Tropar Resurrectional, 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, Savior, 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 our church, Tone 4

Prophet and Forerunner of the coming of Christ,/ we who honor you with love can find no manner of praising you worthily./ For the barrenness of one who bore you / and the silence of your father have been ended by your being born of divine grace / and you have proclaimed to the world / the Incarnation of the Son of God.

Glory …
Kondak of our church, Tone 3

She who was previously barren / now bears the Forerunner of Christ / who is the fulfillment of every prophecy. / For the prophets proclaimed beforehand / that having laid hands on Him in the Jordan, / he would be manifest as Prophet, / Preacher / and Forerunner of the Word of God.

Now and ever ...
Kondak from Triodion, Tone 4

Let us flee from the proud boasting of the Pharisee and learn the humility of the Publican. With groaning let us cry out to the Savior: Be merciful to us, for You alone are always ready to forgive.

Prokimen

Priest: Let us be attentive! Peace be with you all!

Choir: (repeats the prokimen)

Reader: Let Your mercy, Lord, be upon us, …

Choir: … as we have set our hope in You.

Epistle

Deacon: Wisdom!

Reader: The reading is from the Second Letter of St. Paul to Timothy.

Deacon: Let us be attentive.

Reader: Son Timothy, you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Priest: Peace be with you.

Reader: And with your spirit. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Verse: God gives me retribution and has subdued peoples under me.

Verse: He magnifies the salvation of the king and deals mercifully for His anointed, for David and for his seed forever.

Communion Hymn

Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the highest. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Апостол

2 Тимофія 3:10-15

Сину Тимофіє, ти наслідував мене у вченні, житті, прихильності, вірі, великодушності, любові, терпінні, у гоніннях, стражданнях, що спіткали мене в Антіохії, Іконії, Лістрах; які гоніння я переніс, і від усіх визволив мене Господь. Та й усі, бажаючі жити побожно в Христі Ісусі, будуть гнані. Лихі ж люди і обманщики матимуть успіх у злому, зводячи інших і себе зводячи. А ти перебувай у тому, чого тебе навчили і що тобі довірили, знаючи, ким ти навчений. До того ж, ти з дитинства знаєш священні писання, які можуть умудрити тебе на спасіння вірою в Христа Ісуса.
