Apostol § 298
Prokeimenon, Tone 6
O Lord, save Thy people / and bless Thine inheritance.
Verse: To Thee, O Lord, will I call. O my God, be not silent to me!
My son Timothy, be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, will give to me on that day, and not to me only, but also unto all them that have loved His appearing.
Alleluia, Tone 8
O God, be gracious to us and bless us, and make the light of Thy countenance to shine upon us, and have mercy on us!
Communion Hymn
