  Advocate\, Spirit of Truth\,* who are everywhere present and fill all thi
 ngs\,* Treasury of Blessings\, Bestower of Life\,* come\, and dwell within
  us\;* cleanse us of all that defiles us\,* and O Good One\, save our soul
 s.\n\nGreat Prokeimenon\, Tone 7\n\nWho is so great a God as our God? You 
 are the God who does wonders!\n\nverse: Among the people have You made You
 r power known!\n\nverse: And I said: now I have made a beginning: this cha
 nge has been wrought by the right hand of the Most High.\n\nverse: I have 
 remembered the works of the Lord\, and called to mind Your wonders from of
  old.\n\nFirst Kneeling Prayer\n\nDeacon: Again and again on bended knee l
 et us pray to the Lord.\n\nAll: Lord\, have mercy.\n\nPriest: O Lord\, mos
 t pure\, incorruptible\, without beginning\, invisible\, incomprehensible\
 , unsearchable\, unchangeable\, unsurpassable\, immeasurable\, and forebea
 ring: You alone have immortality\; You live in unapproachable light\; You 
 made heaven and earth and the sea and all things created in them. You gran
 t to all their requests even before they ask. We pray to You\, and we bese
 ech You\, O Master who loves all mankind\, the Father of our Lord\, God\, 
 and Saviour\, Jesus Christ. For our sake and for the sake of our salvation
 \, He came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and Mary\
 , the ever-Virgin and the most glorious Godbearer. At first He taught us w
 ith words which were then later confirmed through deeds when He endured th
 e saving passion\, giving us\, Your humble\, sinful\, and unworthy servant
 s\, the example of offering supplications to You\, with necks bowed and on
  bended knees\, for our sins and for the people’s acts done in ignorance
 .\n\nHear us on whatever day we call upon You\, for You alone are most mer
 ciful and the Lover of Mankind! However\, especially hear us on this prese
 nt day of Pentecost on which\, after our Lord Jesus Christ had ascended in
 to heaven and was seated at Your right hand\, O God and Father\, He sent d
 own the Holy Spirit upon His holy disciples and apostles. The Holy Spirit 
 came upon each of them\, and filling all of them with His inexhaustible gr
 ace\, they spoke of Your grandeur in various tongues\, and they prophesied
 .\n\nNow\, therefore\, hear us who are praying to You\, and remember us\, 
 lowly and condemned as we are\, and return our souls from the captivity of
  sin\, for we have your loving-kindness interceding for us. Accept us who 
 fall down before You\, calling out: We have sinned! To You we have been co
 mmitted from birth. From our mother’s womb\, You are our God! But becaus
 e we have spent our days in vain endeavours\, we have been stripped of you
 r help\, having been deprived of every defence. But trusting in Your gener
 osities\, we cry out: Do not remember the sins of our youth and of our ign
 orance\, and cleanse us of our secret sins\; and do not reject us when we 
 become elderly\, when our strength weakens.\n\nDo not forsake us\, and do 
 not return us to the earth before You have made us worthy to return to You
 \, and until You have prepared us\, making us acceptable through grace. Ap
 praise our iniquities by Your generosities. Against the multitude of our t
 ransgressions\, place the abyss of Your generosities. O Lord\, look down f
 rom the heights of your holiness upon our people here present who are wait
 ing for abundant mercies from You. Visit us with Your goodness. Deliver us
  from the assaults of the Devil. Organize our life around Your holy and sa
 cred commandments. Assign to Your people an angel\, a faithful guardian. G
 ather all of us into Your kingdom. Grant forgiveness to those who put thei
 r trust in You\; pardon them and us from sins. Purify us by the operation 
 of Your Holy Spirit. Abolish the schemes of the Enemy plotted against us.\
 n\nBlessed are You\, O Lord\, Almighty Master\, who illuminates the day wi
 th the light of the sun and brightens the night with glowing flashes of li
 ght\, and who has enabled us to pass through the length of the day and to 
 draw near to the beginning of the night. Hear our petitions and those of a
 ll Your people\; and having forgiven all of our voluntary and involuntary 
 sins\, accept our evening prayers\, and send down the multitude of Your me
 rcies and Your generosities upon Your inheritance. Encompass us with Your 
 holy angels. Arm us with the armour of Your righteousness. Surround us wit
 h Your truth. Support us with Your power. Deliver us from every assault an
 d from every treacherous plot laid by the Adversary.\n\nAnd grant to us\, 
 through the prayers of the most holy Godbearer and of all the saints who h
 ave been well-pleasing to You from the beginning of time\, that this prese
 nt evening and the approaching night and all the days of our lives may be 
 perfect\, holy\, peaceful\, without sin\, without temptation\, and without
  idle dreams.\n\nFor it is You who shows mercy to us and saves us\, O Lord
  our God\, and we render glory to You\, Father\, Son\, and Holy Spirit\, n
 ow and forever and ever.\n\nAll: Amen.\n\nInsistent Litany\n\nSecond Kneel
 ing Prayer\n\nDeacon: Again and again on bended knee let us pray to the Lo
 rd.\n\nAll: Lord\, have mercy.\n\nPriest: O Lord Jesus Christ\, our God\, 
 You bestowed Your peace upon us and You granted us the gift of the Most Ho
 ly Spirit. And\, while still yet being present with us in this life\, You 
 continue to bestow upon the faithful this inheritance that can never be ta
 ken away. On this day\, in a vivid manner\, You sent down this grace upon 
 Your disciples and apostles\, confirming their lips with fiery tongues so 
 that\, through them\, we and the whole human race have received the knowle
 dge of God through our own ears in our own language. We have been enlighte
 ned by the light of the Spirit and have been delivered from error\, as tho
 ugh from darkness\, by the distribution of visible and fiery tongues. Thro
 ugh this mysterious action\, we have thereby been taught faith in You\; an
 d having been illuminated\, we bless You\, together with the Father and th
 e Holy Spirit\, as one Divinity and Power and Authority.\n\nYou are also t
 he Splendour of the Father\, the unchangeable and immutable Image of His e
 ssence and His nature\, and the Source of wisdom and grace. Open my sinful
  lips and teach me the manner in which and for what needs I should pray. F
 or You know the great multitude of my sins\, but their enormity can be van
 quished by your loving-kindness. For behold\, I stand before You with fear
 \, and I cast the despair of my soul into the depth of Your mercy. Guide m
 y life along Your ways\, for You govern all creation by a word with the in
 effable power of Your wisdom\; show me the way in which I should walk\, O 
 tranquil Haven of those who are turbulently perplexed. Grant the Spirit of
  Your wisdom to my deliberations\, giving the Spirit of understanding to m
 y ignorance. With the Spirit of Your fear\, overshadow my deeds and renew 
 a steadfast spirit deeply within me. And with Your Sovereign Spirit\, stab
 ilize the indecisiveness of my thoughts\, in order that being guided every
  day by Your gracious Spirit toward those things that are profitable for m
 e\, I may be deemed worthy to fulfil Your commandments. Let me be constant
 ly aware of Your coming in glory when You will judge our deeds. Protect me
  from the corrupting pleasures of this world\; strengthen me with the desi
 re to strive for the treasures of the world to come.\n\nFor You have said\
 , O Master\, that whatever anyone asks for in Your name\, it will be recei
 ved without hindrance from Your Father\, the co-eternal God. Therefore\, o
 n this feast of the descent of Your Holy Spirit\, I\, a sinner\, also entr
 eat Your goodness so that You would grant me whatever I have asked that is
  for salvation. Indeed\, O Lord\, You are the bounteous Giver of all benef
 its\; and You are a gracious provider who gives most abundantly those thin
 gs for which we ask. You are the Compassionate One and the Merciful One wh
 o sinlessly became a partaker of our flesh\; and unto those who bend their
  knees to You\, who became the purifier of our sins\, You extend your infi
 nite loving-kindness.\n\nO Lord\, grant then Your generosities to Your peo
 ple. Hear us from Your holy heaven. Sanctify us by the power of Your savin
 g right hand. Cover us beneath the shelter of Your wings\, and do not desp
 ise the works of Your hand. We have transgressed against You alone\; again
 st You only have we sinned\, but only You do we worship. We do not know ho
 w to worship a strange god\; neither do we stretch out our hands\, O Maste
 r\, to any other god. Pardon our transgressions and accept our prayers tha
 t we offer on bended knees. Extend the hand of Your help to all of us. Acc
 ept the prayer of all as if it were pleasant incense\, acceptable before Y
 our most gracious kingdom.\n\nLord\, O Lord\, who delivers us from every a
 rrow that flies by day\, deliver us from all things that walk in darkness.
  Accept the lifting up of our hands as an evening sacrifice. Deem us also 
 worthy to pass blamelessly through the course of the night\, untempted by 
 evil things\; and deliver us from every disturbance and apprehension that 
 comes to us from the Devil. Grant compunction to our souls\, and grant tha
 t we may meditate upon the trial at Your fearsome and righteous judgment. 
 Nail the fear of You to our flesh\, and mortify all of our earthy body mem
 bers so that during the quietness of sleep we may be enlightened with the 
 vision of Your judgments. Remove from us also every unseemly dream and det
 rimental carnal passion. Then raise us up again at the time for prayer\, f
 ortified in the faith and advancing in your commandments.\nThrough the ben
 evolence and the goodness of Your only- begotten Son\, with whom You are b
 lessed\, together with your all-holy\, gracious\, and life-creating Spirit
 \, now and forever and ever.\n\nAll: Amen.\n\nVouchsafe\, O Lord\n\nThird 
 Kneeling Prayer\n\nDeacon: Again and again on bended knee let us pray to t
 he Lord.\n\nAll: Lord\, have mercy.\n\nPriest: O ever-flowing\, living\, a
 nd enlightening Source\; O creative Power\, co-eternal with the Father\, w
 ho most marvellously fulfilled the entire plan concerning our salvation\; 
 O Christ our God\, who shattered the indissoluble bonds of Death and the b
 olts of Hades: You trampled upon a multitude of the evil spirits\, offerin
 g Yourself for us as a blameless Victim and giving Your most pure Body\, u
 ntouched and unapproachable by any sin\, as a sacrifice. And\, through thi
 s awesome and inscrutable sacred sacrifice\, You have given us eternal lif
 e. For by descending into Hades and smashing the eternal gates\, and havin
 g shown the way to heaven to those who were sitting in darkness\, You ensn
 ared the Prince of evil and the snake of the Abyss with divinely-wise enti
 cements. And You bound him with the chains of gloom by Your immeasurable p
 ower\, and You shackled him in Tartarus\, the deepest infernal region of H
 ades\, and through Your might confined him to the unquenchable fire and th
 e eternal darkness. Thus\, O greatly-eminent Wisdom of the Father\, You ma
 nifested Yourself as the great Helper of the misfortunate\, and You enligh
 tened those who were sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death.\n\nYo
 u\, O Lord of everlasting glory and beloved Son of the most high Father\; 
 O everlasting Light of the everlasting Light\; O Sun of righteousness: hea
 r us who are praying to You and grant repose to the souls of Your servants
 \, our ancestors\, our brothers and sisters who have already departed\; to
  all of our relatives\; and to all true members of the Faith\, for whom we
  now make a remembrance. For the authority of all things is with You\; and
  in Your hand\, You control all the ends of the earth.\n\nO almighty Maste
 r\, the God of our ancestors and the Lord of mercy\; O Creator of the race
  of mortals and of the immortals\, and of all human nature — that which 
 is still presently structured in the body and that which is\, likewise\, a
 lready released therefrom\; O Creator of life and of its termination\, of 
 that life of being transferred into another world: You measure out the yea
 rs for the living\, and You appoint the time of death. You lead people dow
 n into Hades\, binding them in impotency\, and afterwards You raise them u
 p\, releasing them in power. You order present necessities and expediently
  secure those needed for the future. To those who have been wounded by the
  sting of death\, You make them glad with the hope of resurrection.\n\nYou
  indeed are the Master of all\, O God our Saviour\, the Hope of all those 
 at the ends of the earth and of those far away at sea. On this last and gr
 eat salvific day of the feast of Holy Pentecost\, You showed us the myster
 y of the Holy Trinity\, consubstantial and co-eternal\, without division o
 r confusion\, and You also showed us the descent and arrival of Your holy 
 and life-creating Spirit being poured out in the form of fiery tongues on 
 Your holy apostles\, appointing them to be the proclaimers of the Good New
 s of our faith\, and showing them to be confessors and preachers of the tr
 ue\, divine teaching.\n\nAlso\, on this salvific feast on which everything
  was totally accomplished\, You deigned\, therefore\, to accept supplicati
 ons in behalf of those who are imprisoned in Hades\; and to those being he
 ld in bondage\, You promised great hopes for their release from the grievo
 us bonds constraining them by sending down Your consolation.\n\nHear us\, 
 your humble servants\, beseeching You\, and grant repose to the souls of Y
 our servants who have already departed into a place of light and a place o
 f refreshment and peace from which all illness\, sorrow\, and sighing have
  been taken away. Commit their souls to the places of the just\, and make 
 them worthy of peace and of repose. For the dead cannot praise You\, O Lor
 d\, nor do those in Hades venture to offer confession to You. But we\, the
  living\, bless You\, and we pray and offer You supplications and sacrific
 es for their souls.\n\nO great and eternal God\, who is holy and loves all
  people\; who has deigned us worthy at this hour to stand before Your unap
 proachable glory so that we might sing and praise Your wonders\; cleanse u
 s\, Your unworthy servants\, and grant us grace in order that with contrit
 e hearts\, we may without presumption offer to You the thrice-holy hymn of
  glorification and thanksgiving for Your great gifts that You have created
  for us and always produce for us.\n\nRemember\, O Lord\, our weakness\, a
 nd do not destroy us for our transgressions\; but because of our humility\
 , show us Your great mercy\, in order that fleeing from the darkness of si
 nfulness\, we may walk in the day of righteousness\; and having been cloth
 ed with the armour of light\, remaining unhindered by any spiteful intrigu
 e of the Evil One\, we may with confidence extol You in all things as the 
 only true God who loves all.\n\nFor Yours is indeed the great and veritabl
 e mystery\, O Master and Author of all -the temporary dissolution of Your 
 creatures\, and\, thereafter\, their reintegration and repose for all ages
 . In all things\, we acknowledge Your grace: for our entrance into this wo
 rld and for our leaving it\; likewise\, for our hopes of resurrection unto
  an imperishable life\, which You pledged by Your unfailing promises\, tha
 t we would receive in the future at Your Second Coming. You are the Beginn
 ing of our resurrection and the One who loves all people\; the impartial J
 udge of all who have lived\, and the Master and Lord of recompense.\n\nYou
  incorporated Yourself to us in the very same flesh and blood by Your extr
 eme condescension for our sake. Because of Your compassionate generosity\,
  You accepted our passions and through them\, by voluntarily enduring temp
 tation\, You became for us who are tempted the Helper that You Yourself pr
 omised to become. Therefore\, through this action\, You have given us the 
 example of controlling our passions.\n\nAccept\, then\, O Master\, our ent
 reaties and supplications\, and grant repose to all the fathers\, mothers\
 , children\, brothers\, and sisters of each of us\; to our relatives\; to 
 all the people in our country\; and to all those souls who have already de
 parted in the hope of resurrection and of eternal life.\n\nInscribe their 
 names in the Book of Life\, committing their spirits to the bosom of Abrah
 am\, Isaac\, and Jacob in the land of the living\, in the heavenly kingdom
 \, in the paradise of delights. With Your radiant angels\, guide all of th
 em into Your holy dwelling place. Together with them\, also raise up our b
 odies on the day that You have appointed according to Your holy and unfail
 ing vows. Therefore\, O Lord\, there is no death for Your servants when we
  depart from the body and return to You\, our God\, passing over from thin
 gs that are most sorrowful unto things that are most wholesome and delight
 ful\, and into repose and joyfulness.\n\nIf we have in any least way sinne
 d against You\, be merciful to us and also to them\, because there is no o
 ne who is pure from stain before You\, even if his life be for but a singl
 e day: You atone\, O Jesus Christ our Lord\, while on earth manifested You
 rself to be sinless. Through You\, we all trust in obtaining mercy and the
  remission of sins.\n\nFor this reason\, because You are a gracious and lo
 ving God\, pardon\, remit\, and forgive both us and them for having fallen
  into sin\, both voluntary and through human frailty\; those committed wil
 fully or through ignorance\; those that are evident and those that are unn
 oticed\; those committed whether in deed\, or through thought\, or by word
 \, or whether in any of our conversations and emotions.\n\nTo all those de
 parted who have preceded us\, grant freedom and pardon\; and bless us who 
 are still here present\, granting to us and to all Your people a gracious 
 and joyful end to our lives. Extend to us Your mercy and Your profound lov
 e at Your fearsome and dreadful coming in glory\, making us worthy of your
  kingdom.\n\nO great and most high God\, You alone have immortality\; You 
 live in unapproachable light\; You created all things in wisdom\, dividing
  the light from the darkness and placing the sun to rule the day and the m
 oon and the stars to rule the night. You have deemed us sinners worthy on 
 this present day to come before Your sight in confession and to offer You 
 our evening prayers. O Lord\, who loves all people\, let our prayer be dir
 ected like incense before You and accept it as a fragrant aroma. Grant tha
 t we may spend this present evening and the approaching night in peace. Cl
 othe us with the armour of light\; deliver us from the fears of the night 
 and from all things that walk in darkness. And grant that the sleep You ha
 ve given to refresh us from our fatigue might be free from every evil.\n\n
 Indeed\, O Master of all and gracious Provider\, may we be moved to compun
 ction on our beds and remember Your most holy name throughout the night\; 
 and being illuminated by the contemplation of Your commandments\, may we r
 ise up with joyfulness of soul to glorify with praise Your goodness\, offe
 ring prayers and supplications to Your loving-kindness for our sins as wel
 l as for those of all Your people whom You\, through the prayers of the mo
 st holy Godbearer\, visit with mercy.\n\nFor You are the repose of our sou
 ls and bodies\, and we render glory to You\, Father\, Son\, and Holy Spiri
 t\, now and forever and ever.\n\nAll: Amen.\n\nLitany of Supplication\n\nA

 the Holy Spirit\,* let us beseech Him to save our souls.\n\nDo not cast me
