Martyr Paramon, Tone 2
Beatitudes on 6, from the Octoechos. 1. We offer Thee the cry of the thief, and we pray: In Thy kingdom have mercy upon us, O Savior! 2. Having emulated the sufferings of Christ, O martyrs, ye ever heal the divers sufferings of men. 3. The apostles, prophets and righteous teachers were well-pleasing to the Creator of all. 4. In that Thou lovest mankind, O Lord, we pray: Number among all Thy saints all Thy servants who have departed in the Faith. 5. O transcendent Trinity, have pity on those who worship Thee, ever delivering them all from the deceit and wiles of the enemy. 6. Disdain not the entreaties of Thy servants, O most immaculate one, saving us from all misfortunes and tribulations. Troparia & Kontakia Tone 2: O Apostles, Martyrs, and Prophets, /
Venerable and Righteous Ones; /ye that have accomplished a good labor and kept the Faith, /that have boldness before the Savior; O Good Ones, //intercede for us, we pray, that our souls be saved.
Glory… Tone 8: With the saints give rest, O Christ, to the souls of Thy servants, //where there is neither sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting. Both now… Tone 8:To Thee, O Lord, the planter of creation, /the world doth offer the God-bearing martyrs as the first-fruits of nature. /By their intercessions, preserve Thy Church, Thy commonwealth, in profound peace, //through the Theotokos, O Greatly-merciful One.
