From Octoechos - - -

Μακάριοι οἱ εἰρηνοποιοί, ὅτι αὐτοὶ Υἱοὶ Θεοῦ κληθήσονται.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. [RSV]

Διὰ ξύλου ὁ Ἀδάμ, Παραδείσου γέγονεν ἄποικος, διὰ ξύλου δὲ Σταυροῦ, ὁ Λῃστὴς Παράδεισον ᾤκησεν· ὁ μὲν γὰρ γευσάμενος, ἐντολὴν ἠθέτησε τοῦ ποιήσαντος, ὁ δὲ συσταυρούμενος, Θεὸν ὡμολόγησε τὸν κρυπτόμενον. Μνήσθητί μου βοῶν, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ σου.

Adam fell by a tree, and he was evicted from Paradise. * By the tree of the Cross the Robber gained entrance to Paradise. * The former, by tasting fruit, disobeyed his Maker’s commandment not to eat. * The latter was crucified with Him, whom though hidden he confessed to be God. * Remember us as well in Your kingdom, O Savior. [SD]

Μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [RSV]

Τοῦ Ποιμένος καὶ Ἀμνοῦ, λογικὰ ὑπάρχοντες θρέμματα, μέσον λύκων παρʼ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἀμνοὶ Σοφοὶ ἀπεστάλητε, τῷ θείῳ κηρύγματι, τὴν αὐτῶν μετάγοντες ἀγριότητα, πρὸς τὴν ἡμερότητα, τῆς πίστεως κράζοντες ἀκλινεῖ λογισμῷ. Μνήσθητι καὶ ἡμῶν Σωτήρ, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ σου.

You Apostles were indeed * reasonable livestock of Christ the Lamb * and the Shepherd, and by Him * you were sent as wise sheep amidst the wolves. * By preaching the word of God, * you subdued their wildness and tamed their savagery * and turned them to gentleness that comes with the Faith, and with certitude you cried: * “Remember us as well in Your kingdom, O Savior.” [SD]

Μακάριοι ἐστὲ ὅταν ὀνειδίσωσιν ὑμᾶς, καὶ διώξωσι, καὶ εἴπωσι πᾶν πονηρὸν ῥῆμα καθʼ ὑμῶν, ψευδόμενοι ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ.

Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely [for my sake]. [RSV]

Διελθόντες τὰ τῆς γῆς, Μαθηταὶ Κυρίου πληρώματα, ὡς ἀστέρες φαεινοί, τὸν σκοτασμὸν τῆς πλάνης ἐλύσατε, καὶ φέγγος σωτήριον, τοῖς πεπλανημένοις ἐναπηστράψατε· διὸ μακαρίζομεν, ὑμᾶς Χριστοκήρυκες ἐξαιτούμενοι, πρεσβεύειν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πάντοτε πρὸς Κύριον.

O Disciples of the Lord, * like resplendent stars you traversed the earth * and its people everywhere, * and you dispelled the gloom of idolatry, * and shined the salvific light * in the hearts of those who were formerly deceived. * And therefore we call you blessed, all-lauded heralds of Christ, and we entreat: * Intercede with the Lord evermore on our behalf. [SD]

Χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὅτι ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven. [RSV]

Μαρτυρικόν.

For the Martyrs.

Θανατούμενοι Σοφοί, καὶ πυρὶ ἐνύλῳ φλεγόμενοι, κατεφλέξατε πικρὰς πολυθεΐας ὕλην μακάριοι· καὶ νῦν ἀναβλύζετε, ἰαμάτων ῥεῖθρα τοῖς προσπελάζουσιν, ἡμῖν μετὰ πίστεως, θερμῶς ἀνακράζουσι καὶ βοῶσι Χριστῷ· Μνήσθητι καὶ ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ σου.

Blessed Martyrs, being wise, * you were killed for Christ; and as you were burnt * in the material fire, * you burned up the substance of pagan gods. * And now you are gushing forth * streams of cures and healing to all who come to you * with faith in the living God, * fervently entreating and crying out to Christ, * “Remember us as well in Your heavenly kingdom.” [SD]

Δόξα.

Glory.

Ἀποσκοποῦντες λογισμῷ, διανοίας νήφοντι εἴπωμεν, τῷ ἐν Ὑψίστοις σὺν Πατρί, καθεζομένῳ ἅμα καὶ Πνεύματι. Τριὰς ἡ ἀχώριστος, ἡ τὸ πᾶν τῷ λόγῳ πρὶν ὑποστήσασα, καὶ πάντας φωτίζουσα, τοὺς εὐλαβείᾳ καὶ πίστει σοι κράζοντας· Μνήσθητι καὶ ἡμῶν, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ σου.

As we concentrate the mind * with the watchful power of intellect, * let us say to God on high, * Father, Son, and Spirit who share the throne: * “Undivided Trinity, * You brought all things into existence by the word, * and now You illumine all * who with faith and reverence cry aloud to You, * ‘Remember us as well in Your heavenly kingdom.’” [SD]

Καὶ νῦν. Θεοτοκίον.

Both now. Theotokion.

Ἀποστόλων χαρμονή, καὶ Ἀθλοφόρων στέφος ἀμάραντον, χρηματίζεις ἀληθῶς, θεογεννῆτορ Κόρη πανάμωμε· μεθʼ ὧν ἡμῖν αἴτησαι, τῶν πταισμάτων Δέσποινα ἀπολύτρωσιν, καὶ βίου διόρθωσιν, τοῖς πίστει αἰτοῦσί σε καὶ βοῶσί σοι· Χαίροις παναληθῶς ἀγαθῶν θησαύρισμα.

All-blameless Mother of God, * truly the delight of Apostles all, * and the never-fading crown * of the Martyr Saints for their victories, * O Lady, we pray you now, * join them in entreating that we may be released * from sins and that we repent and thus make amends, as we cry to you with faith, * “Treasure that truly stores every blessing, O rejoice!” [SD]

Your confession of the true divine faith * manifested you unto the whole Church * as another Paul and zealot among the priests. * With you together is shouting the righteous blood * of Zacharias and Abel unto the Lord. * Holy Father Paul, beseech Christ our God fervently, * entreating that He grant us His great mercy. [SD]

You have taken to yourself, O Lord, the pinnacles of Your Disciples, those unerring theologians and preachers, to enjoy Your blessings and repose. For You accepted their labors and their death as being higher than any whole-burnt offering, for only You know what is in the heart. [SD]

Ὁ Ἀπόστολος

The Epistle

Τοῦ Ἁγίου.

For the Saint.

Πρὸς Ἑβραίους Ἐπιστολῆς Παύλου τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα.

The reading is from Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews.

Εβρ 8:1 – 6

Heb. 8:1 – 6

Ἀδελφοί, τοιοῦτον ἔχομεν ἀρχιερέα, ὃς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, τῶν Ἁγίων λειτουργὸς καὶ τῆς σκηνῆς τῆς ἀληθινῆς, ἣν ἔπηξεν ὁ Κύριος, καὶ οὐκ ἄνθρωπος. πᾶς γὰρ ἀρχιερεὺς εἰς τὸ προσφέρειν δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίας καθίσταται· ὅθεν ἀναγκαῖον ἔχειν τι καὶ τοῦτον ὃ προσενέγκῃ. εἰ μὲν γὰρ ἦν ἐπὶ γῆς, οὐδ᾽ ἂν ἦν ἱερεύς, ὄντων τῶν ἱερέων τῶν προσφερόντων κατὰ τὸν νόμον τὰ δῶρα, οἵτινες ὑποδείγματι καὶ σκιᾷ λατρεύουσι τῶν ἐπουρανίων, καθὼς κεχρημάτισται Μωϋσῆς μέλλων ἐπιτελεῖν τὴν σκηνήν· ὅρα γάρ φησι, ποιήσεις πάντα κατὰ τὸν τύπον τὸν δειχθέντα σοι ἐν τῷ ὄρει· νυνὶ δὲ διαφορωτέρας τέτευχε λειτουργίας, ὅσῳ καὶ κρείττονός ἐστι διαθήκης μεσίτης, ἥτις ἐπὶ κρείττοσιν ἐπαγγελίαις νενομοθέτηται.

Brethren, we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord. For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.” But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. [RSV]

Τὸ Εὐαγγέλιον

The Gospel

Τοῦ Ἁγίου.

For the Saint.

Ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν ἁγίου Εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα.

The reading is from the holy Gospel according to Luke.

Λκ 12:8 – 12

Lk. 12:8 – 12

Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ μαθηταῖς· πᾶς ὃς ἂν ὁμολογήσῃ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὁμολογήσει ἐν αὐτῷ ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ Θεοῦ· ὁ δὲ ἀρνησάμενός με ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀπαρνηθήσεται ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ Θεοῦ. καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἐρεῖ λόγον εἰς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ· τῷ δὲ εἰς τὸ Ἅγιον Πνεῦμα βλασφημήσαντι οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται. ὅταν δὲ προσφέρωσιν ὑμᾶς ἐπὶ τὰς συναγωγὰς καὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς καὶ τὰς ἐξουσίας, μὴ μεριμνᾶτε πῶς ἢ τί ἀπολογήσησθε, ἢ τί εἴπητε· τὸ γὰρ Ἅγιον Πνεῦμα διδάξει ὑμᾶς ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἃ δεῖ εἰπεῖν.

The Lord said to his disciples, “Every one who acknowledges me before men, the Son of man also will acknowledge before the angels of God; but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. And every one who speaks a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you are to answer or what you are to say; for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” [RSV]

   

   

Ὕμνος εἰς τὴν Θεοτόκον.

Hymn to the Theotokos.

Ἄξιόν ἐστιν ὡς ἀληθῶς μακαρίζειν σε τὴν Θεοτόκον, τὴν ἀειμακάριστον καὶ παναμώμητον καὶ μητέρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν. Τὴν τιμιωτέραν τῶν Χερουβεὶμ καὶ ἐνδοξοτέραν ἀσυγκρίτως τῶν Σεραφείμ, τὴν ἀδιαφθόρως Θεὸν Λόγον τεκοῦσαν, τὴν ὄντως Θεοτόκον, σὲ μεγαλύνομεν.

It is truly right to bless you, Theotokos, ever blessed, most pure, and Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, without corruption you gave birth to God the Logos. We magnify you, the true Theotokos.

   

   

Κοινωνικόν. Ψαλμὸς 18.

Communion Hymn. Psalm 18.

Εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν. Ἀλληλούϊα.

Their proclamation went forth into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. Alleluia. [SAAS]

Εἴδομεν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινόν, ἐλάβομεν Πνεῦμα ἐπουράνιον, εὕρομεν πίστιν ἀληθῆ, ἀδιαίρετον Τριάδα προσκυνοῦντες· αὕτη γὰρ ἡμᾶς ἔσωσεν.

We have seen the true light; we have received the heavenly Spirit; we have found the true faith, worshiping the undivided Trinity, for the Trinity has saved us.
