Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council.
Post-feast of the Ascension
Ven. ISAAC of the Dalmatian Monstery (383).
Acts 21, 8-14 Jn. 14, 27 – 15, 7
Tropar of the Resurrection, Tone 6
The angelic powers were at Your tomb. The guards became as dead men. Mary stood by Your grave seeking Your Most Pure Body. You captured Hades not being tempted by it. You came to the Virgin granting Life. Lord Who arose from the dead: Glory to You.
Tropar of the Fathers, Tone 8
You are most glorious, Christ our God. You have established the Holy Fathers as lights upon the earth. Through them You have guided us to the True Faith. Greatly compassionate One, glory to You.
Tropar of the Ascension, Tone 4
You have ascended in Glory, Christ our God, having made Your disciples joyful by the promise of the Holy Spirit. Through the blessing they were assured that Your are the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world.
Glory… Kondak of the Holy Fathers, Tone 8
The preaching of the Apostles and doctrines of the Fathers have established One Faith for the Church. Adorned with the robe of Truth, woven from heavenly theology, great is the mystery of piety that it defines and glorifies.
Now and ever… Kondak of the Ascension, Tone 6
When You had accomplished Your Divine Plan for us and had united earthly and heavenly things, You ascended in Glory, Christ our God. Yet in no manner did You depart from us. Rather You abide with us forever. And You cry out to those who love You: “I am with you and none shall prevail against you”.
Prokimen for the Holy Fathers, Tone 4
Blessed are You, Lord God of our Fathers, praised and glorified is Your Name to the ages.
Verse: For You are righteous in all that You have done for us.
Alleluia Verses, Tone 1
The Lord, the God of gods, has spoken and summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Gather around Him, you His venerable ones, who made covenant with Him through sacrifices.
Instead of “It is right in truth”
Magnify, my soul, the Life-giver, Who has ascended from earth to heaven.
Irmos, Tone 5: Above understanding and speech you became the Mother of God and ineffably brought forth in time the One Who is beyond time. We, the faithful, with one accord, magnify you.
Communion Hymn
Receive the Body of Christ; taste the Fountain of Immortality. Alleluia (3X).
Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the Highest. Alleluia (3X).
Instead of “We have seen the true light”…
Ascension Tropar
Instead of “Let our mouths be filled”…
Ascension Tropar
