A Prayer for the beginning of the Holy and Great Fast
“Thy grace has shown forth, Lord, the grace which illumines our soul.
This is the acceptable time! This is the time of repentance! Let us lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armour of light, that passing through the Fast as through a great sea we may reach the Resurrection on the Third Day of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of our souls.”
[Great Vespers on Cheese Fare Sunday Evening, Aposticha, Tone 4, of the Holy Orthodox Church]
