7 Before St. George’s icon:
(or any martyr)
Hail to you, O martyr./ Hail to
the noble athlete./ Hail to the
struggle-bearer,/ ____.

(or any saint)
Chase away from your hearts/
The thoughts of darkness,/
And the memories that

When Thou comest again,/ In
Thy fearful Parousia,/ May we
not hear with trembling:/ “I
know ye not.”

John has witnessed/ In the
four Gospels:/ “I have baptized
my Saviour/ In the
waters of the Jordan.”
11 Before the south door:
He Who sits on the
Cherubim,/ On the throne of
His glory,/ Has entered
Jerusalem:/ Oh what great
humility.
12 Before the Baptism icon:
Among those born of women,/
No one is like you:/ You are
great among all the saints,/ O
John the Baptist.
RESPONSE TO THE GOSPEL OF PRIME

“The half of all my goods
I give to the poor,
Cheerfully, O my Lord.”
Then said the Lord, the God of Hosts,
“This day is salvation come
To this house, forsomuch
As he is a son of Abraham.”
Blessed be….
