The Fourth Day of the Month of September

Menologion

Troparion of the Mother of God Tone 1

The miracle that Moses saw on Sinai in the burning bush/ foretold thy Virgin Childbearing, O pure Virgin./ We faithful cry to thee: Rejoice truly living bush,/ rejoice holy mountain,/ rejoice sanctified place,/ most holy Mother of God.

Troparion of the Prophet Moses Tone 2

Thou didst ascend to the summit of virtues,/ O holy Prophet Moses./ Thou wast granted to see the glory of God,/ to receive the tablets of the Law,/ and to bear grace within thee./ Thou wast the joy of the Prophets/ and a guide to piety.

Troparion of Hieromartyr Babylas Tone 4

O Babylas husbandman of righteousness,/ thou didst cut down the thorns of error./ With the radiance of thy priesthood and reddened by the streams of thy blood/ thou wast presented to Christ crying out:/ Here am I and Thy children O Jesus: graciously receive us.

Kontakion of the Prophet Moses Tone 2

The company of the Prophets rejoices with Moses and Aaron;/ their prophecy is fulfilled/ as the Cross whereby Thou hast saved us shines forth./ Save our souls by their prayers, O Christ our God.

Kontakion of Hieromartyr Babylas Tone 4

Thou didst treasure in thine heart the mysteries of the faith/ without fearing the tyrant/ O Hieromartyr Babylas, servant of Christ, preserve us.
