VICHNAJA PAMJAT’! – MEMORY ETERNAL!
LITURGICAL PROPERS:
Tropar of the Resurrection, Tone 1
When the stone had been sealed by the Jews, while the soldiers were guarding Your Most Pure Body, You arose on the third day, Saviour, granting life to the world. Therefore, the Powers of Heaven cried to You Giver of Life: Glory to Your Resurrection, Christ. Glory to Your Kingdom. Glory to Your Divine Plan, Only Lover of Mankind.
Tropar of the Triodion, Tone 4
Let us flee from the proud boasting of the Pharisee and learn the humility of the Publican. With groaning let us cry out to the Saviour: Be merciful to us, for You alone are always ready to forgive.
Tropar of the Temple, Tone 1
In giving birth, you preserved your virginity. In falling asleep you did not forsake the world, Birth-Giver of God. You were translated to life, Mother of Life, and through your prayers you deliver our souls from death.
Tropar of the Saint, Tone 1
You were shown to be a desert-dweller, an angel in the flesh and a wonder-worker, O our God-bearing father Macarius. Having received heavenly gifts through fasting, vigil and prayer, you heal the infirm and the souls of those who have recourse unto you in faith. Glory to Him Who has given you strength! Glory to Him Who has crowned you! Glory to Him Who works healings for all through you!
Glory… Kondak of the Resurrection, Tone 1
As God, You arose from the tomb in glory, raising the world with Yourself. Human nature praises You as God for death has vanished. Adam exults, Master. Eve, freed from bondage, rejoices and cries out: “You, Christ, are the Giver of Resurrection to all”.
Now and ever… Kondak of the Triodion, Tone 3
Like the Publican let us bring cries of sorrow to the Lord and let us all fall before Him as sinners at the Master’s feet. For He desires the salvation of all. He grants forgiveness to all who repent and He has taken flesh for our sake, even though He is God Co-eternal with the Father.
Prokimen of the Resurrection, Tone 1
Let Your mercy, Lord, be upon us as we have put our hope in You.
Verse: Rejoice in the Lord, you Righteous. Praise befits the upright.
Alleluia Verses, Tone 1
God gives me retribution and has subdued peoples under me.
He magnifies the salvation of the king and deals mercifully for His anointed, for David and for his seed forever.
Communion Hymns:
Praise the Lord from the Heavens; praise Him in the Highest. Alleluia (3X).
