Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Illumine our minds with the light of Thy commandments and with the splendor of Thy grace, O God, granting us Thy mercy, for Thy precepts are light and peace, O Good One.

¶2

Theotokion: O holy Virgin Mother, our enlightenment, thou art the morning-star leading Christ our God, the great Sun, to us. Him do thou entreat, that our souls be saved.

¶3

Illumining thy mind with the law of God, O venerable father Tryphon, from childhood thou didst move the Holy Trinity to mercy by thy tearful supplications; wherefore, having shone forth in great miracles, pray thou for our souls!

¶4

With the light of the preaching of the Gospel thou didst illumine a blind people; and, having come to know the Son of God, the never-waning Light, Who was preached by thee and before Whom thou now dost stand, we, thy servants, entreat thee: Pray that our souls be saved.

¶5

Illumine us with obedience to the commandments of God, O father Tryphon, guide us to the path of repentance, and vouchsafe unto us sinners, that after the departure of our souls we who honor thy holy memory may receive a place at the right hand of Christ.
