AT THE DIVINE LITURGY
Antiphon Prayer
O Christ God, You chose of your own free will to be raised on the Cross for the sake of
mankind. Have mercy on your people called after your name. Grant to the Church, your
Mystical Body, to rejoice in your might. Safeguard all the peoples that You reconciled by
your crucifixion. As for us, who have been sealed by the sign of your Cross, grant that we
may not be proud of anything but of your Cross, bearing at all time in our hearts and our
minds, the marks of your Holy Passion.
For You are our Light and our Sanctification, O Christ our God, and to You we render
glory, and to your Eternal Father, and your All-holy, Good and Life-giving Spirit, now
and always and forever and ever.

Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, Save us!

Epistle of the 3rd Sunday of Lent, Hebrews 4:14-5:6
Prokimenon (Tone 6)
-O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance!
- To you, O Lord, I have called: O my Rock, be not deaf to me!
Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Hebrews
Brethren, since we have a great high priest who has passed into the heavens, let us hold fast
out profession of faith. For we have not a high priest unable to pity our weaknesses, but one
tried as we are in all things, save sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with
confidence, so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in matters pertaining to
God, so that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to have compassion on the
ignorant and erring, because he himself also is beset with weakness, and therefore must make
offerings for sin in his own behalf as in behalf of the people. And no one invests himself
with this honor: only one who is called by God takes it, as Aaron was. So also Christ did not
glorify himself with the high priesthood, but glorified the One who had spoken to him, “You
are my son, I this day have begotten you (Ps. 2:7). “As he says also in another place, “You
are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedek
Alleluia (Tone 6)
Remember your congregation which you have acquired from the beginning: you redeemed
the scepter of your inheritance.
- God is our King forever: he brought about salvation in the midst of the earth.

Gospel of the 3rd Sunday of Lent, Mark 8: 34-9:1
(Taking up the daily cross)
The Lord said: “If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross and follow me. For anyone who would save his life will lose it; but anyone who
loses his life for my sake and for the sake of Good News will save it. For what does it
profit a man, if he gains the whole world, but suffers the loss of his own soul? Or what
will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words
in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when
he comes with the holy angels in the glory of his Father.” And he said to them, “Amen I
say to you, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death, till they have
seen the kingdom of God coming in power.”

well. O sanctified Temple, spiritual Paradise and glory of virgins from whom our God
who exists before all eternity, took flesh and became a little Child. He has taken your
womb as his throne making it more spacious than the heavens. Therefore O full of
grace, in you all creation rejoices. Glory to you!
