Therefore, bound by Duty, we

Memory, O St Luke the Evangelist,
and together we cry to Thee:
Intercede with Christ our God, that
He grant Forgiveness of offences to
thsoe who with longing observe Thy
Holy Memory.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
O Apostle, the Saviour opened Thy
mind along the road, and directly
Thou understood the Words that
were God-Inspired. And when
Christ had instructed Thee in all
Heavenly Wisdom, He made Thee an
Initiate of Grace Divine, for He
found Thy mind to be excellent.
Therefore He appointed Thee as
Principal Herald, to shine with His
Beautiful Rays of Light, O Evangelist
All Admired Apostle Luke.
Intercede with Christ our God that
He grant forgiveness of offences to
those who with longing observe Thy
Holy Memory.
Hail! O Fiery Throne of God! Hail, O
Holy Maiden, Seat of the King! Bed of
purple; gold and purple bedecked

TO ST LUKE 24:12 35
At that time, Peter arose and ran to
the Tomb; and stooping down, he
saw the linen cloths lying by
themselves; and he departed,
marvelling to himself at what had
happened.
behold, two of them were
travelling that same day to a village
called Emmaus, which was seven
miles from Jerusalem.
they discussed together all these
things that had happened.
while they conversed and
reasoned, Jesus Himself drew near
and went with them.
Their eyes were restrained, so that they
did not recognise Him.
said to them: What kind of
conversation is this that you have
with one another as you walk and
are sad?
The one whose name was Cleopas
answered and said to Him: Art
Thou the only Stranger in Jerusalem,
and does Thou not know the things
that have happened there in these
days?
And He said to them: What things?
So they said to Him: The things
concerning Jesus of Nazareth, Who
was a Prophet Mighty in Deed and
Word before God and all the people;
and how the Chief Priests and our
Rulers delivered Him to be
condemned to death, and crucified
Him.
We were hoping that it was He Who
was going to Redeem Israel.
Besides all this, today is the Third Day
since these things happened.
Yet certain Women of our company,
who arrived at the Tomb early,
astonished us.

8 FESTAL MATINS & DIVINE LITURGY HYMNS ST LUKE APOSTLE & EVANGELIST 18 OCTOBER
And they told us that when they did not
find His Body, they beheld a Vision of
Angels who said He was alive!
And certain of those who were with us
went to the Tomb and found it just as
the women had said; but Him they
did not see.
And He said to them, O foolish ones,
and slow of heart to believe in all
that the Prophets have spoken!
Ought not the Christ to have suffered
these things and to enter into His
Glory?
And beginning with Moses and all the
Prophets, He expounded to them in
all the Scriptures the Things
concerning Himself.
And they drew near to the village where
they were going, and He indicated
that He would have gone further.
And they constrained Him, saying:
Abide with us, for it is toward
evening, and the day is far spent.
He took bread, Blessed it and broke
it, and gave it to them.
Their eyes were opened and they
recognised Him.
our hearts burn within us while He
spoke with us on the road, and while
He opened the Scriptures to us?
And they arose that very hour and
returned to Jerusalem, and found
the Eleven and those who were with
them gathered together, saying: The
Lord is Risen indeed, and has
appeared to Simon!
And they related all the things that had
happened along the road, and how
He was known to them by the
breaking of bread.
