Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
The fast, as taught by holy lore,
We keep in solemn course once more:
The fast to all men known, and bound
In forty days of yearly round.
The law and seers that were of old
In diverse ways this Lent foretold,
Which Christ, all seasons’ King and Guide,
In after ages sanctified.
More sparing therefore let us make
The words we speak, the food we take,
Our sleep and mirth, —and closer barred
Be every sense in holy guard.
Avoid the evil thoughts that roll
Like waters o’er the heedless soul;
Nor let the foe occasion find
Our souls in slavery to bind.
In prayer together let us fall,
And cry for mercy, one and all,
And weep before the Judge’s feet,
And his avenging wrath entreat.
Thy grace have we offended sore,
By sins, O God, which we deplore;
But pour upon us from on high,
O pardoning One, thy clemency.
Remember thou, though frail we be,
That yet thine handiwork are we;
Nor let the honour of thy name
Be by another put to shame.
Forgive the sin that we have wrought;
Increase the good that we have sought:
That we at length, our wanderings o'er,
May please thee here and evermore.
Grant O thou Blessed Trinity,
Grant, O Essential Unity,
That this our fast of forty days
May work our profit and thy praise.
Amen.

21:2 Deus, Deus meus, réspice in me: quare me dereliquísti? * longe a salúte mea verba delictórum meórum.
21:3 Deus meus, clamábo per diem, et non exáudies: * et nocte, et non ad insipiéntiam mihi.

Psalm 21 [2]
21:2 O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
21:3 O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: * and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
21:4 But thou dwellest in the holy place, * the praise of Israel.
21:5 In thee have our fathers hoped: * they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
21:6 They cried to thee, and they were saved: * they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
21:7 But I am a worm, and no man: * the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
21:8 All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: * they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
21:9 He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: * let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
21:10 For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: * my hope from the breasts of my mother. I was cast upon thee from the womb.
21:11 From my mother’s womb thou art my God, * depart not from me.
21:12 For tribulation is very near: * for there is none to help me.
21:13 Many calves have surrounded me: * fat bulls have besieged me.
21:14 They have opened their mouths against me, * as a lion ravening and roaring.
21:15 I am poured out like water; * and all my bones are scattered.
21:15 My heart is become like wax melting * in the midst of my bowels.
21:16 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: * and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
21:17 For many dogs have encompassed me: * the council of the malignant hath besieged me.
21:17 They have dug my hands and feet. * They have numbered all my bones.
21:18 And they have looked and stared upon me. * They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
21:20 But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; * look towards my defence.
21:21 Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: * my only one from the hand of the dog.
21:22 Save me from the lion’s mouth; * and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
21:23 I will declare thy name to my brethren: * in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
21:24 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: * all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
21:25 Let all the seed of Israel fear him: * because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man.
21:25 Neither hath he turned away his face from me: * and when I cried to him he heard me.
21:26 With thee is my praise in a great church: * I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
21:27 The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: * their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
21:28 All the ends of the earth * shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord:
21:28 And all the kindreds of the Gentiles * shall adore in his sight.
21:29 For the kingdom is the Lord’s; * and he shall have dominion over the nations.
21:30 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: * all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
21:31 And to him my soul shall live: * and my seed shall serve him.
21:32 There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: * and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

4 Cernens autem Dóminus quod pérgeret ad vidéndum, vocávit eum de médio rubi, et ait: Móyses, Móyses! Qui respóndit: Adsum.

Lesson from the book of Exodus
Exod 3:1-6
1 Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, Horeb.
2 And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire and was not burnt.
3 And Moses said: I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the Lord saw that he went forward to see, he called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said: Moses, Moses. And he answered: Here I am.
5 And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 And he said: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Moses hid his face: for he durst not look at God.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

26:9 Be thou my helper, * forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.

26:11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, * and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.

Ant. Deliver me * in Thy righteousness.
Psalm 30 [11]
30:2 In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: * deliver me in thy justice.
30:3 Bow down thy ear to me: * make haste to deliver me.
30:3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, * to save me.
30:4 For thou art my strength and my refuge; * and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
30:5 Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: * for thou art my protector.
30:6 Into thy hands I commend my spirit: * thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
30:7 Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, * to no purpose.
30:7 But I have hoped in the Lord: * I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy.
30:8 For thou hast regarded my humility, * thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
30:9 And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: * thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
30:10 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: * my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
30:11 For my life is wasted with grief: * and my years in sighs.
30:11 My strength is weakened through poverty * and my bones are disturbed.
30:12 I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; * and a fear to my acquaintance.
30:12 They that saw me without fled from me. * I am forgotten as one dead from the heart.
30:13 I am become as a vessel that is destroyed. * For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about.
30:14 While they assembled together against me, * they consulted to take away my life.
30:15 But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: * I said: Thou art my God. My lots are in thy hands.
30:16 Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; * and from them that persecute me
30:17 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy. * Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee.
30:18 Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. * Let deceitful lips be made dumb.
30:19 Which speak iniquity against the just, * with pride and abuse.
30:20 How great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, * which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee!
30:20 Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, * in the sight of the sons of men.
30:21 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, * from the disturbance of men.
30:21 Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle * from the contradiction of tongues.
30:22 Blessed be the Lord, * for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
30:23 But I said in the excess of my mind: * I am cast away from before thy eyes.
30:23 Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, * when I cried to thee.
30:24 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: * for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
30:25 Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, * all ye that hope in the Lord.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Homilia 1 de ieiúnio, ante med.
Móysen per ieiunium nóvimus in montem ascendísse: neque enim áliter ausus esset vérticem fumántem adire, atque in calíginem íngredi, nisi ieiúnio munítus. Per ieiunium mandáta digito Dei in tábulis conscripta suscépit. Item supra montem ieiunium legis latæ conciliator fuit: inférius vero, gula ad idololatríam pópulum dedúxit, ac contaminávit. Sedit, inquit, pópulus manducare et bíbere, et surrexérunt lúdere. Quadragínta diérum labórem ac perseverantiam, Dei servo continuo ieiunante ac orante, una tantum pópuli ebríetas cassam irritamque réddidit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

From the Sermons of St. Basil the Great, Archbishop (of Caesarea-in-Pontus.)
1st on Fasting
We know that it was with and by fasting that Moses went up into the Mount, for he had not dared to go up to that smoking summit, nor to have entered that darkness, except he had been made strong by a Fast. It was with fasting that he received the commandments, written by the finger of God upon tables of stone. Upon the mountain, that Fast made interest with Him Whose law was given unto it; but, below, gluttony was leading the people to the worship of idols and polluting them. It is written The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. Ex. xxxii. 6. That one fit of drunken frenzy, on the part of the people, made void and of none effect all the toil and patience of the forty days, during the which the servant of God had fasted and prayed unceasingly.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters.
* Thou led thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
℣. Thou broughtest them through the Red Sea, and led them through much water.
℟. Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Benedictio. Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ. Amen.

Quas enim tabulas Dei dígito conscriptas ieiunium accepit, has ebríetas contrívit: Prophéta sanctíssimo indignum existimante, vinoléntum pópulum a Deo legem accípere. Uno témporis momento ob gulam pópulus ille per maxima prodígia Dei cultum edoctus, in Ægyptíacam idololatríam turpíssime devolutus est. Ex quo si utrumque simul cónferas, vidére licet, ieiunium ad Deum ducere, delicias vero salútem pérdere.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Qui persequebántur pópulum tuum, Dómine, demersísti eos in profúndum:
* Et in colúmna nubis ductor eórum fuísti.
℣. Deduxísti sicut oves pópulum tuum in manu Móysi et Aaron.
℟. Et in colúmna nubis ductor eórum fuísti.

Benediction. May Christ to all His people give, for ever in His sight to live. Amen.
Reading 6
To the Fast had been given those tables of stone written on with the finger of God; the Feast's work was to break them, by the hand of the most holy prophet, who deemed a nation of drunkards a nation unmeet to receive law from God. In a moment of time, that people, who had by great wonders been taught to worship God, were, by gluttony, dropped back into the cesspool of Egyptian idolatry. The which things if thou wilt consider, thou shalt see that the tendency of fasting is to God-ward, and that that of feasting is to hell-ward.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O Lord, Thou hast overwhelmed in the deep of the sea them which persecuted thy people;
* Even thy people which Thou led in the pillar of the cloud.

Quid Esau inquinávit, servumque fratris réddidit? nonne esca una, propter quam primogenita vendidit? Samuelem vero nonne per ieiunium orátio largíta est matri?

What was it that degraded Esau, and made him a slave to his brother? Was it not that one dish of pottage for which he sold his birthright? Gen. xxv. 29-34. Was it not prayer when joined to fasting that gave Samuel to his mother? 1 Kings (Sam. i. 7, 19.) What made the mighty Samson invincible? Was it not the fast during the which he was conceived in his mother's womb? The fast it was which made him to be conceived; the fast, which fed him; the fast, which made a man of him, even as the Angel of the Lord commanded his mother, saying: She may not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink. Judges xiii. 14. Fasting is the mother of prophets, the strength and stay of mighty men.

Ieiunium legislatóres sapiéntes facit: ánimæ optima custódia, corporis socius securus, fortibus viris muniméntum et arma, athlétis et certántibus exercitátio. Hoc præterea tentatiónes propulsat, ad pietátem armat, cum sobrietáte hábitat, temperantiæ ópifex est: in bellis fortitúdinem affert, in pace quietem docet: nazaræum sanctificat, sacerdotem pérficit: neque enim fas est sine ieiúnio sacrifícium attíngere, non solum in mystica nunc et vera Dei adoratióne, sed nec in illa, in qua sacrifícium secúndum legem in figura offerebátur. Ieiunium Elíam magnæ visiónis spectatórem fecit: quadragínta namque diérum ieiúnio cum ánimam purgasset, in spelúnca meruit, quantum fas est homini, Deum vidére. Móyses íterum legem accípiens, íterum ieiunia secutus est. Ninivítæ, nisi cum illis et bruta ieiunassent, ruínæ minas nequáquam evasissent.

It is fasting which giveth wisdom to lawgivers; fasting which is the trustiest keeper of the soul, and the safest companion for the body. It is fasting which is strength and armour to mighty men; fasting which maketh supple them which run and which wrestle. It is fasting which maketh a man strong to strive against temptation, and which is to godliness as a fenced city; even fasting, whose fellow is soberness, and her work temperance. It is fasting which maketh men to I wax valiant in fight; fasting which teacheth to rest in time of peace. Fasting maketh a Nazarite to be holy, and a priest perfect. Without a fast it is unlawful to touch the Sacrifice, not only in that mystic and true worship of God which now is, but also according to the law, in those sacrifices which were offered of old time as figures of the true. It was fasting which opened the eyes of Elias to look upon the visions of God, even as it is written, that when he had fasted forty days and forty nights he was in the mount of God, even Horeb, and he was made able, so far as man may be made able, to see God. 3 Kings xix. seq. Even so also was Moses in that Mount forty days and forty nights, fasting, at what time he again received the Law. Ex. xxxiv. 28. Unless the Ninevites had fasted, both man and beast, herd and flock, they had not escaped from the ruin that hung over them. Jonah iii. 710. In the wilderness fell some and who were they? Yea, they were such as lusted after flesh meat. Num. xi. 33.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

14:18 If I go forth into the fields, behold the slain with the sword: * and if I enter into the city, behold them that are consumed with famine.

14:20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, * the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

Tract. 24 in Ioannem
Mirácula, quæ fecit Dóminus noster Iesus Christus, sunt quidem divína ópera, et ad intellegéndum Deum de visibílibus ádmonent humánam méntem. Quia enim ille non est talis substántia, quæ vidéri óculis possit; et mirácula eius, quibus totum mundum regit, universámque creatúram adminístrat, assiduitáte viluérunt, ita ut pene nemo dignétur atténdere ópera Dei mira et stupénda in quólibet séminis grano: secúndum ipsam suam misericórdiam, servávit sibi quædam, quæ fáceret opportúno témpore præter usitátum cursum ordinémque natúræ; ut non maióra, sed insólita vidéndo stupérent, quibus cotidiána vilúerant.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 6:1-15
In that time, Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
24th Tract on John
The miracles which our Lord Jesus Christ did were the very works of God, and they enlighten the mind of man by mean of things which are seen, that he may know more of God. God is Himself of such a Substance as eye cannot see, and the miracles, by the which He ruleth the whole world continually, and satisfieth the need of everything that He hath made, are by use become so common, that scarce any will vouchsafe to see that there are wonderful and amazing works of God in every grain of seed of grass. According to His mercy He kept some works to be done in their due season, but out of the common course and order of nature, that men might see them and be astonished, not because they are greater, but because they are rarer than those which they lightly esteem, since they see them day by day.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. After that the Lord had looked upon him, the face of Moses shone.
* And when the elders saw that his face shone, they marvelled and were sore afraid.
℣. And when he came down from Mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in his hand, he wist not that his face shone, because that God had spoken with him.
℟. And when the elders saw that his face shone, they marvelled and were sore afraid.

Maius enim miraculum est gubernátio totius mundi, quam saturátio quinque millium hóminum de quinque pánibus. Et tamen hoc nemo mirátur: illud mirántur hómines, non quia maius est, sed quia rárum est. Quis enim et nunc pascit univérsum mundum, nisi ille, qui de paucis granis ségetes creat?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Or it is a greater miracle to govern the whole universe, than to satisfy five thousand men with five loaves of bread; and yet no man marvelleth at it. At the feeding of the five thousand, men marvel, not because it is a greater miracle than the other, but because it is rarer. For Who is He Who now feedeth the whole world, but He Who, from a little grain that is sown, maketh the fulness of the harvest?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Behold, I send My Angel before thee, to keep thee.
* Beware, and obey My voice; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries; for Mine Angel shall go before thee.
℣. O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto Me, there shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any strange god, for I am the Lord.

God worketh in both cases in one and the same manner. He Who of the sowing maketh to come the harvest, is He Who of the five barley loaves in His Hands made bread to feed five thousand men; for Christ's are the Hands which are able to do both the one and the other. He Who multiplieth the grains of corn multiplied the loaves, only not by committing them to the earth whereof He is the Maker.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Hoc ergo admótum est sensibus, quo erigerétur mens: et exhíbitum óculis, ubi exercerétur intelléctus: ut invisibilem Deum per visibília ópera mirarémur, et erécti ad fidem, et purgáti per fidem, étiam ipsum invisibilem vidére cuperemus, quem de rebus visibílibus invisibilem nosceremus. Nec tamen sufficit hæc intuéri in miraculis Christi. Interrogémus ipsa miracula, quid nobis loquántur de Christo: habent enim, si intelligántur, linguam suam.

Reading 12
This miracle, then, is brought to bear upon our bodies, that our souls may thereby be quickened; shown to our eyes, to give food to our understanding; that, through His works which we see, we may marvel at that God Whom we cannot see, and, being roused up to believe, and purified by believing, we may long to see Him, yea, may know by things which are seen Him Who is Unseen. Nor yet sufficeth it for us to see only this meaning in Christ's miracles. Let us ask of the miracles themselves what they have to tell us concerning Christ for, soothly, they have a tongue of their own, if only we will understand it. For, because Christ is the Word of God, therefore the work of the Word is a Word for us.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I, even I, the Lord, have led you forty years in the wilderness, and your clothes are not waxen old upon you.
* I rained down manna upon you from heaven, and ye have forgotten Me, saith the Lord.
℣. I led you forth out of the land of Egypt, and delivered you from the house of bondage.
℟. I rained down manna upon you from heaven, and ye have forgotten Me, saith the Lord.

℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
In illo témpore: Abiit Iesus trans mare Galilǽæ, quod est Tiberíadis: et sequebátur eum multitúdo magna, quia vidébant signa, quæ faciébat super his, qui infirmabántur. Súbiit ergo in montem Iesus: et ibi sedébat cum discípulis suis. Erat autem próximum Pascha, dies festus Iudæórum. Cum sublevásset ergo óculos Iesus et vidísset, quia multitúdo máxima venit ad eum, dixit ad Philíppum: Unde emémus panes, ut mandúcent hi? Hoc autem dicébat tentans eum: ipse enim sciébat, quid esset factúrus. Respóndit ei Philíppus: Ducentórum denariórum panes non suffíciunt eis, ut unusquísque módicum quid accípiat. Dicit ei unus ex discípulis eius, Andréas, frater Simónis Petri: Est puer unus hic, qui habet quinque panes hordeáceos et duos pisces: sed hæc quid sunt inter tantos? Dixit ergo Iesus: Fácite hómines discúmbere. Erat autem fænum multum in loco. Discubuérunt ergo viri, número quasi quinque míllia. Accépit ergo Iesus panes, et cum grátias egísset, distríbuit discumbéntibus: simíliter et ex píscibus, quantum volébant. Ut autem impléti sunt, dixit discípulis suis: Collígite quæ superavérunt fragménta, ne péreant. Collegérunt ergo, et implevérunt duódecim cóphinos fragmentórum ex quinque pánibus hordeáceis, quæ superfuérunt his, qui manducáverant. Illi ergo hómines cum vidíssent, quod Iesus fécerat signum, dicébant: Quia hic est vere Prophéta, qui ventúrus est in mundum. Iesus ergo cum cognovísset, quia ventúri essent, ut ráperent eum et fácerent eum regem, fugit íterum in montem ipse solus.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 6:1-15
℟. Glory be to you, O Lord.
At that time, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. And there followed Him a great crowd, because they witnessed the signs He worked on those who were sick. Jesus therefore went up the mountain, and sat there with His disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. When, therefore, Jesus had lifted up His eyes and seen that a very great crowd had come to Him, He said to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? But He said this to try him, for He Himself knew what He would do. Philip answered Him, Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each one may receive a little. One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Him, There is a young boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these among so many? Jesus then said, Make the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore reclined, in number about five thousand. Jesus then took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, distributed them to those reclining; and likewise the fishes, as much as they wished. But when they were filled, He said to His disciples, Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be wasted. They therefore gathered them up; and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. When the people, therefore, had seen the sign which Jesus had worked, they said, This is indeed the Prophet Who is to come into the world. So when Jesus perceived that they would come to take Him by force and make Him king He fled again to the mountain, Himself alone.
℟. Amen
Thou art worthy of praise, thou art worthy of hymns, to Thee be glory: to God the Father and the Son with the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
