Prayer to St. Vladimir
Holy Prince Vladimir, you were like a merchant in search of fine pearls. By sending servants to Constantinople, you found Christ, the priceless pearl. He appointed you to be another Paul, washing away in baptism your physical and spiritual blindness. We celebrate your memory, asking you to pray for us, your spiritual Children.

FEAST OF ST. VLADIMIR AND TONE 8
Troparion:
You came down from on high, O Merciful One, and accepted three days of burial to free us from our sufferings. O Lord, our life and our resurrection, glory be to You!
You resembled the merchant who sought the pearl of great price, O Vladimir, glorious in might: seated on the throne of Kiev, the divinely-saved mother of the cities of Rus’, as a seeker you sent envoys to the Imperial City to know the orthodox faith, and found Christ the pearl, who chose you as another Paul, and removed your blindness both spiritual and bodily in the holy font. Therefore we, your people feast your falling asleep. Pray that the leaders of Rus’ be saved with those entrusted to them.
Kontakion:
When You rose from the tomb, You also raised the dead and resurrected Adam. Eve exults in Your resurrection, and the ends of the world celebrate Your rising from the dead, O most merciful One.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
You emulated Paul the great apostle, O glorious Vladimir; late in life you abandoned your zeal for idols as childish thinking, and as a full-grown man you were adorned with divine baptism’s royal purple. Standing with joy in the presence of Christ the Savior, pray that the leaders of Rus may be saved with those entrusted to them.
To you, O Mother of God, the invincible leader, we, your servants, ascribe these victory hymns in thanksgiving for our deliverance from evil. With your invincible power free us from all dangers, that we may cry out to you: “Hail, O bride, and pure Virgin!”
Prokeimenon:
Sing to our God, sing; sing to our King, sing.
Verse:
Clap your hands, all you nations; shout unto God with the voice of joy.
Alleluia verses:
I have exalted one chosen from among My people.
Indeed, My hand shall sustain him, and My arm shall make him strong.
Communion Verse:The just man shall be in everlasting remembrance; of evil hearsay he shall have no fear. Alleluia (3X)
Epistle (1Cor 3:9-17)
A reading from the First Epistle of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Corinthians:
Brethren: We are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field, God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must be careful how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, the work of each will come to light, for the Day will disclose it. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire [itself] will test the quality of each one’s work. If the work stands that someone built upon the foundation, that person will receive a wage. But if someone’s work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved, but only as through fire. Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God, which you are, is holy.
Gospel: (Mt 14:22-34)
At that time, Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. “It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried out in fear. At once he [Jesus] spoke to them,” Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how [strong] the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.” After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret.
