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.

The Myrrh-Streaming Icon

In 1982 Chilean convert Joseph Jose Muñoz – accompanied by two friends from Canada – made a pilgrimage to the ancient stronghold of Orthodox monasticism – Mount Athos.

Being by profession a teacher in arts, painting, and iconography [icon-painting], he wanted to visit some sketes (small monastic communities, belonging to one of the 20 monasteries of Mount Athos) as well as monasteries, which specialize in icon-painting.

One of the companion friends who accompanied Jose even decided to become a monk and remained on Mount Athos, at one of the small sketes; Jose and his other companion [Fr. A] went on to the Danilov skete, where icons were painted in the ancient Byzantine style, using the technique of egg tempera.

After an eight-hour ascension of the Mount on a difficult terrain, they were very tired and decided to stay at a skete they saw below, on the slope of the mountain [hill] itself. This skete – dedicated to Christ's Nativity – was very poor and his 14 monks sticked to a rather strict monastic rules. The Abbot – Fr. Clement, warmly welcomed the travelers and offered the traditional Athonite hospitality. He invited them to see the skete's iconographic studio. Just as Jose entered the studio he felt the indescribable splendor of the copy of the Iberon Icon of Theotokos that was hanging on one of the skete walls.

A Prayer Before Communion
by St Dimitry of Rostov


Open, O doors and bolts of my heart
that Christ the King of Glory may enter!
Enter, O my Light and enlighten my darkness;
enter, O my Life, and resurrect my deadness;
enter, O my Physician and heal my wounds;
enter, O Divine Fire, and burn up the thorns of my sins;
ignite my inward parts and my heart with the flame of Thy love;
enter, O my King, and destroy in me the kingdom of sin;
sit on the throne of my heart and [You] alone reign in me,
O Thou, my King and Lord.
