Nothing so arouses the soul, gives it wing, sets it free from the earth,
releases it from the prison of the body, teaches it to love wisdom
and to despise all the things of this life, as concordant melody
and sacred song composed in rhythm.

On Sundays, continue on page 66
with "Today is Salvation"

What state can be more blessed

than to imitate on earth the choirs of angels?
to begin the day with prayer, and honor our Maker with hymns and songs?
As the day brightens, to betake ourselves, with prayer attending on it
throughout, to our labors, and to season our work with hymns,
as food with salt? The consolation from hymns
produces a state of soul that is cheerful
and free of sorrow.

—St. Basil the Great

On Sundays, continue on page 67 with

"Today is Salvation" or on page 71

At all times, but most of all while chanting,

let us be still and undistracted.
For through distractions,
the demons aim to
ruin our prayer.

On Sundays, continue on page 68 with
"Today is Salvation" or on page 73
with "After Rising from the Tomb"

And even if you do not understand the meaning of the words,

for the time being teach your mouth to say them,
for the tongue is sanctified by the words alone
whenever it says them with good will.

—St. John Chrysostom
