 Journey to Pascha 2019 no. 4 (Forgiveness Sunday)

This Sunday is dedicated to the Restoration of Holy Icons and the Church’s victory over other heresies and divisions it has had to endure in the first millenium. It is therefore also called the Triumph of Orthodox or the Sunday of Orthodoxy.

Readings for Forgiveness Sunday: Hebrews 11:24-26, 32-12:2 (Epistle); John 1:43-51 (Gospel)

Let us set out with joy upon the second week of the Fast; and like Elijah the Tishbite let us fashion for ourselves, from day to day, O brethren, a fiery chariot for the four great virtues:

Let us exalt our minds through freedom of passions;

Let us arm our flesh with purity and our hands with acts of compassion;

Let us make our feet beautiful with the preaching of the Gospel;

And let us put the enemy to flight and gain the victory.
