 s You have commanded\; my soul patiently relies on Your promise\,* for it

  O Preacher\, entreat Christ God that our souls may be saved!\n\nTone 8\,

 h and dwelt with men\,* for He assumed a human body from the pure Virgin* 
 and was seen in the flesh He received from her.* He is the One and only Go
 d having two natures but not two persons.* Wherefore we profess and declar
 e the truth* that Christ our God is perfect God and perfect Man.* O Mother
 \, who knew not carnal union\,* intercede with Him that He may have mercy 
 on our souls.\n\nReadings\n\nJude 1-10\; Jude 11-16\; Jude 17-25\n\nAposti
 cha\n\nIn Tone 4\n\nYou have obtained invincible authority over demons\, O

  darkness.* You have passed through the earth giving light as the sun\,* a
 nd have taught all nations\, O glorious one\,* preaching Christ's first an
 d saving coming.\n\nTheir proclamation has gone out into all the earth\, a
 nd their words to the ends of the universe.\n\nYou were a man true in acti
 on\, O Jude:* you are called the brother of the Lord\,* reflecting the fir
 st grace of divine\, natural life!* Because of your goodness and the purit
 y of your mind\,* you were manifest as a faithful disciple of Christ.\n\nT
 he heavens are telling the glory of God\, and the firmament proclaims His 
 handiwork.\n\nAs an instrument well-tuned by the hand of God\, O Apostle J

 od\, pray to the Word\, Christ our God\,* that He may grant us great mercy

 ld.* For who has ever known a mother to bear a child without the help of m
 an?* Who has known a mother to hold in her arms the Source of all Creation
 ?* It was God’s own will to be born in this manner\;* and you\, O most p
 ure Virgin\, carried Him as an infant in your arms.* Because of this\, you
  can approach God with the boldness of a mother.* Therefore\, we venerate 
 you\, and ask you to always beseech Him* to have mercy on us and save our 
 souls.\n\nTroparia\n\nTone 1\n\nAs we know you to be Christ’s relative*

 ns.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nO Holy Tabernacle\, when Gabriel called out to y
 ou:* Rejoice\, O Virgin\, full of grace\,* the Lord of All became incarnat
 e of you\,* as the righteous David had foretold.* In bearing your Creator\
 , you have shown yourself to surpass the vastness of the heavens.* We\, th
 erefore\, cry out: Glory to Him Who dwelt in you!* Glory to Him Who came f
