Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: With Thy divine light illumine the souls of those who with love rise at dawn unto Thee, O Good One, that they may know Thee, O Word of God, to be the true God Who calleth all forth from the darkness of sin.

¶2

By thine entreaties, O blessed and glorious prophet, convert me from unrighteousness to virtue, and lead me from the captivity of the passions to the light of piety.

¶3

Theotokion: In many forms the words of the prophets proclaim thy birthgiving, O all-pure one; and we, beholding now their fulfillment, truly declare thee to be the Theotokos.

¶4

Having enlightened thy soul with the comeliness of the virtues, thou didst show it forth as pleasing to the splendors of the divine Spirit, by Whom thou hast been enriched by the grace of prophecy.
