The Lord, our Resurrection and life -

Temporal

Translated from Bulgarian

[The Lord, our Resurrection and life,] offers us redemption [from vainglory, selfishness, pride, pique (self-respect), etc.] and [offers us] freedom, and teaches us proper behavior :

— forbearing one another in love [Eph. 4:2],

— Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again [Luc. 6:30],

— Love your enemies… and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you [Matt. 5:44],

— Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them [Matt. 7:12],

and

— Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not [Rom. 12:14].

Рассказ о посещении Болгарии Иверской-Монреальской мироточивой иконой Божией Матери в 1995 г.

Тропарь, глас 4.

Днесь храмъ Слова Божiя въ храмъ нашъ прiиде,
и мы, трепещуще благоговенiемъ,
святую икону Твою, Богородице, лобызаемъ,
очи же нашя съ надеждою къ ней устремляемъ
и слезъ Твоихъ благоуханiемъ
умиленнiи, благодаримъ Тя,
Мати наша всеблагая.

Кондак, глас тойже.

Покаянiя проповедницу зримъ икону Твою, Царице Небесная, и притекающе усердно къ ней, моленiе теплое сiе возносимъ Тебе: буди намъ Хранительница неотступная, и покрый отъ всякаго зла честнымъ омофоромъ Твоимъ душы любящихъ Тя.

/a sorry attempt/

Troparion, Tone 4.

Today the Temple of God's Word is come into ourtemple,
and we, trembling with veneration,
kiss Thy holy icon, Oh Theotokos,
rush our eyes in hope at it
and the fragrant tears of
Thy compassion, we thank Thee,
Mother of ours most-sweet.

Kontakion, same Tone.

Oh, lady Preacher of repentance, we contemplate Your icon, Queen of Heaven,
and rushing and bowing in zeal to it, we offer up warm supplications to Thee:
be for us a relentless Keeper, and cover against all evil –
with the honorable omophor of Thine – the souls who love Thee.
