On the eighteenth of this month we commemorate the holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke.
Apolitikion
O holy Apostle and Evangelist
Luke, make intercession to our merciful God,
that He grant our souls
forgiveness of offenses.
Kontakion
A disciple you became of the divine
Word. And with Paul, the chosen one, you
led the world into the light and drove the
darkness of ignorance away by writing the
Gospel of Christ our God.
Oikos
As a beloved physician and disciple, O
Luke, with mystical surgery heal the passions
of my soul and body alike, and grant
me to enjoy complete health.
May I joyously honor your solemn feast, and
shower your holy and all‐honored body
with tears instead of perfume. For it is an
engraved monument of life in the
marvelous church of the Apostles, and it
proclaims to all, as you did before when you
wrote it, the Gospel of Christ our God.
Τῇ ΙΗ' τοῦ αὐτοῦ μηνός, Μνήμη τοῦ Ἁγίου Ἀποστόλου καί Εὐαγγελιστοῦ Λουκᾶ.
ΑΠΟΛΥΤΙΚΙΟΝ
Ἀπόστολε Ἅγιε, καὶ Εὐαγγελιστὰ
Λουκᾶ, πρέσβευε τῷ ἐλεήμονι Θεῷ,
ἵνα πταισμάτων ἄφεσιν, παράσχῃ
ταῖς ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν.
ΚΟΝΤΑΚΙΟΝ
Μαθητὴς γενόμενος τοῦ Θεοῦ
Λόγου, σὺν τῷ Παύλῳ ἅπασαν,
ἐφωταγώγησας τὴν γῆν, καὶ τὴν ἀχλὺν
ἀπεδίωξας, τὸ θεῖον γράψας, Χριστοῦ
Εὐαγγέλιον.
ΟΙΚΟΣ
Ὡς ἰατρὸς καὶ μαθητὴς Λουκᾶ ἠγαπημένος,
μυστικῇ χειρουργίᾳ τὰ πάθη
τῆς ψυχῆς μου, καὶ τὰ τοῦ σώματος ὁμοῦ
ἴασαι, καὶ δὸς μοι κατὰ πάντα εὐεκτεῖν,
καὶ σοῦ τὴν παναοίδιμον γηθόμενος
γεραίρειν πανήγυριν, ὄμβροις τε δακρύων,
ἀντὶ μύρων τὸ σεπτόν σου καὶ
πάντιμον σῶμα καταβρέχειν· ὡς στήλη
γὰρ ζωῆς ἐγγεγραμμένη τῷ ναῷ τῷ
θαυμαστῷ τῶν Ἀποστόλων πᾶσιν
ἐκφώνει, καθάπερ καὶ σὺ τὸ πρῶτον, τὸ
θεῖον γράψας Χριστοῦ Εὐαγγέλιον.
