Today the Cross of the Lord comes out, and the Faithful receive It with longing, and obtain Healings of soul and body, and of every infirmity. Let us kiss It with Joy and with Fear - with Fear for we are unworthy because of sin; and with Joy, because of the Salvation, which Christ our Lord grants us, since He was nailed to the Cross, and has Great Mercy.

Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; praise Him with lute and harp.

What a paradoxical Miracle!

Behold, the Life-bearing plant, the All Holy and Precious Cross, is displayed and carried aloft today. Now all the ends of the earth Glorify, and all demons are greatly terrified. O, what a Gift this is which has been granted to mortals! Hence, O Christ, the Only Compassionate, thereby Save our souls.

Praise Him with timbrel and dance; praise Him with strings and flute.

What a paradoxical Miracle! The

Cross that held the Most High like a Grape Cluster Full of Life is observed by all to be exalted from the earth today: the Cross, through which we have all been drawn to God, and by which Death was completely swallowed up. O Immaculate Tree, whereby we again enjoy the Deathless Food that was in Eden of old, and Christ we Glorify.

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


Behold the length and breadth of the Cross are the same as those of the sky. For by Divine Grace it Hallows the Universe. By It barbarian nations are subdued, by It the Sceptres of the Kings have been secured.

Blessing is upon Thy People.

We were unceasingly immersed in

the Darkness of the Forefater, O my Lord! But through the Cross today Thou exalted us. For as our nature once was, by delusion, dragge down uncontrollably, we were raised again with our entire race by the Light of Thy Cross, which we, the Faithful, ever Magnify!

Wishing to show the world, O

Lord, that the Figure of Thy Cross ought to be adored among all people since It is Glorious, Thou formed it therefore in the sky resplendent with Immeasurable Light, for the King, and Invincible Panoply. And this do all Powers of Heaven ever Magnify!

Unto the human race Death came

through eating from the Tree in Paradise. But through the Cross, today it is neutralised. The Primal Mother’s Curse affecting the entire race has been dissolved by the Offspring of the Pure Mother of God. And Her do all Powers of Heaven ever Magnify!

For my transgressions rise up

over my head - like a heavy burden they press me down.

My wounds grow foul and fester

because of My foolishness.

I suffer misery, and I am utterly

bowed down – all day long I mourn, for my loins are filled with mockeries, and there is no healing in my flesh.

I am afflicted and great humbled;

I roar because of the groaning of my heart.

O Lord, all my desire is before

Thee and My sighing is not hidden from Thee.

My heart is troubled – my

strength fails me, and even the light of my eyes has failed me.

My friends and neighbours who

draw near stand against me, and my family stands afar off.

And those who seek my soul use

violence, and those who seek evil for me speak foolishness, and they plan deception all day long.

I, like a deaf man, do not hear –

and I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.

And I am like a man who does

not hear and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

For in Thee, O Lord, I hope -

Thou will hear, O Lord my God.

For I said: ‘Let not my enemies

rejoice over me, for when my foot slips, they boasted against me.’

For I am ready for wounds, and

my pain is continually with me, for I will declare my transgressions, by

My enemies live, and have

become stronger than me – and those who hate me unjustly are multiplied; those who repaid me evil for good slandered me because I pursue Righteousness.

Do not forsake Me, O Lord!

O My God, do not depart from me – heed me and help me, O Lord of my Salvation!

So in the Holy Place I appear

Because Thy Mercy is better than

Thus will I Bless Thee in my life;

Thou removed my acquaintances

far from me; they made me an abomination among themselves – I was betrayed, and did not escape.

My eyes have weakened from

poverty. and I cry to Thee, O Lord - all day long I stretch out my hands to Thee.

Will Thou work Wonders for the

dead? Or will Physicians raise them up, and acknowledge Thee?

Shall anyone in the tomb describe

Thy Mercy and Thy Truth in Destruction?

Shall Thy Wonders be known in

Darkness, and Thy Righteousness in a Forgotten Land?

Yet I, O Lord, cry to Thee, and in

the morning my Prayer shall come near to Thee.

Why, O Lord, dost Thou reject me

– hiding Thy Face from me?

Poor am I and in trouble since my

youth; yet having been exalted, I was humbled and brought into despair.

Thy fierce Anger passed over me,

and Thy Terrors greatly troubled me – they compass me like water all day long – they surround me all at once.

Thou removed far from me

neighbour, friend and my acquaintances because of my misery.

O Lord, God of my Salvation: I cry

On this day we Commemorate the

Falling Asleep of our Father among the Saint, ST JOHN

CHRYSOSTOM, Archbishop of Constantinople; for it was on this day that he went to his rest, but because of the Feast of the Precious Cross, his Feast has been transferred to the month of November.


most Pious Queen ST PLACILLA, wife of Emperor Theodosios the Great.

On this day we Commemorate

our Fathers among the Saints who gathered in the Holy 6TH

ECUMENICAL COUNCIL during the reign of Constantine IV, father of Justinian II, while Sergios presided over the Church of Constantinople and Agatho over the Church of Rome. It was gathered in Trullo of the Palace called Ovatos, to put down by anathema: Sergios, Pyrrhos and Peter and Paul, Bishops of Constantinople, Macrobios of Antioch and Cyros of Alexandria, Honourious, Pope of Rome and Stephen and Polychronios and those with them. This Holy Council was gathered dring the reign of Constantine IV, but the publication of the Canons came about during the reign of his son, Justinian.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and

forget not all His Rewards: He Who is Merciful towards all your transgressions, Who heals all your diseases, Who Redeems your Life from corruption, Who crowns you with Mercy and Compassion, Who satisfies your desire with Good Things; and Renews your youth like the eagle.

The Lord shows Mercies and

Judgement to all who are wronged.

He made known His Ways to

Moses – His Will to the Sons of Israel.

Compassionate and Merciful is the

Lord - slow to anger, and abounding in Mercy.

He will not become angry to the

end, nor will He be wrathful forever.

He does not deal with us

according to our sins, nor rewards us accoding to our transgressions, for according to the height of Heaven from earth, so the Lord reigns in Mercy over those who Fear Him – as far as the East is from the West, so does He remove our transgressions from us!

As a father has compassion for

his children, so does our Lord have Compassion on those who Fear Him, for He knows how He formed us – He remembers that we are clay.

And His Righteousness is upon

children’s children to those who keep His Covenant and remember His Commandments – to obey them.

The Lord prepared His Throne in

Heaven and His Kingdom rules over all.

I remembered the days of old, and

I meditated on all Thy Works – I meditated on the Works of Thy Hands.

I stretch out my hands to Thee –

my soul thirsts for Thee like a waterless land. (PAUSE)

Hear me speedily, O Lord – my

spirit faints within me.

Turn not Thy Sight from me, lest I

become like those who go down into the Pit.

Cause me to hear Thy Mercy in the

morning, for I hope in Thee.

Make me know, O Lord, the Way

wherein I should walk, for to Thee I lift up my soul.

Deliver me from my enemies, O

Lord, for to Thee I flee for Refuge.

Teach me to do Thy Will, for Thou

art my God.

Thy Good Spirit shall Guide me in

Uprightness.

For Thy Name’s sake O Lord, grant

me Life.

In Thy Righteousness Thou shall

bring my soul out of affliction – and in Thy Mercy Thou shall destroy my enemies – and Thou shall utterly destroy all who afflict my soul, for I am Thy servant.

O Lord hear my Prayer; hear my

Supplication in Thy Truth - answer me in Thy Righteousness.

And do not enter into Judgement with Thy servant, for in Thy Sight no-one living is Righteous.

Thy Good Spirit shall Guide me in

Uprightness.

have heard out of the Law, that Christ abides forever; and how says Thou: The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?

Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a

little while, the Light is among you. Walk whilst you have the Light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he who walks in darkness, knows not whither he goes. Whilst you have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may be the Children of Light.
