SUMMARY:Monday\, June 1 2026\; The Holy Martyr Justin the Philosopher and t
 hose with him.
DESCRIPTION:The Beginning of the Fast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul.\
 n\nAT VESPERS ON SUNDAY EVENING\n\nKathisma Reading\n\nThere are no psalms
  appointed to be chanted tonight.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 8\, Podoben “O
  Lord\, though You stood forth before the tribunal…”\n\nIf You mark in
 iquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness is that You may
  be revered.\n\nО Lord who came into the world to call sinners to You\,* 
 and who accepted the thief\, the publican and the harlot:* in Your love fo
 r mankind\, О my Christ\, call me also to You\,* though I have sinned aga
 inst You more than all others\, and never repent.\n\nI have waited for You
  as You have commanded\; my soul patiently relies on Your promise\,* for i
 t has trusted in the Lord.\n\nО Lord\, who ordained publicans as pastors 
 for Your Church\,* and made a helper now of him who before was a persecuto
 r:* By their supplications show me to be Your lamb\, О Saviour\,* and let
  me not\, who am useless\, fall prey to the alien one.\n\nFrom the morning
  watch until night* let Israel trust in the Lord.\n\nWeep before the end\,
  О my wretched and most vile soul\,* and cleave to God\, crying out to hi
 m with groans from the depths of your heart:* I have sinned against You\, 
 О Christ!* Revile me not\, I pray\,* but turning me back to You\, grant m
 e forgiveness\,* in that You are merciful.\n\nTone 2\, Podoben “When fro
 m the Tree…”\n\nFor with the Lord there is mercy\, and with Him there 
 is plentiful redemption\;* and He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquit
 ies.\n\nWhen the ice of ignorance beset all creation with hostile assault*
  and a multitude of\n\nidols were worshipped\, then\, O glorious martyrs\,
 * you abolished this with zealous heart\n\nand the fervor of divine faith\
 ;* and you manifestly shed your blood with love for Him\n\nWho shed His bl
 ood on the Cross.\n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nations\;* proclaim His glo
 ry\, all you people.\n\nWhen\, at God's behest\, you set yourselves apart 
 for supernatural struggles\,* ignoring\n\nyour corruptible bodies\,* then\
 , strengthened by the power of the Most High\,* you were\n\nundaunted by t
 he fire or the cutting sword.* Wherefore\, bending your necks before\n\nGo
 d\, O blessed ones\, you accepted death with joy.\n\nStrong is the love of
  the Lord for us\;* eternally will His truth endure.\n\nThe valiant athlet
 es Peon\, Valerian\, Chariton and Charita\,* the godly Justin\,\n\nEuelpis
 tus and the glorious Hierax\,* who dyed your vesture in your divine blood*
  and\n\nhave arrayed yourselves therein together\,* with the angels you st
 and before Christ the\n\nKing and Master of all in the heavens.\n\nTone 8\
 , Glory… Now…\n\nI\, a created being\, ever offend the Creator and mov
 e Him to anger.* Grant me correction\, О Maiden\, first conciliating Him\
 ;* and with your help raise me up to pleasing works\,* that I may receive 
 salvation and remission.\n\nProkeimenon\, Tone 8\n\nAnd now bless the Lord
 \,* all you servants of the Lord.\n\nverse: Who stand in the temple of the
  Lord\, in the courtyards of the house of our God.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 8\
 n\nThe angels unceasingly hymn You\, the King and Master\;* and I fall dow
 n before You\, crying like the publican:* Cleanse me\, О God\, and have m
 ercy upon me!\n\nI have lifted up my eyes to You enthroned in heaven. Beho
 ld\, as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters\, as the ey
 es of a maid are on the hands of her mistress\, so are our eyes on the Lor
 d our God until He has mercy on us.\n\nAs you are immortal\, О my soul\,*
  let not the waves of life cover you\,* but rise up\, crying out to your B
 enefactor:* Cleanse me\, О God\, and save me!\n\nHave mercy on us\, O Lor
 d\, have mercy on us\; for we have been filled with shame\; our soul is al
 l too full of the mockery of the rich\, of the contempt of the proud.\n\n
 О martyrs of the Lord\, you sanctify every place and heal every infirmity
 .* Pray now\, we beseech you\,* that our souls be delivered from the snare
 s of the enemy.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nTaking up the cry of the Archangel G
 abriel\, let us say:* Rejoice\, O Mother of God\, who has given birth to C
 hrist\,* the bestower of life upon the world!\n\nTroparion\, Tone 1\n\nBe 
 swayed by the pains that the saints have suffered for You\, O Lord\,* and 
 heal all our pains\,* O Lover of mankind\, for this we pray.\n\nGlory… N
 ow…\n\nThe universe recognizes in you\, O Woman full of grace\,* the mar
 vel of marvels\, and it rejoices.* You have borne without human seed* the 
 One Whom even the highest ranks of angels cannot look upon\,* and you have
  given Him birth in a manner beyond understanding.* Intercede with Him for
  the salvation of our souls.\n\nAT DIVINE LITURGY ON MONDAY MORNING\n\nTro
 paria and Kontakia\n\nTroparion\, Tone 1: Be swayed by the pains that the 
 saints have suffered for You\, O Lord\,* and heal all our pains\,* O Lover
  of mankind\, for this we pray.\n\nGlory be to the Father and to the Son a
 nd to the Holy Spirit\, now and for ever and ever. Amen.\n\nKontakion\, To
 ne 2: Appearing as radiant lights\, O godly martyrs\,* you illumine all cr
 eation with the brilliance of your miracles\,* healing infirmities\, alway
 s dispelling deep darkness* and praying unceasingly to Christ our God for 
 all of us.\n\nProkeimenon\, Tone 4\n\nTo the saints who are in His land\, 
 the Lord has made wonderful all His desires in them.\n\nverse: I foresaw t
 he Lord in my sight\, for He is at my right hand that I may not be shaken.
