3rd: Watos Exposition

God the Father is Spirit and those who worship Him ought to worship in spirit and truth. Moses declared to us the mystery of the One Godhead of the Holy Trinity, the Three Persons. He said: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. There is no other God but Him.

You shall not go after other gods. "And those who were listening to those words could not bear to hear the mystery of the Divinity. For the sake of the Only begotten Son who is in the bosom of His Father, and who was Incarnate and taught us the depth of His Divinity, the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father descended on the pure Apostles and appeared in the form of tongues of fire.

Therefore, we supplicate and cry out, saying: "O Holy Spirit the Paraclete, who descended on the Apostles, kindle fire in our minds and hearts with your might power and guide our souls to the knowledge of Your statutes that we may utter words of prayer befitting our God.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, the consubstantial Holy Trinity, One God, now and always and until the end of ages. Amen.
