10th
Sunday after Pentecost / The Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God
Beatitudes on 10 Octoechos 6; Icon
4, from Ode 3.
1. Through food did the enemy lead Adam forth
from paradise; but by the Cross hath
Christ led back to it the
thief who cried: Remember me when Thou
comest in Thy
kingdom!
2. With Adam and the thief I worship Thy
sufferings and glorify Thy resurrection; and I
cry out with a splendid
voice: Remember me, O Lord, when Thou
comest in Thy
kingdom!
3. O Sinless One, of Thine own will Thou wast
crucified and placed in the Tomb, yet
Thou didst arise as God,
raising up with Thyself Adam who crieth out: Remember me
when Thou comest in Thy
kingdom!
4. Raising up the temple of Thy body by Thy
resurrection on the third day, O Christ God,
Thou didst raise up Adam
and his descendants who cry: Remember me when Thou
comest in Thy kingdom!
5. Very early, the myrrh-bearing women arrived,
weeping, at Thy tomb, O Christ God;
and they found an angel
sitting there, clad in white garments, who said: What seek ye?
Christ is risen! Lament no longer!
6. When Thine apostles went to the mountain
whither Thou hadst commanded them to
go, and saw Thee, O
Savior, they worshipped Thee; and Thou didst send them unto the
nations, to teach and baptize
them.
7. The Christ-loving Anna received thine icon, O
Mistress, from the hand of the holy
hierarch, as a sacred
gift, a reward for her hospitality, and seeing the healing thereby of
her brother who had been born
blind, she gave it to the Monastery of Pochaev for the
common good.
8. Let us kiss the Pochaev
Icon of the all-pure Theotokos, O faithful, and, offering
repentance for our sins,
let us ask of the Mistress deliverance from want and help in all
good undertakings.
9. The miraculous icon of
the Theotokos appeared on holy Mount Pochaev as a most
beautiful blossom on a
tree of goodly foliage. O ye faithful, ask that the gift of loving-
kindness, needful for our
life, be given you, in accordance with Christ’s words.
10. That which is
necessary for this transitory life, O brethren, is of little value; yet even
these things doth the Lord
give us, at the entreaty of His Mother. Yet He blesseth and
rewardeth with eternal joy
in heaven those who endure more than these. Pray thou, O
Mistress, that He grant it
also unto us.
Troparia & Kontakia
Tone 1: When
the stone had been sealed by the Jews, /
And the soldiers were
guarding Thine immaculate Body, /
Thou didst arise on the
third day, O Savior, /
granting life unto the
world. /
Wherefore, the Hosts of
the Heavens cried out to Thee, O Life-giver: /
Glory to Thy Resurrection,
O Christ. /
Glory to Thy kingdom. //
Glory to Thy dispensation,
O only Lover of mankind.
Tone 5:
Before thy holy
icon, O Sovereign Lady, /
they who pray
are vouchsafed healings, /
receive
knowledge of the true Faith, /
and repel the
assaults of the Moslems. /
Wherefore, for
us who fall down before thee, /
do thou
entreat remission of sins; /
enlighten our hearts
with thoughts of piety, /
and offer up
supplication before thy Son //
for the
salvation of our souls.
[Troparion of the Temple]
Tone 1: As
God, Thou didst arise from the tomb in glory, /
and Thou didst raise the
world together with Thyself. /
And mortal nature praiseth
Thee as God, /
and death hath vanished. /
And Adam danceth, O
Master, /
and Eve, now freed from
fetters, rejoiceth as she crieth out: /
Thou art He, O Christ, //
that grantest unto all
resurrection.
Glory… [Kontakion of the Temple]
Both now... Tone 1: Thine icon of Pochaev /
hath been shown to be a
wellspring of healings /
and the confirmation of
the Orthodox Faith, /
O Theotokos. /
Wherefore, from
misfortunes and temptations /
free us who have recourse
to it; /
preserve thy Lavra unharmed; /
establish Orthodoxy in the
surrounding lands; /
and remit the sins of
those who pray to thee, //
for whatsoever thou
desirest, thou canst do.
