Made Without Hands (Mandylion/Image of Edessa) | Jesus Christ Orthodox Icon Graphic Design | Red Black & Yellow | Christian Canvas Tote BagTroparion Tone 2 We venerate Your most pure image, O Good One, and ask forgiveness of our transgressions, O Christ God. Of Your own will You were pleased to ascend the Cross in the flesh to deliver Your creatures from bondage to the Enemy. Therefore with thanksgiving we cry aloud to You: You have filled all with joy, O our Savior, by coming to save the world. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, Both now and ever, and to the ages

and a sojourner

the more intense the efforts of his good will—the greater is the grace that he receives from God

the same as it was in the last minutes of life

Christ above me

and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies

we mean that one must be willing to make some effort to overcome his particular weakness

Those impressions that are stamped onto the soul at the hour of its death remain part of the soul forever

save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance

then the heart together with the conscience will demand their fulfillment

To the one who is victorious
