Vigil Divine Liturgy, October 4, 2020 Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost

The Holy Martyr Hierotheus, Bishop of Athens. He was a friend of Denis the Areopagite (whose feast is celebrated on October 3), and was converted by the Apostle Paul a little after his friend. Paul later made him the bishop of Athens. Tradition tells us that Hierotheus assembled in Jerusalem with the Apostles for the Dormition of the Theotokos. He was martyred in Athens.

O Lord, set a guard before my mouth and set a seal on the door of my lips.

Let not my heart be inclined to evil, nor make excuses for sins I commit.

Let me never share in sinners' feasting. If a just man strikes or reproves me it is kindness

but let the oil of the wicked not anoint my head. Let my prayer be ever against their malice.

The princes were thrown down by the side of the rock; then they understood that my words were kind.

As a millstone is shattered to pieces on the ground, so their bones were strewn at the mouth of the grave. To you, Lord God, my eyes are turned; in you I take refuge; spare my soul!

From the trap they have laid for me keep me safe; keep me from the snares of those who do evil.

Let the wicked fall into the traps they have set while I pursue my way unharmed.

Psalm 141 With all my voice I cry to the Lord, with all my voice I entreat the Lord.

I pour out my trouble before him; I tell him all my distress while my spirit faints within me.

But you, O Lord, know my path. On the way where I shall walk they have hidden a snare to entrap me.

Look on my right and see: there is no one who takes my part.

I have no means of escape, not one who cares for my soul.

I cry to you, O Lord. I have said: "You are my refuge, all I have in the land of the living."

Listen, then, to my cry for I am in the depths of distress.

Rescue me from those who pursue me for they are stronger than I. Cantor: (Tone 1 samohlasen) Bring my soul out of this prison (on 10) and then I shall praise your name. 10 # & œ œ ˙ œ œ œ œ œ ˙ ˙ œ œ œ œ ˙ œ œ ˙ Ac- cept our eve- ning pray'rs, O ho- ly Lord˙ and grant us for-- give ness of sins. # & œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ ˙ - loneayouFor man - ifestedWœ res œ recur --- tion theto œ #œ world.w
