For Holy Apostles · Apostol — Fisherman's Friend

Epistle

§ 1311 Corinthians 4:9-16

Chant

The Commons service — the class’s own, not the day’s. Sung where the day prints no propers of its own: 1 of the 9 dated days below. 8 print their own propers, and those are what is sung.

Prokeimenon, Tone 8

Their proclamation has gone out into all the earth / and their words to the ends of the universe!

Verse: The heavens are telling the Glory of God, and the firmament proclaims His handiwork!

Alleluia, Tone 1

The heavens shall confess Thy wonders, O Lord, and Thy truth in the congregation of the Saints!

Verse: God is glorified in the council of the Saints!

Communion Hymn

Their proclamation has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the universe!

Where these Epistles are read — 10

Reading a class’s Epistle is not the same as belonging to the class. The Apostol appoints §233 on 18 August because that day’s service is copied from December 10, not because Florus and Laurus are Confessors.
