Christ were gathered together, a Sound like the rush of a Mighty Wind was heard, which filled the house wherein they were. And they all began to speak strange words, strange Dogmas, strange Teachings of the Holy Trinity.

Praise Him with timbrel and dance; praise Him with strings and flute.

The Holy Spirit forever was and is and will be, never beginning, never ending, but forever ranked and numbered with the Father and the Son. It is Life and Life-giving, Light and Giver of Light; Goodness Itself and the Source of Goodness; through Whom the Father is known and the Son is Glorified, and by all is known the One Power, One Order, One Worship of the Holy Trinity.

Praise Him with tuneful cymbals; praise Him with loud cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

The Holy Spirit is Light and Life, and a Living Noetic Spring. Spirit of Wisdom, Spirit of Understanding; Good, Upright, Noetic, Ruling, purging offences; God and Deifying; He is Fire issuing from Fire, Uttering, Inciting, Distributing the Gifts of Grace. Through Him the Prophets and Apostles of God and the Martyrs were all crowned. Strange to hear, strange to behold: Fire distributed for the apportioning of Gifts.

> Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and to the Ages of ages.

For my transgressions rise up over my head - like a heavy burden they press me down.

My wounds grow foul and fester

because of My foolishness.

I suffer misery, and I am utterly bowed down – all day long I mourn, for my loins are filled with mockeries, and there is no healing in my flesh.

I am afflicted and great humbled; I roar because of the groaning of my heart.

O Lord, all my desire is before Thee and My sighing is not hidden from Thee.

My heart is troubled – my

strength fails me, and even the light of my eyes has failed me.

My friends and neighbours who

draw near stand against me, and my family stands afar off.

And those who seek my soul use violence, and those who seek evil for me speak foolishness, and they plan deception all day long.

I, like a deaf man, do not hear – and I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.

And I am like a man who does not hear and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

For in Thee, O Lord, I hope - Thou will hear, O Lord my God.

For I said: ‘Let not my enemies rejoice over me, for when my foot slips, they boasted against me.’

For I am ready for wounds, and my pain is continually with me, for I will declare my transgressions, by

O God my God: I rise early to be with Thee: my soul thirsts for Thee.

How often my flesh thirsts for Thee like a desolate, impassable and waterless land.

So in the Holy Place I appear before Thee, to behold Thy Power and Thy Glory.

Because Thy Mercy is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.

Thus will I Bless Thee in my life; in Thy Name I will lift up my hands.

As if with marrow and fatness may my soul be filled, and with rejoicing lips my mouth shall sing praises to Thy Name.

If I remember Thee on my bed, at daybreak I meditate on Thee; for Thou art my Helper, and in the Shelter of Thy Wings will I greatly rejoice.

My soul follows closely behind

Thee – Thy right Hand upholds me.

Yet those who seek my soul in vain, shall go into the lowest parts of the earth.

They shall be delivered to the sword - a portion for foxes.

Thou removed my acquaintances far from me; they made me an abomination among themselves – I was betrayed, and did not escape.

My eyes have weakened from

poverty. and I cry to Thee, O Lord - all day long I stretch out my hands to Thee.

Will Thou work Wonders for the

dead? Or will Physicians raise them up, and acknowledge Thee?

Shall anyone in the tomb describe Thy Mercy and Thy Truth in Destruction?

Shall Thy Wonders be known in Darkness, and Thy Righteousness in a Forgotten Land?

Yet I, O Lord, cry to Thee, and in the morning my Prayer shall come near to Thee.

Why, O Lord, dost Thou reject me

– hiding Thy Face from me?

Poor am I and in trouble since my youth; yet having been exalted, I was humbled and brought into despair.

Thy fierce Anger passed over me, and Thy Terrors greatly troubled me – they compass me like water all day long – they surround me all at once.

Thou removed far from me

neighbour, friend and my acquaintances because of my misery.

O Lord, God of my Salvation: I cry out day and night before Thee.

Let my Prayer come before Thee. Incline Thine Ear to my Supplication, O Lord.

The unison of instrumental music called people in trembling

Hannah the Propetess of old, drawn near with contrite spirit to the Mighty God of ntelligences, by her Prayer alone, undid the

bonds of the barren one’s womb,

and the hard rebuke of her with children.

O D E 4

Compassionate and Merciful is the Lord - slow to anger, and abounding in Mercy.

Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, for to Thee I flee for Refuge.

Teach me to do Thy Will, for Thou art my God.

Thy Good Spirit shall Guide me in Uprightness.

For Thy Name’s sake O Lord, grant me Life.

In Thy Righteousness Thou shall bring my soul out of affliction – and in Thy Mercy Thou shall destroy my enemies – and Thou shall utterly destroy all who afflict my soul, for I am Thy servant.

O Lord hear my Prayer; hear my Supplication in Thy Truth - answer me in Thy Righteousness.

And do not enter into Judgement with Thy servant, for in Thy Sight no-one living is Righteous.

Thy Good Spirit shall Guide me in Uprightness.

Then the Disciples were glad to see the Lord.

So Jesus said to them again: “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

And He breathed upon them, and said to them: “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve who was called “the Twin”3 was not with them when Jesus came.

The other Disciples therefore told him: “We have seen the Lord!”

So he said to them: “Unless I see in His Hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His Side, I will not believe.”

And after eight days His Disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them.

Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: “Peace to you!”

Then He said to Thomas: “Reach your finger here, and look at My Hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My Side, and do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

And Thomas answered and said to Him: “My Lord and my God!”

Jesus said to him: “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the Disciples were assembled for fear of the Judeans, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: “Peace be with you.”

And having said this, He showed them His Hands and His Side.
