To those who hunger for the bread of wisdom, this book will be a spiritual table, full of innumerable heavenly delicacies; and if they eat of it, they shall not die, but live forever. And to those who thirst for the sweet and nectar-filled water of the holy troparion, it will be a spring of flowing honey and rich in waters, from which flows the spiritual brook of ambrosia, which raises us from the dead.
