The chief Purpose of our life
It is neither food nor favourable living conditions

is to live in Communion with God. that ensure our Health,

For this Purpose but rather a Holy Life –
the Son of God became Incarnate, a Life in Christ.
in order to return us I know Ascetics who Fasted very strictly
to this Divine Communion,
and never had anything wrong with them.

Nobody risks getting ill from Fasting.

He said to him: “Why do you call Me
‘Good’? No one is Good - except
God!
“If you want to enter into Life, keep the
Commandments.”
He asked Him: “Which?”
Jesus replied: “’Thou shalt not murder.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt
not bear false witness. Honour thy
father and thy mother.’ and ‘Thou
shalt Love thy neighbour as
thyself.’”
The young man said to Him: “All these
things I have kept from my youth.
What do I still lack?”
Jesus said to him: “If you want to be
Perfect, go, sell what you have and
give to the poor; and you will have
Treasure in Heaven. And come,
follow Me!”
When the young man heard His Words,
he went away sorrowful, for he had
great possessions.
said to His Disciples: “Truly, I
say to you: it is difficult for a rich
man to enter the Kingdom of
Heaven.
“Again, I say to you: it is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a
needle than for a rich man to enter
the Kingdom of God.”
When His Disciples heard that, they
were greatly astonished, saying:
“Who then can be Saved?”
Jesus looked at them and said: “With
men this is impossible –with God all
things are possible!”

Christ has risen from the dead - the
First Fruit of those who repose. The
First Born of Creation and Creator
of all that has come to be, has
renewed in Himself the corrupted
nature of our race. Death, you no

things has destroyed your power.
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

Having tasted Death in the Flesh, O
Lord, Thou hast cut out the
bitterness of Death by Thy Rising
and granted mankind Strength
against it, announcing the abolition
of the ancient Curse. Defender of

M ATTHEW
Praise Him, all His Angels; praise Him,
all His Powers. To Thee praise is
due, O God.
To execute upon them the Judgement
that is Decreed; such Glory will be
for all His Holy Ones.
Come, all ye Nations, acknowledge the
Power of the dread Mystery; for
Christ our Saviour, the Word in the
beginning, was Crucified for us and
willingly buried and Arose from the
dead to Save the whole Universe: Let
us Worship Him!
Praise God in His Saints; praise Him
in the firmament of His Power.
Thy guards recounted all the Marvels, O
Lord, but, by filling their right hand
with gifts, the Sanhedrin of folly
thought to conceal Thy Resurrection,
which the world Glorifies: Have
Mercy on us!
Praise Him for His Mighty Acts;
praise Him according to the
greatness of His Majesty
receiving proof of the Resurrection.
For Mary Magdalene came to the
Tomb, found an Angel seated on the
stone, and dazzling in shining
raiment, who said: Why dost ye seek
the Living with the dead? He is not
here, but He has Arisen as He said,
and goes before you into Galilee.
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute and
harp.
In Thy Light, O Master Who Loves
mankind, we shall see Light. For
Thou Arose from the dead, granting
Salvation to the human race, so that
all Creation may Glorify Thee, the
Only Sinless One: Have Mercy on us!
- BY ANATOLIOS - TONE 3
Praise Him with timbrel and dance;
praise Him with strings and pipe
At Thy Glorious Dormition, the
Heavens rejoiced and the Hosts of
Angels exulted; the whole Earth was
jubilant, singing Odes of departure

Virgin, adorned with Divine Glory,

together as Miriam did of old,
coming forward with timbrels and
dance, singing to Thine Only Son;
for in Glory He has been Glorified.
OD E 3 Christ, Wisdom of God and His
Creating and Almighty Power:
establish Thy Church without guile,
and unshaken; for Thou alone art
Holy, O Thou Who dwells among the
Holy.
OD E 4 The sayings of the Prophets, O
Christ, and their Symbols explained
clearly Thine Incarnation of the
Virgin; and the Brilliance of Thy
Lightning sends forth Light to the
Gentiles, and the deep calls out to
Thee, shouting with Joy: Glory to
Thy Might, O Lover of mankind!
OD E 5 Verily, I proclaim, O Christ, the
Divine Goodness of Thine Ineffable
Virtues; for Thou rose from Eternal
Glory like a Ray, Co-Eternal in Thy
Person, and Incarnate in the Virgin’s
Womb, bringing forth to those in
Darkness and Error, the Sun.
OD E 6 The Fire in the vitals of the
deep-born whale was Symbolic of
Thy Three-Day Burial, of which
Jonah was an Exemplar; for having
escaped without hurt when he was
swallowed, he shouted, saying: I will
sacrifice to Thee with the voice of
Thanksgiving, O Lord.

bestial wrath and fire, moistening

Let us gather with the Disciples on the
Mount in Galilee to behold Christ in
faith, saying, I have received the
Power of those on High and those

Baptise all the nations in the Name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit, and how He is
present with His initiates to the end
