Troparion of St. Matthew Tone 3

O Apostle Matthew, Thou didst hear the Voice of the Word/ and receive the light of faith./ Thou didst abandon the office of publican/ and proclaim Christ God's Self-emptying./ Ask that those who praise thee may receive forgiveness and great mercy.

Troparion of St. Afan Tone l

Llanafan remembers thee, O Hierarch Afan,/ thou teacher of piety, pastor, guide and inspirer of men's hearts./ Wherefore, O holy one, entreat Christ our God/ that He will grant great mercy to our souls.

Kontakion of St. Matthew Tone 4

When thou didst cast away the publican's balance/ thou didst take the yoke of righteousness/ and become a merchant rich in wisdom./ Thou didst preach the Word of truth/ and rouse the slothful by describing the Last Judgment.
