Todays Hymns



Troparion (Tone 7)

From the sealed tomb, You did shine forth, O Life!
Through closed doors You did come to Your disciples, O Christ God!
Renew in us, through them, an upright spirit,
By the greatness of Your mercy, O Resurrection of all!


Kontakion (Tone 8)

Thomas touched Your life-giving side with an eager hand, O Christ God,
When You did come to Your apostles through closed doors.
He cried out with all: You are my Lord and my God!

No Divine Liturgy today

There will be no Divine Liturgy this morning due to Fr Ilyan's illness.

Fr Ilyan underwent radio therapy on Friday and his health continues to be a matter of great concern.

Please remember him in your prayers.
