VESPERS PROPERS FOR AUGUST 3RD, 2020 from the Menaion 1Our venerable fathers Isaac, Dalmatus, and Faustus. Dalmatus was an officer in the Roman army who abandoned all and entered the monastery where Isaac was abbot. His only son, Faustus, entered with him. Dalmatus followed Isaac as hegumen of the monastery, and took part in the Third Ecumenical Council (431), battling against the Nestorian heresy. (5th century) The holy Salome the Myrrh-Bearer. Mother of the holy Apostles James and John, the wife of Zebedee, she served the Lord during his earthly life, and was made worthy to be among the first bearers of the tidings of his resurrrection. Day of Alleluia Tone 8 Psalm 140 Psalm 140 (Tone 8) # & œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ ˙ œ œ ˙ ˙ œ O Lord, I have cried to you, hearœ #œ me.˙ Hear me, O Lord! O # & œ W œ ˙ œ œ ˙ œ œ W œ œ Lord, I have cried to you, hear me; re - ceive the voice of my pray'r when I # & œ œ ˙ œ #œ ˙ œ œ nœ œ œ œ call up - onœ #œ you.˙ Hearœ me, O Lord!w Let my # & œ W œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ ˙ œ œ ˙ pray'r ascend to you like in - -œ #-œ cense˙ and the lift - ing up of my hands # & ˙ œ œ œ ˙ œ œ ˙ œ ˙ œ #œ ˙ œ œ nœ œ w like an eve-ning sac - ri - fice. Hear me, O Lord! Continue with Psalm 140: "O Lord, set a guard before my mouth..." (p.9).

O Lord, set aSticher guard beforea at the my Lamplighting mouth Psalms and set a seal on the door of my lips. 3 stichera for the Mother of God, because of the day of Alleluia, from the Menaion: Let not my heart be inclined to evil, nor make excuses for sins I commit. 1 Let me never share in sinners' feasting. If a just man strikes or reproves me it is kindness

but let the oil of the wicked not anoint my head. Let my prayer be ever against their malice.

The princes were thrown down by the side of the rock; then they understood that my words were kind.

As a millstone is shattered to pieces on the ground, so their bones were strewn at the mouth of the grave.
