Troparion of the Archangel Gabriel Tone 4

Supreme Leader of the Heavenly Host,/ we implore thee that by thy prayers thou wilt encircle us,/ unworthy as we are,/ with the protection of the wings of thy immaterial glory,/ and guard us who fall down before thee and fervently cry:/ Deliver us from dangers,/ for thou art the commander of the Powers above.

Troparion of St. Stephen Tone 3

O righteous Father Stephen, thou didst receive a glorious crown/ and became a crown of the Church,/ for thou wast crowned with divine graces/ and wast resplendent in godliness./ Entreat Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.

Troparion of St. Just Tone 6

Son of St. Geraint, O lover of peace,/ when a stranger took thy cell thou didst wander to distant lands./ Through thy patience thou art glorious./ We honour thee, O holy Just.

Kontakion of the Archangel Gabriel Tone 2

Thou dost behold the glory of God in heaven,/ and bring grace from on high to earth,/ O wise Gabriel, Leader of Angels,/ minister of God's glory and champion of the world./ Save and preserve those who cry to thee:/ Be our helper, and no one will be against us.

Kontakion of St. Stephen Tone 4

Thou didst plant a paradise of virtues/ and water it with thy tears,/ and receive the Tree of Life./ By thy prayers save thy flock from corruption/ and deliver from temptations those who venerate thee./ O glorious Stephen,/ through faith and love we have acquired thee as a great intercessor. 13 - 19

SUNDAY OF THE HOLY FATHERS OF THE SEVEN ECUMENICAL COUNCILS

Troparion Tone 8

Glorious art Thou, O Christ our God/ Who hast established our holy fathers as stars on earth./ Through them Thou dost guide us to the True Faith./ O Most Merciful One, glory to Thee.

Kontakion Tone 8

The preaching of the Apostles and the doctrine of the Fathers confirmed the one faith in the Church./ In the garment of truth woven from theology on high she rightly divides and glorifies true piety.
