(=Tuesday Matins, First Week=)
"O come ye faithful, let us work the works of God in light,
Let us walk honestly as in the day, let us cast away from
ourselves every unjust writing against our neighbor, and not
put a stumbling block as an occasion for his falling on the way;
Let us put away the pleasures of the flesh;
Let us increase the graces of our souls;
Let us give bread to those in need;
Let us draw near to Christ in penitence, crying out:
"Have mercy on us, O our God!"

Why art thou weak yet not come to the physician?
Now is the fruitful time, and now is the real day of salvation.
Arise! Wash thyself in the tears of repentance and enlighten thy
lamp with the oil of good works,
