wherefore Entreat Him so that our
souls may be Saved.
Holy Martyrs, You were shown to be
Spiritual Luminaries, for, by Faith,
You ended the fogginess of error,
You Brightened the Lamps of our
soul, and with Glory, You entered
the Celestial Bridal Chamber ith the
Bridegroom. Now we pray You to
Entreat Him to Save our soul.
God is Wondrous in His Saints .
Your Strong Faith as Martys You
have become ever Radiant Torches
for all the world, for You placed
Your every Hope in our Lord Who
enabled You. You kept Your soul,
like Lamps lit with the Spiritual Oil
of the All Holy Spirit, O Martyrs,
extolled by all. Wherefore, You are
also known as Spiritual Wine Bowls
that serve as Beverages Cures and
Healings to all mankind, O Enite
Victorious Athletes. Intercede with
Christ our God, so that He may grant
Forgiveness of offences to those who
with yearning, observe Your Holy
Memory.
To the Saints on His Earth: in them the
Lord Magnified all His Will.
When They had deadened burning
impulses and movements of sinful
passions by Their Self-control and
Virtue, the Martyrs of Christ were
granted Divine Grace to drive away
the illnesses of the ailing and to
work Wonders, both while alive and
after their Repose. Paradoxical
Miracle it is indeed, that naked
bones should pour out Cures
abundantly. ✞ Glory to our Only
God!
