Divine Liturgy is the most significant ancient Christian service and at the center of the inspiration of the first Christians in their communion with God and one another.  Liturgy begins with the words "Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages".  We are called to attention before the Heavenly Kingdom, to "lay aside all earthly cares" for it is now "time for the Lord to act".

Troparion — Tone 8

Blessed art Thou O Christ Our God / Thou hast revealed the fishermen as most wise / By sending down upon them the Holy Spirit / Through them Thou drewest the world into Thy net / O Lover of Man, Glory to Thee!

Kontakion — Tone 8

When the most High came down and confused the tongues, / He divided the nations; / But when he distributed the tongues of fire / He called all to unity. / Therefore, with one voice, we glorify the All-holy Spirit!
