The Triodion

a time of intense spiritual preparation

I have squandered the essence of my Father's riches as a prodigal, and having consumed them
all, I have come to dwell in a desert land of evil citizens, and I am no longer able to bear to dwell
with them, so I return, crying out to You, O compassionate Father: I have sinned against heaven
and before You, and I am no longer worthy to be called Your son.
Make me as one of Your hired servants, O God, and have mercy on me.
Idiomelon from the Sunday of the Prodigal Son in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
