Open the eyes of our mind to the understanding of Thy gospel teachings. Implant also in us the fear of Thy blessed commandments, that trampling down all carnal desires, we may enter upon a spiritual manner of living, both thinking and doing such things as are well-pleasing unto Thee. For Thou art the illumination of our souls and bodies, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, Who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages, Amen. scripture readings: https://oca.org/readings/daily/2019/04/26 John 13:31-18:1 John 18:1-28 Matthew 26:57-75 John 18:28-19:16 Matthew 27:3-32 Mark 15:16-32 Matthew 27:33-54 Luke 23:32-49 John 19:25-37 Mark 15:43-47 John 19:38-42 Matthew 27:62-66 Zechariah 11:10-13 Galatians 6:14-18 Matthew 27:1-56 Isaiah 50:4-11 Romans 5:6-11 Mark 15:16-41 Isaiah 52:13-54:1 Amos 8:9-12 Hebrews 2:11-18 Luke 23:32-49 Jeremiah 11:18-12:5, 9:11, 14-15 Hebrews 10:19-31 John 18:28-19:37 Exodus 33:11-23 Job 42:12-17 LXX Isaiah 52:13-54:1 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:2 Matt. 27:1-38; Luke 23:39-43; Matt. 27:39-54; John 19:31-37; Matt. 27:55-61 Bridegroom Troparion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j589pcbWXsg&feature=youtu.be
