Good to know

14^th Sunday after Pentecost

Tone 5            Troparion       (Resurrection)

Let us, the faithful, praise and worship the Word,

co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit,

born for our salvation from the Virgin;

for He willed to be lifted up on the Cross in the flesh,

to endure death,

and to raise the dead//

by His glorious Resurrection.

Tone 2            Troparion      (John the Baptist)

The memory of the righteous is celebrated with hymns of praise,  but the Lord’s testimony is sufficient for you, O Forerunner. You were shown in truth to be the most honorable of the Prophets, for you were deemed worthy to baptize in the steams of the Jordan Him  Whom they foretold. Therefore, having suffered for the truth with joy, you proclaimed to those in hell God Who appeared in the flesh,// Who takes away the sin of the world and grants us great mercy.

Troparion to St. Raphael of Brooklyn

Your proclamation has gone forth throughout North America, calling the scattered sheep into the unity of the church. Hearing your voice, they responded to your teaching, and through your writings you instructed them in piety. Now guided by your example, O Father Raphael, we sing hymns of praise unto Christ our God. Glory to Him Who gave you strength! Glory to Him Who granted you a crown! Glory to Him Who, through you, grants healing to all.
