Holy Theophany
Great Vespers & Divine Liturgy of St Basil
Glory to Thee, O God; Glory to Thee! [3] I

thank Thee, O Lord my God, that Thou has not rejected me, a sinner, but has deemed me worthy to be a Partaker of Thy Holy Things. I thank Thee that Thou has deemed me, who am unworthy, worthy to participate in Thy Sacred and Heavenly Gifts. And, O Merciful Master - Who died for us and Who Arose again, and Who bestows upon us these Thy Fearful and Life-giving Mysteries for the well-being and Sanctification of our souls and bodies - grant that these may be to me for the Healing of my soul and body, for the averting of everything hostile, for the Enlightenment of the eyes of my heart, for Peace to my Spiritual Powers, for Faith, which does not shame us, for Love Unfeigned, for the Plenitude of Wisdom, for the Fulfilment of Thy Commandments, for the Aid of Thy Divine Grace and the Inheritance of Thy Kingdom - so that protected by Them in Thy Holiness I may ever remember Thy Grace and never live for myself but only for Thee, our Master and Saviour. And so when I have departed from this existence in the hope of Eternal Life, I may attain to Everlasting Rest, where the Song of those who keep Festival is unceasing and the Joy is endless of those who behold the Ineffable Beauty of Thy Countenance. For Thou, O Christ our God, is that which is truly sought for, and the Unutterable Gladness of those who Love Thee - and all Creation praises Thee forever. Amen
5 January
Thanksgiving Prayer of St Basil the Great
O Christ our God and Master, King of the Ages and Creator of all, I thank Thee for all
the favours that Thou has granted to me, and for the participation in Thy Pure and Life-giving Mysteries. I beseech Thee, therefore, O Gracious and Loving Lord, Guard me under Thy Protection and in the Shadow of Thy Wings: and grant me a clear conscience to my last breath, so that worthily I may receive Thy Holy Things for the Forgiveness of sins and Life Eternal. For Thou art the Bread of Life, the Fountain of Holiness, the Giver of all that is Good, and unto Thee we ascribe Glory - with the Father and the Holy Spirit - now and forever, and from all Ages to all Ages. Amen

THEOPHANY VESPERS & DIVINE LITURGY
OF
ST BASIL
THE
GREAT
N o tte s o n T h e o p h a n y No es on Theophany
Theophany (Theophania - "Appearance of God") is one of the Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church and is joyfully celebrated on 6 January. It is the Great Feast that reveals the Most Holy Trinity to the world through the Baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ. (MATTHEW 3 : 13 - 17; MARK 1 : 9 - 11; LUKE 3 : 21 - 22) We hereby commemorate Christ's Baptism by St John the Baptist & Forerunner in the Jordan River, and the beginning of our Saviours earthly Ministry. Theophany is the culmination of the Nativity Season, which begins with Christs Nativity on 25 December and ends with His Baptism on 6 January. The Holy Service of the Great Blessing of Water is performed on Theophany and the Sanctified Water is used by the Parish Priests to Bless the homes of the Faithful, who also receive small bottles of Blessed Water for their personal use. At Theophany the Holy Trinity appeared clearly to mankind for the first time when God the Father's Voice was heard from Heaven, the Son of God Incarnate (in His human Nature) stood in the Jordan River, and God the Holy Spirit hovered above Him like a dove. Epiphany is a reference to the Western Christian Feast that occurs the same day, which commemorates the Adoration of the Magi of the New Born King their worship of the Child Jesus, at the Holy Familys new home in Bethlehem, some time after the Nativity of Christ, although the term "Epiphany" does appear in the Services for this Feast. (THEIR VALUABLE GIFTS WERE USED AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF CHRISTS LIFE) Originally, there was just one Christian Feast of The Shining Forth of God to the world in the human Nature of God Incarnate our Lord Jesus of Nazareth. It included the celebration of Christs Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi and all the early childhood Events of the Infant Christ - such as His Circumcision and Presentation at the Temple - as well as His Baptism thirty years later by St John the Baptist and Forerunner in the Jordan River the beginning of His Public Ministry. This Great Feast, like that of Holy Pascha and Pentecost, was the fulfillment of a previous Jewish Festival, in this case - the Feast of Lights. The Holy Services of Theophany are set up exactly like those of the Feast of the Nativity, which, historically were established only later. The Royal Hours are read and the Divine Liturgy of St Basil the Great is served with Vespers on the Eve of the Feast. The All Night Vigil consists of the Holy Services of Great Compline and Matins. The Divine Liturgy of the Theophany begins with Psalms of Glorification and Praise instead of the usual three Antiphons. The Baptismal Verse mentioned in St Pauls Epistle to the Galatians 3:27 once again replaces the Thrice-Holy For as many as have been Baptised into Christ, have put on Christ! Alleluia! The Holy Gospel Lessons of all the Services describe our Lord's Baptism by St John the Baptist in the Jordan River and the Epistles explain the consequences of the Divine Epiphany, which is the Incarnation of Christ the coming to earth of the Word and Son of God. Since the main Feature of the Feast is the Blessing of Water, it is prescribed to follow both the Divine Liturgy of the Forefeast or Eve of Theophany and the Divine Liturgy the following day. All Faithful Christians should attend these significant Holy Services because the Blessing of the Waters verifies that all mankind, and all Creation, were created to be filled with the Sanctifying Presence of Almighty God.
A S THE P RI E ST PROCE E DS TOWA RDS THE P ROTHE SI S , HE Q U IE TLY PRA YS :
The Mystery of Thy Dispensation, O Christ our God, has been accomplished and Perfected as far as it is in our power. We have had the Memorial of Thy Death. We have seen the Type of Thy Resurrection. We have been filled with Thine Unending Life. We have enjoyed Thine Infinite Delight which in the world to come be well pleased to grant to us all, through the Grace of Thy Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and to the Ages of Ages.

Prayer of the Evening Incense

At evening, at morning and at midday we Praise, Bless and give thanks, and we pray to You, O Master of all things, Lord Who loves mankind: Direct our Prayer before You like incense, and do not incline our hearts to words or thoughts of evil, but deliver us from all who hunt down our souls. For our eyes look to You, O Lord, our Lord, and we have hoped in You. For to You belong all Glory, Honour and Worship: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the Ages of Ages. Amen
Having beheld the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus - the only Sinless One. We venerate Thy Cross, O Christ, and we praise and Glorify Thy Holy Resurrection. Thou art our God. We know no other than Thee, and we call upon Thy Name. Come, all ye Faithful: let us venerate the Holy Resurrection of Christ. For behold: through the Cross Joy has come to all the world. Blessing the Lord always, let us praise His Resurrection. For enduring the Cross for us, He destroyed Death by Death. Shine, shine, O New Jerusalem, for the Glory of the Lord has Risen upon Thee, celebrate now and be glad, O Zion. And do Thou, O Pure Mother of God, rejoice in the rising of Thy Child. O Divine! O Beloved! O Sweetness of Thy Voice! For Thou, O Christ, hast truly proised to be with us until the end of time. Wherefore, we, the Faithful rejoice, holding these Thy Wrds as an Anchor of Hope. O Christ, O Great and Most Sacred Passover! O Wisdom, and Word of God, and Power! Grant that we may more truly have Communion with Thee in the Day of Thy Kingdom, which knows no Eventide. Wash away, O Lord, the sins of those who have been remembered here, by Thy Precious Blood, at the Prayers of the Holy Mother of God and all Thy Saints. Amen

I BELIEVE, O LORD, AND I CONFESS, that Thou art verily the Christ, the Son of the Living God, Who came into the world to Save sinners, of whom I am the first. Also I believe, that This is Thy Sacred Body, and This Thy Precious Blood. Therefore I pray to Thee: have Mercy upon me and pardon all my transgressions, voluntary and involuntary, in word, deed and thought, both known and unknown, and make me worthy to partake of Thy Sacred Mysteries, for the Remission of sins and for Life Eternal. Amen. BEHOLD, I APPROACH FOR HOLY COMMUNION. O Creator, burn me not as I partake; for Thou art Fire, which burns the unworthy. Wherefore, cleanse me from every stain. RECEIVE ME TODAY, O SON OF GOD, as a Partaker of Thy Mystical Feast; for I will not speak of the Mystery to Thine enemies; I will not kiss Thee as did Judas, but as the Thief, I will confess Thee: Lord, remember me in Thy Kingdom! TREMBLE, O MORTAL, BEHOLDING THE DIVINE BLOOD. For it is as a lighted coal burning the unworthy. It is Gods Body and Deifies and Nourishes me. It Deifies my soul, and wondrously Nourishes my mind. THOU HAS SMITTEN ME WITH YEARNING, O CHRIST, and with Thy Divine Love Thou has changed me; but burn away with Spiritual Fire my sins, and make me worthy to be filled with the Joy of Thee; so that rejoicing in Thy Goodness, I may magnify Thy Two Presences. INTO THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THY SAINTS, HOW SHALL I, THE UNWORTHY, ENTER? For should I dare to enter the Festal Chamber, my Robe betrays me, for it is not a Festal Garment, and I shall be bound and cast out by the Angels. Cleanse my soul, O Lord, from pollution, and by Thy Compassion Save me.

Grant them Heavenly Things instead of earthly; Eternal Things instead of temporal; Incorruptible Things instead of corruptible. Remember, O Lord, those who are in the deserts, on mountains, in caverns, and in the chambers of the earth. Remember, O Lord, those living in Chastity and Godliness, in Asceticism and Holiness of life. Remember, O Lord, this country and all those who are in authority whom Thou hast allowed to govern on earth. Grant them profound and lasting Peace. Speak to their hearts Good Things concerning Thy Church and all Thy People that through the faithful conduct of their duties we may live peaceful and serene lives in all Piety and Holiness. Sustain the Good in their goodness; make the wicked good through Thy Goodness. Remember, O Lord, the people here present and those who are absent with good cause. Have Mercy on them and on us according to the multitude of Thy Mercy. Fill their Treasuries with every Good Thing; preserve their Marriages in Peace and Harmony; nurture the infants; instruct the youth; strengthen the aged; give courage to the fainthearted; reunite those separated; bring back those in error and unite them to Thy Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

For Thou, O Lord, are the Helper of the helpless, the Hope of the hopeless, the Saviour of the afflicted, the Haven of the voyager, and the Physician of the sick.

W HI LE THE H YMNS A RE BE ING CHA NTE D , THE P RI E ST Q UI E TLY PRA YS :
And with these Blessed Powers, O Master and Lover of mankind, we also cry aloud and say: Holy indeed and Most Holy art Thou, and no bounds are there to the Majesty of Thy Holiness; and Just art Thou in all Thy Works, for in Righteousness and True Judgement hast Thou ordered all things for us. For after Thou had formed man of the clay of the earth, and honoured him, O God, with Thine own Image, Thou set him in the Paradise of Delight, and promised him Immortal Life and the enjoyment of Eternal Good Things in the keeping of Thy Commandments. And when he disobeyed Thee, His True God, Who had created him, and was allured by the deceit of the serpent, and slain by his own trespasses, Thou, O Lord, in Righteous Judgement casted him out of Paradise into this world, and returned him to the earth from whence he was taken: dispensing for him Salvation by Regeneration, which is in Thy Christ Himself. For Thou, O Good One, did not wholly forsake Thy creature, which Thou had made, neither did Thou forget the Works of Thy Hands, but because of Thy Tender Mercy in diverse manners, visited him. Prophets Thou sent, Mighty Works Thou hast performed through Thy Saints, Who have been well-pleasing to Thee in every generation: Thou hast spoken to us by the mouth of Thy servants, the Prophets, foretelling us of the Salvation to come. The Law Thou granted to help us, Angels Thou appointed to Guard us. And when the Fullness of the time came, Thou spoke to us dy Thy Son Himself, by Whom also Thou created the worlds Who, being the Brightness of Thy Glory, and the express Image of Thy Person, and upholding all things by the Word of His Power, thought it not robbery to be Eqyal with Thee, God and Father. And being God Pre-Eternal, He showed Himself upon earth, and conversed with mankind: and being Incarnate of the Holy Virgin, He emptied Himself and took upon Himself the form of a servant, becoming the likeness of the body of our humility that He might fashion us like the Image of His Glory. For inasmuch as by one man sin entered our world, and Death by sin, so it seemed good to Thine Only Begotten Son, Who is in the Bosom of Thee, O God and Father, made of a Woman, the Holy Mother of God and Ever Virgin Mary, made under the Law, to condemn sin in His Flesh, that they who die in Adam may be quickened in Thy Christ Himself, Who, dwelling in this world granted Saving Commandments and having turned us from the deceits of idols, brought us to the Knowledge of Thee, the True God and Father, having possessed us to Himself for a Chosen People, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation; Who has Cleansed us with Water and Sanctified us by the Holy Spirit, giving Himself as a Ransom to Death, wherein we were held sold under sin. And by the Cross having descended into Hades that He might fill all things with Himself, He loosened the the pains of Death; and being Resurrected the Third Day, He made way for all flesh unto the Resurrection of the dead, for since it was not possible that the Author of Life should be held by corruption, He beame the First-fruit of those who had fallen asleep - the Firstborn from the dead that in all things He might have pre-eminence.
Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying: Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and Thy flesh shall be restored, and Thou shall be Clean. Naaman was infuriated, and went away, saying: Behold! I thought that he would surely come out to greet me and that he would stand, and call on the Name of the Lord his God, and put his hand upon the the leprosy and heal my flesh! the rivers of Damascus - better than all the waters of Isreal?

Grant that, having accepted this Sacrifice upon Thy Holy, Heavenly and Spiritual Altar as an Offering of Spiritual Fragrance, Thou may in return send down upon us the Grace of Thy Holy Spirit. Look upon us, O God, and consider our worship; and accept it as Thou accepted the gifts of Abel, the sacrifices of Noah, the burnt offerings of Abraham, the Priestly Offices of Moses and Aaron, and the Peace Offerings of Samuel. As Thou accepted this True Worship from Thy Holy Apostles, accept also in Thy Goodness, O Lord, these gifts from the hands of us sinners, that being deemed worthy to serve at Thy Holy Altar without blame, we may obtain the Reward of Faithful Stewards on the Fearful Day of Thy Just Judgement.
O Holy God, Who rests among Thy Saints, Who art glorified by the Cherubim, and praised by the Seraphim with a Thrice-Holy Voice, and worshipped by all the Hosts of Heaven; Thou Who has brought all things out of nothingness into being; Thou Who has created man in Thine Own Image and Likeness, and has adorned him with all Thy Favours; Thou Who grant to the suppliant Wisdom and Prudence, and does not neglect the sinner, but has set forth the Way of Repentance unto Salvation; Thou Who has accounted us, Thy humble and unworthy servants, worthy to stand at this time before the Glory of Thy Holy Altar, and to bring to Thee due adoration and praise; do Thou, O Master, accept even from the mouth of us sinners, the Thrice-Holy Hymn and visit us in Thy Righteousness; forgive us all our transgressions, voluntary and involuntary; Sanctify our souls and bodies; and grant, that we may worship Thee in Holiness all the days of our life, through the Intercessions of the Holy Theotokos and all the Saints, who from the beginning of time have pleased Thee; for Thou, our God, art Holy, and to Thee we ascribe Glory, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.

Behold: Thou Love Truth.
None is worthy among those who are held fast in fleshly desires and pleasures to approach, to to draw nigh, or to minister to Thee, O King of Glory, for to minister to Thee is a great and fearful thing, even for the Heavenly Powers themselves. Notwithstanding, through Thine Ineffable and Immeasurable Love for mankind, Thou became Man, suffering no change nor altering, and art our High Priest and has Thyself bestowed upon us the Ministry of this Divine Office and Bloodless Sacrifice as Master of all. For Thou only, O Lord our God, hast Dominion over all things in Heaven and on earth, Who art borne upon a Throne of Cherubim, Who art Lord of the Seraphim and King of Israel; Who alone art Holy and rest in the Holies. Therefore, I beseech Thee, Who alone art Good and ready to hear: look down upon me, Thy sinful and unprofitable servants, and Cleanse my soul and my heart from an evil conscience. And by the Power of the Holy Spirit, enable me, who am invested with the Grace of Priesthood, to stand before this Thy Holy Table, and to administer Thy Most Pure and Sacred Body and Thy Precious Blood. For unto Thee I come, to Thee I bow my head, and I beseech Thee: turn not Thy Sight from me, neither reject me from among Thy servants, but account it fitting for these Gifts to be offered to Thee by me, Thy sinful and unworthy servant. For Thou art He Who Offers and He Who is Offered, and He Who receives and Who is given, O Christ our God, and to Thee we ascribe Glory, together with Thine Eternal Father, and Thine All Holy, Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and forever, and to the Ages of Ages.
