Pasen 2005 | Grote Maandag

Troparion – Tone 8
 
Behold the Bridegroom comes at midnight,
And blessed is the servant whom
He shall find watching,
And again unworthy is the servant whom
He shall find heedless.
Beware, therefore, O my soul,
do not be weighed down with sleep,
Lest you be given up to death and lest you
be shut out of the Kingdom.
But rouse yourself crying: Holy, Holy, Holy,
are You, O our God!
Through the Theotokos have mercy on us!
 
Kontakion – Tone 8
 
Jacob lamented the loss of Joseph,
But his noble son was seated on a chariot
And honored as a king.
For when he refused to be enslaved
By the pleasures of the Egyptian woman,
He was glorified by the Lord
who beholds the hearts of men,
And bestows upon them an incorruptible crown.
