Let us praise Mary, the Virgin, for she
is the glory of the whole world; she
sprang forth from men, and bore the
Master; she is the gate of heaven, the
song of the heavenly powers, and the
joy of the faithful. She has been shownforth as heaven and as a temple of the
Godhead. She has broken down the
dividing wall of enmity and has brought
us peace, and has opened the kingdom.
Therefore, possessing this anchor of
faith, we have an invincible Lord, He
Whom she bore. Courage, then,
courage, you people of God, for as the
Almighty He will fight our enemies.

invisible and unfinished; and darkness
was over the deep. The Spirit of God
was hovering over the face of the
water. Then God said, “Let there be
light;” and there was light. God saw the
light; it was good; and God divided the
light from the darkness. God called the
light Day; the darkness He called
Night; and there was evening and
morning, one day.
Then God said, “Let there be a
firmament in the midst of the water,
and let it divide the water from the
water;” and it was so. Thus God made
the firmament, and God divided the
water under the firmament from thewater above the firmament. So God
called the firmament Heaven, and God
saw that it was good; and there was
evening and morning, the second day.
Then God said, “Let the water under
heaven be gathered together into one
place, and let the dry land appear;” and
it was so. The water under heaven was
gathered into its places, and the dryland appeared. So God called the dry
land Earth, and the gathering together
of the waters He called Seas; and God
saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let the earth bring
forth the herb of grass, bearing seed
according to its kind and likeness. Let
the fruit tree bear fruit, whose seed is in
itself according to its kind on earth.” Itwas so. Thus the earth brought forth the
herb of grass, bearing seed according to
its kind and likeness. The fruit tree bore
fruit, whose seed is in itself according
to its kind on earth. God saw that it was
good. So evening and morning were the
third day.

Now the word of the Lord came to
Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
“Arise and go to Nineveh, the greatcity, and preach in it; for the cry of her
wickedness has come up to me.” But
Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from
the presence of the Lord. So he went
down to Joppa and found a ship going
to Tarshish, paid his fare, and boarded
the ship to set sail with them to
Tarshish, away from the presence of
the Lord. But the Lord raised up a great
wind upon the sea, and there came
about a mighty tempest, and the ship
was in danger of breaking up. And the
mariners were afraid and cried out,
each one to his god. And they cast out
the cargo of the ship into the sea,
attempting to lighten the ship. But
Jonah had gone below into the hold of
the ship, had gone to sleep, and was
snoring.The captain came to him and said,
“Why are you snoring? Get up and call
upon your God, that your God may
keep us safe so we do not perish.” And
each one said to his shipmate, “Come!
Let us cast lots and find out on whose
account this calamity is upon us.” So

made the sea and the dry land.”
Then the men were exceedingly afraid
and said to him, “What is this that you
did?” For the men knew he was fleeing
from the presence of the Lord, because
he had told them. Then they said to
him, “What should we do to you that
the sea will calm itself for us?” For thesea continued to be tempestuous, and
the waves rose up even higher. And
Jonah said to them, “Take me up and
cast me into the sea, and the sea will
grow calm for you, for I know this
great tempest is upon you because of
me.”
And the men tried hard to return to the
land, but were unable to do so, for thesea arose and grew even more
tempestuous against them. Then they
cried out to the Lord and said, “Please,
O Lord, do not let us perish on account
of this man’s life, nor bring righteous
blood upon us; for you, O Lord, have
brought this about.” So they took up
Jonah and threw him into the sea, and
the sea ceased from its raging. And the
men feared the Lord even more, and
they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and
vowed vows. Now the Lord
commanded a huge sea creature to
swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the
belly of the sea creature three days and
three nights.

And from the belly of the sea creature,
Jonah prayed to the Lord his God, and
said: “I cried out in my affliction to the
Lord, my God, and He heard my voice;
out of the belly of Hades, You heard
the cry of my voice. You cast me intothe depths of the heart of the sea, and
rivers encompassed me; all Your
surging waters and Your waves passed
over me. And I said, ‘I have been
driven away from Your sight; shall I
again look with favor toward Your holy
temple?’ Water is poured over me to
my soul; the lowest depth encircled me;
my head plunged into the clefts of the
mountains. I descended into the earth,the bars of which are everlasting
barriers; yet let my life ascend from
corruption, O Lord, my God. When my
soul was failing from me, I
remembered the Lord. May my prayer
be brought to You, into Your holy
temple. Those who follow vanity and
lies forsake their own mercy. But with
a voice of thanksgiving and praise, Iwill sacrifice to You. As much as I
vowed, I shall offer up to You, to You,
the Lord of Deliverance.” Then the
Lord commanded the sea creature, and
it cast up Jonah onto the dry land.
Now the word of the Lord came to
Jonah a second time, saying, “Arise
and go to Nineveh, the great city, and
preach there according to the message I previously spoke to you.” So Jonah
arose and went to Nineveh, just as the
Lord spoke. Nineveh was an
exceedingly great city to God, a
journey of about three days. And Jonah
began to enter into the city, going a
day’s journey, where he proclaimed

and said, “Yet three days and Nineveh
shall be overthrown.” And the men of
Nineveh believed God. They
proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth,
from the greatest of them to the least.
Then the word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne,
removed his robe, and put on sackcloth,
and sat upon ashes. And it was
proclaimed and spoken in Nineveh by
the king and by his great men, saying,
“Let not the men, cattle, oxen, or sheep
taste anything, eat, or drink water.” So
the men and the cattle were clothed
with sackcloth, and they cried out
fervently to God; and they each turned back from their evil ways and from the
wrongdoings of their hands, saying,
“Who knows if God shall have a
change of heart and turn from His
fierce anger, that we should not
perish?” And God saw their works, that
they turned from their evil ways. And
God had a change of heart about the
evil which He said He would do tothem, and He did not do it.
But Jonah was deeply grieved and was
troubled. So he prayed to the Lord and
said, “O Lord, were these not my
words when I was yet in my land?
Therefore I saw the need to flee to
Tarshish; because I knew You to be
compassionate and merciful,
longsuffering and abundant in mercy,
and willing to change your heart
concerning evils. And now, Master,
Lord, take my life from me, for it is
better for me to die than to live.” And
the Lord said to Jonah, “Are you
exceedingly grieved?”

Then Jonah went out of the city and
seated himself opposite it. There he
made for himself a tent and sat under
its shade, until he might observe what
would happen to the city. And the Lord
God commanded a gourd, and it cameup over the head of Jonah to be a shade
over his head, to shield him from his
discomforts. Jonah rejoiced with great
joy because of the gourd. But early the
next morning, God commanded a
worm, and it smote the gourd, and the
gourd withered up. And when the sun
rose, God commanded a burning east
wind; and the sun beat down on the
head of Jonah, and he grew faint anddespaired of his life. And he said, “It is
better for me to die than to live.”
Then God said to Jonah, “Are you
exceedingly grieved on account of the
gourd?” And he said, “I am
exceedingly grieved, even unto death.”
And the Lord said, “You took pity on
the gourd, for which you did not labor,
nor did you make it grow, which cameup during the night and perished before
the next night. And shall I Myself not
take pity upon Nineveh, the great city,
in which dwell more than one hundred
and twenty thousand people who do not
know either their right hand or their
left, and many livestock?”

In his eighteenth year, King
Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image.
Its height was sixty cubits and its
width, six cubits, and he set it up in the
plain of Dura, in the province of
Babylon.
Then Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather
together the high officials, thecommanders, the governors, the rulers,
and all those in authority, along with all
the rulers of the provinces, to come to
the dedication of the image King
Nebuchadnezzar set up.
So the governors, the high officials, the
leaders, the great rulers, all those in
authority who ruled the provinces came
to the dedication of the image King Nebuchadnezzar set up, and they stood
before the image Nebuchadnezzar
made.
Then the herald cried out in a loud
voice, “To you it is commanded, O
peoples and tribes and languages, that
in what hour you hear the sound of the
trumpet, the pipe, the harp, the four-
stringed instrument, the psaltery, thesymphony, and every kind of music,
you shall fall down and worship the
golden image King Nebuchadnezzar set
up. But whoever does not fall down
and worship shall be cast into the
burning fiery furnace.”

So at that time, when all the peoples
heard the sound of the trumpet, the
pipe, the harp, the four-stringed
instrument, the psaltery, the symphony,
and every kind of music, all the
peoples, tribes, and languages felldown and worshipped the golden
image King Nebuchadnezzar set up.
Then Chaldean men came forward and
brought charges against the Jews, and
said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king,
live forever. You, O king, made a
decree, that every man who hears the
sound of the trumpet, the pipe, the
harp, the four-stringed instrument, the psaltery, the symphony, and every kind
of music, but does not fall down and
worship the golden image shall be cast
into the burning fiery furnace. Now
there are certain Jews you set over the
affairs of the province of Babylon:
Shádrach, Méshach, and Abédnego.
Those men did not obey your decree, O
king; and they do not serve your gods,
nor do they worship the golden image
you set up.”
Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and
fury, gave the command to bring
Shádrach, Méshach, and Abédnego. So
the men were brought before the king.
Nebuchadnezzar then answered and
said to them, “Is it true, Shádrach,
Méshach, and Abédnego, that you donot serve my gods or worship the
golden image I set up? Now then, if
you are ready, when you hear the sound
of the trumpet, the pipe, the harp, the
four-stringed instrument, the psaltery,
the symphony, and every kind of
music, that you shall fall down and

worship the golden image I made. But
indeed, if you do not worship it at that
time, you shall be cast into the burning
fiery furnace. Then what god is there
who will deliver you from my hands?”
Shádrach, Méshach, and Abédnegoanswered and said to King
Nebuchadnezzar, “We have no need to
answer you in regard to this thing. For
there is a God in the heavens, whom
we serve, and He is able to save us
from the burning fiery furnace; and He
will deliver us from your hands, O
king. But if not, let it be known to you,
O king, that we will not serve your
gods, nor worship the golden image
you set up.”
Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of
anger, and the expression on his face
changed toward Shádrach, Méshach,
and Abédnego. So he commanded them
to heat the furnace seven times more,
until it burned to its fullest. Then he
commanded certain very strong men to
bind Shádrach, Méshach, and
Abédnego and to cast them into the
burning fiery furnace.
Thereupon, those men were bound
together with their sandals, caps, leg-
coverings, and clothing, and were cast
into the midst of the burning fiery
furnace. Because the king’s command
was urgent, and the furnace was
exceedingly hot, these three men,
Shádrach, Méshach, and Abédnego fell
bound into the midst of the burning
fiery furnace.
But they walked about in the midst of
the flame, singing to God and praising
the Lord.

Prayer of Azariah `#1@"B7n oa'#A1B
Then Azaríah stood and prayed thus
and opened his mouth in the midst of
the fire and said:
“Blessed are You and praiseworthy, OLord, the God of our fathers, and
praised and glorified is Your name unto
the ages. For You are righteous in all
You did for us, and all Your works are
true. Your ways are upright, and all
Your judgments are true. The
judgments You made are true,
according to all You brought on us and
on the holy city of our fathers, because
in truth and judgment You did all thesethings on account of our sins.
For we sinned and acted lawlessly to
depart from You. We sinned in every
way, and did not obey Your
commandments. Neither did we
treasure or do as You commanded, that
it might go well with us.
Everything You brought on us and all
You did to us, You did in true
judgment. You delivered us into the
hands of lawless and rebellious
enemies and to an unjust king, the most
evil in any land.
Now it is not for us to open our mouth,
for this has become a shame and
disgrace to Your servants and to those
who worship You.
For Your name’s sake, do not hand us
over to the end, and do not reject Your
covenant. Do not withdraw Your mercy
from us for the sake of Abraham, who
is loved by You, and for the sake of
Isaac, Your servant, and of Israel, Your
holy one, as You spoke to them, saying

that You would multiply their seed as
the stars of heaven, and as the sand
along the seashore.
Yet we have been diminished in
number, O Master, more than all the
nations, and we are humbled in all theearth today because of our sins. “At
this time, there is no prince, no prophet,
and no leader; there is no whole burnt
offering, no sacrifice, no offering, and
no incense; there is no place to bear
fruit before You and to find mercy. Yet
with a contrite soul and humbled spirit,
may we receive mercy, as with whole
burnt offerings of rams and bulls, and
as with thousands of fatted lambs. Solet this be our sacrifice before You
today, and may it be accomplished for
those who follow You; for there is no
shame for those who trust in You.
Now we are following You with all our
heart, and we fear You and seek Your
face. “Do not put us to shame, but deal
with us according to Your kindness.
And according to the abundance ofYour mercy. Deliver us by Your
wondrous works and give glory to
Your name, O Lord.
May all those who inflict evils upon
Your servants be put to shame and
humiliated in their power; and let their
strength be crushed. Let them know
that You alone are the Lord God and
glorious over all the inhabited earth.”
Now the king’s servants who cast them
in did not cease to stoke the furnace
with naphtha, pitch, coarse fiber, and
brushwood. The flame shot forty-nine
cubits above the furnace, and it broke
out and burned those it found around

Brethren, Do you not know that all of
us who have been baptized into Christ
Jesus were baptized into His death? We
were buried therefore with Him by
baptism into death, so that as Christ was
raised from the dead by the glory of the
Father, we too might walk in newness
of life. For if we have been united with
Him in a death like His, we shall
certainly be united with Him in a
resurrection like His. We know that our
old self was crucified with Him so that
the sinful body might be destroyed, and
we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
For he who has died is freed from sin.
But if we have died with Christ, we
believe that we shall also live with Him.
For we know that Christ being raised
from the dead will never die again;death no longer has dominion over
Him. The death He died He died to sin,
once for all, but the life He lives He
lives to God. So you also must consider
yourselves dead to sin and alive to God
in Christ Jesus.

the true God and Father, having won usunto Himself, as His own chosen people, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation; and having purified us by water, and having sanctified
us by the Holy Spirit, He gave Himself as aransom to death, in which we were held
captive, sold into bondage under sin; andhaving descended through the Cross into
Hades, that He might fill all things withHimself, He loosed the pains of death; and
He rose on the third day, making a way forall flesh unto the resurrection from the dead,
since it was not possible that the Author oflife should be held by corruption, that He
might be the First-Fruits of those who havefallen asleep, the First-Born from the dead,
that He might be in all things the firstamong all; ascending into heaven, He sat

I thank You, O Lord my God, that You
have not rejected me, a sinner, but have
made me worthy to partake of Your
holy Mysteries. I thank You that You
have granted me, although I amunworthy, to partake of Your most-pure
and heavenly Gifts. O Master Who
loves mankind, Who died and rose for
our sake, and granted to us these
awesome and life-giving Mysteries for
the well-being and sanctification of our
souls and bodies, let these Gifts be for
the healing of both soul and body, for
the averting of every evil, for the
enlightenment of the eyes of my heart,
for the peace of the powers of my soul,
for faith unashamed, for love unfeigned,
for the fullness of wisdom, for the
observing of Your commandments, for
an increase of Your divine grace, and
for the attainment of Your kingdom.
Preserved by them in Your holiness,
may I always remember Your grace and
no longer live for myself, but for You,O our Master and Benefactor. And thus,
when I depart this life in the hope of
eternal life, may I attain everlasting
rest, where the sound of those that keep
festival is unceasing, and the delight of
those who behold the ineffable beauty
of Your countenance is unending. For
