To: Kolokotronis
Therefore, intercede with Christ to save our souls.

Given the apostasy sweeping Germany and the spiritual descendants of this missionary martyr the Psalmist's cry "save thy people and bless thine inheritance" should be considered part of that Troparion.

To: lightman

O Lord, who dost bless them that bless Thee and sanctify them that put their trust in Thee: Save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance; preserve the fullness of Thy Church, sanctify them that love the beauty of Thy house; do Thou glorify them by Thy divine power, and forsake us not that hope in Thee. Give peace to Thy world, to Thy churches, to the priests, and to all Thy people. For every good and perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from Thee, the Father of lights, and unto Thee do we send up glory and thanksgiving and worship: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
