Overview
Design: This large format prayer book for private and family prayers is designed to be easily
interchangeable with the highly accessible Holy Transfiguration Monastery prayer book (for Vespers
and Compline) and with the universally treasured Hapgood service book (for Hours and Typica). Those
who are most comfortable with their own familiar books should have little difficulty using them in place
of this volume.

Prayers when the Priest is not present: Laypersons may generally pray the whole order of the Divine
services in their entirety, except the ectenes (litanies) and priestly responses. Where a priest would say:
Blessed be our God… we say: By the prayers of our Holy Fathers, O Lord Jesus Christ our God, have
mercy on us and save us. Amen. The longer ectenes are replaced by ‗Lord, have mercy‘ (12x), and Little
Ectene by ‗Lord, have mercy‘ (3x). Where ―Choir‖ is indicated, it should be understood as ―All‖.

Vespers & Small Compline: The Vespers and Compline format are virtually identical with that of
the Holy Transfiguration Monastery prayer book. The only significant differences in the present text
is the addition to Vespers of the Troparion of the Cross: “O Lord save Thy people and bless Thine
inheritance” and the addition to Compline of t he Ten Prayers Before Sleep (found also in the Jordanville),
and the Hymn: “O Virgin Pure” by St. Nektarios.

3rd, 6th, & 9 th Hours & Typical Psalms: The format of The Hours is virtually identical to the
Hapgood. Psalms are from The Psalter According to the Seventy by Holy Transfiguration Monastery
These are used in both the Holy Transfiguration Monastery and Jordanville prayer books. Korean
Psalms are from the 공동번역. To the format of The Typical Psalms have been added the Sunday
Prokeimenon, Epistle, Alleluias, and Gospel, and Psalm 33 as a Hymn.

Moveable Prayers: The most accessible inserts with the proper stichera, troparia, kontakia, and
readings, are available at: www.antiochian.org/1110642035

holy Name: cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and wandering thoughts; enlighten my understanding
and kindle my affections, that I may fittingly read these hours with attention and devotion, and so may
be meet to be heard before the presence of Thy divine Majesty; through Christ our Lord, Who liveth and
reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever One God, both now and ever and unto all ages of ages.
Amen.

During which the Priest would cense the entire temple while the Beautiful Gates are open. Then they are shut, and the Priest
stands before them quietly praying the seven Prayers at the Lighting of the Lamps (Prayers of Light) while the lamps are
being lit.

The Kathisma
Psalm 1, 2, 3

Choir: Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked. * Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Reader: Nor taken the path of the sinful, nor sat among pernicious men, But who delights in the law of the
Lord, and will meditate on His law day and night. He shall be as tree that is planted near running water, That
shall yield its fruit in due season, and its leaves shall not fall. And in whatever he does he shall prosper. Not so
the wicked, not so: They are like chaff scattered by the wind from the face of the earth. Therefore the wicked
shall not stand in judgment, nor sinners in the councils of the just;

Choir: For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish. * Alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia.

Reader: Why did the Gentiles grow insolent and the people practice vain things? The kings of the earth stood
side by side, the princes conspired against the Lord and against His anointed one. ―Let us burst their bonds and
throw off their yoke,‖ they said. He who dwells in the heavens will laugh them down; the Lord will make light
of them. But then in His anger He will speak to them, and in His wrath, strike terror in them: ―It is I who was
established king by Him on Sion, His holy mountain.‖ Proclaiming the Lord‘s command The Lord said to me:
―Thou art My son; today I have begotten Thee.‖ Ask of Me, and I will give Thee the nations as Thy lot, and the
ends of the earth as Thy domain. Thou wilt shepherd them with an iron staff: like a potter‘s vessels Thou wilt
shatter them.‖ And now, you kings, take notice; be informed, you who judge the earth.

Choir: Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in Him with trembling. * Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Reader: Accept His censure, lest the Lord be angry and you perish from the way of righteousness. When His
wrath is suddenly kindled,

Choir: Blessed are all who take refuge in Him. * Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Reader: O Lord, who do so many taunt me? Many are those who rise up against me; Many who say to me,
―There is no salvation from him in his God.‖ But Thou, O Lord, art a shield around me, my glory: the one who
lifts up my head. I cried out to the Lord in a loud voice, and from His holy mountain He heard me. As for me, I
lay down and slept. Then I awoke, for the Lord will be my help. I will not fear ten thousand people arrayed
against me all around.

Choir: Arise, O Lord, save me, O my God. * Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Reader: For Thou hast stricken all who hated me without cause; Thou hast shattered the sinners‘ teeth.

Choir: Salvation belongs to the Lord, Thy blessing be upon Thy people. * Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Glory to the Father, and to the + Son, and to the Holy Spirit, * Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen. * Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
+ Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to Thee, O God. (x3)

Choir: Lord, have mercy. (3x) [instead of the Little Litany]

Reader: Glory be to the Father, and to the + Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto all
ages of ages.

Choir: Amen.

Lord I Have Cried
The Deacon would now perform the Great Censing while we sing

We chant ―O Lord, I have cried ...‖ in Tone 6 with ten stichera:

Reader: In the 6th Tone: Lord, I have cried out unto Thee, hear Thou me.

have cried out unto Thee, hear Thou me; have cried out unto Thee, hear Thou me;

호소를 들으소서.
Choir: Let my prayer be set forth in thy
sight as incense. And let the lifting up of my Choir: 나의 기도 분향으로 받아주시고 치켜 든

Reader: Set a guard O Lord before my Reader: 야훼여, 이 입에 문지기를 세워주시고

The Creed ( )
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth and of all things
visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of


God, the only-begotten, begotten of the
Father before all ages, Light of Light, true
God of true God, begotten, not made, of
one essence with the Father, by whom all
things were made.

Who for us men and for our salvation came


down from heaven, and was incarnate of
the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and
became man; and was crucified also for us
under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was
buried; and the third day He rose again
according to the scriptures; and ascended
into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of
the Father.

And He shall come again with glory to judge


the living and the dead; of His kingdom

Supplicatory Prayer to the All-holy Theotokos of Paul, Monk of the Evergetides
( )
O undefiled, untainted, uncorrupted, most
pure, chaste Virgin, Thou Bride of God and
Sovereign Lady, who didst unite the Word
of God to mankind through thy most
glorious birth giving, and hast linked the
apostate nature of our race with the
heavenly; who art the only hope of the
hopeless, and the helper of the struggling,
the ever-ready protection of them that
hasten unto thee, and the refuge of all
Christians: Do not shrink with loathing from
me a sinner, defiled, who with polluted
thoughts, words, and deeds have made
myself utterly unprofitable, and through
slothfulness of mind have become a slave to
the pleasures of life. But as the Mother of
God Who loveth mankind, show thy love for
mankind and mercifully have compassion
upon me a sinner and prodigal, and accept
my supplication, which is offered to thee
out of my defiled mouth; and making use of
thy motherly boldness, entreat thy Son and
our Master and Lord that He may be
pleased to open for me the bowels of His
lovingkindness and graciousness to
mankind, and, disregarding my numberless
offenses, will turn me back to repentance,
and show me to be a tried worker of His
precepts. And be thou ever present unto me
as merciful, compassionate and well
disposed; in the present life be thou a
fervent intercessor and helper, repelling the
assaults of adversaries and guiding me to
salvation, and at the time of my departure
taking care of my miserable soul, and
driving far away from it the dark
countenances of the evil demons; lastly, at
the dreadful day of judgment delivering me
from torment eternal and showing me to be
an heir of the ineffable glory of thy Son and
our God; all of which may I attain, O my
Sovereign Lady, most holy Theotokos, in
virtue of thine intercession and protection,
through the grace and love to mankind of
thine only begotten Son, our Lord and God
and Savior, Jesus Christ, to Whom is due all
glory, honor and worship, together with His
unoriginate Father, and His Most Holy and
good and life creating Spirit, now and ever,
and unto ages of ages. Amen.

A prayer to our Lord Jesus Christ, by Antiochus the monk ( )

And grant unto us, O Master, in the coming


sleep, rest for body and soul, and preserve
us from the gloomy slumber of sin, and from
every dark and nocturnal sensuality. Subdue
the impulses of passions, extinguish the fiery
darts of the evil one that are cunningly
hurled against us, assuage the rebellions of
our flesh, and every earthly and fleshly
subtlety of ours lull to sleep. And grant unto
us, O God, a watchful mind, chaste thought,
a sober heart, a sleep gentle and free from
every satanic illusion. Raise us up at the
time of prayer firmly grounded in Thy
judgments. All the night long grant us a
doxology, that we may hymn and bless and
glorify Thy most honorable and majestic
name: of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the
ages of ages. Amen.

the works of thy hands, and we call upon thy name.

Both now and ever, and unto all ages of 이제와 항상 또 영원히 있나이다. 아멘.

Open unto us the door of thy tender-heartedness, O blessed Theotokos; in that we have

thou art the salvation of the generation of Christians.

Ten Prayers Before Sleep

Prayer 1, of St. Macarius the Great, to God the Father

O Eternal God and King of all creation, who hast granted me to reach this hour, forgive
me the sins that I have committed today in thought, word and deed, and cleanse, O Lord,
my humble soul from all defilement of flesh and spirit. And grant me, O lord, to pass the
sleep of this night in peace, that when I rise from my bed I may please thy most holy
name all the days of my life, and conquer my flesh and the fleshless foes that war with
me. And deliver me, O Lord, from vain thoughts and evil desires which defile me.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer2, of St Antioch, to our Lord Jesus Christ

O Almighty Word of the Father, O Jesus Christ, who art thyself perfect, never in thy great
mercy leave me, but ever abide in me, thy servant. O Jesus, good Shepherd of thy sheep,
deliver me not to the rebelliousness of the serpent, and leave me not to the will of satan,
for the seed of corruption is in me. Do thou, O adorable Lord God, Holy King, Jesus Christ,
preserve me as I sleep with thy never-waning light; with thy Holy Spirit, by whom thou
didst sanctify thy disciples.

Grant, O Lord, even unto me, thine unworthy servant, thy salvation upon my bed.
Enlighten my mind with the light of the understanding of thy holy Gospel. Enlighten my
soul with the love of thy Cross. Enlighten my heart with the purity of thy Word. Enlighten
my body with thy passionless Passion. Keep my thoughts in thy humility, and raise me up
in good time to glorify thee, for thou art exceeding glorified, with thy Father which hath
no beginning, and thy most Holy Spirit for ever. Amen.
30
Prayer 3, to the Most Holy Spirit

O Lord, Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, have compassion and mercy on me, thy
sinful servant, and pardon me, who am unworthy, and forgive everything in which I have
sinned against thee this day as a man, moreover not as a man, but even worse than
cattle, my sins voluntary and involuntary, in knowledge and in ignorance: those which are
from youth, and from evil suggestions, and those which are from my brazenness and from
boredom.

If I have sworn by thy name, or blasphemed it in thought, blamed or reproached anyone,


or in my anger have detracted or slandered anyone, or grieved anyone, or if I have
become angry about anything, or have told lies, if I have slept unnecessarily, or if a
beggar hath come to me and I despised or neglected him, or if I have troubled my brother
or quarreled with him, or if I have condemned anyone, or have boasted, or have been
proud, or lost my temper with anyone, or if when standing in prayer my mind has been
distracted by the glamour of this world, or if I have had depraved thoughts or have over-
eaten, or have drunk excessively, or have laughed frivolously, or have thought evil, or
have seen the attraction of someone and have been wounded by it in my heart, or said
indecent things, or made fun of my brother’s sin when mine own faults are countless, or
been neglectful of prayer, or have done some other wrong that I cannot remember, for I
have done all this and much more.

Have mercy, O my Creator and Master, on me thine unworthy servant, and absolve and
forgive and deliver me in thy goodness and love of man, so that, lustful, sinful, and
wretched as I am, I may lie down and sleep and rest in peace; and that I may worship,
and praise, and glorify thy most honorable name, with the Father, and his only-begotten
Son, now and ever, and unto the ages. Amen.

Prayer 4, of Saint Macarius the Great

What shall I offer unto thee? or what shall I render to thee, O greatly bountiful, immortal
King, O Lord, who art generous in mercy and lovest mankind? For thou hast brought me,
who am lazy in thy service and have done nothing that is good, to the end of this day that
is past, bringing about the conversion and salvation of my soul. Be merciful to me a sinner,
devoid of any good deed; restore my fallen soul, made corrupt in boundless
transgressions. And take from me all the evil designs of this visible life; forgive my
transgressions, O only sinless One, in which I have sinned against thee this day in
knowledge and ignorance, by word and deed and thought, and by all my senses. Do thou,
in protecting me, keep me from every misfortune by thy divine power, by thine
inexpressible love of man, and by thy might. Cleanse, O God, cleanse away the multitude
of my sins. Kindly will, O Lord, to deliver me from the net of evil, and save my passionate
soul, and encompass me with the light of thy countenance when thou comest in glory.

And now make me to fall asleep uncondemned, without dreaming, and keep the thoughts
of thy servant undisturbed, and drive away from me all of satan’s actions; and enlighten
the spiritual eyes of my heart, that I might not fall asleep unto death. And send me an
angel of peace, a protector and guide for my soul and body, that he may deliver me from
mine enemies, that arising from my bed I may offer unto thee prayers of thanksgiving.
Yea, O Lord, hear me a sinner and thy pitiful servant, in thy will and concern.

Grant me upon rising to study thy words, and by thine angels drive far away from me
demonic despondency, that I may bless thy holy name, and praise and glorify the most
31
pure Theotokos Mary, whom thou hast given to us sinners as an intercessor, and
receive her as she prayeth for us. For I know that she imitateth thy love of man, and doth
not cease in prayers.

Through her intercession, and by the sign of the precious Cross, and for the sake of all thy
Saints, watch over my pitiful soul, O Jesus Christ our God, for thou art holy, and most
glorified unto the ages. Amen.

Prayer 5

O Lord our God, in whatsoever I have sinned this day by word, deed or thought, as thou
art good and lovest man, forgive me. Grant me peaceful and quiet sleep. Send thy
guardian angel to protect and keep me from every evil, for thou art the Protector of our
souls and bodies, and unto thee do we send up glory, to the Father, and to the Son, and
to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer 6

O Lord our God, in whom we have believed, and whose name we call upon above all
others, grant us as we go forth to sleep rest for our souls and bodies, and keep us from
every fantasy, and moreover, from every dark passion. Stop the rushing of passions, and
extinguish the fire of our bodies’ rebellions. Grand us to live chastely in word and deed,
that accepting a life of good deeds and charity, we may not fall away from thy promised
good things, for thou art blessed unto the ages. Amen.

Prayer 7, of Saint John Chrysostom


(Prayers of supplication corresponding to the twenty-four hours of the day)

Of the day:
O Lord, deprive me not of thy heavenly blessings. O Lord, deliver me
from eternal torments.
O Lord, whether I have sinned in my mind, thoughts, by word or deed,
forgive me.
O deliver me from all ignorance and forgetfulness, from cowardice
and cold insensitivity.
O Lord, deliver me from every temptation. O Lord, enlighten my heart,
which is darkened by evil desire.
O Lord, I have sinned as a man, but thee, as the generous God, have
mercy on me, beholding the infirmity of my soul.
O Lord, send thy grace unto my help, that I may glorify thy holy name.
O Lord Jesus Christ, inscribe me, thy servant, in the book of life, and
grant me a blessed end to my life.
O Lord my God, even if I have done nothing good before thee, grant
me, in thy grace, to make a good beginning.
O Lord, sprinkle my heart the dew of thy grace.
O Lord of heaven and earth, remember me, thy sinful servant, accursed
and impure, in thy kingdom. Amen.
32
Of the night:
O Lord, accept me who repenteth. O Lord, do not abandon me. O
Lord, lead me not into misfortune. O Lord, grant me good thoughts.
O Lord, grant me tears, and remembrance of death, and compunction.
O Lord, grant me the thought of confessing my sins. O Lord, grant
me humility, chastity and obedience.
O Lord, grant me patience, magnanimity and meekness. O Lord, plant
in me the root of blessings, thy fear in my heart.
O Lord, enable me to love thee with all my soul, and thought, and in
all things to do thy will.
O Lord, protect me from certain men, and demons, and passions,
and from every unseemly thing.
O Lord, thou knowest that thou doest as thou dost will; let thy will
also be in me a sinner, for thou art blessed unto the ages. Amen.

Prayer 8, to our Lord Jesus Christ

O Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, for the sake of thy most honorable Mother, of thy
bodiless Angels, of thy Prophet and Forerunner and Baptizer, of thy well-speaking
Apostles, of the radiant and right-victorious Martyrs, of the venerable and God-bearing
Fathers, and through the prayers of all the Saints, deliver me from this present demonic
condition.

Yea, O my Lord and Creator, who dost not desire the death of a sinner, but rather that he
should be converted and live, grant conversion to me also, who am accursed and
unworthy. Snatch me from the lips of the destructive serpent, who is ravening to devour
me and drag me down to hell alive.

Yea, O my Lord, my Comfort, who wast robed in corruptible flesh for the sake of me, who
am accursed, tear me away from damnation, and grant comfort to mine accursed soul.
Implant in my heart the desire to do thy commands, to forsake evil acts, and to receive
thy blessings.

Save me, O Lord, for in thee have I hoped.

Prayer 9

O Good Mother of the Good King, most pure and blessed Theotokos Mary, pour out the
mercies of thy Son and our God on my passionate soul, and by the prayers guide me to
good works, that I may pass the rest of my life without defilement, and that I may obtain
paradise through thee, O Theotokos Virgin, who alone art pure and blessed.

Prayer 10, to the holy Guardian Angel

O Angel of Christ, my holy Guardian, and Protector of my soul and body, forgive me
everything in which I have sinned this day, and deliver me from the repugnant wiles of
the enemy, that in no manner of sin may I anger my God. Instead pray for me a sinner
and an unworthy servant, that thou mayest reveal me to be worthy of the blessings and
mercies of the All-holy Trinity, and of the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ, and of all the
Saints. Amen.

Tropari of Great Lent


Blessed art Thou, O Christ our God, who hast revealed the fishermen as all-wise by
sending down upon them the Holy Spirit; through them Thou didst draw the world into
Thy net. O Lover of mankind, glory to Thee.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
During Great Lent

Grant speedy and steadfast consolation unto Thy servants, O Jesus, when our spirits are
cast down within us. Depart not from our souls in affliction. Be not far from our
thoughts in time of trouble, but always defend us. Draw near unto us, draw near unto us,
Thou who art everywhere present. As Thou art ever with Thine apostles, so, also, O
compassionate One, unite Thyself unto those who long for Thee, that with one accord
we may sing praises unto Thee and glorify Thine all-holy Spirit.

Both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

The hope and protection and refuge of Christians art thou, the impregnable wall and the
haven unvexed by storms, O immaculate Theotokos; but in that thou dost save the world
by thine unceasing intercessions, call thou us also to remembrance, O all-lauded Virgin.

Theotokion
As there is no boldness in us because of the multitude
of our sins, do thou, O Virgin Theotokos, intercede
with the Son whom thou hast borne, for the entreaty of
a mother has great power to win the favor of the
Master. Despise not, O all-venerable Lady, the prayers
of sinners, for He who took upon Himself to suffer for
our sake is merciful and strong to save. Let Thy tender
mercies, O Lord, speedily go before us, for we are
become exceeding poor. Help us, O God of our
salvation, for the glory of Thy Name; O Lord, deliver
us and purge away our sins, for Thy Name‘s sake.

Tropari of Great Lent


Thou has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth, O Christ God. Thou didst stretch
out thine all-pure hands upon the Cross; thou hast gathered together all the nations, who
cry aloud unto thee: Glory to thee, O Lord.

Glory be…

We bow down in reverence before the holy Image, O Good One, entreating forgiveness
for our transgressions, O Christ-God; for of thine own good will thou didst graciously
deign to ascend the Cross in the flesh, that thou mightest deliver from the works of the
enemy those who thou hadst fashioned. Wherefore we cry aloud unto thee in
thanksgiving: With joy thou didst fill all things, O our Saviour, when thou didst come to

If Monday, Tuesday, Thurdsay:


Hymn to the Birthgiver of God: Vouchsafe unto us thy mercy, O Birth-giver of God,
thou who art a Fount of tender compassion. Look upon the people who have sinned;
manifest, as always, thy power. For trusting in thee we cry unto thee: Hail! as did
aforetime Gabriel, Chief of the Bodiless Powers.

If Wednesday or Friday:
Cross-Hymn to the Birthgiver of God: Exceedingly blessed art thou, O Virgin Birth-
giver of God, and we sing thy praise: for by the Cross of thy Son was Hell overthrown
and Death was slain; and we who were dead have risen again, and have mercifully been
deemed worthy of life, and have received Paradise, which was our delight of old. For
which cause, with thanksgiving we magnify Christ our God, in that he is mighty and in
that he alone loveth mankind.

O God, the Lord of hosts, and Author of all creation,


who in Thine ineffable tender mercy hast sent down
Thine Only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, for

do Thou, O Master, who lovest mankind, accept these
prayers of thanksgiving and supplication even from us
sinners, and deliver us from every deadly and dark
transgression and from all the visible and invisible
enemies that seek to do us harm.

Nail our flesh with the fear of Thee, and let not our
hearts incline to evil words or thoughts, but wound our
souls with Thy love, that ever gazing upon Thee, guided
by Thy light and beholding Thee, the eternal Light that
no man can approach, we may send up unceasing
praises and thanks unto Thee, the Father without
beginning, together with Thine Only-begotten Son and
Thy most holy, good, and life-giving Spirit, now, and 아멘.

<Kontakion> (if a Feast, else the following Tropari)

Tropari of the Fast


When the thief beheld the Author of life hanging upon the cross, he said: If thou wert
not God incarnate, who art here crucified with us, then had the sun not veiled its rays,
neither would the earth have shaken with trembling. But do thou, who sufferest for all
men, remember me, O Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.

Glory be…
If Not a Feast

In the midst, between two thieves, was thy cross found the balance-beam of
righteousness; for while the one was led down to hades by the burden of his
blaspheming, the other was lightened of his sins, unto the knowledge of things divine, O
Christ God, glory to thee.

Both now... Amen.

When she who bare thee beheld upon the Cross thee, the Lamb and Shepherd and
Saviour of the world, she weeping said: The world rejoiceth, in that it hath received
redemption, but my heart kindleth with yearning as I behold thy crucifixion, which thou
sufferest for all men, O my Son and my God.

Reader: Lord, have mercy (40x) 주여, 불쌍히 여기소서. (40 번 반복)

Prayer of St. Basil the Great

O Master and Lord, Jesus Christ our God, who art longsuffering towards our faults and
hast brought us even unto this present hour, in which, hanging upon the life-giving
Cross, Thou hast opened unto the good thief the way into Paradise, and destroyed death
by death:

Be merciful to us, Thy humble and sinful and unworthy servants. For we have sinned
and transgressed, and we are not worthy to lift up our eyes and look at the height of

according to the desires of our own hearts. But we pray Thee of Thy boundless
goodness, spare us, O Lord, according to the abundance of Thy mercy, and save us for
Thy Holy Name's sake, for our days have been consumed in vanity. Pluck us from the
hand of the adversary, forgive us our sins, and kill our fleshly lusts, that putting off the
old man, we may put on the new, and may live for Thee our Master and Protector; and
that so, following Thine ordinances, we may attain to eternal rest, in the place where all
the joyful dwell.

For Thou, O Christ our God, art indeed the true joy and gladness of those who love
Thee, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father who is without

it crying: Remember me, O Lord, when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.

I venerate Thy sufferings and glorify Thy resurrection. With Adam and with the thief I raise a shining
cry to Thee: Remember me, O Lord, when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.

Without sin, hast Thou been crucified, and of Thine own will hast Thou been laid in the tomb. But Thou
as God hast risen raising Adam with Thyself, crying: Remember me, when Thou comest into Thy
kingdom.

On the third day, O Christ our God, Thou hast raised from the tomb the temple of Thy "body raising
with Thyself Adam and those descending from him, crying: Remember me when Thou comest into Thy
kingdom.

The women bearing myrrh came early in the morning lamenting to Thy tomb, O Christ our God, and
they found there an angel in shining white seated and crying; What do ye seek? Christ is risen, weep no
more.

O Lord, Thine apostles as Thou hast ordered them were beside Thee on the mountain and seeing Thee.
O Savior, they worshipped and Thou hast sent them forth to teach and to baptize the nations.

mankind.

Thy sinless body Thou hast made mortal men live crying: Remember us also in Thy kingdom.

destroyed all the might of death. Therefore we cry with faith to Thee: Remember us also in Thy

thief went there to dwell. For the one by tasting set aside the commandment of the Maker, while the
other, crucified with Him, confessed the hidden God crying aloud: Remember me in Thy kingdom.

Lifted upon the cross, Thou, O Lord, as God, hath both destroyed the power of death and blotted out the
handwriting against us. Do Thou Who alone lovest mankind, grant us the repentance of the thief as we
serve Thee with faith, O Christ our God, and cry to Thee: Remember us also in Thy kingdom.

Crucified and rising from the tomb in power on the third day, with Thyself hast Thou, only Immortal,
raised Adam, the first-formed man. Make me also worthy, O Lord, to turn to repentance with my whole
heart and with warm faith ever to cry to Thee: Remember me, O Savior, in Thy kingdom.

Thou hast torn to pieces on the cross, the handwriting against, us and counted among the dead, Thou
hast bound yonder tyrant, delivering all from the bonds of hell by Thy resurrection. Through it we have
been enlightened and cry aloud to Thee, Lord who lovest mankind: Remember us also in Thy kingdom.

For our sake He Who is without passion, became a suffering man and nailed upon the cross of His own
will, He raised us with Himself. Therefore with the cross we glorify the passion and the resurrection
through which we have both been made anew and through which we have been saved, crying:
Remember us also in Thy kingdom.

Let us entreat with faith Him rising from the dead despoiling the power of hell, Who was seen by the

and an angel appeared to them crying aloud: The Lord is risen.

thereof, I die not but cry aloud with the thief; Remember me, O Lord, in Thy kingdom.

Lifted upon the cross, Thou Who art compassionate, hast blotted out the handwriting of Adam's sin in
days of old, and Thou hast saved from error all the whole line of mortal men. Therefore we sing Thy
praises, O benefactor and Lord.

Thou hast nailed our sins upon the cross, O Christ Who art compassionate, and by Thy death hast Thou
put death to death, raising the dead from the dead. Therefore we venerate Thy holy Resurrection.

hell and risen the third day in glory as mighty. Thou hast enlightened all. Glory to Thy rising.

them and sent them forth saying: Lead ye all men into My kingdom.

TONE 8 -- Verses on the beatitudes

Remember us, O Christ, Savior of the world, as Thou hast remembered the thief upon the cross. And
make us all worthy of Thy heavenly kingdom, O Thou Who alone art compassionate.

Hearken, O Adam, and rejoice with Eve, for He Who formerly stripped you both and took thee captive
through beguilement, is laid low by the cross of Christ.

Our Savior, having been nailed by Thine own will upon the tree, Thou hast destroyed the curse of the
tree that lay on Adam and as Thou art compassionate, Thou hast given those in Thine image a dwelling
place in Paradise.

Today Christ is risen from the tomb giving all the faithful incorruption and He gives back joy to the
women bearing myrrh: After the Passion, the Resurrection!

Rejoice O ye wise women bearing myrrh, first to see the Resurrection of Christ, and Who announced to

Resurrectional Troparion

Tone Troparion: When the stone had been sealed by the Jews; while the soldiers were guarding
1 Thy most pure Body; Thou didst rise on the third day, O Savior, granting life to the world.
The powers of heaven therefore cried to Thee, O Giver of Life: Glory to Thy Resurrection, O
Christ! Glory to Thy Kingdom! Glory to Thy dispensation, O Thou who lovest mankind.
Tone Troparion: When Thou didst descend to death, O Life Immortal, Thou didst slay hell with
2 the splendor of Thy Godhead! And when from the depths Thou didst raise the dead, all the
powers of heaven cried out: O Giver of Life! Christ our God! Glory to Thee!
Tone Troparion: Let the heavens rejoice! Let the earth be glad! For the Lord has shown strength
3 with His arm! He has trampled down death by death! He has become the first-born of the
dead! He has delivered us from the depths of hell, and has granted the world great mercy!
Tone Troparion: When the women disciples of the Lord learned from the angel the joyous
4 message of Thy resurrection; they cast away the ancestral curse and elatedly told the
apostles: Death is overthrown! Christ God is risen, granting the world great mercy.
Tone Troparion: Let us, the faithful, praise and worship the Word, co-eternal with the Father and
5 the Spirit, born for our salvation from the Virgin; for He willed to be lifted up on the Cross in
the flesh, to endure death, and to raise the dead by His glorious Resurrection.
Tone Troparion: The angelic powers were at Thy tomb; the guards became as dead men. Mary
6 stood by Thy grave, seeking Thy most pure Body. Thou didst capture hell, not being
tempted by it. Thou didst come to the Virgin, granting life. O Lord who didst rise from the
dead: glory to Thee!
Tone Troparion: By Thy Cross, Thou didst destroy death! To the thief, Thou didst open Paradise!
7 For the myrrh bearers, Thou didst change weeping into joy! And Thou didst command Thy
disciples, O Christ God, to proclaim that Thou art risen, granting the world great mercy!
Tone Troparion: Thou didst descend from on high, O Merciful One! Thou didst accept the three-
8 day burial to free us from our sufferings! O Lord, our Life and Resurrection: glory to Thee!

From: A Manual of the Orthodox Church’s Divine Services

Archbishop Averky, Holy Transfiguration Monastery


"According to our Typicon, all the Divine services of the daily cycle — apart, needless to say, from the
Divine Liturgy and other Church sacraments — may be performed also by persons not ordained to
priestly rank. This has been widely done in the practice of prayer by all monasteries, sketes, and desert-
dwellers in whose midst there are no monks clothed in the rank of priest. And up until the most recent
time this was to be seen also, for example, in Carpatho-Russia, which was outstanding for the high level
of piety of its people, where in case of the illness or absence of the priest, the faithful themselves,
without a priest, read and sang the Nocturnes, and Matins, and the Hours, and Vespers, and Compline,
and in place of the Divine Liturgy, the Typica.

"In no way can one find anything whatever reprehensible in this, for the texts themselves of our Divine
services have foreseen such a possibility, for example, in such a rubric which is often encountered in
them: ‗If a priest is present, he says: Blessed is our God… If not, then say with feeling: By the prayers of
our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.’ And further there follows the
whole order of the Divine services in its entirety, except of course, for the ectenes and the priestly
responses. The longer extenes are replaced by the reading of ‗Lord, have mercy‘ twelve times, and Little
Ectene by the reading of ‗Lord, have mercy‘ three times.

"Public prayer, as none other, firmly unites the faithful. And so, in all those parishes where there is no
permanent priest, it is absolutely necessary not merely to permit, but indeed to recommend to the faithful
that they come together on Sundays and feast days in church or even in homes, where there is no church,
in order to perform together such public prayer according to the established order of Divine services."

This normal church practice, which like so much else that belongs to the best Orthodox Church tradition,
has become so rare today as to seem rather a novelty, is nonetheless being practiced now in several
parishes of the Russian Church Outside of Russia, as well as in some private homes. This practice can
and should be greatly increased among the faithful, whether it is a question of a parish that has lost its
priest or is to small to support one, of a small group of believers far from the nearest church which has
not yet formed a parish, or a single family which is unable to attend church on every Sunday and feast
day.

Indeed, this practice in many places has become the only answer to the problem of keeping alive the
tradition of the Church‘s Divine services….

The way of conducting such services should preferably be learned from those who already practice it in
accordance with both the written and oral tradition of the Church. But even in the absence of such
guidance, an Orthodox layman, when he is unable to attend church services, can derive much benefit
from simply reading through some of the simpler services, much as he already reads Morning and
Evening Prayers. Thus, he can read any of the Hours (First, Third, and Sixth Hours in the morning,
Ninth Hour in the afternoon), which have no changeable parts except for the Troparion and Kontakion;
he can simply read through the stichera of the great feasts on the appropriate day; or he can read the
Psalms appointed for a given day….

Reading the Service Books While Traveling or at Home

by Archpriest Sergei Shukin

When Orthodox people have no opportunity to attend Orthodox divine services, especially in non-
Orthodox countries, then the Church allows and encourages individuals and groups of Orthodox to read
the service books privately, for the preservation of their faith. Such readings have long been customary
in monastic establishments, hospitals, schools, on shipboard and, in recent times, by Orthodox in the
USSR and in the diaspora. Reading prayer books or service books may, at least to some extent, replace
church services.

Besides preserving our Orthodox faith, reading services is beneficial because:


1. It teaches us, even in non-Orthodox lands, to remember and honor Orthodox feasts and saints' days.
2. It acquaints us with the order of church services and with the profound content of our service books.
3. It safeguards us from the danger of sectarian and heterodox influence
4. It helps parents and teachers raise their children and young adults in the spirit of Orthodoxy.
5. It unites dispersed Orthodox people in our faith and love for the Orthodox Church.

Orthodox Divine Services


The daily ecclesiastical office consists of a cycle of services that covers the entire 24-hour period. Since
the church day begins with the evening, the order of daily services is: 1) Vespers, 2) Small Compline, 3)
Midnight Office, 4) Matins, 5) First Hour, 6) Third and Sixth Hours, 7) the Liturgy and 8) Ninth Hour.

Orthodox laymen may read or chant some portion of all of these, except the Divine Liturgy, which is
replaced by the Typica.

In addition, it is permissible to read canons and akathists, either separately or as part of another service.
A canon is a collection of hymns in nine odes that honors the Savior, the Mother of God, a saint, a holy
day. or a spiritual theme.

An akathist is a song of praise in twelve parts that glorifies the Savior, the Mother of God, a saint.... An
akathist may be read or sung, or read with the refrains sung.

How Laymen Read Service Books


The reading of service books should be conducted according to the following rules:
1. All [reader's] services are to begin with the exclamation: "Through the prayers of our holy fathers, O
Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.
2. All the priest's prayers and exclamations are omitted.
3. In place of the Great and Augmented Ectenias and the Ectenia of Supplication, "Lord, have mercy" is
said twelve times; in place of the Small Ectenia, three times.
4. The Gospel is not intoned, but read in an ordinary voice.
Note: Every Orthodox Christian is obliged to read the Gospel privately, according to the ecclesiastical
lectionary found in church calendars
5. All other hymns, psalms and prayers are read or sung as when a priest serves.
6. The Typica (in place of the liturgy) may be read as indicated in Appendix 1.

Wandering Thoughts during Prayer (from Letter 31)

Thoughts wander when one is reading spiritual works and during prayer. What should one
do? No one is free from this. There is no sin in it, only vexation. Having wandering
thoughts becomes a sin when one willingly allows flightiness of mind. But if thoughts
scatter involuntarily, what fault can there be? There is fault, though, when one notices
thoughts wandering and, taking no action, one wanders along with them. When we catch
our thoughts wandering off, we must bring them back to their proper place at once.

To be free from the tendency to have wandering thoughts during prayer, one must
concentrate and pray with warmth. Before prayer, one should prepare for such an effort
by making prostrations and by a moment of reflection.

Accustom yourself to pray your own prayers. For instance: it is the essence of evening
prayer to thank God for the day and everything that happened, both pleasant and
unpleasant; to ask forgiveness for all wrongs committed, promising to improve during the
next day; and to pray that God preserve you during sleep. Express all this to God from
your mind and from your whole heart.

The essence of morning prayer is to thank God for sleep, rest and regained strength and
to pray that He will help us do everything to His glory. Express this to Him with your mind
and with your whole heart. Along with such prayers in the morning and evening, present
your greatest needs to the Lord, especially spiritual needs. Besides spiritual needs,
present your worldly cares, saying to Him as would a child: "See, O Lord, my sickness and
weakness! Help and heal!" All this and the like can be spoken before God in your own
words, without the use of a prayer book. Try this and, if it works, you may leave the
prayer book altogether; but if not, you must pray with the prayer book, otherwise you
might end up with no prayer at all.

Prayer Rule (from Letter 47)

You ask about the prayer rule. Yes, because of our weakness, it is proper to have a prayer
rule. For one thing, it controls excessive zeal. The great men of prayer had a prayer rule
and kept to it. Every time, they began prayer with the established prayers, and then, if
self-initiated prayer came, they turned to it from reciting prayers. If they needed a prayer
rule, then we need one even more! Without formal prayers, we would not know how to
pray correctly at all. Without them, we would be completely without prayer.

Nevertheless, we should not collect too many prayers. A few prayers, correctly read, are
better than many prayers raced through. And, of course, it is hard to keep from rushing
when, in our eagerness to pray, we have gathered more prayers than we can handle.

For you, it is quite adequate to complete the morning and evening prayers as they are
found in the prayer book. Always strive to complete them with as much attention and
feeling as possible. To do this successfully, make an effort in your spare time to read
them with extra care, attention and feeling, so that when you are at prayer, you will be
familiar with the holy thoughts and feelings contained in them. Praying does not mean
repeating a certain number of words of prayer; praying is reproducing the contents of the
prayers within ourselves, so that they flow as if from our own mind and heart.
