DESCRIPTION:VESPERS ON MONDAY EVENING\n\nKathisma Reading\n\nThe appointed 
 psalms are chanted.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 5\, Podoben “Rejoice…”\n
 \nIf You mark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness
  is that You may be revered.\n\nWoe to me who have angered You\, my mercif
 ul God and Lord!* How many times have I promised to repent\, О Christ\,* 
 and have been found to be a senseless liar?* I have soiled my first baptis
 mal raiment\, and have forsaken my covenant with You\,* and this second co
 mmandment\, which I confessed before You in the presence of men and angels
 \,* have I also abandoned\, clad in a lamentable form.* Setting this aside
 \, О Saviour\, leave me not to perish utterly.\n\nI have waited for You a
 s You have commanded\; my soul patiently relies on Your promise\,* for it 
 has trusted in the Lord.\n\nWhat answer shalt you find on the day of judgm
 ent\, О wretched soul?* Who will deliver you from condemnation to everlas
 ting fire and other torments?* No one\, if you yourself do not placate the
  Compassionate One\,* forsaking your evil deeds and acquiring a right plea
 sing life\,* every day weeping over your countless transgressions\,* which
  you commit at every hour in deed\, word\, and thought\,* and beseeching C
 hrist to grant you the complete forgiveness of them.\n\nFrom the morning w
 atch until night* let Israel trust in the Lord.\n\nLet sinful habit not se
 ize me\, dragging me down\, О Saviour\,* nor let the demon\, which ever w
 ages war on me and subjects me to his will\, gain dominance over me\;* but
  rescue me from his dominion with Your mighty hand\,* О Almighty One who 
 loves mankind\, and reign within me.* Grant that I may be wholly Yours\,* 
 and living according to Your will\, О Word\, may find rest in You\,* and 
 cleansing\, salvation\, and great mercy for myself.\n\nTone 8\n\nFor with 
 the Lord there is mercy\, and with Him there is plentiful redemption\;* an
 d He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.\n\nO wondrous sufferer N
 estor\,* you arrayed yourself in all the armour of Christ\;* and\, locked 
 in mortal combat with Lyaeus\, you destroyed him\,* and with invisible arr
 ows you brought down the invisible Belial and slayed him.* Therefore\, the
  Bountiful One has crowned you with a wreath of victory.\n\nPraise the Lor
 d\, all the nations\;* proclaim His glory\, all you people.\n\nStrengthene
 d with divine words\, O wise Nestor\,* with true courage you slayed the pr
 oud tormentor of the martyr\, Demetrius\;* and confessing the immortal God
  who died and harrowed hell\,* you received an unjust death\, O glorious o
 ne.* Rejoicing\, you have inherited life everlasting.\n\nStrong is the lov
 e of the Lord for us\;* eternally will His truth endure.\n\nYou were a god
 ly youth\, shining forth in comeliness of body* and adorned with grace div
 ine\, O wise one\, and invested with power.* Having cast down the power of
  Lyaeus by the power of the Almighty\,* you suffered\, rejoicing\, and hav
 e been numbered among the choirs of sufferers.* Rejoicing with them\, reme
 mber us.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nWe entreat you\, our intercessor\, O all-pu
 re one:* Do not overlook us\, your servants\,* who are troubled amid grief
 \, that we utterly perish\;* but make haste to remove us from this present
  wrath and grief\,* O divinely joyous\, all-holy and pure one\,* for you a
 re our rampart  and our unassailable assistance.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 5\n
 \nO Lord\, I cease not to sin\,* nor do I perceive Your love for mankind w
 hich You have granted me.* Vanquish my lack of discernment\, O You who alo
 ne are good\,* and have mercy upon me.\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 maid are on the hands of her mistress\, s
 o are our eyes on the Lord our God until He has mercy on us.\n\nO Lord\, f
 rom reverent fear of You I tremble\,* yet I cease not from committing sins
 .* Who\, when called to trial\, does not fear the judge?* Or who\, desirin
 g to be healed\, angers the physician\, as I do?* O longsuffering Lord\, h
 ave compassion upon my weakness\,* and have mercy upon me.\n\nHave mercy o
 n us\, O Lord\, have mercy on us\; for we have been filled with shame\; ou
 r soul is all too full of the mockery of the rich\, of the contempt of the
  proud.\n\nHaving put on the breastplate of faith and armed themselves wit
 h the image of the Cross\,* Your saints\, О Lord\, manfully gave themselv
 es over to torments* and cast down the pride and deception of the devil.* 
 As God almighty\, send down peace upon the world through their entreaties\
 ,* and great mercy upon our souls.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nAssuage the suffe
 rings of my much-sighing soul\,* O you that wipe every tear from the face 
 of the earth\;* for you banish the sufferings of mankind\,* and dispel the
  sorrows of the sinful.* For in you do we all have our hope and confirmati
 on\,* O most holy Virgin Mother.\n\nTroparia\n\nTone 4\n\nYour martyr\, Ne
 stor\, O Lord\,* by his passion acquired the crown of incorruptibility fro
 m You\, our God.* For possessing Your power he overcame the torturers* and
  shattered the feeble insolence of demons.* By his supplications\, save ou
 r souls.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nLet us poor sinners hasten with fervour to 
 the Mother of God\;* let us humbly kneel before her and say from the depth
  of our hearts:* O Lady\, be kind to us and help us.* Hasten\, for we are 
 perishing under a multitude of sins.* Do not turn away your servants empty
 -handed\,* for you are their only hope and protection.\n\nAT DIVINE LITURG
