Commemoration of Our Venerable Father Bede of Jarrow
Composed by Reader Isaac Lambertson
Troparion, in Tone VIII
Throughout the dark years of thy times, O Bede, thou didst water the English lands and all the West with outpourings of grace; and like a skilled sower thou didst cast the seed of divine knowledge far and wide over the fields of thy Master, where, springing forth, it hath borne fruit for Him an hundredfold. Wherefore, having thus acquired boldness before Him, O venerable one, pray thou unceasingly that our souls be saved.
At the Liturgy
Prokimenon, in Tone VII
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
Stichos: What shall I render unto the Lord for all that He hath rendered unto me?
EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS, § 213 [Gal. 5: 22-6:2]
Brethren: The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Alleluia, in Tone VI
Stichos: Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord; in His commandments shall he greatly delight.
Stichos: His seed shall be mighty upon the earth.
GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE, § 24 [LK. 6: 17-23]
At that time, Jesus stood in the plain, and the company of His disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judæa and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch Him: for there went virtue out of Him, and healed them all. And He lifted up His eyes on His disciples, and said: Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.. Blessed are ye who hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye who weep now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven.
Communion Verse
In everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be; he shall not be afraid of evil tidings.
Tropaire de saint Bède le Vénérable, ton 8
Tout au long des noires années de ton temps, Ô Bède,
Tu abreuvas les terres anglaises et de tout l'Occident avec les torrents de la Grâce;
Et tel un semeur habile, tu répandis la semence de la divine connaissance,
Bien loin dans les champs de ton Maître, où partout elle germa et Lui rapporta du fruit au centuple.
Aussi, Ô Vénérable, puisque tu as acquis crédit auprès du Christ,
prie sans cesse afin que nos âmes soient sauvées.
Kondakion de saint Bède le Vénérable, ton 8
Ô Vénérable Bède, tu fus comme un radieux luminaire éclairant tout depuis la Northumbrie,
Répandant la lumière de la connaissance divine sur les royaumes des Anglais,
Et éclairant de ta divine sagesse toutes les terres d'Occident.
Dès lors le Christ ton Maître t'a accordé de riches récompenses en Paradis,
Où tu demeure éternellement dans l'allégresse avec les saints et les Anges.
