear the Prayers Thy servant prays
in this place day and night.
And Thou wilt hear the Supplication of
Thy servant, and of Thy people
Israel, when they pray towards this
place.
And Thou wilt hear in Thy Dwelling
Place in Heaven, and Thou shalt do
and be Gracious.

THE HOLY PROPHECIES

Sofia! Proshomen!
Righteousness goes forth as Light,
and My Salvation burns like a Lamp.
And the Gentiles will behold Thy
Righteousness, and Kings Thy Glory.
one will call Thee by Thy New
Name, which the Lord shall name.
And Thou shalt also be a Crown of
Beauty in the Lords Hand, and the
Diadem of a Kingdom in the Hand of
Thy God.
Thou shalt no longer be called
Forsaken, and Thy Land shall not
be called Desert, for Thou shalt be
called My Pleasure
Thou shalt be called My Will, and in
Thy Land, the Inhabited Earth...
And as a young man lives in Wedlock
with a Virgin, so shall your sons
dwell with Thee.
Bride, so shalt the Lord Rejoice over
Thee.
