10th Sunday after Pentecost / Righteous Eudocimus of
Cappadocia / Forefeast of the Procession of the Cross
Beatitudes on 8: Octoechos: 8.
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. Let us worship the Father, let us glorify the
Son, and together let us hymn the all-holy Spirit, crying out and saying: O
most Holy Trinity, save us all!
8. Thy people bring Thy Mother before Thee to
make supplication, O Christ. Through her entreaties grant us Thy compassions, O
Good One, that we may glorify Thee Who hast shone forth upon us from the tomb.
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 1: O
Lord, save Thy people /
and bless Thine
inheritance. /
Grant Thou victory unto
Orthodox Christians /
over their enemies, /
and by the power of Thy
Cross //
do Thou preserve Thy
commonwealth.
[Troparion of the Temple]
Tone 4:
He Who hath summoned thee
from earth to the mansions of heaven /
also preserveth thy body
incorrupt after death, O holy Eudocimus; /
for thou didst live in
chastity and a pure life, /
without defiling thy
flesh, O blessed one. //
Wherefore, entreat Christ
God with boldness, that we may be saved.
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.
[Kontakion of the Temple]
Glory… Tone 2: Desiring higher things, and uniting thyself with those
on high, /
thou didst make thy soul a
fiery chariot /
by the divine ascents of
the virtues, O all-blessed Eudocimus; /
and living on the earth
like one of the incorporeal ones, //
thou wast well pleasing to
the Creator of all.
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.
