→Hymnographie : traduit de l'anglais et du roumain
The spiritual theme adds to the First Sunday of Great Lent's theme, ''faith''. In addition to faith, one needs ''effort''. The scripture readings are [[Book of Hebrews|Hebrews]] 1:10-2:3 and [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] 2:1-12. The [[epistle]] says to ''give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away... how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?'' The Gospel lesson has the image of ''effort and desire'' in the paralytic who is brought to [[Christ]] through the roof.
