Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

On the Beatitudes, 8 troparia: 4 from Ode III of the first canon of the apostle, and 4 from Ode VI of the second canon of the apostle.

¶2

After the entrance, the troparion of the temple, if such be dedicated to either the Lord or the Theotokos, then that of the apostle. (The troparion and kontakion of the temple, if it be dedicated to a saint, are not chanted.) Then, Glory…, the kontakion of the apostle; Now & ever…, the kontakion of the temple, if dedicated to the Theotokos. But if the temple be not dedicated to the Theotokos, then Now & ever…: the kontakion of the temple, if it be dedicated to Christ. But if the temple is dedicated neither to Christ nor to the Theotokos, the hymns are chanted as follows: Troparion of the apostle; Glory…, kontakion of the apostle; Now & ever…: O intercession for Christians unashamed…

A Reading from the General Epistle of John, §73, from the midpoint [I Jn. 4: 12-19]

¶7

Beloved: No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.

¶8

Alleluia, in Tone I—

Gospel according to John, §61

¶12

[Jn. 19: 25-27, 21: 24-25]

¶13

At that time, there stood by the Cross of Jesus His Mother, and His Mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw His Mother, and the disciple standing by, whom He loved, He saith to His Mother: “Woman, behold thy son!” Then saith He to the disciple: “Behold thy Mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. This is the disciple who testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen
