Sunday of the Paralytic, Troparion, Tone V —
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling on death by death, and on those in the tombs bestowing life.
Kontakion, Tone III —
By Thy divine presence, O Lord, raise my soul which is terribly paralyzed by
all kinds of sins and misguided actions, as of old Thou didst raise the
paralytic, that saved I may cry to Thee: O compassionate Christ, glory to Thy
power.
Troparion of the Sunday, Tone III —
Let the heavens rejoice, / let the earth be glad! / For the Lord has shown might with His arm,/
He has trampled down death by death. / He has become the first-born of the dead. / He has
delivered us from the depths of hell, / and has granted the world great mercy!
Hymn to the Theotokos, Tone III —
We praise you as the mediatrix of our salvation, / O Virgin Theotokos. / For your Son, our
God, Who took flesh from you, / accepted the passion of the cross, / delivering us from
corruption as the Lover of man.
Kontakion of the Sunday, Tone III —
On this day Thou didst rise from the tomb, O Merciful One, / leading us from the gates of
death. / On this day Adam exults as Eve rejoices; / with the prophets and patriarchs they
unceasingly praise / the divine majesty of Thy power!
St. Theodore Trichinas —
No Troparion is given in the Menaion.
Kontakion, Tone TV, "Thou hast appeared today..." —
Thou hast been shown to be all-wondrous in life, O wise father Theodore, and
changing thy rags of haircloth, which are more precious than royal treasure on
earth, in their place thou didst receive heavenly vesture. Pray thou ever in our
behalf, O venerable one.
St. Anastasius, abbot of Sinai, Troparion, Tone VIII —
With the streams of thy tears thou didst irrigate the barren desert,/ and
with sighs from the depths of thy soul thou didst render thy labors fruitful an
hundredfold./ Thou wast a beacon for the whole world, radiating miracles.// O
our father Anastasius, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved.
Kontakion, in Tone II —
Come ye, with hymns let us now bless the namesake of the Resurrection, the
hesychast of Sinai, for emulating Moses the God-seer, thou didst ascend the
sacred mountain, that thou mightest obey the divine voice and have the law of
grace divinely engraved upon the tablets of thine heart. Wherefore, praising him
as an initiate of the mysteries of God and emulator of the angels, a champion of
Orthodoxy and divinely wise instructor of monks, let us cry out with heartfelt
love: Rejoice, O Anastasius, thou boast of Sinai!
