Property.
to one He gave five talents, to
another, two, to another one – to
each according to his ability.
“And He went away.
“He who had received five talents
went at once and traded with them,
and he made five talents more.
“So also he who had two talents – he
made two talents more.
he who had received on talent
dug in the ground, and hid his
Master’s talents.
“After a long time, the Master of those
servants came to settle accounts
with them.
“And he who had received firve
talents went forward, bringing five
talents more, saying: ‘Master, Thou
granted me five talents. Behold, I
have made five talents more.’
“His Master said to him: ‘Well done,
Good and Faithful servant! Thou
hast been Faithful over a little. I
will set Thee over much. Enter into
the Joy of Thy Master.’
“He who had received two talents also
went forward, saying: ‘Master,

And they went and told it to the others,
but they did not believe them either.
Later He appeared to the Eleven as they
sat at the table; and He rebuked their
unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they did not believe those
who had seen Him after He had
Risen.
And He said to them, “Go into all the
world and preach the Gospel to
every creature. He who believeth
and is Baptised will be saved; but he
who doth not believe will be
condemned. And these Signs will
follow those who believeth: In My
Name they will cast out demons;
they will speak with new tongues;
they will take up serpents and if
they drink anything deadly, it
will by no means hurt them; they
will lay hands on the sick, and they
will recover.”
So then, after the Lord had spoken to
them, He was received up into
Heaven, and sat down at the right
Hand of God.
And they went out and preached
everywhere, the Lord working with
them and confirming the Word
through the accompanying Signs.
Amen.

led us out from the gates of Death.

Manifested the start of the New

when he beheld Thee – cried out and
said: ‘From corruption release me
now, for today I have beheld Thee, O
Lord!’
A Light for Revelation to the Gentiles,
and for Glory to Thy People Israel.
Never separated from the Father’s
Bosom in Divinity, and Incarnated as
Thou Willed, and held in the Blessed
Arms of the Ever Virgin, Thou Who
hold all things in Thy Hand, were
given into the hands of the God-
Receiver, Symeon. Therefore, full of
Joy, he cried to Thee: ‘O Master,
with my own eyes, I, Thy servant,
have seen Thee, O Lord. Now Thou
let me depart in Peace.
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
When Mary Magdalene proclaimed our
Saviour’s Resurrection from the dead
of our Saviour and His Appearance,
the Disciples would not believe, so
they were rebuked for their hardness
of heart. Yet when they were
equipped Signs and Miracles, they
were sent out to Preach. And Thou,
O Lord, Ascended to Thy Father, the
Source of Light; and they preached
everywhere, verifying their words
with Miracles. Wherefore, we who
are Enlightened by them, Glorify Thy
Resurrection from the dead, O Lover
of mankind.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of
ages.
Amen
