Paschal Tayshouri, HICS, 6th Hour of Good Friday

Thus truly the Logos of God suffered in the flesh and was sacrificed and broken on the Cross. His soul parted from His body,

while His divinity in no way parted either from His soul or from His body.

He was pierced in His side with a spear; blood and water flowed from Him for the forgiveness of the whole world. His body was smeared in them, and His soul came and was reunited with His body.

On behalf of the sins of the whole world, the Son died on the Cross.

He turned us from the way on the left towards the right. Through the blood of his Cross, He established the reconciliation of the heavenly with the earthly, and united the people with the peoples and the soul with the body.

And on the third day He rose from the tomb.

One is Emmanuel who cannot be divided after the union; there is no division into two natures. Thus we believe, thus we confess, and thus We affirm that this Body belongs to this Blood, and this Blood belongs to this Body.

You are Christ Our God, who for our sake were pierced in Your side with a spear on the heights of Golgotha in Jerusalem.

You are the Lamb of God who take away the sin of the world.
Absolve us of our transgressions and make us stand at Your right hand side.

O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who are blessed by the Cherubim, hallowed by the Seraphim, and exalted by thousands of thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand of the rational servants;

who sanctify and complete the gifts and the fullness of the fruits that have been brought to You as a sweet savor; sanctify also all of our bodies, our souls, and our spirits,

so that with a pure heart and an unashamed face, we may call upon You, O God the Father who are in the heavens, and pray, saying,

Our Fatherهكذا بالحقيقةِ تألَّمَ كلمةُ الله بالجسد، وذُبِحَ وإنْحَنىَ بالصليب وإنفصلت نفسهُ من جسدهِ.

إذ لاهوتهُ لم ينفصِل قطْ لا من نفسهِ ولا من جسدهِ.

وطُعِنَ في جنبهِ بالحربة، وجرى منهُ دمٌ وماءٌ غُفراناً لكل العالم. وتخضَّبَ بهما جسدهُ، وأتت نفسهُ وأتحدت بجسدهِ.

وعِوَض الخطية المحيطة بالعالم، مات الإبنُ بالصليب.

وردنا من التدبير الشمالي إلى اليميني. وأمَّنَ بدم صليبِه ووحَّدَ وألَّفَ السمائيين مع الأرضيين، والشعب مع الشعوب، والنفس مع الجسد.

وفي اليوم الثالث قام من القبر.

واحدٌ هو عمانوئيل، وغير مُفتَرِق من بعد الإتحاد، وغير مُنقسِم إلى طبيعتين؛ هكذا نؤمن، وهكذا نعترف، وهكذا نُصدق، أن هذا الجسد لهذا الدم وهذا الدم لهذا الجسد.

أنت هو المسيح إلهنا الذي طُعِنَ في جنبهِ بالحربة فوق الجلجلة بأورشليم لأجلنا.

أنت هو حمل الله الحامل خطية العالم. إغفر ذنوبنا وأترك خطايانا، وآقِمْنا عن جانبِكَ اليمين.

يا الله أبا ربنا وإلهنا يسوع المسيح الذي من الكاروبيم يتبارك، ومن السيرافيم يتقدس، ومن ألوف ألوف وربوات ربوات الخدام الناطقين يتعظم.

الذى يقدِّسُ ويكمِّلُ القرابين وتكميل الأثمار التي قُدمت لك رائحة لذيذة، قدِّس أيضاً أجسادنا وأنفسنا وأرواحنا كلنا.

لكي بقلب طاهر ووجه غير مخزي ندعوك يا الله الأب السماوي: ونصلي قائلين:
أبانا الذى في السموات...إلخ.

O only-begotten Son, God, the Logos who loved us, and through His love, He desired to redeem us from eternal perdition.

And since death was in the way of our redemption, He desired to go through it out of His love for us. And thus, He ascended upon the Cross that He may bear the punishment of our sins.

We are the ones who sinned, and He is the One who suffered.

We are the ones who were indebted to divine justice because of our sins, and He was the One who paid off the debts on our behalf.

For our sake, He preferred suffering over joy, toil over rest, contempt over glory, and the Cross over the throne which is carried by the cherubim.

He consented to be tied by ropes that He may loose us from the bonds of our sins. He humbled Himself that He may lift us up. He hungered to satiate us, and thirsted to quench our thirst.

And He ascended upon the Cross naked that He might clothe us with the garment of His righteousness. And He opened His side by the spear that we might enter into Him and dwell in the throne of His grace, and that the Blood might flow from His Body that we might wash ourselves from our iniquities.

Indeed, He died and was buried in the tomb, then He arose that He might raise us from the death of sin, and give us life unto life eternal.

My sins, O my God, are the thorns that pierce your holy head; I, who have saddened Your heart by my rejoicing in the vain pleasures of the world.

What is this road that leads to death in which You are walking, O my God and my Savior?

What is it that You are carrying upon Your shoulders? This is the cross of shame which You have carried on my behalf.

What is this, O Redeemer? What has caused You to consent to this?

Shall the Great One be despised? Shall the Glorified One be afflicted? Shall the Exalted One be humbled? Oh! The greatness of Your love.

Yes, it is Your great love that made You accept with endurance all these sufferings for my sake.

I give thanks to You, O my God, and Your angels, with all Your creation, give thanks to You on my behalf, for I am unable to present Your praise as befits Your love. Have we ever seen a greater love?

So be sorrowful, O my soul, for your sins that caused these sufferings to Your compassionate Redeemer. Portray His wound before you, and hope in Him when the enemy rages against you.

Grant me, O my Savior, to consider Your suffering my treasure, the crown of thorns my glory, Your sorrows my joy, Your bitterness my sweetness, Your blood my life, and Your love my pride and my thanksgiving.

O my Lord Jesus Christ, who was wounded on account of our sins, and by Your bruises we were healed, wound me by the spear of Your healing divine love. And by the blood of your Cross, purify me from my sins. Cheer me also by Your love, O You who accepted death for my sake, that You may redeem me and give me life.

O my Lord Jesus, my beloved, if You see me as a withered organ, soften me with the oil of Your grace, and confirm me in You as a living branch, O true Vine.

And when I come forth to partake of Your mysteries, make me worthy of Them, and fit for communion with You, so that I may dare with boldness without fear to call on Your holy Father, who is in the heavens, with the voice of children, saying, Our "Father ...."

Fraction: O Only Begotten Son . Fr Estafanous Rezk (Arabic)

English Recording for the Greek Hymn Η Παρθένος chanted in the Coptic Melody (Chanted on the Feast of Nativity until the Feast of Circumcision) 

Today, the virgin bears Him who is transcendent, and the earth presents the cave to Him who is beyond reach. Angels, along with shepherds glorify Him. The Magi make their way to Him by a star. For a new child has been born for us, the God before all ages.
