Propers & Hymns - Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost - August 12, 2012

Propers, hymns and hymn selection (order of worship) for the Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost - August 12, 2012 - are available on the For the Faithful resource page.

Sunday is also a Post-festive Day of the Transfiguration (i.e. falls in the octave of a Solemn Feast of Our Lord), so the propers will be carried over from the Feast, as explained below.

Epistle - 1st Corinthians 9:2-12
Gospel - Matthew 18:23-35

Tone of the week = Tone 2

As a reminder, for a Sunday in the octave of a Feast of Our Lord:

• the special First and Second Antiphons from the Feast Day propers are chanted;
• the Third Antiphon and the Entrance Hymn are the same as Sunday, except that the phrase "risen from the dead" is substituted with a phrase reflective of the feast - "transfigured on the Mount" in this instance;
• the Troparion and Kontakion of the feast are taken in place of the Kontakion for Sunday, immediately after the Troparion for Sunday in the tone of the week (Tone 2);
• the Prokeimenon and Alleluia for the Feast are taken together with the Prokeimenon and Alleluia for Sunday in the tone of the week (Tone 2); and,
• a Magnification & Irmos are chanted instead of It is truly proper (Dostojno jest') - please note that we will take the Samopodoben melody (on pgs. 349-350) instead of the "simple setting".

Also, we will once again sign the para-liturgical hymn, On Mount Tabor (Na Tavori Preobrazivsja), during the Great Incensation before the Divine Liturgy (included with the propers for this Sunday) - just in case you missed it on Monday! ;)

As always, the reference sheet posted on the For the Faithful resource page can guide you through it. You should be able to print a copy and bring it to the Divine Liturgy, if you wish.

Hope to see you Sunday morning!
