Let us truly return to Him, that He too may turn back to us

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal. Have Mercy On Us. (3x) Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, both now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Good morning, and Praise the Lord! Today is Tuesday July 16, 2024. Today we celebrate Athenogenes the Holy Martyr of Heracleopolis.

All holy Trinity have mercy on us. Lord, forgive us our sins; Master pardon our transgressions; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities for your name’s sake.

Lord, have mercy (3x)

Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, both now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Romans 10:11-21;11:1-2

Matthew 11:16-20

Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, present everywhere and filling all things. Treasury of blessings and giver of life. Come and abide in us, and save our souls, gracious Lord.

Let us abstain from deeds and words hateful to God, that we may boldly call God our Father. Let us truly return to Him, that He too may turn back to us, cleanse us from all sin and make us worthy of His divine grace. Then shall we keep festival both now and for ever, and celebrate in a godly and spiritual way the accomplishments of God’s promise, the coming of the All-holy Spirit among men and His resting upon them; the fulfillment and perfection of the blessed hope in Christ Himself our Lord.

-Saint Gregory Palamas “On Pentecost”

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name

Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven

Give us this day our daily bread

Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory forever. Amen.
