عيد الصليب

Daytime Litanies (Arabic/English) -- Abouna Mina Shaheid

In his first letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul writes, “Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Cor. 5:8). St. John Chrysostom comments on this, saying that St. Paul ìdesires for us to celebrate the Cross because “Christ is the Passover and has been sacrificed for us” (1 Cor. 5:7). The Cross is the altar on which the Son was sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins. This is the sacrifice whose aroma the Father has accepted on behalf of humanity. The sins of humanity have indeed been forgiven through the sacrifice of the Cross.
As for the rite of the Feasts of the Cross, the prayers are all chanted in the Palm Sunday (Sha’aniny) and the joyful tunes. “Avashk” is used when applicable, including Sunday Liturgies. During the Vespers and Prime Raising of Incense, the Verses of the Cymbals are chanted in the joyful tune, and the verses specifically for the Feast of the Cross are chanted immediately after the Adam or Watos Introductions. The Doxologies are chanted in the Palm Sunday tune, beginning with the Doxology of the Cross. After the priest prays V] nai nan , the congregation chants Kuri`e `eleycon three times in the major tune, while proceeding around the altar and the church’s nave three times. Next, the Hymn of the Cross Etauen ni`cqai is chanted, followed by the Exposition of the Cross, which is then interpreted in the common tongue. The Response of the Exposition, `Ebolhiten pef`ctauroc is then chanted. In the Vespers Raising of Incense, after the Litany of the Gospel is prayed, the Psalm is chanted in the joyful tune. The Gospel is read, and then the Gospel Response, `Ftai`yout gar , is chanted. As for the Prime Offering of Incense, the priest prays the First Gospel Litany, then the procession of the Cross begins, during which twelve readings from the Gospels are read, and a Gospel Response is chanted after each reading. After the procession, the Prime Gospel Litany is prayed, the Psalm is chanted in the joyful tune, the Gospel is read, and the Gospel Response is chanted. The prayer ends with chanting the Concluding Canon of the Passion (Pascha) Week or the concluding canon specific to the Vespers and Prime offering of incense. ©ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED TO THE HCOC CHORUS.

In this Advent sermon, "Lord Save Me!!," Fr. Elijah from St. Mark DC reflects on the hope and salvation found in the coming of Christ. Drawing from the story of Zachariah and Elizabeth, the message reminds us of God’s perfect timing and His power to rescue us from burdens and spiritual struggles. Through the Psalms and Gospel readings, we are called to cry out, “Lord, save me!” and invite Christ to transform our lives. Whether weary, disconnected, or overwhelmed, this season is a chance to reconnect with the source of life and embrace the hope that Christ brings.

Lord Save Me!!

His Grace shares with us a story from the book called “The World of the Desert Fathers” which exemplifies the importance of fasting. 

As we approach the Holy Great Fast, let us remember the lesson from this story along with the saying of St. John Chrysostom: "Fasting of the body is food for the soul."
