PROPERS FOR LITURGY OF ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM

Tropar of the Resurrection, Tone 6

The angelic powers were at Your tomb. The guards became as dead men. Mary stood by Your grave seeking Your Most Pure Body. You captured Hell, not being tempted by it. You came to the Virgin, granting Life. Lord, risen from the dead, glory to You.

Tropar of the Dormition, 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 from death.

Tropar to the Holy Martyrs, Tone 4

Your holy martyrs O Lord, through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. Through their intercessions, save our souls.

Kondak of the Resurrection, Tone 6

When Christ God, the Giver of Life, with His Life-giving Hand raised all of the dead from the valleys of misery, He bestowed Resurrection on the human race. He is the Savior, the Resurrection the Life and the God of all.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Kondak to the Holy Martyrs, Tone 8

Today the Church honors those who fought the good fight and died for their faith: the victorious Menas, the noble Victor and the ascetic Vincent. The Church glorifies their divine struggle and cries out with love: Glory to You, O Christ, the lover of mankind.

Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Kondak of the Dormition, Tone 2

Neither the tomb nor death has power over the Birth-Giver of God; she is ever watchful in her prayers and in her intercession lies un-failing 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 6

Save Your people, O Lord, and bless Your inheritance.

Verse: O Lord, to You I will call, O my God, be not silent unto me.

Alleluia Verses in Tone 6

He that dwells in the aid of the Most High will abide in the shelter of the God of Heaven.

He will say to the Lord, my helper, You are my refuge. He is my God and I will hope in Him.

Communion Hymn:

Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the Highest.

Alleluia (3X)
