In the midst of the Venerable Feast of Pentecost, in the midst of the Temple, the Master of all things stood, and speaking to the Jews, openly censured them, for their heavy handed daring against their King and God. Whereas in His Lovingkindness, He is granting Great Mercy to all of us who believe in Him.

The Feast according to the Law at its mid-point, O Christ our God, as the Creator and Master of everything, Thou said to all those who were present: Come, so that you might draw from Me the Water of Immortality. Hence, with Faith, we cry to Thee as we prostrate ourselves before Thee. Thy tender Mercies grant to us, we pray. Thou art the Fountain and Source of our Life, O Lord!

Teach the ungrateful and severe Jewish populace at the Feast, they were marvelling at the Wealth of His Wisdom, and they cried out: How does this Man know His letters, not having learnt them from anyone?

Praise Him with timbrel and dance;

praise Him with strings and flute.

The Messiah and Lord of all stopped the mouths of the Judean Scribes, and the Hebrews He censured, when He cried out to them: Judge not by outward appearances, O Lawbreakers, as unjust. For example, since I Raised up the man who was paralysed on the Sabbath Day, I Am Lord of the Law and of the Sabbath. So why do you seek to kill Me, the One Who brings back the dead to Life?

Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;

praise Him with loud cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

The severe and iniquitous and

ungrateful society of the Hebrews threw stones at the Prophet Moses of old. They killed Isaiah by sawing him in two with a wooden saw. They imprisoned in a pit Jeremiah the Holy Sage. But the Lord of all they had raised on a Cross, and then they cried out: Thou Who would destroy the Temple, we would believe if Thou Save Thyself!

> Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and to the Ages of ages.

Amen

We were Illumined, O Brethren, by the

Resurrection of Christ the Saviour. And now we have the middle of the Feast of the Lord. Let us sincrely keep the Commandments of God, so that we may become worthy of celebrating the Ascension as well, and to witness the Coming of the Holy Spirit.

ODE 3: My heart exults and in the Lord

ODE 7: All ablaze with a raging fire was

the Chaldean’s furnace. Then, by God’s own Authority, it was Bedewed with a Spirit. The Three Youths were chanting : Thou art the God of our Fathers, and Blessed art Thou!

New and innovative is the lifestyle that

we have learnt from Christ our Saviour. Let us be especially zealous to persevere and preserve to the end, so that we may experience the Holy Spirit’s Presence when He comes.

O Saviour, when Thou went up to Thy

Holy Temple, about the middle of the Feast of the Judeans, Thou were teaching them all, and bewildered were the Judeans, for they said: Where did this Man learn His letters, having not been taught?

Prodigious Signs and Wonders was my Redeemer performing as He poured out Grace’s Gifts of Healing, for He drove out diseases and cured people of their ailments. But the Judeans became furious at His Abundant Mercies.

Reproving them, my Redeemer said to the faithless Judeans, crying out: Do not judge by appearance! You should rather be judging with Righteous Judgement! Behold, the Law says and orders, even on the Sabbath, that a man should be circumcised!

Within Thy Womb Thou contained Christ Who is the Giver of Life, One of the Trinity, O Virgin Mother. All Creation extols Him; before Him Thrones in Heaven tremble! Intently Pray to Him, All Blessed One, entreating that our souls be Saved!
