ELEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST. Tone 2
Post-feast of the Dormition.
Martyrs AGATHONICUS, ZOTICUS, THEOPREPIUS, SEVERIAN, ZENO and others (IV cent.).
1 Cor. 9, 2-12 Mt. 18, 23-35
Tropar of the Resurrection, Tone 2
When You descended to death, Life Immortal, You slew Hades with the splendour of Your Divinity. And when from the depths You raised the dead, all the Powers of Heaven cried out: Giver of Life, Christ our God, glory to You.
Tropar of the Feast, 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 Martyrs, Tone 4
In their sufferings, O Lord, Your martyrs received imperishable crowns from You, our God; for, possessed of Your might, they caste down the tormenters, and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons. By their supplications save our souls.
Kondak of the Resurrection, Tone 2
Hades became fearful, Almighty Saviour, seeing the miracle of Your Resurrection from the tomb. The dead arose and all creation, with Adam, beheld this and rejoiced with You and the world, my Saviour, praises You forever.
Glory… Kondak to Agathonicus, Tone 1
Having acquired a good name, O divinely wise one, you converted wicked men to the Faith, not fearing torture, O glorious Agathonicus. Wherefore, you became an heir to good things, and with those who suffered with you received worthy crowns.
Now and ever… Kondak of the Feast, Tone 2
Neither the tomb nor death had power over the Birth-Giver of God; she is ever watchful in her prayers and in her intercession lies unfailing hope. For as the Mother of Life she has been translated to life by the One Who dwelt within her ever-virginal womb.
Prokimen of the Resurrection, Tone 2
The Lord is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation.
Verse: The Lord has chastened me sorely, but He has not given me over to death.
Prokimen of the Feast, Tone 3
My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
Verse: For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
Alleluia Verses of the Resurrection, Tone 2
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble. May the Name of the God of Jacob protect you.
Lord, save the king and hear us on the day we call out to You.
Alleluia Verses of the Feast, Tone 2
Lord, arise in Your rest; You and the Ark of Your holiness.
The Lord has sworn in truth to David: And He will not turn from it.
Instead of “It is right in truth”
Beholding the Dormition of the Most Pure One, the angels were amazed, as the Virgin was taken up from earth to heaven.
Irmos, Tone 1: In you, Pure Virgin, the bounds of nature are overcome: Childbirth remains virginal and death is betrothed to life. Birth-Giver of God, Virgin after bearing a child and alive after death, always save your inheritance.
Communion Hymns
Praise the Lord from the Heavens, praise Him in the Highest. Alleluia (3X).
I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord. Alleluia (3X).
