Readings of the Great Fast VOL 1

By SUS COPTIC DIOCESE

The Coptic Lectionary for the Great Fast is a sacred companion for the Church's most profound season of repentance, prayer, and spiritual renewal. This volume presents the appointed Scripture readings for each day of the Great Fast according to the tradition of the Coptic Orthodox Church, carefully arranged to guide the faithful on the journey toward Pascha.

Rooted in the Church's ancient liturgical rhythm, the readings emphasize repentance, fasting, almsgiving, humility, and preparation of the heart to encounter Christ. Each day's selections-drawn from the Pauline Epistles, Catholic Epistles, Acts, Psalms, and Holy Gospel-are chosen to deepen reflection, encourage spiritual struggle, and illuminate the path of salvation.

Designed for clergy, deacons, servants, and lay believers alike, this lectionary is ideal for use in church services, personal devotion, and family prayer. Whether used at the altar or in quiet reflection at home, this book invites the reader to enter fully into the spirit of the Great Fast and to walk faithfully with the Church toward the joy of the Resurrection.
