 St Paisios of Mount Athos
Those who have Trust in Divine Justice
are neither upset when treated unfairly
nor do they seek justice.
On the contrary,
they accept the false accusations
as if they were true
and they do not try to convince others
that they have been slandered.
Instead they ask to be forgiven.

For with the Lord there is Mercy, and
with Him is Abundant Redemption;

Thou troubled the salt seas,
Appearing as a Noble Horse of Him
Who is Master of the sea, O
Honoured Saitn; and Thou dried up
the putrid rot of godlessness, casting
in precious salt, Thy Wisdom; at

indeed amazed, those who were
shameless content with a Wisdom
proved folly.

With Hymns let us honour the Brother
of Peter, and Disciple of Christ,
Catcher of Fish, and Fisher of men, O
Andrew the Apostle; for by his
Doctrines he has trained all in the
Teachings of Jesus; and like bait for
fish, he handed over his flesh to
lawless men, an caught them in His
Net. At his intercessions, O Christ,
grant Thy People Peace and Great
Mercy.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of
ages.
Amen

Joseph, tell us: how art Thou bringing
the Maiden Thou receied from the
Holy Place to Bethlehem, great with
Child? I, he said, have searched the
Scriptures and have been told by an
Angel, and I am assured that Maria
will give Birth to God in a manner
Magi will come from the East,
adoring Him with Precious Gifts. O
Lord, Incarnate for our sake: Glory
to Thee!
As First Called of the Apostles, and
Brother of Peter the Preeminent, O
Andrew, Intercede with the Master of
all to grant Peace to the whole world,
and Great Mercy to our soul.

Brethren:
Blessed be the God and
Fahter of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who,
according to His Abundant Mercy
has Begotten us again to a Salvific
Hope through the Resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead, to an
Incorruptible and Undefiled
Inheritance that does not fade away,
reserved in Heaven for you who are
kept by the Power of God through
Faith for Salvation, to be Revealed in
the Last Time.
for a little while, if need be, you have
been grieved by various trials, so
that the genuiness of your Faith,
being much more precious than gold
that perishes, although it is tested by
fire, may be found to praise, to
honour and to glory in the
Revelation of Jesus Christ.Whom
having not seen we Love.
Although now we do not behold Him,
yet believing, we Rejoice with
Inexpressible Joy and full of Glory,
receiving the end of our Faith the
Salvation of our soul

READER Beloved: Gird up your mind,

the Grace that is coming to you at
the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
As Obedient Children, do not be
conformed to the passions of your
former ignorance, but, as He Who
Called you is Holy, be Holy
yourselves in all your conduct, since
it is written: You shall be Holy for I
Am Holy.
And if you invoke as Father Him Who
Judges each one impartially
according to his deeds, conduct
yourselves with Fear throughout the
time of your exile.
You know that you were ransomed
