The Eastern Church recites this hymn during Vespers on the Fourth Sunday in Great Lent.
At times Lent can feel like a long, penitential season, with no end in sight. It can be tempting to give up any Lenten resolutions, especially if we have already failed.
Yet, it is never too late to strive for greater faithfulness to our Lenten sacrifices, and the middle point of Lent is a perfect time to make a new resolution to finish Lent on a strong note.
Here is a short hymn, translated in Dom Prosper Gueranger's Liturgical Year, that is sung during Vespers on the Fourth Sunday of Great Lent for many Eastern Christians.
It looks forward to the end of Lent, asking God for the strength to stay faithful to the final half of this penitential season.
