Typika: Apostle Jude

4th Sunday After Pentecost / The Holy Apostle Jude, Brother of the Lord

Beatitudes on 10: Octoechos 6; Apostle 4, from Ode 3.

1. From paradise didst Thou drive our forefather Adam, who had broken Thy commandment, O Christ; but, O Compassionate One, Thou didst cause to dwell therein the thief who confessed Thee on the cross, crying out: “Remember me, O Savior, in Thy kingdom!”

2. With the curse of death didst Thou condemn us who had sinned, O Lord, Bestower of life; yet having suffered in Thy flesh, O sinless Master, Thou hast granted life unto mortals who cry out: “Remember us also in Thy kingdom!”

3. In rising from the dead, Thou hast raised us up from the passions with Thyself through Thy resurrection, O Lord; and all the power of death hast Thou destroyed, O Savior.  Wherefore, with faith we cry out to Thee: “Remember us also in Thy kingdom!”

4. O Thou who as God grantest life, by Thy three days in the tomb Thou didst raise up

with Thyself the dead in hell, and as One Who is good Thou hast poured forth incorruption upon all of us who with faith ever cry out: “Remember us also in Thy kingdom!”

5. Risen from the dead, O Savior, Thou didst first appear to the myrrh-bearing women, crying out: “Rejoice!” and through them Thou didst announce Thy resurrection to Thy friends, O Christ.  Wherefore, with faith we cry out to Thee, “Remember us also in Thy kingdom!”

6. Moses, stretching out his arms on the mountain, prefigured the Cross and thus conquered Amelek.  And, receiving it with faith as a mighty weapon against the demons, we all cry out: “Remember us also in Thy kingdom!”

7.  The splendor of the disciples of Christ is exalted far above all majesty; for they were His friends and peers, kinsmen and companions, and the transmitters of His mysteries.

8. Thy brethren praise thee, O Jude, as the brother of the preëternal Word Who appeared,

shining forth from the eternal and unoriginate Father, and deigned to appear in the flesh.

9. Mortifying thy members on the earth, thou didst live with Christ, the Life of all, O thou who art most rich, and wast a herald of life-bearing Life for the whole world, announcing the words of life.

10. Behold, thou hast been blessed above all others, O pure one, hast surpassed all in holiness, art more exalted than all, and hast been shown to be higher than the heavenly hosts, in that thou art the Mother of God.

Troparia

Tone 3: Let the heavens be glad; let earthly things rejoice; /

for the Lord hath wrought might with His arm. /

He hath trampled down death by death; /

the first-born of the dead hath He become. /

From the belly of Hades hath He delivered us //

and Hath granted to the world great mercy.

[Troparion of the Temple]

Glory… Tone 1:

Knowing thee to be the kinsman of Christ and a steadfast martyr, O Jude, /

with sanctity we praise thee who trampled falsehood underfoot and preserved the Faith. /

Wherefore, celebrating thy most holy memory today, //

through thy supplications we receive remission of sins.

Both now… Tone 1: When Gabriel announced to thee, “Rejoice!”, O Virgin, /

the Master of all became incarnate within thee, the holy tabernacle, at his cry, /

as the righteous David said. /

Thou wast shown to be more spacious than the heavens, /

having borne thy Creator. /

Glory to Him Who made His abode within thee! /

Glory to Him Who came forth from thee! //

Glory to Him Who hath set us free by thy birthgiving.

Kontakia

Tone 3:  Thou didst rise today from the tomb, O Merciful One, /

and didst lead us out of the gates of death. /

Today Adam danceth and Eve rejoiceth; /

and together with them both the prophets and patriarchs //

unceasingly praise the divine might of Thine authority.

[Kontakion of the Temple]

Glory… Tone 2:

For thy firmness of mind thou wast shown to be a chosen disciple /

and a steadfast pillar of the Church of Christ; /

and thou didst preach the word of Christ to the nations, /

telling them to believe in the one Godhead; /

and, glorified by Him, thou hast received the gift of healings, /

to cure the infirmities of those who have recourse unto thee, //

O most lauded apostle Jude.

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.
