 St John of Kronstadt
St Nikon of Optina
We must fear evil
as much as we fear fire.
In order to fulfil the Commandments and Teachings
We must never allow evil
of our Lord Jesus Christ
to touch our heart -
we must know them!
even if it seems to be just or Righteous!
We must read the Holy Gospel.
No matter what the circumstances,
W must penetrate and understand Its Spirit
we must never let evil enter us!
And we must make it the Rule of our Life.
Evil is always evil!

8. FESTAL MATINS & DIV LIT HYMNS ST MATTHEW LEVI 16 NOVEMBER
Sanctified.
Praise Him with timbrel and dance!
Praise Him with strings and flute!
Sitting in the Upper Room, and in the
Height of the Knowledge of God, Thou
received the Enlightenment of the
Spirit, which appeared to Thee as
Tongues of fire. With Thy tongue on
fire, Thou manifestly burnt away the
false religion of polytheism. O anedihthis
Matthew, we all honour Thee as an
Apostle who spoke of God, and today
we observe the Feast of Thy Holy
Memorial.
Praise Him with resounding cymbals!
Praise Him with triumphant cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise
the Lord!
Thou thundered the Sacred Teachings on
Salvation throughout the world, O
Evangelist Matthew. Thou purged all
Creation of the madness of idols.
Thou, O All Wise Apostle, Illmined
every race on Earth with the
Enlightenment of the Gospel of Christ.
And once thou had destroyed the
temples of the idols, by Divine Grace,
Thou built churches in place of them,
for the Glory and Praise of God.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
songs let us applaud today, O
Faithful, on the occasion of the
Memorial of the Divine Apostle and
Evangelist Matthew. For he threw off
the yok and wealth of being a Tax
Collector, and he followed Christ; and
he became a Divine Preacher of the
Gospel. Thus, as the Psalm foretold,
his Proclamation went forth into all
the Earth. And he Intercedes that our
soul be Saved.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of ages.
Amen
O Lady, receive the Supplications of
Thy servants, and Deliver us from
all necessity and affliction.

Thee, although I be very small. Make
