The Thirty-First Day of the Month of October

Menologion

Troparion of the Apostles Tone 5

Let us acclaim Stachys,/ Apelles, Amplias, Urban, Narcissus and Aristobulus/ as a six-stringed harp of the Spirit/ that sings of God's marvelous gifts to mankind./ As divine Apostles they pray for us.

Troparion of St. Epimachus Tone 1

O Epimachus, thou didst wrestle as Christ's warrior/ and put the enemy to flight./ Thou didst suffer many torments, and we honour thee as a companion of God the Word./ Therefore we cry to thee:/ Glory to Him Who has strengthened thee; glory to Him Who has crowned thee;/ glory to Him Who through thee works healings for all.

Troparion of St. Herygh Tone 8

For four score years and ten thou didst grace the Cornish land/ with thy godly presence, O Father Herygh./ Therefore pray to God for us that we may devote every year of our lives to His service,/ that at the end we may be found worthy of eternal salvation.

Troparion of St. Foillan Tone 8

Pagan robbers bestowed upon thee the crown of martyrdom, O righteous Foillan,/ for thy life was a reproach to the impious and cruel men./ Having laboured with thy holy brother, our Father Fursey,/ in East Anglia and later in the Netherlands,/ pray to God for us, we beseech thee, that both in word and deed/ our lives may be a missionary witness,/ that we may be found worthy of His great mercy.

Troparion of St. John Kochurov

Tone 1

Aflame with love for God

  • You gave your life as a martyr for Christ and neighbor.
  • For this you received a crown of righteousness from Him.
  • O Hieromartyr John,
  • Entreat the Most Merciful God
  • To preserve the Holy Church in peace and save our souls.

    Kontakion of the Apostles Tone 8

    Let us thankfully praise the wise Apostles/ Stachys, Apelles, Amplias, Urban, Narcissus and Aristobulus,/ those treasures of the Holy Spirit and rays of the Sun of glory,/ who were brought together by the grace of our God.

    Kontakion of St. Epimachus Tone 3

    O Epimachus, of thine own accord/ thou didst take up the martyr's struggle./ Thou didst cry to the lawless:/ I have come to fight for truth and to revile the graven images./ Thou hast received a crown of righteousness.

    Kontakion of St. John Kochurov

    Tone 8

    As you zealously fulfilled your pastoral service,
  • You brought your soul to God as a well-pleasing sacrifice, O Father John.
  • Entreat Christ God to grant peace to the world and great mercy to our souls.
