Read Psalm 115
The Beheading of the Holy Glorious Prophet, Forerunner, and Baptist John - Troparion & Kontakion
Commemorated on August 29
Troparion — Tone 2
The memory of the righteous is celebrated with hymns of praise, / but the Lord’s testimony is sufficient for you, O Forerunner. / You were shown in truth to be the most honorable of the prophets, / for you were deemed worthy to baptize in the streams of the Jordan Him whom they foretold. / Therefore, having suffered for the truth with joy, / you proclaimed to those in hell God who appeared in the flesh, / who takes away the sin of the world, / and grants us great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 5
The glorious beheading of the Forerunner, / became an act of divine dispensation, / for he preached to those in hell the coming of the Savior. / Let Herodias lament, for she entreated lawless murder, / loving not the law of God, nor eternal life, / but that which is false and temporal.
Let us also pray for captives and their salvation, especially for Americans and Britons stranded in Afghanistan, and for the political prisoners of January 6 imprisoned in the brutal DC jail.
Dear Lord, we beseech thee to purge the monstrous Satanic evil that has seized control of our institutions and government ! Bring these evil individuals to justice ! Strike down these wicked individuals and institutions that blatantly and audaciously lie to the public about their true (evil) intentions while painting good people as the real enemy !
Do not let these servants of darkness prevail over your children ! Send forth your angels to liberate us, oh, Lord ! Hear our cries and help us, please, dear Lord !
AMEN !
An ardent amen to your prayer for our soldiers, widows and Gold star families
Amen!
Amen
May we draw strength and wisdom from Your Word.
Amen to your Beautiful Scriptures and Prayer, Dear Servant of Jesus Christ.
Praying with you in Heartfelt Agreement.
