The Scripture Readings
Romans 7:1-13Troparion
Holy Prophet Elisha, Troparion, Tone IV —
The angel in the flesh, the foundation of the prophets,/ the second
forerunner of the coming of Christ,/ the glorious Elijah from on high sent down
grace upon Elisha/ to dispel infirmities and to cleanse lepers.// Wherefore, he
poureth forth healings upon those who honor him.
St. Methodius, Patriarch of Constantinople, Troparion, Tone IV —
The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith,/ a model
of meekness and a teacher of abstinence/ wherefore thou hast attained the
heights through humility/ and riches through poverty.// O hierarch Methodius our
father, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved.
Kontakion of the Holy Hierarch, Tone II, "The steadfast..." —
Thou didst struggle on earth like an incorporeal being, O Methodius,/ and
hast inherited the heavens,/ as one who explained the veneration of icons to the
ends of the earth;/ for subjected all the more to labors and pangs,// thou didst
not cease boldly to denounce those who cast aside the icons of Christ.
Kontakion of the Prophet, Tone II: "Seeking the highest..." —
Thou wast shown to be a prophet of God,/ receiving a twofold measure of
grace,/ which truly befitted thee, O blessed Elisha;/ for thou wast the
companion of Elijah,// and with him dost unceasingly entreat Christ God in
behalf of us all.
