And so the heavenly powers cried out to You, O Giver of life: Glory to Your resurrection, O Christ! Glory to Your kingdom! Glory to Your saving plan, O only Lover of Mankind. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and for ever and ever, Amen. KONDAK (Tone 3): Formerly laden with every kind of immorality, today because of your repentance, you were made a bride of Christ, longing for citizenship with angels crushing demons by the Cross as your weapon.

GOSPEL: St. Mark 10:32-45 INSTEAD OF It is truly right... : In you, Lady Full of Grace, all creation rejoices, the world of angels and the human race. Sanctified temple, spiritual paradise, boast of virgins, God took flesh from you and became a Child; He was God before the ages. He made your womb a throne and made it more encompassing than the heavens. In you, Lady Full of Grace, all creation rejoices, glory be to you.
