DESCRIPTION:VESPERS ON SUNDAY EVENING\n\nKathisma Reading\n\nThere are no a
 ppointed psalms to be chanted tonight.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 2\n\nIf You
  mark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness is that
  You may be revered.\n\nО supremely good Father\, Son and Word of the Fat
 her\, and Holy Spirit\, uncreated Essence\,* who are possessed of a wellsp
 ring of tender compassion and pour forth depths of mercy:* accept our supp
 lication and prayer\,* granting forgiveness to all amid their transgressio
 ns\,* in that You are compassionate and the Lover of mankind.\n\nI have wa
 ited for You as You have commanded\; my soul patiently relies on Your prom
 ise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\n\nAs You are God\, You are by natu
 re wholly compassionate\, merciful\, and good\;* therefore\, we beseech Yo
 u\, О Christ our Saviour\,* and falling down before You\, we cry\, ever c
 alling out to You:* Grant to Your servants remission of their many transgr
 essions* and forgiveness of every thing wherein they have committed offens
 es\,* in that You are the compassionate God and the Lover of mankind.\n\nF
 rom the morning watch until night* let Israel trust in the Lord.\n\nDesiri
 ng to save all for whose sake You had become a man\, О Saviour\,* as God 
 You manifested Yourself as a man.* Save us who bow down before Your comman
 dments\,* for You did not come to save the righteous\,* but through the gr
 ace of divine baptism* to loose us who are bound by many sins in the chain
 s of our transgressions\, О Lover of mankind\,* in that You are compassio
 nate and the Lover of mankind.\n\nTone 4\n\nFor with the Lord there is mer
 cy\, and with Him there is plentiful redemption\;* and He shall redeem Isr
 ael from all its iniquities.\n\nAs the namesake of joy you have passed ove
 r with joy* to the heavenly bridal-chamber\, O most honoured one\,* where\
 , having truly endured the painful torment of fire* and the uprooting of a
 ll your teeth and nails\,* you desired to acquire Your dwelling-place\, O 
 athlete Charitina\,* much suffering virgin martyr.\n\nPraise the Lord\, al
 l the nations\;* proclaim His glory\, all you people.\n\nYou broke the jaw
 s of the lions\, O much suffering one\,* enduring the breaking of your own
  jaw\,* and you bore valiantly bear the rending away of your nails\,* upro
 oting the cruel savagery of deception\;* and\, cast into the depths of the
  sea\,* you drowned the malice of the wicked adversary.\n\nStrong is the l
 ove of the Lord for us\;* eternally will His truth endure.\n\nAfter your b
 lessed end\, your father received you\, O glorious one\,* who had been cas
 t into the sea\;* and he cried out in awe:* What grace has been bestowed u
 pon you\, O my most sacred and beloved child\,* through the torments of yo
 ur honoured suffering!* Truly you have justified your name\, which signifi
 es grace!\n\nTone 4\, Glory… Now…\n\nWith the showers of the all-holy 
 Spirit* bedew my mind\, O all-pure one who ineffably gave birth to Christ\
 ,* the Dew-drop who by His compassions washes away the countless iniquitie
 s of men\;* and by your supplications dry up the wellspring of my sufferin
 gs* and ever vouchsafe to me a torrent of living nourishment.\n\nProkeimen
 on\, Tone 8\n\nAnd now bless the Lord\,* all you servants of the Lord.\n\n
 verse: Who stand in the temple of the Lord\, in the courtyards of the hous
 e of our God.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 2\n\nLike the prodigal son I have sinne
 d against You\, О Saviour.* Accept me who am penitent\, О Father.* Have 
 mercy on me\, О God!\n\nI have lifted up my eyes to You enthroned in heav
 en. Behold\, as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters\, a
 s the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress\, so are our eyes on
  the Lord our God until He has mercy on us.\n\nWith the cry of the publica
 n I cry out to You\, О Christ my Saviour:* Cleanse me as You did him\,* a
 nd have mercy on me\, О God!\n\nHave mercy on us\, O Lord\, have mercy on
  us\; for we have been filled with shame\; our soul is all too full of the
  mockery of the rich\, of the contempt of the proud.\n\nHaving hated the p
 leasures of the earth\,* the passion-bearers were granted the good things 
 of heaven* and became fellow citizens with the angels.* By their supplicat
 ions\, О Lord\, have mercy and save us.\n\nTone 2\, Glory… Now…\n\nRe
 joice\, O Theotokos Mary\,* indestructible and surpassingly holy temple\;*
  as the prophet cries out:* Holy is your temple\, wondrous in righteousnes
 s!\n\nTroparia\n\nTone 4\n\nYour lamb\, Charitina\, O Jesus\, cries in a l
 oud voice:* “You\, O my Bridegroom\, I love\; and\, seeking You\, I unde
 rgo martyrdom.* And with You I am crucified and buried in Your baptism\,* 
 and I suffer for Your sake that I may reign with You.* And I die on Your b
 ehalf that I may live in You.* Receive me as a spotless sacrifice\,* sacri
 ficed for You with love.”* Through her intercession in Your mercy save o
 ur souls.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nTo the One who was reared in the Temple\,*
  close to the Holy of Holies\,* and who was full of faith\, wisdom\, and p
 erfect virginity\,* Gabriel\, the captain and leader\,* offered esteem and
  greetings from heaven when he said:* Rejoice\, O blessed One! Rejoice\, O
  glorified One!* The Lord is with you.\n\nAT DIVINE LITURGY ON MONDAY MORN
