From infancy Thou were consumed with
wholehearted Love for Christ the
Bridegroom, O Virtuous Maiden. So
Thou ran to Him, like a thirsty
gazelle to ever-flowing Springs, and
Thou preserved Thyself in the
Contest, and as a Glorious Bride
Thou reached the truly Eternal
Chamber of Thy Creator, decorated,
adorned, crowned, glowing as a
torch-bearing Victor; and Thou were
awarded as if with a gold medal, as
Victor in the Martyric Games.
On the 17th day of this month we
Commemorate the Holy Great
Martyr, St Marina of Antioch,
Pisidia.
this day we Commemorate the
Holy Martyrs St Speraton and St
Veronica.
By their Holy Intercessions, O God,
have mercy on us.
Amen

JOYFULLY PRAISING HER MIRACLES
ODE 3 OMother of God, Thou living
and plentiful Fount, grant strength
to those united in Spiritual
Fellowship, who sing Hymns of
Praise to Thee: and in Thy Divine

ODE 4 the Unsearchable
Purpose of God concerning Thine
Incarnation from a Virgin, O Most
High, the Prophet Habakkuk cried:
Glory to Thy Power, O Lord!
ODE 5 The whole world was amazed
at Thy Divine Glory: for Thou, O
Virgin, Who has not known wedlock,
has been Translated from earth to
the Eternal Mansions to the Life
without end, bestowing Salvation
upon all who sing Thy praises.
