Heavenly Mortals. They were

greatly honoured by Christ, the

Glorious King of all, the Lord

Who possesses Great Mercy. Thy Priests shall clothe themselves in Righteousness; Thy Saints shall greatly rejoice.

Are there any worthy Crowns of

Praise to lay on Johyn whose

words were golden, with his

fellow Basil and Gregory? For

they were the Spirit’s

Receptacles. And they were

the Faith’s strong Defenders;

the Pillars of the Church;

Believers’ firm support;

assuagement and also

Advocates for all who sin; the

wells effusing the water that

we draw and drink from and

are sweetened in our souls,

while earnestly praying for

forgiveness of sins and Great

Mercy.


Today the souls of those born on

earth are exalted from things

earthly. Today they become

Heavenly in the Memorial of

the Saints. For the Gates of

the Heavens are lifted up, and

the affairs of the Master are

made known to us. The words

proclaim the words, and the

tongues sing of the Miracles.

And we cry out to the Saviour:

Glory to Thee, O Christ our

God; for through them has

Peace been made among the

Faithful.

Now when Jesus Rose early on the

first day of the week, He

appeared first to Mary

Magdalene, out of whom He had

cast seven demons.

She went and told those who had been with Him, as they

mourned and wept.

And when they heard that He was

alive and had been seen by her,

they did not believe.

After that, He appeared in another

form to two of them as they

walked and went into the

country.

And they went and told it to the

rest, but they did not believe

them either.

Later He appeared to the Eleven as they sat at the table; and He

rebuked their unbelief and

hardness of heart, because they

did not believe those who had

seen Him after He had Risen.

And He said to them, “Go into all

the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He who believeth and is Baptised will be saved; but he who doth not believe will be condemned. And these Signs will follow those who believeth: In My Name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay

So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up

into Heaven, and sat down at

the right Hand of God.

And they went out and preached

everywhere, the Lord working

with them and confirming the

Word through the

accompanying Signs.

Amen.
