Mode 4. Psalm ,1 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Verse: Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His mercy endures forever. Brethren, rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you. Gospel Reading: The Gospel According to John 12:1-18 Six days before Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazaros was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; Martha served, and Lazaros was one of those at table with him. Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. But Judas Iscariot, one of his

2 disciples (he who was to betray him), said, Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it. Jesus said, Let her alone, let her keep it for the day of my burial. The poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me. When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Lazaros, whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests planned to put Lazaros also to death, because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus. The next day a great crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying, Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel! And Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it; as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt! His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that this had been written of him and had been done to him. The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazaros out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness. The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. Conclusion of Doxology (Instead of Today salvation has come ) In our baptism we were buried with You, O Christ our God, and by Your resurrection you have granted us eternal life. Therefore, we sing Your praises, O Lord: Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. ( Book page 149) Response to Second Antiphon Save us, O Son of God, who rode on a donkey colt, save us who sing to you: Alleluia (4). Hymn for the Feast Before your passion you confirmed the resurrection of all by raising Laz rus from the dead, O Christ our God. Therefore, like the children of old, we also carry symbols of victory, and to you the victor over death, do we cry out: Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. ( Book page 145) Entrance Hymn Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. God is the Lord, and He revealed Himself to us. Save us, O Son of God, who sat on a donkey's colt. Another Hymn for the Feast In our baptism we were buried with You, O Christ our God, and by Your resurrection you have granted us eternal life. Therefore, we sing Your praises, O Lord: Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. ( Book page 149)

3 Kontakion In heaven upon Your throne, while on earth riding the colt of a donkey, O Christ our God, You accepted the angels praise with the songs of the children who cried out to You: Blessed is He who comes for the restoration of Adam. ( Book page 273) Megalynarion The Lord is God and has appeared to us. Prepare the feast and come with rejoicing. Let us magnify Christ; bearing palms and branches let us sing praises to Him: Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, our Savior, our Savior. ( Book page 303) Communion Hymn Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel (3). Alleluia. ( Book page 317) Hymn after Communion (instead of We have seen ) Before your passion you confirmed the resurrection of all by raising Laz rus from the dead, O Christ our God. Therefore, like the children of old, we also carry symbols of victory, and to you the victor over death, do we cry out: Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Friday, April 6, :00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (Followed by the Great Vespers for the Deposition from the Holy Cross) "THE LIGHT THAT SAVES, O JESUS" In the Darkness of the Grave, How Can You Lie Hidden Taken from the Lamentations Hymns, chanted by the entire congregation on Holy Friday Evening, we celebrate Jesus Christ Who is the Light of the World. But for a brief while, this Light was removed from the earth as He was placed in the tomb. For three days, His Body was shrouded in darkness. Had He not emerged victorious from the tomb through His Resurrection, we would still be covered in darkness. The children of our St. Anna Parish will learn what it means to live in darkness as we await the Saving Light of Jesus. We will learn, live, play and eat in darkness, then experience the joy of Light. The Light that is Christ.

9 Parents, please advise your children that during appointed times, your children will participate in activities with their eyes blindfolded. Children from 3rd Grade and up will spend much of their time "in darkness." Also advise your girls not to wear dresses unless they have leggings underneath. There is a portion of the day that involves (completely safe and supervised) physical activity. This will be a fun, fascinating and spiritually rewarding activity for your children. Excused School Absence Forms are available in the Narthex. Don't let your kids miss out on this special opportunity!
