The Great Canon Á-? On Thursday of the Fifth Week of Lent - Page 18 of 59
Sedalion, tone 8, the work of Joseph:
O divinely shining lights, Apostles and eyewitnesses
of the Savior, enlighten us in the darkness of life, that
we may walk honestly as in the day, routing the
passions of the night with the lamp of temperance and
continence, and may see the glorious Passion of
Christ rejoicing.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit:
Another, the work of Theodore:
O God-chosen band of the Twelve Apostles, offer
now especially prayer to Christ, that we may all finish
the course of the Fast, completing the prayers with
compunction, and zealously practicing the virtues,
that we may attain to see the glorious Resurrect ion of
Christ our God, offering Him glory and praise.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion:
Pray with the Apostles, O Mother of God, to
the incomprehensible Son and Word of God, Who
beyond understanding was ineffably born of thee, that
He may bestow true peace on the world, and before
our end grant us forgiveness of sins, and in thy
extreme goodness make thy servants fit for the
Kingdom of Heaven.
