Antiphon Prayer
Celebrant: O Creator of the universe, You fashioned Adam from the dust
of the earth. You infused him with a breath of life. You gave him dominion over the earth. By the enticement of the Serpent he rebelled against
Your Commandments and fell. You therefore exiled him from Paradise.
But your Only-begotten Son was incarnate, endured Passion and restored
us to the Garden of Eden which we had lost. We therefore implore You,
at the threshold of Holy and Great Lent, to make us worthy of a sincere
repentance, so that we may avoid even the resemblance of evil and abstain from carnal pleasure in order to gain You, Divine River of Paradise
that quenches the thirst of our souls. Thus, having lived according to your
commandments, we may share the glory of the Resurrection of Christ, our
God and Saviour. For You are long-suffering, most compassionate and
You call all people to salvation; and to You we render glory, honour and
worship, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and always and forever and
ever. Amen.

A Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans (13/11- 14/4)
Brethren, now our salvation is nearer than when we came to believe. The
night is far advanced: the day is at hand. Let us therefore lay aside the works
of darkness, and put on the armor of light. Let us walk becomingly as in daytime, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in debauchery and wantonness, not
in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and as for the flesh,
pay no attention to its lusts. But whoever is weak in faith, receive him
without arguing about opinions. For one believe he may eat all things –
but another who is weak, let him eat vegetables. Let not the one who eats
despise the one who does not ; and let not the one who does not eat judge
the one who does, for God has received him. Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls- but he will stand,
for God is able to make him stand.
In you, O Lord, I have hoped: Let me never be put to shame.
In your justice, save me and deliver me.
Be for me a protecting God, A sheltering house to save me.

The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew the Evangelist (6: 14-21))
The Lord said, “If you forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive you your offences. And when you fast, do
not look gloomy like the hypocrites, who disfigure their faces in order to
appear to men as fasting. Amen I say to you, they have had their reward.
But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you
may not be seen by men to fast, but by your Father, who is in secret; and
your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where worm and rodent consume, and where
thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither worm nor rodent consumes, nor thieves break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there also will be your heart”.
