Irmos: I pour forth my prayer unto the Lord, and to Him do I declare my grief; for my soul is full of evil and my life hath drawn nigh unto hell, and like Jonah I pray: Lead me up from corruption, O God!
Kontakion, in Tone III: Spec. Mel.: “Today the Virgin…”—
Thou wast the successor to the honorable Peter, enriched by his authority and having acquired his fervent zeal; and thou didst write a divinely inspired scroll, rejecting the vexatious heretical command, and bringing together, without confusion, the union of Christ’s Natures.
Theotokion: We, the faithful, confessing thee to be the mediatress of our salvation, O most pure one, cry out: Rejoice, O pure one! Rejoice, O Virgin Bride! Rejoice, mountain of God, overshadowed: for thou hast poured forth everlasting joy upon the world!
O God-pleasing servant of the ineffable mysteries, in manner past nature thou didst preach Christ the Lord, the only Son, begotten of the Father before time, Who for our sake was born of the Virgin and revealed Himself as consubstantial with us.
Seated upon the throne of the priesthood, O glorious one, and having shut the mouths of the noetic lions, with the divinely inspired dogmas of the worshipful Trinity thou didst shed upon thy flock the light of the knowledge of God. Wherefore, thou hast been glorified as a divine initiate of the mysteries of the grace of God.
