O Lord our God, Who bows the Heavens

and descends for the Salvation of
mankind: look upon Thy Servants
and upon Thine Inheritance.
For unto Thee, the Formidable and
Loving Judge, have Thy Servants

inclined their necks, expecting not
help from men, but awaiting Thy
Mercy and hoping for Thy Salvation,
with which Thou preserve them at all

of the evil one, from vain thoughts

Thou found a man who was blind

from birth. Thy Disciples wondered
and asked Thee: Teacher, who was
it who sinned this man or his
parents that he was born blind?
And Thou, O My Saviour, said to
them: Neither this man nor his
parents sinned, but that the Works
of God should be revealed in him. I
must Work the Works of Him Who
sent Me, which no one can work.
When Thou had said these things,
Thou spat upon the ground and
made clay. And Thou Anointed his
eyes, and said to him: Go, and wash
in the Pool of Siloam. And he went,
and washed, and became well. And
he cried out to Thee: O Lord, I

Wherefore, we likewise cry out:
Have Mercy on us!
and ever, and to the Ages of
