The Great Canon Á-? On Thursday of the Fifth Week of Lent - Page 30 of 59
To St. Mary of Egypt:
Having crossed Jordan's stream, thou didst
find rest by giving a wide berth to the deadening pleasure of
the flesh, from which deliver us also by thy prayers, O saint.
Refrain:
Holy father Andrew, pray for us.
To St. Andrew of Crete:
Eminent as the best of pastors, O wise
Andrew, I pray thee with great love and veneration that by
thy intercessions I may obtain salvation and eternal life.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit:
To The Trinity:
Thee, O Trinity, we glorify, the one God: Holy,
Holy, Holy art Thou, Father, Son and Spirit, simple Being,
Unity ever adored.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion:
From thee, O pure maiden Mother and Virgin, God
Who created the worlds and ages was clad in my clay and
united to Himself human nature.
