Akolouthia
for
Our Father among the Saints
RAPHAEL
Bishop of Brooklyn
“Good Shepherd of the Lost Sheep in America”
(November 8,
1860 - February 27, 1915)
The
major commemoration of Saint Raphael is observed on the Saturday before the
Synaxis of the Bodiless Powers of Heaven (November 8), which means that it
may fall between November 1 and 7. It
is celebrated as a Vigil Rank commemoration.
On Friday Evening
At Little Vespers
Lord, I have cried in the second tone, with four to the
melody When he took thee.
4.
From the morning watch until night, from the morning watch let Israel
hope in the Lord.
Let
all the choirs of Orthodox Christians sing hymns in honor of the holy
hierarch Raphael, the first to be consecrated in the New World.
True to his name, he bringeth God’s healing to us as we celebrate
his holy memory.
3. For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption;
and he shall redeem Israel out of all his iniquities.
Let
all the choirs of Orthodox Christians …
2.
O praise the Lord, all ye nations; praise him, all ye peoples.
As
the Archangel Raphael guided Tobit in a foreign land long ago, the holy
hierarch Raphael kept his flock on the true path in a land far from their
homes. Always imitating the
Good Shepherd, he fed his many sheep from a table which the Lord prepared in
the presence of their enemies. So
now, nourished by his teaching and example, we pray that he continue to
intercede for us with Christ our God.
1.
For he hath made his mercy to prevail over us, and the truth of the Lord
abideth for ever.
Let
us sing hymns of praise to the holy hierarch Raphael, who shone forth from
Brooklyn and enlightened those in darkness.
To those who were wounded by sin, he brought healing in Christ; to
those who were deceived, he brought the truth of Orthodoxy; he gathered his
scattered sheep safely into the fold of the Church.
Therefore, we praise him as a worthy hierarch and a citizen of
heaven.
Glory
in the sixth (plagal
of the second) tone.
O
thrice-blessed Raphael, having received grace from God, thou didst let thy
light shine so brightly in the New World that all of those who had been in
darkness gave glory to our Father in heaven.
Do thou intercede for the salvation of our souls.
Both now and the theotokion in the same tone.
O
Theotokos, thou art the true vine that hath blossomed forth the Fruit of
life. Thee do we supplicate:
Intercede, O Lady, together with the Apostles and all the Saints that our
souls find mercy.
The
aposticha in the sixth (plagal of the second) tone.
Thou
wast a guardian and a defender of the Church’s teachings, thou didst
protect thy flock from false doctrines and confirmed them in the true faith. O holy father Raphael, son of Syria and glory of North
America, do thou now intercede that our souls may be saved.
Thy
priests shall be clothed with righteousness, and thy righteous shall
rejoice.
O
holy hierarch Raphael, thou didst work out thine own salvation by laboring
for the salvation of thy flock. Teaching
thy rational sheep that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, thou
didst elevate their minds from the cares of this life to the contemplation
of heaven. Do thou now
intercede that our souls may be saved.
The
righteous man shall flourish like a palm tree, and like a cedar in Lebanon
shall he be multiplied.
In
order to strengthen thy spiritual children in the Orthodox Faith, thou didst
bless that the divine services of the Church be prayed in the language of
their adopted homeland. Do thou
now intercede that our souls may be saved.
Glory
and
Both now and
the theotokion in the same tone.
O
believers, let us extol together with the Archangels the heavenly bridal
chamber and the gate that was truly sealed, saying: ‘Rejoice, O Maiden,
through whom to us hath sprouted forth the Saviour of all, Christ God, the
Giver of life. Strike down our
enemies with thine hand, O immaculate Lady, thou hope of all Christians.’
The
apolytikion in the third tone.
Rejoice,
O Father Raphael, adornment of the holy Church!
Thou art champion of the True Faith, seeker of the lost, consolation
of the oppressed, father to orphans and friend of the poor, peacemaker and
good shepherd, joy of all the Orthodox, son of Antioch, boast of America. Intercede with Christ God for us and for all who honor thee.
At
Great Vespers
The
1st stasis of the 1st kathisma of the Psalter (Psalms
1-3) Blessed is the man.
Lord, I
have cried
in the first tone, with six to the melody What
a marvelous wonder.
6.
If thou shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, O Lord, who shall stand?
For with thee there is forgiveness.
O
holy Father Raphael, thou didst incarnate the love of Christ Jesus from thy
youth, O son of the Church of Antioch sent to America.
Not being concerned with thine own ease, thou wast Apostle to the
lost sheep of Syria. From holy
Russia thou didst come, traveling from east to the west and from the north
to south, and didst give thyself no repose, but labored night and day.
As thou hast boldness before God, intercede with Him to save our
souls.
5.
For thy Name’s sake have I patiently waited for thee, O Lord; my soul
hath waited patiently for thy word, my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
O
holy Father Raphael …
4.
From the morning watch until night, from the morning watch let Israel
hope in the Lord.
Thou
didst conduct thine affairs like a good shepherd, traveling by land and sea.
Thou didst cross plains and mountains, and didst roam near and far in
search of Christ’s lost sheep. To
bind their wounds with thy fatherly and Christ-like love, and carry them in
thine arms, and reunite them to the holy flock of Christ, thou didst bear
the heat and labor of day, and the chill and length of night. As thou hast
boldness before God, intercede with Him to save our souls.
3.
For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption;
and he shall redeem Israel out of all his iniquities.
Thou
didst conduct thine affairs …
2.
O praise the Lord, all ye nations; praise him, all ye peoples.
Orthodox
believers found in thee, O good shepherd Raphael, sustenance for their souls
and admonition for the lost and a defense against their foes.
Thou didst not view the obstacles, but kept thine eyes upon the prize
and high call of God. While counting all things as naught, thou didst suffer loss
in order to find Christ. Offering
up thy life for thy flock, thou art now glorified. As thou hast boldness
before God, intercede with Him to save our souls.
1.
For he hath made his mercy to prevail over us, and the truth of the Lord
abideth for ever.
Orthodox
believers found in thee …
Glory in the sixth (plagal of the second) tone.
Thy
children praise thee, O equal to the Apostles, wise hierarch of the Church
of God in America, uniter of the Orthodox world, proclaimer of the Truth,
defender of the oppressed, and the guardian of the Faith, O our father and
hierarch Raphael. Among the
highborn thou didst behave with dignity, and among the lowly thou didst show
thyself lowly, having in thyself the gentleness of Christ.
Thou wast a refuge from both darkness and anguish, offering direction
and never overlooking a call for help, and never showing respect of persons.
Thou didst exhaust thyself on behalf of thy flock, giving to thyself
no repose and caring not for the flesh, thinking only of thy people’s
needs. As thou now dost stand
with the Angels and Archangels, O holy Raphael, never cease to intercede
with Christ God for the welfare of the Church and the salvation of our
souls.
Both now and the dogmatikon of the tone of the week from the Octoechos.
The
entrance. The prokeimenon in
the seventh (or grave) tone.
O
God, thou art my helper; thy mercy shall go before me.
Verse: Rescue me from mine enemies, O God, and from them that rise
up against me redeem me.
The
reading is from Proverbs (A composite
from Chapters 10, 3, 8)
The
memory of the righteous is celebrated with praise and the blessing of the
Lord is upon his head. Blessed
is the man who hath found wisdom and the mortal who hath understanding, for
it is better to purchase her than treasuries of gold and silver. She is more precious than precious stones and all that is
precious is unworthy of her. For
length of days and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left hand
are riches and glory. Out of
her mouth proceeds righteousness and she bears law and mercy upon her
tongue. Hear me, O child, for I
will speak noble things. Blessed
is the man who keeps my ways, for my ways are the ways of life, and in them
is prepared favor from the Lord. Therefore,
hear me, I pray thee, and utter my voice to the sons of men:
For I, Wisdom, have dwelt with counsel and knowledge and I have
called upon understanding. Counsel
and safety are mine, understanding and strength are mine.
I love those who love me and those seeking me shall find grace.
Understand craftiness, O ye who are simple, and imbibe knowledge, ye
who are untaught. Hear me
again, for I will speak noble things: I will open my mouth and from my lips shall come what is
right. For my throat shall
meditate truth; false lips are an abomination before me. All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing in
them that is twisted or perverse. They
are all straight to him who understands and right to those who find
knowledge. I shall instruct you
in truth, so that your hope will be in the Lord and ye shall be filled with
the Spirit.
The reading
is from Proverbs (Chapter 10: 31 –
11:12)
The
mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be
cut off. The lips of the
righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, what is
perverse. A false balance is an
abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.
When pride comes, then comes disgrace; but with the humble is wisdom.
The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the
treacherous destroys them. Riches
do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
The righteousness of the blameless keeps his ways straight, but the
wicked falls by his own wickedness. The
righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken
captive by their lust. When the
wicked dies, his hope perishes, and the expectation of the godless comes to
naught. The righteous is
delivered from trouble, and the wicked gets into it instead.
With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor, but by
knowledge the righteous are delivered.
When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; and when the
wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but it is
overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
He who belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding
remains silent.
The reading
is from the Wisdom of Solomon (Chapter
4: 7-15)
The
righteous man, though he die early, will be at rest. For old age is not honored for length of time, nor measured
by number of years; but understanding of grey hair for men, and a blameless
life is ripe old age. There was
one who pleased God and was loved by him, and while living among sinners he
was taken up. He was caught up
lest evil change his understanding or guile deceive his soul.
For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good, and roving
desire perverts the innocent mind. Being
perfected in a short time, he fulfilled long years; for his soul was
pleasing to the Lord, therefore he took him quickly from the midst of
wickedness. Yet the peoples saw
and did not understand, nor take such a thing to heart, that God’s grace
and mercy are with his elect, and he watches over his holy ones.
At
the Litiya we chant the first Litiya troparion of the feast of the church
temple, then in the fourth tone:
O
holy hierarch Raphael, in obedience to the will of God thou didst proclaim
the Word to a scattered people, calling together the descendants of those
first called Christians. Nurtured
in three cultures, and having adopted a fourth, thou didst reach out to all
who would hear thy voice. As
the first bishop consecrated in the New World, thou art a symbol of unity in
the Orthodox Faith. Now by thy
prayers help lead us into the kingdom of heaven.
In the second
tone to the melody Hearken, ye women.
Let
us exalt with hymns of praise the holy bishop Raphael, beseeching his
intercessions before the throne of the Master.
For as a shepherd he sought out the wayward sheep lost in the hills,
preserving thus the unity of the Church, bringing together peoples of all
tongues and nations.
In the first
tone.
Thy
proclamation hath gone forth throughout North America, calling the scattered
sheep into the unity of the Church. Hearing
thy voice, they responded to thy teaching, and through thy writings thou
didst instruct them in piety. Now
guided by thine example, O Father Raphael, we sing hymns of praise to Christ
our God.
In
the sixth (plagal of the second) tone.
Rising
in distant Syria, ascending through the land of Russia, a bright star hath
appeared over the New World. Shining
with divine knowledge and radiating the love of Christ, the luminous Raphael
overcometh every deception of the enemy.
Now crowned among the saints, he intercedes for us before the throne
of God.
In the eighth (plagal of the
fourth) tone.
With
hymns of praise let us honor Raphael our holy father, a true shepherd and
teacher of Christ’s flock in North America.
He is the bright adornment of hierarchs, the boast of priests, the
joy of monastics and the delight of all the faithful.
Now, as he stands before the throne of the Holy Trinity, he
intercedes that our souls may be saved.
Glory in the fifth tone.
Enlightened
by the memory of holy Raphael, we celebrate his sacred feast.
For, having been made divinely wise, he draweth us all into
Christ’s net, as he entreats great mercy for our souls.
Both now and the theotokion in the same tone.
We
faithful Christians call thee blessed, O Virgin Theotokos, and we rightly
glorify thee as our unshakable fortress and invincible rampart, our
unfailing protectress and the refuge of our souls.
The
aposticha in the second tone to the melody O
house of Ephratha.
O
Father Raphael, who can tell of thy toil?
Who can number thy hardships? Father
to orphans, pray that the Church be preserved in peace.
Thy
priests shall be clothed with righteousness, and thy righteous shall
rejoice.
O
holy Raphael, who can tell of thy sorrows?
Who can recount thy noble deeds?
Friend of the needy poor, intercede for our salvation.
The
righteous man shall flourish like a palm tree, and like a cedar in Lebanon
shall he be multiplied.
O
glorious Raphael, great light from Antioch, good shepherd of the lost sheep,
boast of America, beg Christ for His great mercy.
Glory
in
the fourth tone.
Today
a splendid festival dawns upon the whole world.
Today the lands of Russia and ancient Syria celebrate the memory of
their righteous son Raphael, apostle to America, good shepherd of the lost
sheep. Wherefore, let us
celebrate this festive day and cry out unto him, saying: Rejoice, O new
Moses, who didst lead thy people out of the wilderness into the Promised
Land! Rejoice, O new Elias, who
hast placed within the holy Church a double portion of thy spirit!
Rejoice, O new Ezra, thou builder of the Temple of God!
Rejoice, O new Apostle of Christ our God, the fisher of men!
As thou hast boldness with the Angels before the throne of God, never
cease to intercede with Christ God for thy holy flock.
Both
now and the theotokion in the same tone.
Having
thee, O Theotokos, as our hope and protection, we are not dismayed by the
schemes of the foe, for truly thou dost save our souls.
The
apolytikion in the third tone.
Rejoice,
O Father Raphael, adornment of the holy Church!
Thou art champion of the True Faith, seeker of the lost, consolation
of the oppressed, father to orphans and friend of the poor, peacemaker and
good shepherd, joy of all the Orthodox, son of Antioch, boast of America. Intercede with Christ God for us and for all who honor thee.
Glory
and
Both now and the theotokion in the
same tone.
Thou
who art the mediatress for the salvation of our race, we praise, O Virgin
Theotokos, for in the flesh assumed from thee he hath deigned to endure the
Passion through the Cross, thy Son and our God, delivering us from
corruption because he is the Lover of mankind.
On Saturday Morning
At
Orthros
At
God is the Lord the apolytikion
(twice) and theotokion as at Great Vespers.
The
first stichologion (Psalms 109-117), Little Litany, and the first kathisma
in the first tone to the melody The
soldiers keeping watch.
In
word, in deed and thought, thou didst follow Christ the Saviour, and heeded
his call to the life of apostolic labor.
Then leaving thy homeland thou didst gift thy flock with the grace of
holy baptism, teaching them to profess the One God in Three Persons.
Hence we call thee a preacher of the truth and faithful hierarch, O
holy Raphael.
Glory and Both now and the
theotokion.
O
pure unwedded Virgin Theotokos, the only intercessor and protection of the
faithful: Deliver those who trust in thee from affliction and calamity, and
through thy holy intercessions do thou save our souls.
The
second stichologion (Psalm
118), Little Litany, and the second kathisma in the third tone to the melody
Awed by the beauty.
Bearing
thy cross from thy youth up, thou didst deny thyself. Abandoning the things below, thou didst seek heavenly things.
Wholly consumed by thy love for Christ, thou didst find thy life in
him. Thus when Christ our Life
doth come again to judge the living and the dead, thou shalt also stand
before him, shining brightly with glory.
Then on that fearful Day of Judgment pray to Christ for us who honor
thee.
Glory and Both now and the
theotokion.
Awed
by the beauty of thy virginity and the exceeding radiance of thy purity,
Gabriel stood amazed and cried to thee, O Theotokos: What praise may I offer
thee that is worthy of thy beauty? By
what name shall I call thee? I
am lost and bewildered; but I shall greet thee as I was commanded, ‘Hail,
thou that art full grace!’
The
Polyeleos (Psalms 135 and 136) and Eclogarion, Little Litany, and the third
kathisma in the fourth tone to the melody Joseph
marveled.
As
a model of vigilance, over the passions thou didst rule, cultivating in thy
soul the gifts of the Spirit. A
soothing balm, a man of peace who didst lead thy flock to unity, thou didst
keep them safe from the fierce wolf of souls.
As a good shepherd thou didst gather those who were formerly
dispersed as lambs lost in the hills, through the grace abiding in thine own
soul. And now, O Father
Raphael, lead thou into safe pastures all those who fervently supplicate
thee.
Glory and
Both now
and the theotokion.
O
Virgin all-pure who gave birth to Eternal God, with the hierarch Raphael
beseech him to grant unto us remission of sins and amendment of life before
the end; for we praise thee with faith and with love, O all-praised Virgin
Mary.
The
first antiphon of the anavathmoi in the fourth tone From
my youth.
The
prokeimenon in the fourth tone.
Precious
in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

What shall I
render unto the Lord for all that He hath rendered unto me?
Let everything that hath breath
and the Orthros Gospel.
John
10: 1-9 (cf.
November 13)

50 Have mercy on me, O God (said).
Glory
in the second tone.
Through the intercessions of
the hierarch, O merciful One …
Both now in
the same tone.
Through the
intercessions of the Theotokos, O merciful One …
Have
mercy and the idiomelon in the sixth (plagal
of the second) tone.
Rising in
distant Syria, ascending through the land of Russia, a bright star hath
appeared over the New World. Shining
with divine knowledge and radiating the love of Christ, the luminous Raphael
overcometh every deception of the enemy.
Now crowned among the saints, he intercedes for us before the throne
of God.
The
Canon of the Saint in the sixth (plagal of the second) tone and the
katavasiai in the fourth tone.
Ode 1:
The Heirmos
Crossing
the deep on foot as if it were dry land, the people of Israel saw Pharaoh
their pursuer drowning in the waves, and they cried aloud: Let us sing a
song of victory to God.
Refrain.
O
holy hierarch Father Raphael, pray unto God for us.
Numbered
with the highest choirs, as a holy hierarch, and a servant of God standing
now before him, do thou fervently pray for us, that we may obtain good
things through thine intercessions.
Having
been chosen by the Lord to the service of the holy gospel, O blessed
hierarch Raphael, with thine instructions thou hast brought up thy people in
wisdom.
Enriched
with God’s understanding, the living word didst flow from thy heart and
thou didst give it to drink unto the souls frozen by passions, O most wise
hierarch, God-blessed Raphael.
Glory
and Both now and the theotokion.
The
sacred choir of the prophets hath, from afar, shown thee, O pure one, as one
that was to become the Mother of God, higher than the cherubim and all
created things.
And
in the fourth tone.
I shall
open my mouth and it will be filled with the Spirit, and I shall speak forth
to the Queen and Mother. I
shall be seen joyfully singing her praises, and I shall delight to sing of
her wonders.
Ode 3:
The Heirmos
O Lord my God, there is none holy as thou,
who in thy love hast raised up the horn of thy faithful and established them
upon the rock of thy true faith.
Refrain.
O
holy hierarch Father Raphael, pray unto God for us.
Shedding
the divine sweetness from thy lips, O holy father, thou hast dried up the
drops of bitter godlessness by giving the holy drink of God's enlightenment.
Having
been forechosen by God, thou didst appear as a holy hierarch offering the
bloodless sacrifice unto God who offered himself for our sake.
The
place wherein lie thy precious relics, doth shed perfume as God's paradise,
filling the faithful with sweet incense, O most glorious and all-honored
Father Raphael.
Glory and Both now and
the theotokion.
O pure
one, to understand the unspeakable depths of thy birthgiving the mind of man
is incapable. For God having
humbled himself in his compassion hath utterly renewed me in thy womb.
And
in the fourth tone.
As
a living and copious fountain, O Theotokos, do thou establish those who hymn
thy praises, and are joined together in spiritual fellowship for thy
service; and in thy divine glory make them worthy of crowns of glory.
The Mesodion Kathisma in the
eighth tone.
With
thy tears thou didst water the seeds of virtue which the Lord planted in thy
soul, nurturing them with thy holy labors until thou didst reap the fruits
of the Spirit. Bearing thine
own afflictions with patience and joy, thou wast a compassionate shepherd to
thy flock, bringing peace to those who had been at enmity.
Now, O holy Father Raphael, thou hast inherited the kingdom of
heaven.
Glory and Both now and the
theotokion in the same tone.
Mysteriously
conceiving in thy womb the Wisdom and Word of God, O Theotokos, thou hast
brought forth into the world him who upholds the universe in his hands. Thou didst nourish at thy breast the One who sustains and
nourishes all, the very Creator of all things created.
Therefore I entreat thee, O all-holy Virgin, that I may be delivered
from my offenses when I come to stand in the presence of my Fashioner.
O pure Lady, who art praised by all and who canst do whatsoever thou
willeth, together with the holy hierarch Raphael, do thou come unto mine aid
at that hour.
Ode 4:
The Heirmos
‘Christ is my strength, my God and
Lord,’ with reverence sings the Holy Church, raising her voice in purity
and keeping feast in the Lord.

Refrain.
O
holy hierarch Father Raphael, pray unto God for us.
Filled
with the Holy Spirit, O holy hierarch Raphael, thou hast driven away the
evil spirits from men, wisely instructing thy flock.
Thou
didst proclaim God the uncreated Unity and indivisible Trinity, not
separated or co-mingled, enlightening the faithful with sacred theology.
Having
first put to death the passions of the flesh by thy arduous toil and
fasting, thou hast appeared as a holy hierarch and all-sacred intercessor
before the Trinity.
Glory and Both now and the
theotokion.
The
ancestor's curse hath been done away with by thee, O Mother of God; for
thou, O most pure one, hast brought forth unto us the Source of holiness—the
ever-abiding Light.
And
in the fourth tone.
When
the Prophet Habakkuk, O thou Most High, learned of the divine and
untraceable counsel of thy pure incarnation from the womb of the blessed
Virgin, he cried out: ‘Glory to thy power, O Lord my God.’
Ode 5:
The Heirmos
I entreat thee, gracious Lord, with thy
divine light shine upon the souls of those who with love seek thee early in
the morning. May they know
thee, Word of God, as God in very truth, who recallest them from the gloomy
darkness of transgression.
Refrain.
O
holy hierarch Father Raphael, pray unto God for us.
Thou
wast blameless in thy ministry, in purity of soul performing the holy
Mysteries, serving God as a holy hierarch.
Through
thy holy instructions, those who followed after the false gods of this world
returned to worship the living and true God, and in recalling them thou hast
become a worthy servant of God Almighty.
Receiving
the call of grace, thou didst abolish the lawlessness of idol worship by the
downpour of thy words, O holy one, making the barren hearts fruitful by the
grace of God.
Glory and Both now and
the theotokion.
