At that time, Lawyer stood up to test
our Lord Jesus and said: Teacher,
what shall I do to inherit Eternal
Life?
He said to him: What is written in the
Law? What is Thy reading of it?
Answering he said: Thou shalt Love
the Lord Thy God with all thy heart,
with all thy soul, with all thy
strength, and with all thy mind... and
... thy neighbour as thyself.
He said to him: You have answered
correctly. Do this and you will
Live.
to Justify himself, he said to
Jesus: And who is my neighbour?
Replying, Jesus said: A certain man
went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among thieves.
They stripped him of his clothing,
wounded him, and departed,
leaving him half dead.
By chance, a certain Priest went down
that road, and when he saw him, he
passed by on the other side.
Likewise, a Levite when he arrived
at the place, went and looked, and
passed by on the other side.

THE THEOTOKION, GREAT DOXOLOGY
RESURRECTION APOLYTIKION
Father, from Heavenly Heights look
down with mercy and tend to us by
beseeching Christ our Saviour to
send us a share of His Divine Love
for mankind, Entreating Him to
bestow on our soul, His Great Mercy.
peri What shall we give back to our Lord
for all He has rendered unto us?
Hail, O handy Guide of the blind,
Education of the youth, O Exalted
One, Walker for the elderly, and
Shepherd of the wandering Sheep,
Correction of transgressors, Meadow
of sweetest scents, and the Holy
Spirits Perfumery, Flowing River of
unending Beneficence, Divine Abode
of the All Holy Trinity. Ever
remember us who sing Thy praise
and Deliver us from tribulation and
peril, sickness and torments that
never ends, intently Entreating
Christ our Saviour who bestows His
Great Mercy on the world.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
the Lord appeared to the
Disciples going to the Mountain for
Ascension from earthly things; and
they worshipped Him and learnt
from Him the Power given to Him in
every place. And they were sent to
every place under Heaven to preach
His Resurrection from the dead, and
His Translation to Heaven, to whom
He had promised - not lying - that
He would be with them forever; for
He is Christ God and the Saviour of
our souls.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of
Ages.
Amen
