to her.
PEOPLE ✞Glory to Thee, O Lord:
Thee!
In the eyes of the soul have I become
unseeing. Unto Thee I come, O
Christ, as did of old the man born
blind, and in Repentance, I cry to
Thee: FOR THOSE IN DARKNESS,
THOU ART THE MOST
RESPLENDENT LIGHT!

The Stream of Thy Wisdom ineffable
and Knowledge on High grant me, O
Christ, Light of those in darkness
and Guide to those who wander, so
that I may relate that, which Holy
Scripture taught, even the Gospel of
Peace; which tells of the Blind Man’s
Miracle: that a man being blind from
birth enjoys the use of his sensual
eyes, as well as those of his soul, and
in Faith cries to Thee: FOR THOSE
IN DARKNESS, THOU ART THE

Having received such a charge, he put
them into the inner prison and
fastened their feet in the stocks.
At midnight Paul and Silas were praying
and singing Hymns to God, and the
prisoners were listening to them.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake,
and the foundations of the prison
were shaken; and immediately all the
doors were opened and everyone’s
chains were loosened.
Having awoken from sleep and seeing
the prison doors open, the Keeper of
the prison assumed that the
prisoners had fled, and, having
drawn his sword, he was about to
kill himself.
Paul called with a loud voice, saying:
“Do yourself no harm, for we are all
here.”
The Jailer called for a light, ran in, and
fell down trembling before Paul and
Silas.
And he took them out, saying: “Sirs:
what must I do to be Saved?”
They said: “Believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ, and you will be Saved – you
and your household.”
