ANTIPHONS PRAYER: God, Lord of Sabaoth, who loved us so much as to send your only Son for the salvation of our human race, do not let our hearts be inclined to evil words and thoughts, but overwhelm our hearts with longing for You.

Amen.

O Only-Begotten Son and Word of God, immortal as You  are,  You  condescended  for  our  salvation  to  be incarnate of the holy Theotokos and ever-Virgin Mary, and without undergoing change, You became man; You were crucified, O Christ God, and You crushed death by Your death; You who are One of the Holy Trinity, equal in glory with the Father and the Holy Spirit, save us.

EPISTLE: HEBREWS 2:2-10 * (SEPTEMBER 6) Brethren, if the message declared through angels was valid, and every transgression or disobedience received a just penalty, how can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? It was declared at first through the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him, while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributed according to his will. Now God did not subject the coming world, about which we are speaking, to angels. But someone has testified somewhere, ‘What are human beings that you are mindful of them, or mortals, that you care for them? You have made them for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned them with glory and honor, subjecting all things under their feet.’ Now in subjecting all things to them, God left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them, but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

GOSPEL: LUKE 10:16-21 Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me, and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.’ The seventy returned with joy, saying, ‘Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!’ He said to them, ‘I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.’ At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.'

HIRMOS: It is truly right to call you blessed, O Theotokos. You are ever-blessed and all-blameless, and the Mother of our God. Higher in honor than the Cherubim and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, you gave birth to God the Word in virginity. You are truly Theotokos, you do we exalt.

KINONIKON: You make your angels like winds, and your ministers like blazing fires. Alleluia!

POST-COMMUNION: We  have  seen  the  True  Light, ...

APOLYSIS: May Christ our True God  through the prayers of His spotless and all-pure Mother, and through the power of the Glorious and Life-Giving Cross, and of His glorious Apostles who are worthy of all praise, and of our father among the saints John Chrysostom Archbishop of Constantinople, and through the intercession of St. N., patron of this holy church (or monastery) and of St. N. whose memory we celebrate today, and of the holy and just ancestors of Christ God, Joachim and Ann, and of all the saints, may this same Christ have mercy on us and save us, for He is good and loves mankind. Through the prayers of our holy fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen.
