Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, the mystery of Thy dispensation; I have understood Thy works, and have glorified Thy divinity.
Now and ever...
Thou didst denounce the deception of those who sought to force thee to renounce everlasting life and to love a life of vanity.
Wounded, thou didst rejoice in the Word Who was slain in the flesh for our sake, and thou didst cry out to thy tormentors: My sufferings are undeserved!
The gods whom ye serve have mouths, yet cannot speak! thou didst exclaim, O Eudoxius. “Let those who fashion them be like unto them!”
As Thou art sinless, O Unknowable One, grant us purification, and calm Thou the world, O God, through the prayers of her who gave Thee birth.
