Come,

let us Labour in the Mystical Vineyard, producing Fruits of Repentance within it, not labouring for things that are eaten or drunk, but by Prayer and Fasting attaining the Virtues. By such will the Lord of the Labour be pleased, and He will grant them the denariis whereby He Ransoms souls from the Debt of sin, for He alone is the Only Greatly Merciful One.

When

they saw Him, they worshipped Him; but some doubted.

Ke proselthon O Iisous elalisen aftis legon: And

Jesus went and spoke to them, saying: All Authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make Disciples of all the Nations, Baptising them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I Am with you always, even to the end of the age.
