Инославные вечерни

Having compared our Vespers on the themes of songs and prayers with the heterodox Vespers, we will find in the latter the following most significant differences (points of overlap are indicated in the presentation of the rite). Armenian Vespers begins with Ps. 54, 17–18: “I cried to God, and the Lord heard me; evening and morning and noon I will proclaim and proclaim, and he will hear my voice,” Ps. 85 “Lord, incline Your ear”, 139 “Lord, rescue me”, 120 “I have lifted up my eyes”, 90 “I live in help”, 122 “I have lifted up my eyes to You” (at our weekday vespers), 53 “God in Your name save me” 2384 ; Thus, all the psalms of our 6th hour, one of the 9th and one from the Midnight Office were included in the Armenian Vespers. Coptic Vespers - ps. 130 “Lord, my heart is not lifted up,” 131 “Remember, O Lord, David,” 136 “On the rivers of Babylon,” 137 “Let us confess to You, O Lord,” 145 “Praise the Lord for my soul,” 146 “Praise the Lord, for the psalm is good,” 147 “Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem,” Evangel. OK. 2, 25–30 about the meeting of the Lord, I Believe, 1st prayer with thanksgiving for the day that has passed and with a request to accept the evening praise, deliver from the snares of the evil one, give a good evening and night, 2nd prayer for forgiveness of sins for the day, good sleep, Guardian Angel and deliverance from evil and torment of the devil 2385. Abyssinian Vespers: ps. 117 “Confess the Lord” and “songs of degrees” - ps. 119–128 (“To the Lord there is no time for sorrow,” we have the usual kathisma at a weekday evening), Gospel. Mk. 1, 29–34 about the healing of Simon’s mother-in-law and about the evening healings of the Savior, “Glory to God in the highest is good will,” a petition for forgiveness through the prayers of the Mother of God. “We worship You, Christ, with Your Good Father and the Holy Spirit, for You came and saved us,” our 4 penitential stichera: “I wanted with tears,” from the service of the great canon stichera “My whole life,” “The severity of neglect,” “The stumbling block,” our Theotokos “Hail, Pure One,” “Good is,” penitential sedals from the Psalter according to the 17th kathisma “Those who have sinned against You, Savior”, “I call to You”, martyr “Who has not desired earthly pleasures”, Theotokos “O Virgin Mary, preserve Your flock”, penitential troparia “Like a prodigal son”, “Pray like a publican”, prayer to the Lord Jesus with confession of the day’s sins and a request for correction with the addition of a request to the saints and the Mother of God to intercede for us, 2 prayers to God the Father, as the Creator of the day, with thanksgiving for the day we have lived and a request for a good night, a prayer for kings, similar to “God establish,” “For all time” 2386. Thus, the entire service is of a penitential nature (Abyssinian Matins has a more laudatory and pleading content). Roman Vespers has the next 5 psalms from the number 109-147, so Sunday ps. 109–113 with antiphons: “Speech the Lord” before 109 ps., “Speech the Lord at My right hand” (v. 1) after it; for ps. 110 art. 7 of it: “Faithful,” “All His commandments are faithful, established for ever and ever”; for ps. 111 Art. 1: “In the commandments”, “In His commandments He will greatly delight”; for ps. 112 Art. 2 “Be the name of the Lord,” “Blessed be the name of the Lord forever”; for ps. 113 art. 26: “We are alive,” “We are alive and bless the Lord”; capitulum 2Cor. 1:3, 4 - glorifying God, the Father of Christ, for consolation in all sorrow (this must mean the resurrection); hymn Lucis creator 2387 to God as the Creator of light and day, which were created on this day of the week (hymns for vespers of each day glorify the work of creation of this day, on Monday - the creation of heaven, etc.; cf. in Jewish worship, Introductory chapter, 11); responsory: “Let my prayer be corrected, O Lord, as incense before You” (Ps. 140:2), the song of the Mother of God “My soul magnifies” from Glory to the Father 2388. Anglican Vespers begins with a verse of Holy Scripture about the power of repentance, followed by an exhortation to confess sins, the confession itself, repeated by everyone after the pastor, the resolution of sins from the pastor, consisting in his prayer for the granting of true repentance and the Holy Spirit and in the announcement of God's forgiveness of those who truly repent, the Lord's Prayer, pronounced by everyone, with antiphons and a small doxology, the reading of alternating 2-4 psalms, reading from the Old Testament, My soul magnifies or ps. 97 “Sing to the Lord” with a little doxology, reading from the apostolic epistles, ps. 66 “God has been gracious to us” with a small doxology, the Apostolic Symbol or Athanasiev, the greeting “The Lord is with you”, “Let us pray”, “Lord have mercy”, “Christ have mercy”, the Lord’s prayer, antiphons, 3 collections (collective prayers) - daily and holiday for peace and for deliverance from all dangers, prayers for the sovereign, clergy and people, greeting from 2 Cor. 13, 13 “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God the Father and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all, amen” 2389. For Protestants, the afternoon service consists of an opening song (at the pastor's choice), a sermon with a short closing prayer, the Lord's Prayer and a biblical blessing, a song, intonation (a short verse begun by the pastor and ended by the choir, for example, “Let the name of the Lord be praised and blessed - from now on and forever”), collections according to the day, blessings at the altar (in the words of Num. 6:24–26), final verse 2390.

Here is this hymn: “The greatest Creator of Light, wearing out the light of days, in the beginning preparing the beginning of the light of the new world; // Which morning, connected with evening, was called day; (let) the dirty chaos be destroyed, hear prayers with tears. // Let the thought, burdened with guilt, not run away from debt in life, not thinking about anything eternal, binding oneself with sins. // Let him knock on the heavenly door, let him remove the reward from the worldly one; let us avoid everything harmful, let us cleanse everything that is bad. // Help, the Most Good Father (piissime), and the One equal to the Father (Unice), with the Comforter Spirit, Reigning throughout the entire age. Amen. – The hymn is attributed to Pope St. Gregory the Great (Nikel E. Geschichte der katholischen Kirchenmusik. Bresl., 1908:105). Breviarium romanum, 141–144 Seredinsky T., prot.
