This moment

S' pradznikom!

A blessed and joyous feast of the Annunciation to you all!

Today is the beginning of our salvation, 

The revelation of the eternal mystery! 

The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin 

As Gabriel announces the coming of Grace. 

Together with him let us cry to the Theotokos: 

Rejoice, O Full of Grace, 

The Lord is with You!

Blessed Lent

Oh Lord and Master of my life

The spirit of idleness, of despondency, of love of power and of idle words, grant me not.

But the spirit of continence of humility patience and love grant unto me thy servant.

Yea, oh Lord and King, grant unto me to perceive mine own offenses and not to judge my brother,

for blessed art thou unto the ages of ages.

Amen.

~Lenten prayer of St. Ephrem

:: A blessed and fruitful fast to each of you.  Please forgive me a sinner.
