Troparion
Synaxis of the Archangel Michael, Commander of the Heavenly Host,
Troparion, Tone IV —
Supreme commanders of the armies of Heaven,/ we, the unworthy, do ever
entreat you,/ that by your prayers ye ever surround us/ with the protection of
the wings of your immaterial glory,/ preserving us that earnestly fall down
before you and cry aloud:/ Deliver us from misfortunes,// in that ye are the
leaders of the hosts on high.
Kontakion, in Tone II —
O ye chief commanders of God,/ ministers of glory divine, captains of the
angels and instructors of men:/ beg ye great mercy and that which is profitable
for us,/ for ye are the supreme commanders of the bodiless hosts.
Another Troparion, Tone IV —
O Commanders of the heavenly hosts,/ We who are unworthy beseech you:/ By
your prayers encompass us/ Beneath the wings of your immaterial glory,/ And
faithfully preserve us who fall down and cry out to you:// Deliver us from all
harm, For you are the commanders of the powers on high!
Another Kontakion, in Tone IV —
O Commanders of God's armies and ministers of the divine glory,/ Princes of
the bodiless angels and guides of men;/ Ask for what is good for us,/ And for
great mercy,// O Supreme commanders of the bodiless hosts.
