The Gospel of Matthew. Chapter 5, verses 3-12.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed art thou, when they revile you, and wait for you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is much in heaven.

Divine Liturgy

About the Liturgy

In the Divine Liturgy section, the hymns of the Divine Liturgies of St. John Chrysostom and St. Basil the Great are given. Selected hymns of the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts are placed in the chapter "Hymns from the services of the Lenten Triodion".

The Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is celebrated in the Orthodox Church throughout the year, except for Great Lent, when it is celebrated on Saturdays, on the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos and on the Sunday of Vai.

The Liturgy of St. Basil the Great is celebrated 10 times a year: on Sunday of Great Lent, on Great Thursday and Saturday, on the feast day of St. Basil the Great (January 1), on Christmas and Epiphany Eve (if these days fall on Saturday or Sunday, then it is celebrated on the very feasts of the Nativity of Christ and the Baptism of the Lord).
