DESCRIPTION:Apostle’s Fast. Abstention from meat and foods that contain t
 hese ingredients\n\nAT VESPERS ON THURSDAY EVENING Kathisma Reading\n\nThe
  appointed psalms are chanted.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 3\, Podoben “They
  set up…”\n\nIf You mark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with 
 You forgiveness is that You may be revered.\n\nО Lord\, who in Your divin
 e nature are beyond suffering\,* You endured suffering in Your human natur
 e\,* being nailed to the Cross and pierced in the side by a spear\,* from 
 whence You have poured forth upon me two rivers of ineffable mysteries.\n\
 nI have waited for You as You have commanded\; my soul patiently relies on
  Your promise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\n\nWith mockery You were 
 wounded by the crown plaited of thorns\, О King and Saviour of all\,* who
  have torn apart the proscription of thorny sin\;* and taking the reed in 
 Your hands\, in the book of heaven\, You have recorded all of us who belie
 ve in You.\n\nFrom the morning watch until night* let Israel trust in the 
 Lord.\n\nThe undeserved envy of the Jews who crucified You* did not cease 
 even when You were dead\, О innocent Christ\;* but the wicked ones slande
 red You as a liar and asked Pilate to guard Your tomb.* О what incurable 
 wrath!\n\nTone 8\n\nFor with the Lord there is mercy\, and with Him there 
 is plentiful redemption\;* and He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquit
 ies.\n\nO most blessed father David\,* who eminently irradiate your mind w
 ith abstinence\,* you took wing to the First Cause of good things* and wer
 e shown to be a pillar of light\,* with godly understanding ever illuminin
 g with your words and deeds* all who have recourse to you.* therefore\, we
  honour and bless you.\n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nations\;* proclaim Hi
 s glory\, all you people.\n\nLike a right melodious bird you established y
 our shelter* in the branches of a tree\, O father\,* frozen by the cold an
 d burned by the heat\;* and you therefore received golden wings of dispass
 ion and perfection\,* and have made your abode in the heights of heaven\,*
  ever praying for us who praise you.\n\nStrong is the love of the Lord for
  us\;* eternally will His truth endure.\n\nHaving utterly consumed the ple
 asures of the flesh* with the divine ember of dispassion\,* you remained u
 nconsumed\, O venerable one\,* holding burning embers in your hand before 
 the face of the emperor\,* who was amazed at your radiance.* Therefore\, g
 reat favour has been given you by God\,* who through grace has made you a 
 great intercessor\, O blessed one.\n\nTone 6\, Glory…\n\nO venerable fat
 her\, word of your corrections has gone forth into all the earth\;* theref
 ore\, you have obtained the reward of your labours in the heavens\,* have 
 destroyed legions of the demons\, and attained to the ranks of the angels\
 ,* whose life you blamelessly emulated.* As you have boldness before Chris
 t God\,* beg for peace for our souls.\n\nNow…\n\n“Pondering Your seedl
 ess conception\,* Your ineffable birth\, I marvel greatly.* How was it You
 r good pleasure to die as a malefactor\, O my Son?”* the all-pure one ex
 claimed\, weeping.\n\nProkeimenon\, Tone 6\n\nMy help is from the Lord\,* 
 Who made heaven and earth.\n\nverse: I lifted up my eyes to the mountains\
 , from where my help shall come.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 3\n\nI bow down\, О
  Christ\, before Your precious Cross:* the guardian of the world\, the sal
 vation of us sinners\,* the great purification and boast of the whole worl
 d.\n\nI have lifted up my eyes to You enthroned in heaven. Behold\, as the
  eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters\, as the eyes of a mai
 d are on the hands of her mistress\, so are our eyes on the Lord our God u
 ntil He has mercy on us.\n\nLifting up his arms in the form of the Cross o
 n the mountain\, Moses vanquished Amalek\;* and You\, О Saviour\, stretch
 ed out upon the precious Cross\, embraced me\,* saving me from slavery to 
 the enemy\,* and gave it to me as the sign of life\,* enabling me to evade
  the arrows of my adversaries.* Wherefore\, О Word\, I bow down before Yo
 ur precious Cross.\n\nHave mercy on us\, O Lord\, have mercy on us\; for w
 e have been filled with shame\; our soul is all too full of the mockery of
  the rich\, of the contempt of the proud.\n\nGreat is the power of Your Cr
 oss!* For it was planted in one place\, yet works throughout the world\;* 
 and it made apostles of fishermen and martyrs of the heathen\,* that they 
 might pray on behalf of our souls.\n\nTone 8\, Glory…\n\nWe\, the multit
 udes of monks\, honour you as our guide\, O David our father\;* for by you
 r steps we have truly learned to walk aright.* Blessed are you who\, labou
 ring for Christ\, denounced the power of the enemy\,* O converser with the
  angels and companion of the venerable and the righteous.* With them entre
 at the Lord\, that our souls find mercy.\n\nNow…\n\nThe unblemished heif
 er\, beholding the Bullock* nailed of His own will to the Tree\,* cried ou
 t\, lamenting piteously:* Woe is me\, my Child most beloved!* How has the 
 ungracious Jewish multitude recompensed You\,* wishing to leave me bereft 
 of You\, O most Beloved?\n\nTroparia\n\nTone 8\n\nThe divine image was fai
 thfully preserved in you\, O father\,* for taking up the Cross you followe
 d Christ.* By your deeds you have taught us to see beyond flesh\, which pa
 sses\,* and care for the soul\, a thing immortal.* and so\, O Venerable Da
 vid\,* your spirit rejoices with the angels.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nWhen th
 e Mother beheld upon the cross* the Lamb\, the Shepherd\, and the Saviour 
 of the world\,* she exclaimed tearfully:* The world rejoices at the sight 
 of its redemption\,* but my heart is afire as I see Your pain on the cross
 \,* which You accept for the sake of all\, O my Son and my God!\n\nAT DIVI
