The Great Canon Á-? On Monday of the First Week - Page 20 of 20
To St. Andrew of Crete:
Venerable Andrew, thrice-blessed father,
shepherd of Crete, cease not to pray to God for those who
sing of thee, that He may deliver from anger, oppression,
corruption and our countless sins, all of us who faithfully
honor thy memory.
And again the
Eirmos:
Ineffable is the childbearing of a seedless conception,
unsullied the pregnancy of a Virgin Mother, for the
birth of God renews natures. So in all generations we
magnify thee in orthodox fashion as Mother and Bride
of God.
Then the rest of Great Compline.
