Camp's over and I've been thinking. Here are my thoughts.
Tone 1
In giving birth you preserved your virginity, in falling asleep you did not forsake the world o Theotokos. You were translated into life, O Mother of Life, and by your prayers you deliver our souls from death.
Tone 3
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!
My soul seeks Thee early in the night watches, for Thy commandments are a light upon the earth.
