Sunday Services. Great Vespers, Small Compline, Midnight Office, Matins
29.99 €
The collection "Sunday Services" is intended for prayerful reading of the Sunday liturgical sequences in the silence of a cellular retreat. It is introduced by chapter 7 of the Typikon, which explains how "in small monasteries and parish churches on weekdays the Great Vespers and Matins are sung in due season. These few pages will give us an opportunity to remember our presence at the Sunday service in the temple and help us to gather inwardly for prayer.
The collection then presents in sequence the texts of all the chants and readings of the Sunday afternoon service, collected in two main sections: "Sequences of the Chasoslov Chosen Hours" - unchanged prayers; "Sunday Octoich" - prayers by voices. The texts are accompanied by statutory explanations and cross-references. The "Appendix" contains the Sunday Gospel readings and the Exapostylary, as well as a section with the Sunday Matins catavasia, changed during the church year, compiled in accordance with Chapter 19 of the Typikon.
Two bookmarks - a yellow one in the section from the Book of Hours and a red one in the section from the Octoechos - which can be rearranged as the service is read, will help not to be distracted by searching for the necessary texts; for the same purpose, many of the hymns repeated at Vespers, Vespers, midnight and Matins are printed in a row, without abbreviations.
