33rd Sunday after Pentecost / Venerable
Euthymius the Great
Beatitudes on 10 Octoechos 6; Saint
4, from Ode 3.
1. Remember us, O
Christ, Thou Savior of the world, as Thou didst remember the thief
upon the Cross; and account us all worthy of Thy heavenly
kingdom, O Thou Who alone
art compassionate.
2. Hearken, O
Adam, and rejoice with Eve; for he who of old stripped you both naked,
and by deception hath taken all of us captive, hath been
set at nought by the Cross of
Christ.
3. Nailed of Thine
own will to the Tree, O our Savior, Thou didst deliver Adam from the
curse which came through the tree, and hast rewarded that
which is in Thine image with a
dwelling in paradise, in that Thou art compassionate.
4. Today is Christ
risen from the tomb, granting incorruption unto all the faithful; and He
reneweth the joy of the
myrrh-bearing women after His suffering and resurrection.
5. Rejoice, O wise
myrrh-bearing women, who were first to behold the resurrection of
Christ, and who proclaimed to the apostles the glad
tidings of the restoration of the whole
world!
6. O ye apostles,
who are manifestly the friends of Christ and are to be enthroned with
Him in glory: entreat Him with boldness, that He intercede for us, for ye are His disciples.
7. Emulating Hannah, she who gave thee birth brought thee, like the venerable Samuel
of old as a living sacrifice to God, Who had glorified thee even before thou wast
conceived.
8. Aflame with rich love for God, O venerable one, with most pious resolve thou didst
achieve mastery over the passions; wherefore, the grace of God rested upon thee.
9. Born of a barren woman, thou wast shown to be a most skilled husbandman of spiritual
fertility, cutting down the weeds of impiety and scattering the divine seed of piety, O
venerable one.
10. Thou didst seal the sayings of the prophets of God and their prophecies. Yeas, thou
didst fulfill all their divine utterances, O blessed and most immaculate one.
Troparia & Kontakia
Tone 8: From on high didst Thou descend, O
compassionate One; /
to burial of three days hast Thou submitted /
that Thou mightest free us from our passions. //
O our Life and Resurrection, O Lord, glory be to Thee.
Tone 4: Rejoice, O desert who hast not given birth! /
Be of good cheer,
O thou who hast not felt the pangs of travail! /
For the man of
spiritual desires hath multiplied children for thee, /
planting them
with piety and nurturing them with abstinence /
unto the
perfection of the virtues. /
Through his
supplications, O Christ God, //
bring peace to our life.
Tone 8: Having risen from
the tomb, Thou didst raise up the dead and didst resurrect Adam. /
Eve also danceth
at Thy Resurrection, //
and the ends of
the world celebrate Thine arising from the dead, O Greatly-merciful one.
Glory… Tone 8: Creation found joy in thine honored nativity /
and in thy divine
memory, O venerable one, /
receiving the
goodly cheer of thy many miracles. /
Give richly of
them to our souls, and wash away the defilement of our sins, //
that we may
chant: Alleluia!
Both now... Tone
6: O protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, /
O mediation unto the Creator unfailing, /
disdain not the suppliant voices of sinners, /
but be thou quick, O good one, to help us who in faith
cry unto thee; /
hasten to intercession and speed thou to make
supplication, //
thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor
thee.
