Troparia and kontakia for July 27

Synaxis of the Saints of North America

Troparion — Tone 8

As the bountiful harvest of Your sowing of salvation, / the lands of North America offer to You, O Lord, all the saints who have shone in them. / By their prayers keep the Church and our land in abiding peace / through the Theotokos, O most Merciful One.

Kontakion — Tone 3

Today the choir of Saints who were pleasing to God in the lands of North America / now stands before us in the Church and invisibly prays to God for us. / With them the angels glorify Him, / and all the saints of the Church of Christ keep festival with them; / and together they all pray for us to the Pre-Eternal God.

Greatmartyr and Healer Panteleimon

Troparion — Tone 3

O holy prizewinner and Healer Panteleimon, / intercede with the merciful God, / that He grant unto our souls the forgiveness of our offenses.

Kontakion — Tone 5

Since you are an emulator of the Merciful One and have received from Him the grace of healing, / O Passion-bearer and Martyr of Christ God; / by your prayers, heal our spiritual infirmities, / always driving away the temptations of the Enemy / from those who cry unceasingly: “Save us, O Lord.”

Venerable Anthousa the Confessor

Troparion — Tone 8

By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, / and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. / By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe! / O our holy mother Anthusa, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!

Saint Clement of Ochrid, Equal of the Apostles, Bishop of Greater Macedonia, and his companions Nahum, Savva, Gorazd and Angelar

Troparion — Tone 4

In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; / your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father Clement, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
