At the aposticha, the stichera from the Octoechos, and Glory…, in Tone VIII—

The martyr Myrax crieth aloud: “I have foolishly apostatized from Christ, buying a transitory life and vain benefits! And, lo! I see myself poor and naked, devoured by a spiritual hunger, tormented by a thirst for forgiveness! For I received the royal coin from God, but have cast it to the swine, and have received nought in exchange for it. Yet I beg Thee, praying: Take this my transitory life, O Lord, giving me in exchange life everlasting! Accept my blood, which is shed for Thee, and grant that I may share in Thine immortal banquet! Receive my repentance as Thou didst that of the thief, and save me!”

Now & ever…: Theotokion, or this Stavrotheotokion: Spec. Mel.: “O all-glorious wonder…”—

Troparion, in Tone IV—

“I cannot bear, O my Child, * to behold Thee * dying upon the Tree, * O Thou Who givest courage unto all, * that Thou mightest give divine and saving courage * unto those who of old fell into the sleep of perdition * through the fruit of disobedience!” * weeping, said the Virgin, whom we magnify.

Troparion, in Tone I—

In his sufferings, O Lord, Thy martyr Myrax received an imperishable crown from Thee, our God; for, possessed of Thy might, he set at nought the tormenters and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons. By his supplications save Thou our souls.

Thou wast a pillar of patience, O venerable one, emulating the forefathers: Job in sufferings, Joseph in temptations, and the life of the incorporeal ones while yet in the body. O Daniel, our father, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved!
