Readings for Presanctified Liturgy on M, T, W
===Holy Monday===
The first three days of Holy Week remind us of Christ's last instructions with his disciples. These teachings are remembered in the celebration of the Great Compline, Matins, Hours, and Liturgy during these days. The [[Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts]] celebrated these days includes readings from [[Exodus]] and [[Book of Job|Job]] and [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]]
The Matins services of the evenings of Palm Sunday, and '''Holy Monday''', and '''Holy Tuesday''', anticipating the events of the next day, share a common theme devoted to the [[Bridegroom]] Services derived from the Parable of the Ten Virgins that calls for preparedness at the Second Coming, for the "thief comes in the middle of the night." (Matt. 26:1-13)
