Dark clouds and thunder during Holy Week.
Ἐρχόμενος ὁ Κύριος, πρὸς τὸ ἑκούσιον Πάθος, τοῖς Ἀποστόλοις ἔλεγεν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ. Ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ παραδοθήσεται ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, καθώς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ. Δεῦτε οὖν καὶ ἡμεῖς, κεκαθαρμέναις διανοίαις, συμπορευθῶμεν αὐτῷ, καὶ συσταυρωθῶμεν, καὶ νεκρωθῶμεν δι’ αὐτόν, ταῖς τοῦ βίου ἡδοναῖς, ἵνα καὶ συζήσωμεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀκούσωμεν βοῶντος αὐτοῦ, οὐκέτι εἰς τὴν ἐπίγειον Ἱερουσαλήμ, διὰ τὸ παθεῖν, ἀλλὰ ἀναβαίνω πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα μου, καὶ Πατέρα ὑμῶν, καὶ Θεόν μου, καὶ Θεὸν ὑμῶν, καὶ συνανυψῶ ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἄνω Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν.
When the Lord was coming to his voluntary Passion, he said to his Apostles in the way: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered up, as it is written concerning him. Come, therefore, with minds purified, let us also go in the way with Him, and let us be crucified with Him, and let us die for him to the pleasures of this life, that we may also live with him, and may hear him crying: No longer do I go to the earthly Jerusalem to suffer, but I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and unto my God and your God; and I will raise you up together unto the Jerusalem on high, in the Kingdom of the heavens.

How to hear this at Matins must be beautiful and true.
