✞ Most Blessed art Thou, O Virgin
Theotokos: for through Him Who
became Incarnate of Thee, Hades is
led captive, Adam is recalled from
the dead, the Curse is made void, Eve

pleasing. ✞ Glory to Thee!
After the Passion, O Christ God, the
Women went to the Tomb to Anoint
Thy Body, and they beheld Angels in

cast the net and then they were
unable to draw it in because of the
multitude of fish.
Therefore that Disciple whom Jesus
loved said to Peter: “It is the Lord!”
Now when Simon Peter heard that it
was the Lord, he put on his outer
garment (for he had removed it), and
plunged into the sea.
the other Disciples came in the
little boat (for they were not far from
land, but about two hundred cubits),
dragging the net with fish.
Then, as soon as they had come to
land, they saw a fire of coals there,
and fish laid on it, and bread.
Jesus said to them: “Bring some of the
fish which you have just caught.”
Simon Peter went up and dragged the
net to land, full of large fish, one
hundred and fifty-three; and
although there were so many, the
net had not broken.
Jesus said to them: “Come and eat
breakfast.”
Yet none of the Disciples dared ask
Him: “Who art Thou?” - knowing that
it was the Lord.
Jesus then came and took the bread and
gave it to them, and likewise the
fish.

alone Loves mankind!
Praise God in His Saints; praise Him

soldiers lose the King while they

to the abundance of Thy Mercies! O
