Delight me with love, O Christ, and change me with Your Divine care; but my sins fell into immaterial fire, and I am vouchsafed to be filled with pleasure in You: let me rejoice, O Blessed One, magnify Your two comings.
Your divine zeal - your holy desire for You. And to be satisfied with the pleasure that is in You - to be filled with the pleasure contained in You; to enjoy You to the full.
+ May I rejoice, O Blessed One, magnify Your two comings - that is, the first, at the Incarnation, and the second, at the end of the world. When we unite with Christ in the Sacrament of Communion, being saturated with the pleasure contained in Him, His coming is realized for us personally, here and now, and then we can not abstractly, “theoretically,” but with our whole being, rejoicing, magnify both the first and second comings of Christ, so close to us in this holy moment.
In the brightness of Your saints, how am I below, unworthy? Even if I dare to go into the palace, my clothes will expose me as not being for marriage, and I will be cast out from the Angels, bound and bound. Cleanse, Lord, the filth of my soul, and save me, as a Lover of Mankind.
In the bright host of Your saints - in the bright host of Your saints. What's below - how will I get in? If only I dared to speak, because if I dare to enter with them.
+ The Troparion turns us to Christ’s parable about those invited to the wedding feast - see: Matthew 22:2-14.
