Make ready, O Zebulon, and prepare thyself, Nephthali./ River Jordan, stop flowing and leap for joy at the Lord's coming for Baptism./ Rejoice, O Adam, with our first mother;/ hide not yourself as in Paradise of old./ For seeing us naked He has appeared,/ to clothe us with our first garment./ Christ has appeared, to renew the whole of creation.
Troparion of the PROPHET MALACHI — Tone 2
We celebrate the memory / of Your prophet Malachi, O Lord; / through him we beseech You: / “Save our souls.”
Apolytikion of the PROPHET MALACHI — Plagal Tone 1
Bearing the name of the Angels, O glorious Malachi, thou didst live the angelic life on earth, thou summit of the Prophets. Thou didst mysteriously converse with Angels, and wast filled with divine glory, and dost set forth knowledge of things to come, that we may be enlightened in soul.
ΠΡΟΦΉΤΗΣ ΜΑΛΑΧΊΑΣ Ἀπολυτίκιο — Ἦχος πλ. Α’. Τὸν συνάναρχον Λόγον
Ἀγγελώνυμον κλῆσιν πλουτήσας ἔνδοξε, ἀγγελομίμητον βίον ἐπολιτεύσω ἐν γῇ, Μαλαχία Προφητῶν τὸ ἀκροθίνιον· ὅθεν Ἀγγέλους ἐαχηκώς, συλλαλοῦντας νοερῶς, ἐπλήσθης ἀΰλου δόξης, καὶ τῶν μελλόντων τὴν γνῶσιν, διατυποῖς πρὸς φωτισμὸν ἡμῶν.
Troparion of ST GORDIUS — Tone 4
Your holy martyr Gordius, O Lord, / through his suffering has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through his intercessions, save our souls!
Apolytikion of ST GORDIUS — Tone 4
Inflamed with zeal for the faith, of thine own free will thou didst hasten to the stadium and rejoice in the contest there. Thou didst quench the flames of evil in the streams of thy blood by beheading, O Champion; wherefore the Life-giver has glorified thee, O Gordius.
Ἅγιος ΓΌΡΔΙΟΣ Ἀπολυτίκιο — Ἠχὸς δ’. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε
Τῷ ζήλῳ τῆς πίστεως, πυρποληθεὶς τὴν ψυχήν, αὐτόκλητος ὥρμησας, ἐν τῷ σταδίῳ σοφέ, καὶ χαίρων ἠγώνισαι· ὅθεν τοῖς ἐξ αὐχένος, ὀχετοῖς τῶν αἱμάτων, ἔσβεσας Ἀθλοφόρε, τῆς κακίας τὴν φλόγα· διό σε ὁ Ζωοδότης, Γόρδιε ἐδόξασε.
Troparion of Ss FINTAN and FINLUGH ― Tone 1
Being brothers both in the flesh and in the Faith
O honoured Fintan and Finlugh,
you served our Saviour in your native land
winning souls for Him by feats of ascetic piety.
Cease not your love for men,
praying that our souls may also be saved.
Troparion of ST GENEVIÈVE — Tone 1
Shepherds who tended their flocks once beheld Christ our Savior; and thou, O godly maiden, as a shepherdess pure of heart, didst worship the Great Shepherd of the reason-endowed sheep. Fend off the wolves that come in sheep's clothing to devour us, and in thy love lead us to the pastures of heaven, O venerable mother Geneviève.
Troparion of ST GENEVIÈVE — Tone 1
O Shepherdess who guardest the sheep at Nanterre against the horde of wolves and the Scourge of God, / thou dost protect the city of the Parisians. / O St Genevieve, do not forget to guard thy spiritual sheep even now, / from heaven where thou livest after death.
Apolytikion of ST GENEVIÈVE — Plagal Fourth 4
Through thee the divine likeness was securely preserved, O Mother Genevieve; for thou didst carry the cross and followed Christ. By example and precept thou didst teach us to ignore the body because it is perishable, and to attend to the concerns of the undying soul. Therefore, doth thy soul rejoice with the angels.
Apolytikion of ST THOMAÏS of Lesbos — Tone 4
The troubles of your life, as a rational offering, you offered to Christ, and the power of your miracles, O Venerable one, shined forth. Therefore as a a divine example of marriage, we sing praises to you O Thomais, and faithfully cry out: Rejoice revered ornament of the island of Lesvos.
Ὁσία ΘΩΜΑΐΣ ἐΚ ΛΈΣΒΟΥ Ἀπολυτίκιο — Ἦχος δ'. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε
Τάς θλίψεις τοῦ βίου σου, ὡς προσφορὰν λογικήν, Χριστῷ προσενένκασα, τὴν τῶν θαυμάτων ἰσχύν, Ὁσία, ἀντείληφας. Ὅθεν ὡς συζυγίας, ὑποτύπωσιν θείαν, μέλπομεν Θωμαΐς σε, καὶ πιστῶς σοι βοῶμεν Χαῖρε τῆς νήσου Λέσβου, σεμνὸν ἐγκαλλώπισμα.

The Lord cried to John in the running waters of Jordan:/ Be not afraid to baptize Me,/ for I have come to save Adam, the first-formed man.
Kontakion of ST GORDIUS — Tone 8 “The universe offers You...”
Holy Gordius, the earth has received the sweat of your labors; / the blood you shed has made the universe rejoice. / Save by your prayers those who sing of your glory in faith, / fittingly honoring you, divine and glorious martyr, worthy of all praise.
Kontakion of ST GORDIUS — Plagal Tone 4
The whole earth hast thou watered with thy sweat and toils, O glorious one, and hast made all the world glad with thy precious blood, O godly-minded Gordius. By thine earnest entreaties, O famed Martyr, save all them that sing thy praise in faith and worthily revere thee as one that hath truly suffered much.
Ἅγιος ΓΌΡΔΙΟΣ Κοντάκιον — Ἦχος πλ. δ. Ὡς ἀπαρχὰς τῆς φύσεως
Οἱ σοὶ ἱδρῶτες ἔνδοξε, τὴν πᾶσαν γῆν κατήρδευσαν, καὶ τοῖς τιμίοις σου αἵμασι Γόρδιε, τὸν κόσμον ἅπαντα εὔφρανας· ταῖς εὐχαῖς σου θεόφρον, σῶσον πάντας τοὺς πίστει σε ἀναμέλποντας, καὶ τιμῶντας ἀξίως, πανεύφημε ὡς πολύαθλον.
Kontakion of Ss FINTAN and FINLUGH
By the mercy of our God thy miraculous well still bestows the blessing of healing on those who come in faith, O Father Fintan. Telling the spiritual waters of thy unshakable faith we sing thy praises, together with thy brother Finlugh, and we rejoice in your glory.

O Malachi enriched with the gift of prophecy, thou didst openly foretell Christ's coming and the world's salvation. His splendour illumines the universe.

Τῆς σοφίας ἔμπλεως, τῆς ὑπερσόφου καὶ θείας, Μαλαχία μέγιστε, σὺ πεφυκὼς ὡς Προφήτης, ἄνωθεν, αὐτὸν τὸν ὄντα Θεοῦ σοφίαν, ἔδειξας, τοῖς πᾶσι κάτω ἀναστραφέντα· διὰ τοῦτό σε τιμῶμεν, τελοῦντες πίστει τὴν θείαν μνήμην σου.
Kontakion of ST GENEVIÈVE — Tone 2
Out of love for the Lord thou didst suppress the desire to rest, O venerable Geneviève, making thy spirit radiant through abstinence. Wherefore, thou didst tame wild beasts by thy power, and by thy supplications thou didst put down the uprisings of the enemy.
Kontakion of ST THOMAÏS of Lesbos — Tone 4
You bore much pain and maltreatment, all-wondrous Thomais, with strength in Christ; wherefore you were worthily glorified and received the crown of the Saints.

Having quite the material army, and being mightily armed in a heavenly way, you overpowered the opposition in battle, as an armed soldier of Christ, glorious Gordius.
Ἅγιος ΓΌΡΔΙΟΣ Μεγαλυνάριον
Ἔλιπες στρατείαν τὴν ὑλικήν, καὶ τῇ οὐρανίῳ, πανοπλίᾳ ὀχυρωθεὶς, τὰς ἀντικειμένας, καθεῖλες παρατάξεις, ὡς τοῦ Χριστοῦ ὁπλίτης, ἔνδοξε Γόρδιε.
ΠΡΟΦΉΤΗΣ ΜΑΛΑΧΊΑΣ Μεγαλυνάριον
Θείας ἐμφανείας ἀγγελικῆς, κατηξιωμένος, ὡς τῷ βίῳ διαπρεπής, ὤφθης προσημάντωρ, τῶν ἱερῶν κριμάτων, Προφῆτα Μαλαχία, Ἀγγέλων σύσκηνε.
