Fourth Sunday of Pascha: ParalyticLitya (If the rector desires the Litya, following the sticheron to the Temple, we sing:) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; Tone 5(from the Pentecostarion) A man lay sick by the Sheep's Pool. Seeing You, O Lord, he cried to You: “There is no man to lower me into the pool when the water is stirred. Another always goes before me and receives healing, while I lie here in misery.” Immediately the Savior was moved to pity, and said to him: “It was for you that I became Man; because of you I was clothed in mortal flesh. Yet you say: ‘I have no man!’ I tell you, take up Your bed and walk!” All things obey and submit to Your power, O Lord!// Remember us all, and have mercy, O holy Lover of mankind!
now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Tone 5(Theotokion) Most precious Virgin! You are the gate, the temple, the palace, the throne of the King! From You, my Redeemer, Christ the Lord appeared to those asleep in darkness. He is the Sun of Righteousness Who desired to enlighten His image, whom He had created. Since you possess motherly boldness before Him, all praised Lady,// pray unceasingly that our souls may be saved! Fourth Sunday of Pascha: Paralytic
Aposticha
Tone 3 (from the Octoechos)
The sun was darkened by your Passion, O Christ, but all creation was enlightened by the light of Your Resurrection.// Accept our evening song, O Lover of mankind!
(Then the Paschal Stichera with their verses from Psalm 67/68)
v: Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate Him flee from before His face!
Today, a sacred Pascha is revealed to us: a new and holy Pascha, a mystical Pascha, a Pascha worthy of veneration, a Pascha which is Christ the Redeemer, a blameless Pascha, a great Pascha, a Pascha of the faithful, a Pascha which has opened to us the gates of Paradise, a Pascha which sanctifies all the faithful.
v: As smoke vanishes so let them vanish; as wax melts before the fire! Come from that scene, O women bearers of glad tidings, and say to Zion: “Receive from us the glad tidings of joy, of Christ’s Resurrection! Exult and be glad, and rejoice, O Jerusalem, seeing Christ the King, Who comes forth from the tomb like a bridegroom in procession!”
v: So the sinners will perish before the face of God. But let the righteous be glad!
The myrrh-bearing women, at the break of dawn, drew near to the tomb of the Life-giver. There they found an Angel sitting upon the stone. He greeted them with these words: “Why do you seek the Living among the dead? Why do you mourn the Incorrupt amid corruption? Go, proclaim the glad tidings to His disciples!”
v: This is the day which the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Pascha of beauty, the Pascha of the Lord, A Pascha worthy of honor has dawned for us. Pascha! Let us embrace each other joyously! Pascha, ransom from affliction! For today, as from a bridal chamber, Christ has shown forth from the tomb, and filled the women with joy saying: “Proclaim the glad tidings to the Apostles!”
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; Tone 8(from the Pentecostarion)
Solomon's porch was filled with the sick. In the middle of the feast, Christ found a man who had been paralyzed thirty-eight years. He shouted to him in a commanding voice: “Do you want to be healed?” The sick man replied: “Lord, when the water is stirred, I have no man to lower me into the pool.” The Lord said to him: “Pick up your bed! Now that you are healed, see that you sin no more!” Show to us Your great mercy, O Lord,// through the prayers of the Theotokos! now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
This is the day of resurrection! Let us be illumined by the feast! Let us embrace each other! Let us call “Brothers” even those that hate us, and forgive all by the resurrection, and so let us cry:
“Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!” (Once) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (at Great Vespers)
Tone 3 Troparion(Resurrection)
Let the heavens rejoice! Let the earth be glad! For the Lord has shown strength with His arm. He has trampled down death by death. He has become the first born of the dead. He has delivered us from the depths of hell, and has granted to the world// greatmercy.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. Date: 2016-01-03; view: 663
