SUNDAY PROPERS:
Tropar of the Resurrection, Tone 1
When the stone had been sealed by the Jews, while the soldiers were guarding Your Most Pure Body. You arose on the third day, Saviour, granting life to the world. Therefore, the Powers of Heaven cried to You Giver of Life: Glory to Your Resurrection, Christ. Glory to Your Kingdom. Glory to Your Divine Plan, only Lover of Mankind.
Tropar of the Church, Tone 1
In giving birth, you preserved your virginity. In falling asleep you did not forsake the world, Birth-Giver of God. You were translated to life, Mother of Life, and through your prayers you deliver our souls form death.
Tropar of the Fathers, Tone 8
You are most glorious, Christ our God. You have established the Holy Fathers as lights on the earth. Through them You have guided us to the True Faith. Greatlty compassionate One, glory to You.
Glory… Kondak of the Resurrection, Tone 1
As God You arose from the tomb in glory, raising the world with Yourself. Human nature praises You as God for death has vanished. Adam exults, Master. Eve, freed from bondage, rejoices and cries out: “You, Christ, are the Giver of Resurrection to all”.
Now and ever… Kondak of the Fathers, Tone 8
The preaching of the Apostles and the doctrine of the Fathers confirmed the One Faith in the Church. In the garment of truth woven from theology on high she rightly divides and glorifies true piety.
Prokimen of the Resurrection, Tone 1
Let Your mercy, Lord, be upon us as we have put our hope in You.
Verse: Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous. Praise befits the upright.
Prokimen of the Fathers, Tone 4
Blessed are You, Lord God of our Fathers, praised and glorified is Your Name to the ages.
Alleluia Verses, Tone 1
God gives me retribution and has subdued peoples under me.
He magnifies the salvation of the king and deals mercifully for His anointed, for David and for his seed forever.
Alleluia Verse, Tone 1
The Lord, the God of gods, has spoken and summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Communion Hymn:
Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the Highest. Alleluia (3X).
Rejoice in the Lord, you Righteous, praise befits the upright, Alleluia (3X).
