Светлое Христово Воскресение

Easter, Lord's Easter! The Lord brought us from death to life by His Resurrection. And now this Resurrection “the angels sing in heaven” *9, having seen the lightness of the deified human nature in the glory predetermined for it in the face of the Lord the Redeemer, in whose image, by the power of His Resurrection, all those who truly believe in Him and cleave to Him with all their souls were to be transformed. Glory, Lord, to Your glorious Resurrection! The angels sing, rejoicing with us and anticipating the replenishment of their host; Vouchsafe us, Lord, to glorify You, the Risen One, with a pure heart, seeing in Your Resurrection the suppression of the corruption that consumes us, the seeding of a new bright life and the dawn of future eternal glory, into which You entered as the forerunner by the Resurrection for our sake. Not only human, but even angelic tongues are not strong enough to express Your ineffable mercy towards us, gloriously Risen Lord! Stichera of the Octoechos (tone 6, week, on the verse, 1st), sung on Easter “povnegda i3zhti i3z8tsr7kvi”. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
