“their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.”

Through the prayers of our brothers Peter and Paul, Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and save us.

(yes, it’s transferred to Monday)
A traditional Eastern Orthodox-style icon showing Saints Peter and Paul in a warm embrace. Both figures are depicted in rich, stylized colors with golden halos behind their heads, symbolizing holiness. Saint Peter, on the left, has white hair and a beard, while Saint Paul, on the right, is balding with a pointed brown beard. They are dressed in green and red robes with gold highlights. The background is a luminous gold, and above their heads are inscriptions reading “St. Peter Foremost” and “St. Paul Apostles.” Their embrace and touching foreheads express unity, reconciliation, and mutual respect.

O Lord, arise, help us; and deliver us for thy Name’s sake.
Alt Image Description: A printed page titled “The Supplication” from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. The introduction notes it is used in place of the Versicle and Collect after the Lord’s Prayer, or at the end of Morning or Evening Prayer, especially during times of war, national anxiety, or disaster. The prayer begins with: “O Lord, arise, help us; And deliver us for thy Name’s sake.” It continues with a historical remembrance of God’s deeds, followed by repeated invocations asking for God’s help. A brief doxology is included: “Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost…” A series of versicles and responses follows: • “From our enemies defend us, O Christ;” with the response “Graciously behold our afflictions.” • Other pleas include asking Christ to behold sorrows, forgive sins, and hear prayers. The final section, under “The Officiant concludes,” includes a prayer beseeching God’s mercy, help in times of trouble, and the grace to live in holiness, ending through Jesus Christ. The word Amen concludes the text. The page number “154” appears before the word “Litany.”

Through the prayers of Marina the Monk, o Savior, save us
A Coptic icon-style painting of Saint Marina the Monk (also known as Marina the Ascetic or Marina the Disguised). The saint is shown wearing a dark blue monastic robe with a hood, and she holds a child wrapped in swaddling clothes. Saint Marina is depicted with a serene expression, raising her right hand to her lips in a gesture of silence or contemplation. The child, also with a halo, looks outward from her left arm. A prayer rope with a cross hangs from her robe. Greek text encircles her halo, identifying her as “Hagia Marina Monachē” (Saint Marina the Monk), and Arabic text at the bottom reads: “أيقونة القديسة مارينا الراهبة” meaning “Icon of Saint Marina the Nun.” The background is gold, typical of Coptic iconography, symbolizing holiness.

The Holy Spirit provides every gift; he inspires prophecy and perfects the priesthood; he grants wisdom to the illiterate, makes simple fishermen become wise theologians, and establishes perfect order in the assembly of the Church. Glory to you, O Paraclete!

In the center, a scroll reads, “The Spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole world.” The style is medieval-inspired with bold colors and decorative elements.

A richly colored Coptic icon titled “The Resurrection of Christ.” At the center, the risen Jesus Christ is shown in golden robes, standing triumphantly on the broken gates of Hades in the shape of a cross.

“To mock your reign, o dearest Lord, they made a crown of thorns: set you with taunts along that road from which no one returns. They did not know, as we do now, that glorious is your crown; that thorns would flower upon your brow, your sorrows heal our own.” (The Hymnal 1982, Hymn 170:1)
This is a stylized, Ethiopian-inspired iconographic depiction of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. At the center, Jesus is shown on the cross, wearing a red loincloth and a crown of thorns. Blood flows from his wounds, particularly from his hands, feet, and the spear wound in his side. Above his head is a sign with the inscription “J.N.K.J” and text in Ge’ez script, representing “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” Surrounding Jesus are figures with golden halos, indicating their sanctity. On the left side, two women, traditionally identified as Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene, are shown in blue and purple garments, gazing sorrowfully at the crucified Christ. Behind them, a Roman soldier on horseback pierces Jesus’ side with a spear. On the right side of the image are two male figures. One of them, with a green and red robe and a sorrowful expression, is likely the Apostle John. The other man stands behind him, also appearing mournful. The sky is dark, with a black sun and a red crescent moon symbolizing the supernatural events that occurred during the Crucifixion. Fire-like streaks descend from the sky, further indicating a cosmic disturbance. At the base of the cross lies a skull, representing Golgotha, the “place of the skull,” where Jesus was crucified. The style uses vivid colors, flat perspective, and symbolic detail, characteristic of Ethiopian Christian art.

O Christ our God, before Your Passion, You raised Lazarus from the dead to confirm the common Resurrection for all. Therefore, we carry the symbols of victory as did the youths, and we cry out to You, the victor over death, "Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”
Alt text: A vibrant Coptic icon-style painting depicting Jesus Christ riding a donkey, symbolizing His triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

I’m sorry, but everytime NPR reporters say DOGE, this is what immediately pops into my head.
