SUMMARY:Tuesday\, June 16\, 2026\; Our Holy Father and Wonderworker Tychon 
 of Amathus.
DESCRIPTION:Apostle’s Fast\n\nAT VESPERS ON MONDAY EVENING\n\nKathisma Re
 ading\n\nThe appointed psalms are chanted.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 2\n\nIf
  You mark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness is 
 that You may be revered.\n\nО Christ\, who alone are without sin\,* who a
 lone are without guile\, who alone are the Wellspring of goodness:* Behold
  my oppression\, behold my tribulation.* Wash all the wounds of my stripes
 \, and in Your mercy save Your servant\,* that\, having driven the clouds 
 of slothfulness far from me\,* I may glorify You\, my supremely good Savio
 ur.\n\nI have waited for You as You have commanded\; my soul patiently rel
 ies on Your promise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\n\nLook\, О my low
 ly soul!* Behold your works\, which are all-defiled!* Behold your nakednes
 s and\, alas\, your isolation!* For you shall be separated from God and th
 e angels\,* and cast into endless torment.* Come to your senses\, arise\, 
 make haste and cry aloud:* I have sinned\, О Saviour!* Grant me forgivene
 ss\, and save me!\n\nFrom the morning watch until night* let Israel trust 
 in the Lord.\n\nI have grievously defiled my body* and brought corruption 
 upon my soul and heart by my vile thoughts\;* I have wounded all my senses
 \, have blinded my eyes\,* have stopped up mine ears with filth\, and have
  defiled my tongue\;* and all that I have is shameful.* Therefore\, fallin
 g down before You\, I cry aloud:* О Master Christ\, I have sinned against
  You!* I have sinned\; forgive and save me!\n\nTone 8\n\nFor with the Lord
  there is mercy\, and with Him there is plentiful redemption\;* and He sha
 ll redeem Israel from all its iniquities.\n\nPossessed of a life equal to 
 that of the angels\,* by spurning pleasures you showed yourself to be a ve
 ssel of God\;* wherefore\, O wise Tychon\, as is meet He ordained you for 
 the people as a divine hierarch\,* and showed you to be a pillar and groun
 d of the Faith\, O divinely inspired one\,* pasturing your flock by the wa
 ters of Orthodox Faith\, O sacred one.\n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nation
 s\;* proclaim His glory\, all you people.\n\nFull of divine understanding\
 , you were shown to be a shepherd most wise\,* piously nurturing the reaso
 n-endowed flock on the grass of true doctrines\;* wherefore\, we honour no
 w your holy festival\,* glorifying aloud the Lord who has glorified you.* 
 O most blessed and divinely wise Tychon\,* pray that our souls be saved.\n
 \nStrong is the love of the Lord for us\;* eternally will His truth endure
 .\n\nO God\, who ever glorifies those who glorify Him\,* has glorified you
  with miracles\;* for during your honoured and divine commemoration\, O wi
 se father\,* ripe grapes are seen by those who hymn the all-glorious wonde
 r.* And partaking thereof* the faithful who glorify you as is meet* receiv
 e sanctification and profit.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nO all-immaculate and pu
 re one\,* who gave birth to the unbearable Fire* Who burns up sins and bed
 ews the faithful:* by thy supplications consume the tinder of my boundless
  offenses\,* and with your dew cool my soul\, which withers away through t
 he passions\,* that with a loud voice I\, your servant\,* may magnify your
  mercy and power.\n\nProkeimenon\, Tone 4\n\nThe Lord hears me* when I cry
  out to Him.\n\nverse: Whenever I called\, the God of my justice heard me.
 \n\nAposticha\n\nTone 2\n\nLike the prodigal son I have sinned against You
 \, О Saviour.* Accept me who am penitent\, О Father.* Have mercy upon me
 \, О God!\n\nI have lifted up my eyes to You enthroned in heaven. Behold\
 , as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters\, as the eyes 
 of a maid are on the hands of her mistress\, so are our eyes on the Lord o
 ur God until He has mercy on us.\n\nWith the cry of the publican I cry out
  to You\, О Christ my Saviour:* Cleanse me as You did him\,* and have mer
 cy on me\, О God!\n\nHave mercy on us\, O Lord\, have mercy on us\; for w
 e have been filled with shame\; our soul is all too full of the mockery of
  the rich\, of the contempt of the proud.\n\nWhen the holy martyrs pray fo
 r us and hymn Christ\,* all delusion ceases\, and the race of mankind is s
 aved by faith.\n\nTone 2\, Glory… Now…\n\nAll of my hope do I place on
  thee\, O Mother of God\;* keep me under your protection.\n\nTroparion\, T
 one 4\n\nYou first crucified yourself to the world by becoming poor among 
 the living.* Then like a true shepherd\, you put your life at the disposal
  of your flock.* Enriching your sheep with miracles\, you became a bright 
 light for the Church of Amathus.* By shedding light on it\, you saved it f
 rom the fog of deceit\, O father Tychon.* By our prayers enlighten us toda
 y as we praise you.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nLet us poor sinners hasten with 
 fervour to the Mother of God\;* let us humbly kneel before her and say fro
 m the depth of our hearts:* O Lady\, be kind to us and help us.* Hasten\, 
 for we are perishing under a multitude of sins.* Do not turn away your ser
 vants empty-handed\,* for you are their only hope and protection.\n\nAT DI
