Incorruption and Life, we cry out: O

Days that commence with the Saving
Resurrection from the dead,

Radiance that it gets from both of

is dignified in that it manifests the
Glory of our Master’s Ascension that
is yet to come.

for Thee; my soul waited for Thy
Word. My soul Hopes in the Lord.
Zion heard and was jubilant with Joy
when the Resurrection of Christ was
proclaimed to her. Her Faithful
Offspring exulted, and were glad
when they saw our Lord alive again.
From the stigma of Christicide He
will Cleanse by the Holy Spirit. She
prepares for the Festive observance
of the Most Joyful Midpoint between
the two important Feasts.

From the morning watch until night;
from the morning watch until night
– let Israel Hope in the Lord.
Coming is the Abundant Pouring Forth
of the Holy Spirit upon all, as Holy
Scripture states. And the appointed
time’s Midpoint today proclaims the
undoubted Promise made by Christ
after His Death and Burial, and
Divine Resurrection to His Holy
Disciples, in reference to the
upcoming manifestation of the
Paraclete.
PENTECOSTARION -
the Lord there is Mercy, and
with Him is Abundant Redemption;
and He will Redeem Israel from all
his transgressions.
The Source of Wonders came to the
Source at the Sixth Hour to catch the
Fruit of Eve; for at the same Hour,
Eve had left Paradise by the
deception of the serpent. The
Woman of Samaria approached to
draw water. When our Saviour
beheld her, he said: “Give Me water
to drink, and I will fill you with
Water welling up!” and the Wise
Woman ran to the city, and at once
announced to the citizens: “Come!
Behold Christ the Lord! The Saviour
of our soul!”
Praise the Lord, all Gentiles! Praise
Him, all you people!
When our Lord went to the Well, the
Woman of Samaria asked the
Compassionate One: grant me the
Water of Faith and I shall receive the
Streams of the Font: Joy and
Redemption. O Giver of Life, Lord: ✞
Glory to Thee!
His Mercy rules over us; and the
Truth of the Lord endures forever.
The Son and Word of the Father, like
Him, without Beginning, like Him
Eternal, the Source of Healings, went
to the Source; and a Woman from
Samaria approached to draw water.
Beholding her, our Saviour said:
“Give Me water to drink, and go –
call Thy husband.” As though

speaking with a man and not God,
she was keen to deceive and said: “I
have no husband.” The Teacher
answered her: “Thou says truly: ‘I
have no husband,’ for Thou hast
had five, and the one Thou hast
now is not Thy husband.” Smitten
by His Words, she ran to the city and
cried to the citizens, saying: “Come!
Behold Christ Who grants the world
His Great Mercy!”
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
Finding the Woman of Samaria by the
Well of Jacob, Jesus Who covers the
Earth with Clouds, asked for water
from her. O the Wonder! He Who
rides upon the Cherubim converses
with a Woman who is a harlot. He
Who hung the Earth upon the
Waters, ask for water! He Who pours
out springs and pools of water,
seeks water, as He wishes truly to
draw her who is hunted by the
warmonger foe, and to quench with
the Water of Life the Thirst of her
who is aflame with foul desires, as
He alone is Compassionate and
Loves mankind.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of
ages.
Amen
The Forefather and Prophet of God,
David, through Thee, cried out in
Song concerning Thee, to the One
Who has done Magnificent Things
for Thee. The Queen stands at Thy
Right Hand, for God, Who gladly
became Man through Thee, without
father, has proclaimed Thee
“Mother,” and Host of Life, so that
He might Restore in us His Image,
which was corrupted by Passion.
Having found the Stray Sheep caught
in the mountains, He laid It on His
Shoulders, and brought it to His
Father, and by His own Free Will, He
placed it among the Heavenly Hosts,
and will Save, O Theotokos, the
world - Christ, Who has Great and
Abundant Mercy.
