Telethros (Gregorian) episodes

  • 2nd Tuesday Great Compline

    The Order of Great Compline for the 2nd Tuesday of Great Lent. According to the Typikon, on this day we take the Canon of the Saint who will be omitted due to Palm Sunday. This year, Palm Sunday falls on March 24th, which has no proper saint but is the prefestive day of the Annunciation. As such, that Canon makes no sense so far removed from the Feast for which it is meant to prepare us. Therefore, we take as normal the Canon of Supplication to the Theotokos for the day and tone of the week (Tuesday Tone 5) from the Oktoekhos.

    For time constraints recording, I have used only the Odes of the Day (3, 8, 9) rather than the whole Canon.

About Telethros (Gregorian)

From the publisher's feed

In this podcast, I will be uploading reader versions of services in the Byzantine Rite, on the Gregorian Calendar, mostly according to the usage of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. These are meant as guides to accompany and even direct life in the domestic church. We all live much busier lives than our ancestors, whose rural living in tight-knit villages around their parish churches allowed them to live their lives to the rhythm of the Church Year. We, however, often find ourselves commuting long distances or working longer hours which don't allow us the luxury of daily church attendance. So many of us turn to home prayer rules, but resources can often be few and far between, and even when they do exist, they can be complicated and time consuming to use. That's where this podcast wants to provide some support. By making the reader services, as they would be done un-priested in home or church worship, available in an audio-only format, my hope is that more of us can be uplifted by the liturgical core of our Byzantine Spiritual and Liturgical Tradition to maintain our prayer life in our busy modern lives.
