The Eighteenth Day of the Month of October
Troparion of St. Luke Tone 3
Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke,/ intercede with our merciful God,/ that He may grant to our souls/ the forgiveness of our sins.
Troparion of St. Gwen Tone 4
Faithfulness was thy virtue, O pious Gwen,/ for no greater sacrifice than life itself can be made for our saving faith./ Wherefore, holy Martyr, pray to God for us/ that we too may be faithful, even unto death,/ that our souls may be saved.
Troparion of St. Wenna Tone 4
O Brychan's jewel and holy daughter, most pious Wenna,/ thou didst deify the heathen Saxons, thereby winning a martyr's crown./ Being, therefore, numbered among the saints,/ intercede for us before the Throne of Grace,/ that we may be granted great mercy.
Troparion of Ss Brothen and Gwendolen Tone 1
As in your native Wales you won souls for Christ by your witness,/ O Righteous Brothen and Gwendolen,/ so now in heaven intercede for us/ that our souls may be saved.
Troparion of St. Monon Tone 4
Thou hast revealed to us the treasures of solitude, O Father Monon,/ and, fearing nothing, thou didst rebuke the lawless men for their ungodliness./ Wherefore, pray to God for us that we may have the courage to confront evil,/ even though like thee we thereby receive the crown of martyrdom,/ that we may be found worthy of eternal salvation.
Kontakion of St. Luke Tone 2
Let us praise holy Luke, the star of the Church,/ herald of piety and proclaimer of mysteries;/ for the Word Who alone knows the secrets of hearts/ has chosen him with Paul/ as a teacher of the nations.

ON WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS. TO THE MOTHER OF GOD AT THE CROSS.
Troparion. Tone 1.
O Lord, save thy people and bless thine inheritance,
granting victory to our God-fearing Sovereign
(Emperor, or, King, or, Queen, or, Prince) N.,
over enemies, and preserving thine estate by thy Cross.
To the Virgin at the Cross.
Having thy mediation, most pure one, and delivered by thy prayers from dangers,
and preserved in all things by the Cross of thy Son, with reverence,
as is meet, we all do magnify thee.
Condakion. Tone 4.
Thou that wast of thy own will raised upon the Cross, bestow thy bounties on the new estate called by thy name, O Christ our God. Rejoice in thy strength our God-fearing Sovereign (Emperor, or, King, or, Queen, or, Prince) N., granting him victory over his enemies; for he hath thine assistance, a shield of peace, a trophy that cannot be overcome.Of the Recitation of the Psalter.
The Psalter is divided into 20 Kathisms, and each of these is subdivided into 3 parts, called Stases, according to Table I.
And the Kathisms are recited in the Daily Office according to Table II.
Note: At the conclusion of every Stasis the Reader saith,
Glory to the Father...
And the Choir singeth,
Both now, and ever...
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to thee, O God, thrice.
Lord, have mercy, thrice.
Glory to the Father...
Then the Reader saith,
Both now, and ever...
And continueth reading, beginning the next Stasis.
