 St Theophan the Recluse
When we are Purified
from the grievous passions
through continuous Repentance-Confession,
our heart and soul is freely able
to fulfil the Will of God
But the more we permit those passions
to act within us -
when we allow the selfish desires of our flesh
to control us,
and to dominate our immortal soul –
we condemn and endanger ourselves
with general instability and insecurity.

Therefore, we went astray from the Way
of Truth, and the Light of
Righteousness did not shine on us,
and the sun did not rise upon us.
Satisfied with the Paths of Lawlessess,
we travelled through impassable
deserts, but the Way of the Lord we
have not known.
- S T J OH N B APTIST – T ONE 2
O Preacher of Repentance, John the
Baptist, when Thou was beheaded,
Thou Sanctified the Earth, for Thou
spread the Law of God to the
Faithful, and made lawlessness
disappear. As one present at the
Throne of Christ our Heavenly King,
plead with Him to have Mercy on our
soul.
Righeous shall flourish like a
palm tree; he shall be multiplied
like the Cedar in Lebanon.
For the Law of the Lord Thy head was
struck off, O All Holy John. With
blameless boldness of speech Thou
rebuked the impious King when he
transgressed the Law. Thus the
Angelic Hosts marvel at Thee, the
Choir of Apostles and Martyrs
Glorify Thee, and we Honour Thine
annual Memorial, as we Glorify the
Holy Trinity, Who Crowned Thee, O
Blessed Forerunner.
The Righteous shall be glad in the
Lord, and shall Hope in Him.
The Prophet from a Prophet, who
became greater than all the Prophets,
who was Sanctified from his
Mother’s Wmb for the Service of our
Lord, had his head struck off today
by a lawless King, and - both before
his execution and afterwards -
clearly rebuked the girl who danced
so licentiously, putting even the
regiment of sin to shame. And so we
cry out: O Baptist John, as Thou
hast freedom to speak, Intercede
insistently for our soul.
