Sunday of the Publican & PhariseeTone 1
Brothers,
let us not pray like the Pharisee:
He who exalts himself will be humbled!
Let us prepare to abase ourselves by fasting;
Let us cry aloud with the voice of the Publican:
O God, forgive us sinners!
The Pharisee went up to the temple with a proud and empty heart;
The Publican bowed himself in repentance.
They both stood before you, O master:
The one, through boasting, lost his reward,
But the other, with tears and sighs, won your blessing:
Strengthen me, O Christ our God, as I weep in your presence,
Since you are the lover of mankind!
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
Tone 8
I know the value of tears, almighty Lord:
They delivered Hezekiah from the gates of death,
And rescued the harlot from repeated sins.
Tears justified the Publican instead of the Pharisee:
I pray you, Lord: number me with the former, and have mercy on me!
Now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
He who exalts himself will be humbled!
Let us prepare to abase ourselves by fasting;
Let us cry aloud with the voice of the Publican:
O God, forgive us sinners!
The Pharisee went up to the temple with a proud and empty heart;
The Publican bowed himself in repentance.
They both stood before you, O master:
The one, through boasting, lost his reward,
But the other, with tears and sighs, won your blessing:
Strengthen me, O Christ our God, as I weep in your presence,
Since you are the lover of mankind!
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
