Troparion – Tone 7 (Resurrection) By Thy Cross Thou didst destroy Death. To the thief Thou didst open Paradise. For the Myrrhbearers Thou didst change weeping into joy. And Thou didst command Thy Disciples, O Christ God, To proclaim that Thou art Risen, //Granting the world great mercy.
Troparion—Tone 4 (St. Vladimir - See Insert) Troparion – Tone 8 (St. Chariton) By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole Universe! // O our Holy Father Cháriton, pray to Christ God that He may save our souls.
Kontakion – Tone 7 (Resurrection) The Dominion of Death can no longer hold Men captive, For Christ descended, shattering and destroying its powers. Hell is bound, while the Prophets rejoice and cry: “The Savior has come to those in faith; Enter, you faithful, //Into the Resurrection!”
Kontakion—Tone 8 (St. Vladimir - See Insert) Kontakion – Tone 2 (St. Chariton) Having delighted in abstinence, O Divinely-Wise One, and having bridled the fleshly desires, You did reveal yourself as having been reared with faith, You did blossom as a living tree in the middle of Paradise, //O most sacred, and All-Blessèd Chariton.
Prokeimenon — Tone 7 The Lord shall give strength to His people, the Lord shall bless His people with peace! Verse: Offer to the Lord, O ye sons of God! Offer young rams unto the Lord!
Epistle - 2 Corinthians 6:1-10; Gospel – Luke 5:1-11 Communion Hymns Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the highest! (Ps 148:1) The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance! He shall not fear evil tidings!
Love being with each other! Love being with the Lord! Love sharing God’s love!
