SUNDAY BEFORE THEOPHANY . CIRCUMCISION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. HolyFather Basil the Great Archbishop
Troparion (8): You came down from on high, O Merciful One, and accepted three days of burial to free us from our sufferings. O Lord, our life and our resurrection, glory be to You.
Troparion (1): O Jesus, enthroned on high together with Your eternal Father and Divine Spirit, You condescended to be born on earth of a maiden and virgin mother. And on the eighth day, You were circumcised. Glory be to Your most noble decision; glory be to Your plan of salvation; glory be to Your condescension, O Lord; You alone love mankind.
Troparion (1): Your voice resounds throughout the world which has accepted the lessons so well taught by you. You have given explanation to divine truths. You have clarified the nature of created things. You have made a rule of life for men. By your royal priesthood, O venerable father Basil, intercede with Christ to save our souls.
Glory be to the ….Kontakion (4): O venerable and heavenly inspired Basil, you were a firm foundation of the Church by giving to all a lasting treasure and impressing them with your teachings. Now and for ever and ever: Amen.
Kontakion (3): The Lord of all endures circumcision and His goodness purifies the sins of men and grants salvation to the world today. Therefore, Basil, the priest and torchbearer of the Creator, the divine mystic of Christ, rejoices on high.
Prokimenon (6): Save Your people, O Lord, and bless Your inheritance. Verse: To You, O Lord, I call; my God, be not deaf to me. Prokimenon of St. Basil (1): My mouth shall utter wisdom, and my heart be a lesson in wisdom.
Alleluia Verses: O God, be gracious to us and bless us. Alleluia(3). Verse: May Your face shed its light upon us and have mercy on us. Alleluia(3).
Instead of It is truly right… (The Hirmos of the Feast): In you, O Woman Full of Grace, the angelic choirs and the human race - all creation - rejoices. O Sanctified Temple, Mystical Paradise, and Glory of Virgins! He, Who is our God from before all ages took flesh from you and became a
child. He made your womb a throne, and greater than the heavens. In you, O Woman Full of Grace, all creation rejoices. All praise be to you!
Communion Verse: Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the highest. The just man shall be in everlasting remembrance. An evil report he shall not fear. Alleluia(3).
Epistle. Colossians 2:8-12
Brothers and Sisters, see to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have come to fullness in him, who is the head of every ruler and authority. In him also you were circumcised with a spiritual circumcision, by putting off the body of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ; when you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
Послання апостола Павла до Колосян 2:8-12
8 Вважайте, щоб ніхто вас не збаламутив філософією та пустим обманством, за людським переданням та за первнями світу, а не за Христом. 9 - У ньому бо враз з людською природою живе вся повнота Божества, 10 і ви причасні в тій його повноті. Він бо голова всякого начала і власти. 11 У ньому ви були й обрізані обрізанням нерукотворним, коли ви з себе скинули це смертне тіло, - обрізанням Христовим. 12 Поховані з ним у хрищенні, з ним ви разом також воскресли, вірою в силу Бога, який воскресив його з мертвих.
