Paraklesis - May 13, 2020

From the years of my youth, many passions combat me; but You, Who are my Savior, assist me and save me. (2)

You haters of Zion shall be put to shame by the Lord Almighty, for as grass in the fire, you shall all be withered. (2)

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

By the Holy Spirit, every soul is made living, is exalted, and made shining through purification, by the Threefold Oneness, in a hidden manner.

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

By the Holy Spirit, the streams of grace are flowing, watering, all of the creation, granting life upon it.

I shall remember your Holy Name from generation to generation.
-The 1st Antiphon of the Anavathmoi of the 4th Tone

Father Mark Pakes offers the homily.
