VESPERS
The Vesper service is full of memories of the creation, the fall, the expulsion from paradise and the profound contrition of the best men who found their only comfort in hope in the Saviour and joyfully hailed His coming.
Vespers begin with the glorification of God and includes petitions for our needs, singing of psalms and anthems, expressing regret for the lost beauty of paradise, repentance of sins, prayers of salvation, expressions of hope in the Saviour. The service ends with the Lord's Payer, a hymn of praise in honor of the Mother of God.
ALWAYS REMEMBER that our Orthodox Church is a church of LOVE - not church of fear and punishment.
