Thursday, May 14 : Saint Nerses Chnorhali

At the end of the forty days After the resurrection of Holy Easter, You brought up the Mount of Olives The group You have chosen: the eleven. And the promise of the Father, the Spirit, You promised to grant it to them, And, blessing them, Lord, You exalted Yourself to the Father in heaven. And our human nature, That the evil one had made hellish, You raised her above The nature of beings of fire. You sat at the right hand of Him who begot you, In accordance with the prophet who predicted it; You were adored by the armies of Angels With the Father and with the Spirit. And I who am inert for the good, Take me with You to heaven; My rotten, earthly limbs, Join them again to your Head. Although I am the last in everything Like the soles of the feet, However, among the holy members May I be numbered with the multitude!
