On Holy Tuesday we listen to the Gospel reading Matt 24:36-26:2. We read that Jesus stressed the importance of ethical preparation and wakefulness. He provides examples referring to Noah and the great flood, the parable of the Ten Virgins, and the Parable of the Talents.
THE HOLY LITURGY OF THE PRESANCTIFIED GIFTS ACCORDING TO BYZANTINE RITE TRADITION (from the Byzantine Catholic Archeparchy of Pittsburgh): https://archpitt.org/the-holy-liturgy-of-the-presanctified-gifts-according-to-byzantine-rite-tradition/
“The Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is celebrated during the Great Fast, and provides the faithful with the opportunity to receive Holy Communion on those days when the Eucharistic Sacrifice is not celebrated. The word “presanctified” indicates that the “gifts” (the Body and Blood of Christ), which are distributed at the service, are those consecrated at a previous Eucharist.” Information about the Liturgy of Presanctified Gifts from the Metropolitan Cantor Institute: https://mci.archpitt.org/liturgy/DivineLiturgyPresanctifiedGifts.html
