And now for something completely Byzantine...


 Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit both now and forever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
And now for something Byzantine...
And now for something else Byzantine...

May God bless all who read my ramblings,

Beautiful icon.

This chant is gorgeous. In the Latin rite it is from the Good Friday Reproaches and is chanted first in Greek and then in Latin.

A bit more trivia: St. Anthony Mary Claret was praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament and was told by Jesus to teach this prayer to all people who came to his conferences. It is also the end of the Divine Mercy Chaplet Jesus gave to St. Faustina.
