The Shubhkono service is on the first Monday of the Great Lent after the third hour prayers. This service of forgiveness is a preperation for Great Lent and is marked by 40 prostr ations with the kiss of peace at the end.The Church\, begins Great Lent wi th the 'Day of Forgiveness\,' and sets her journey into penitence. With kn eeling &\; prostrating\, her people look ahead to Kymtho\, the great fe ast of the Light. The service of reconciliation is conducted on Monday\, t he first day of the Great Lent\, at the end of sixth hour. The Service of Reconciliation or Shubkhono\, stands at the 'threshold of Great Lent.' The service marks the actual doorway into Lent\, the threshold on the other s ide of which stands the fullest measure of ascesis that the Church metes o ut to the whole of her faithful throughout the world. As we stand at the t hreshold of the fast\, we sing of him who stood before the gates of Eden.M editation by Aphrahat for Matthew 18:22:When Simon Peter heard this word\, he said to our Lord\, “Lord\, if another member of the church sins agai nst me\, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?”” Our Lor d said to him\, “Not seven times only\, but seven times seventy times. F orgive him even if he offends you for hundred and ninety times in one day. ” Such a person has become like his good Father\, who multiplied his for giveness upon Jerusalem. When he made the Israelites go into captivity in Babylon\, he chastised them there for seventy years. And when his mercy wa s set in motion\, he gathered them to their land through Ezra the scribe. He multiplied his forgiveness toward them by one half of his day\, which i s about seventy weeks of years (four hundred and ninety years). But when t he inhabitants of the city shed innocent blood he did not pardon Jerusalem \, but delivered it into the hands of its enemies. They uprooted it and di d not leave one stone upon another\, nor did they leave the foundation for the Lord. And he did not say to the Edomites that they would be punished\ , because they did not cry out concerning Jerusalem\, “Lay it abre! Lay it bare to its foundations!” God forgave them for half of his day (four hundred and ninety years) and endured their sins. But then he uprooted Je rusalem and delivered it into the hands of foreigners. It is in this way t hat our Life-giver commanded that a person should forgive his brother four hundred and ninety times in one day. St Aphrahat – Demonstration 2:13 O n Love. (courtesy Heavenly Bread FB Page) "If we confess our sins\, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins\, and to cleanse us from all unri ghteousness" I John 1:9 KJV Let us all ask forgiveness from everyone we ma y have wronged willingly or unwillingly\, knowingly or unknowingly so that our fast and prayers may be pleasing to God.
