DESCRIPTION:Apostle’s Fast\n\nAT VESPERS ON FRIDAY EVENING\n\nKathisma Re
 ading\n\nThere are no appointed psalms to be chanted tonight.\n\nAt Psalm 
 140\n\nTone 4\n\nIf You mark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with 
 You forgiveness is that You may be revered.\n\nWe celebrate your holy memo
 ry\, passion-bearing martyr\,* knowing you to be an incorrupt bride adorne
 d by the Holy Spirit!* We bow down in faith before your relics* and ever r
 eceive healing for our passions* as we honour you in confidence\, most pra
 ised Aquilina.\n\nI have waited for You as You have commanded\; my soul pa
 tiently relies on Your promise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\n\nYou o
 ffered the severing of your limbs as a gift to your Bridegroom!* Therefore
 \, most honoured one\, * He counted you worthy of the all brilliant bridal
  chambers.* The transcendent One enlightens you with divine glory.* You st
 and before Him\, rejoicing\, Aquilina!* Earnestly pray to Him on behalf of
  us* who glorify your suffering with faith.\n\nFrom the morning watch unti
 l night* let Israel trust in the Lord.\n\nYou were inspired by God\, Aquil
 ina\,* and held fast by the desire of your Creator.* You showed His suffer
 ing with your own flesh\, all-praised one\,* enduring each triple wave of 
 pain!* Now as you live in the heavens\,* wearing a crown that does not per
 ish\,* your glory is immune to pain!* And you look upon what the ranks of 
 angels see!\n\nTone 1\n\nFor with the Lord there is mercy\, and with Him t
 here is plentiful redemption\;* and He shall redeem Israel from all its in
 iquities.\n\nThe triumphal solemnity of the martyrs* drowned a multitude o
 f the demons in the streams of their blood\,* caused all the abominable sa
 crifices to cease\,* and set at naught the deception of the idols\, for th
 ey suffered patiently.* And they now entreat Christ to grant our souls* pe
 ace and great mercy.\n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nations\;* proclaim His 
 glory\, all you people.\n\nWith wise words and doctrines the most sacred p
 astors* taught all to glorify the threefold Godhead in Unity\,* divinely a
 voiding the commingling and division of Its Hypostases\;* and they now pra
 y that peace and great mercy* be granted our souls.\n\nStrong is the love 
 of the Lord for us\;* eternally will His truth endure.\n\nThe company of t
 he venerable lulled carnal desires to sleep* and restrained their onslaugh
 ts\, showing their life to be angelic\;* wherefore\, they now join chorus 
 in the habitations of heaven\,* entreating Christ to grant our souls* peac
 e and great mercy.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nLet us sing a hymn of praise to t
 he Virgin Mary\,* glory of the whole world!* She was herself formed by hum
 an seed\,* yet she became the Mother of the Master\, the Gate of heaven\,*
  the theme of the angels’ hymn and beauty of the faithful.* She was seen
  as being heavenly* and the Tabernacle of the Godhead.* She indeed tore do
 wn the wall of enmity between God and man\,* and brought peace in its plac
 e.* She opened up the kingdom of heaven.* Let us therefore cling fast to h
 er for she is the anchor of faith\,* and let us receive as our stronghold 
 the Lord Who was born of her.* Be of good cheer\, then\, and have confiden
 ce\, O people of God\,* for He will fight our enemies for us\,* He is all-
 powerful!\n\nProkeimenon\, Tone 7\n\nO God\, You are my defender* and Your
  mercy goes before me.\n\nverse: Deliver me from my enemies\, O God\; save
  me from those who rise up against me.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 1\n\nO all-pra
 ised martyrs\, you were not buried in the earth\,* yet heaven has received
  you\;* the gates of Paradise were opened to you\,* and entering within yo
 u have partaken of the tree of life.* Pray to Christ that He grant peace* 
 and great mercy to our souls.\n\nBlessed are they whom You have chosen* an
 d taken to Yourself\, О Lord.\n\nWhat pleasure in this life remains unmar
 ked by sorrow?* What glory can endure upon this earth unchanged?* All is f
 eebler than a shadow\,* more deceptive than a dream\;* for death in a sing
 le moment takes away all things.* But in the light of Your countenance\, O
  Christ\,* and in the joy of Your beauty\,* grant rest to those whom You h
 ave chosen\,* for You are the Lover of mankind.\n\nTheir souls shall dwell
 * amid good things.\n\nNo man is free from sin\,* none save You\, who alon
 e art immortal.* Therefore\, O compassionate God\,* grant to Your servants
  a dwelling-place in the Light\,* with the choirs of Your angels.* In Your
  loving-kindness overlook their transgressions\,* and grant them forgivene
 ss.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nTruly wondrous beyond understanding* are the mig
 hty works of your birthgiving\, O Bride of God\,* of which all the prophet
 s proclaimed\,* and your conception and birth giving are most glorious\, O
  all-hymned one\,* whereby your Offspring has incomprehensibly and ineffab
 ly saved the world\,* in that He is merciful.\n\nTroparion\, Tone 4\n\nYou
 r lamb\, Aquilina\, O Jesus\, cries in a loud voice:* “You\, O my Brideg
 room\, I love\; and\, seeking You\, I undergo martyrdom.* And with You I a
 m crucified and buried in Your baptism\,* and I suffer for Your sake that 
 I may reign with You.* And I die on Your behalf that I may live in You.* R
 eceive me as a spotless sacrifice\,* sacrificed for You with love.”* Thr
 ough her intercession in Your mercy save our souls.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\n
 O Mother of God\, the mystery hidden from all eternity* and unknown even t
 o the angels\,* was revealed through you to those on earth:* God took on o
 ur human nature* and united it to His divine nature in a perfect but uncon
 fused union.* Then\, He willingly accepted the cross for our sake* and the
 reby raised again the first created\,* and saved our souls from death.\n\n
