Now, be content, my beloved, to work on six days for your business and to cease
 wrongdoings on the day of the Lord. I know many who have troubles with each other
 and are fighting and say: ‘The day of the Lord comes and we have a trial.’ Oh
 wretched and miserable man! You are ordered to pray on the day of the Lord, not to
 organize courts of justice! Now the day of the Lord comes and the one who has a
 trial premeditates the whole night what he has against his neighbor and when the
 sunrise comes he arms himself against him. This custom is custom with most people
 that they sit outside when they leave the church and often the presbyter acts like
 that in the first place, and then they throw affairs at each other, disputes,
 insolences, reproaches, and such things and even worse things than that. Then they
 reenter the church and look angrily on each other like wild animals that creak
 with their teeth. Woe to the presbyter who sets such things in motion or sits in
 judgment on the day of the Lord and does not give his prayers to the Lord at the
 set hour! But if someone tastes from the common things before the release, he is
 liable to great judgment and punishment. And if he had tasted and has communion in
 the mysteries, then his part is that of the traitor Judas . I know many who tasted and
 took part on the day of the holy Pascha and woe to their soul, even more, if they
 are in adult age, that they instead of releasing their sins load even more on
 themselves. But also who has acknowledged bad deeds to himself and has had
 communion before he wiped them off through repentance is liable to the same
 judgment. For the bigger the day the bigger the sin. And those who are not without
 blame need to be strong until the release and need to have communion in that way.
 Woe to those who play lyre on the day of the Lord or dance or get judged or sit as
 judges or work or take an oath or make one swear, that they will be condemned to
 inextinguishable fire and their part is with the hypocrites. For that day was
 given to us for prayer and for atonement of evil, for repentance and for
 salvation, for rest of hired laborers and of servants.
