Reader’s Vespers 6pm tonight, followed by a meal together.

O Christ God, Who showed Moses / an image of Your Most Pure Mother / in the Bush that burned yet was not consumed, / for she herself was not consumed / when she received in her womb the fire of Divinity. / She remained incorrupt after her pure childbearing. / By her prayers, O greatly merciful one, / deliver us from the flame of passions, / and preserve your people from all harm.-Troparion for “Unburnt Bush” Icon of the Mother of God

Reader’s Vespers 6pm tonight, followed by a meal together.

You were shown to be a citizen of the desert, / an Angel in the flesh, and a wonderworker, O Moses, our God-bearing Father. / By fasting, vigil, and prayer, / you obtained heavenly gifts, and you heal the sick, and the souls of those who have recourse to thee with faith. / Glory to Him Who gave you strength. / Glory to Him Who crowned you. / Glory to Him Who, through you, works healings for all.-Troparion for Venerable Moses the Ethiopian of Scete— Tone 1

On the Mountain You were Transfigured, O Christ God, / and Your disciples beheld Your glory as far as they could see it; / so that when they would behold You crucified, / they would understand that Your suffering was voluntary, / and would proclaim to the world, / that You are truly the Radiance of the Father! -Kontakion for the Afterfeast of the Transfiguration of our Lord

Reader’s Vespers 6pm tonight, followed by a meal together.

Having departed from worldly tumults, / in leaving the world you followed Christ according to the Gospel. / You reached the quiet refuge of the Holy Mount Athos, / living there a life equal to the angels. / Therefore, with the blessing of the Fathers, / you came to the Kievan hills. / There having fulfilled a life loving of labors, / you illumined your homeland. / And having shown a multitude of monastics / the pathway leading to the heavenly kingdom, / you led them to Christ. / Beseech him, O Venerable Anthony, / that he may save our souls! -Troparion for Venerable Anthony of the Kiev Far Caves, Founder of Monasticism in Russia

Reader’s Vespers 6pm tonight, followed by a meal together.

The image of God was truly preserved in you, O Father, / for you took up the Cross and followed Christ. / By so doing you taught us to disregard the flesh for it passes away / but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore your spirit, venerable David, rejoices with the angels. -Troparion for St. David of Thessaloniki
