O Lord Jesus Christ, who didst say that in thee we may have peace, and hast bidden us to be of good cheer, since thou hast overcome the world: Give ears to hear and faith to receive thy word; that in all the confusions and tensions of this present time, with mind serene and steadfast purpose, we may continue to abide in thee, who livest and wast dead and art alive for evermore.
Christ is Risen! Today is Easter on the Orthodox calendar.
Christos Anesti! Alithos Anesti!
Christos voskrese! Voistinu voskrese!
