The Wonder of the Incarnation
The angelic hosts stand in awe as they witness the unapproachable God dwelling among humanity as one of us.
The whole nature of the angels was struck with wonder at the great work of your becoming human; for they beheld the One who is unapproachable as God become a man approachable to all, living among us, and hearing from everyone: Alleluia.
Read the original Latin
Πᾶσα φύσις Ἀγγέλων, κατεπλάγη τὸ μέγα, τῆς σῆς ἐνανθρωπήσεως ἔργον· τὸν ἀπρόσιτον γὰρ ὡς Θεόν, ἐθεώρει πᾶσι προσιτὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἡμῖν μὲν συνδιάγοντα, ἀκούοντα δὲ παρὰ πάντων οὕτως· Ἀλληλούια.
Akathist Hymn to the Theotokos companion
Never lose the rhythm again
Chosen Portion delivers your morning, midday and night office to your phone — the Hours, without the bells.
Chosen Portion is a modern Book of Hours: it turns the fixed-hour structure this collection preserves into scheduled, tappable daily prayer on your phone.
- Three daily prayer moments scheduled around your real calendar, not a monastery's
- Psalms and historic prayers sequenced for you — no page-flipping or decision fatigue
- A visible streak of completed offices, so the rhythm compounds instead of collapsing
