Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my Name: ask, and ye shall receive, alleluia. [Magnificat antiphon, Saturday Vespers, fourth week of Easter and Sunday Lauds, fifth Sunday after Easter] ++++++++ The proud have had me exceedingly in derision; yet have I not shrinked from thy law. For I remembered thine everlasting judgements, O Lord, and received comfort. [Psalm 118 [119]:51-52] ++++++++ Readings from the Fathers during Matins in Paschaltide. Homily by St. Gregory the Great Homily 21 on the Gospels Lesson x THOSE women saw the Angels, when they came with sweet spices: for truly they who go forth to seek the Lord with holy desire in the odour of virtue do mentally behold the heavenly citizens. We must consider why it was that the Angel was seen sitting on the right side. For what is meant by the left, but this present life: what by the right, but life eternal? Whence it is written in the Song of Songs: His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
