us Love the Fast! By the Power of

the Holy Spirit it will drive out the
evil passions from the soul. It will
Strengthen us in performing Divine
Deeds; it will direct our minds to
Heaven. It will mediate Forgiveness
for our transgressions granted to us
by the bountiful God.

let us sing Psalms of Joy

embracing the Precious Fast! In it,
we Spiritually Tread on the serpent,
crying to Christ with boldness:
Account us worthy, O Saviour, of
beholding without Condemnation
and Adoring Thy Holy Cross, and
rejoicing in it with Joy.
the Glory of God! You are adorned

with the Stars of Your Miracles and
Wonders of Healing!
Intercede
fervently before our Lord for us that
our Prayers may be accepted as Pure
and Sweet Smelling Incense; that we
may all be accounted worthy to
venerate the Life-giving Cross and to
behold It with Fear. Send down on
us, then, Thy Mercy, O Saviour, as
the Lover of mankind.

the Holy Martyrs said to one

which we forfeited of old, let us not
cling to our corruptible garments
today. Once because of the snake,
we put on a garment of mortality; so
let usnot take it off for the General
Resurrection. Let us think nothing
of the icy frost that melts, and let us
despise the flesh, so that we may
wear Crown of Victory that are
