Today is the beginning of the Great Fast. A blessed Lent to everyone.

Turn not away Your face from Your child, for I am afflicted;
Hear me speedily, draw near to my soul and deliver it.

Let Your salvation, O God, uphold me. 

Turn not away Your face from Your child, for I am afflicted;
Hear me speedily, draw near to my soul and deliver it.

Let the poor see and be glad.

Turn not away Your face from Your child, for I am afflicted;
Hear me speedily, draw near to my soul and deliver it.

Seek God and your soul shall live.

Turn not away Your face from Your child, for I am afflicted;
Hear me speedily, draw near to my soul and deliver it.

~ Prokeimenon, Forgiveness Vespers
