SAINT MATTHEW; ARCHBISHOP OF ATHENS

THE CONFESSOR & WONDER- WORKER (1861- + 1950)
 FROM HIS LIFE BEFORE HIS REPOSE

“In 1950, on the Feast of the Epiphany, we went to dive

the Holy Cross into the sea. The police station was on
Theseos Avenue. Its commander was our host and he was
from Corfu, as Fr. Evgenios Tombros was. When Fr.
Eugene came to our house one Sunday and the two men
from Corfu met, they discussed about Orthodoxy and
about the Monastery of Keratea. Then, the commander
asked Fr. Eugene: "When you went to the sea (by the
Orthodox calendar) did you see the Police Station’s
balconies full of us, the Policemen?" "No," said Father
Eugene, “There was a lot of people and I was looking to
put them in order." The commander said: "The officers
were calling each other to see a Despot who does not set
foot on the earth." They were amazed by the Holiness of
the man. On the way back, where we arrived at the
Church in Kallithea, the Holy Father said: "My children,
this year was good and I hope that next year you will have
at least a holy service. Unfortunately, the Saint was
verified. Persecution followed and the churches were
closed.” (Ms. Angeliki Karagianni)

MOST HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
MARIAM

The Little Prayer to the Holy Mother of God is

read in every need, sorrow and occasion.

Blessed is our God always, now and forever and to

the ages of ages. People: Amen.

Psalm 142; O Lord, hear my prayer, give ear to my

supplications in Your truth; hear me in Your
righteousness. Do not enter into judgment, with Your
servant, for in Your sight no one living is
justified. For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he
has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me
dwell in darkness, like those who have long been
dead, and my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my
heart within me is distressed. I remembered the days
of old; I meditated on all Your works: I pondered on
the work of Your hands. I spread out my hands to
You; my soul longs for You, like a thirsty land. Hear
me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails. Do not turn Your
face away from me, lest I be like those who go down
into the pit. Cause me to hear Your mercy in the
morning, for in You I have put my trust. Cause me to
know, O Lord, the way in which I should walk, for I
lift up my soul to You. Rescue me, lord, from my
enemies; to You have I fled for refuge. Teach me to
do Your will, for You are my God. Your good Spirit
shall lead me in the land of uprightness. For Your
name’s sake, O Lord, You shall quicken me. In Your
righteousness You shall bring my soul out of trouble,
and in Your mercy, You shall utterly destroy my
enemies. And you shall destroy all those who afflict
my soul; for I am Your servant.

Tone 4; God is the Lord and has revealed Himself to

us; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Vs. 1. Give thanks to the Lord and call upon His holy
name.

God is the Lord and has revealed Himself to

us; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Vs. 2. All the nations have surrounded me, but in the

name of the Lord, I have overcome them.

God is the Lord and has revealed Himself to us;

blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Vs. 3. This has been done by the Lord, and it is

wonderful in our eyes.
God is the Lord and has revealed Himself to us;
blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Tone 4; To the Theotokos, let us run now most

fervently, As sinners and lowly ones, Let us fall down
in repentance, Crying from the depths of our soul:
Lady, come and help us, Have compassion upon us;
Hasten now for we are lost In the host of our errors;
Do not turn your servants away, For you alone are a
hope to us.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

(Repeat the above or the Apolytikion of the Church.)

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

O Theotokos, we shall never be silent. Of your mighty

acts, all we the unworthy; Had you not stood to
intercede for us Who would have delivered us,
From the numerous perils? Who would have preserved
us all Until now with our freedom? O Lady, we shall
not depart from you; For you always save your
servants, From all tribulation.

Then we read Psalm 50;

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great
mercy; and according to the multitude of Your
compassion blot out my transgression. Wash me
thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my
sin. For I acknowledge my iniquity, and my sin is ever
before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, and
done this evil in Your sight, that You may be found
just when You speak, and blameless when You judge.
For behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and in sin my
mother bore me. For behold, You have loved truth:
You have made known to me the secret things of Your
wisdom. You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I
shall be made clean: You shall wash me, and I shall be
whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness,
that bones which You have broken may rejoice. Turn
Your face away from my sins, and blot out all my
iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and
renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me
away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy
Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your
salvation: And establish me with Your governing
Spirit. I shall teach transgressors Your ways, and the
ungodly shall turn back to You. Deliver me from
bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation, my
tongue shall rejoice in Your righteousness. O Lord,
open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your
praise. For if You had desired sacrifice, I would give
it: You do not delight in burnt offering. A sacrifice to
God is a broken spirit, God will not despise a broken
and humbled heart. Do good in Your good pleasure to
Sion; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then
You shall be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness,
with oblation and whole burnt offerings. Then they
shall offer bulls on Your altar.

Ode 1. The Heirmos. Plagal of the 4th Tone

Crossing the waters as on dry land, In that way

escaping From the evils of Egypt's land, The Israelites
cried out exclaiming: To our Redeemer and God, now
let us sing.

Most Holy Theotokos save us.

With many temptations surrounding me, Searching for

salvation, I have hastened unto you; O Mother of the
Word, and ever-Virgin, From all distresses and angers
deliver me.

Most Holy Theotokos save us.

Assaults of the passions have shaken me, My soul to

its limits Has been filled with much despair; Bring
peace, O Maiden, in the calmness, Of your own Son
and your God, all-blameless One.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

To God and the Savior you've given birth; I ask you,

O Virgin, From the dangers deliver me; For now I run
to you for refuge, With both my soul and my
reasoning.

Now and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Diseased is the body and the soul; Deem me truly

worthy of divine guidance and your care; For you
alone are God's Mother, As the good and the
birthgiver of the Good.

Ode 3. The Heirmos.

The apse of the heavens, Are you O Lord, Fashioner,

And the Holy Church's great Founder, Likewise
establish me, In constant love for You For You're the
height of our longing; Support of the faithful, The
only Friend of all.

Most Holy Theotokos save us.

A protection and shelter, I have with you in my life,

You, the Theotokos and the Virgin, Pilot me towards
your port; For you are the cause, The cause of that
which is good, Support of the faithful, The only all-
praised One.

Most Holy Theotokos save us.

I entreat you, O Virgin, Disperse the storm of my

grief, and the soul's most inward confusion, Scatter it
far from me; You are the Bride of God, For you have
brought forth the Christ, the Prince of Peace; Only,
all-blameless One.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Having brought forth unto us the cause and giver of

good, From your great abundance of kindness, Pour
forth upon us all; For all is possible, For you who
carried the Christ, Who is mighty in power; You, who
are blessed of God.

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen

With most serious ailments, And with the passions so

dark, I am being tested, O Virgin, Come and bring
help to me; For I have known of you, That you are
without fail the endless treasure of cures, Only all-
blameless One. Deliver us, All of your servants, from
danger, O Theotokos; After God, we all flee to you,
For shelter and covering, As an unshakable wall and
our protection.

Turn to me, In your good favor, all praise-worthy

Theotokos; Look upon my grave illnesses, Which
painfully sting my flesh and heal the cause of my
soul's pain and suffering.

(The priest commemorates those for whom the

Paraklesis is sung.)

Tone 2

A fervent prayer, and wall most unshakable A

merciful spring And shelter of all mankind; Fervently,
we cry to you: Theotokos, our Lady, Come to us And
from all dangers now deliver us The only protection
who speeds to us.

Ode 4. The Heirmos.

O Lord, I have heard of the wondrous mystery of Your

salvation; I have contemplated all Your works And I
have glorified Your great divinity.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

Still the darkest of passions, Calm the sea of errors
In your great peacefulness; It was you who bore the
guiding Lord, And you who are the blessed bride of
God.

Most Holy Theotokos save us.

Your depth of compassion Grant unto me

As one beseeching you; You have carried the
Compassionate The Savior of those praising you.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We are thankful for all the gifts Which we have been

given by you the Spotless One; And to you, we sing a
hymn of praise, Knowing you to be the Mother of
God.

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

As a hope and foundation, And a wall unshaken

Of our salvation; Having you, the all-lauded One,
From afflictions do you rescue us.
 Ode 5. The Heirmos.

Lord, enlighten us, With Your precepts that can guide

our lives, And with Your arm most powerful Grant to
us Your peace, O You Who are the Friend of all.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

Pure one, fill my heart with a merriment, a happiness;

Bestow on me your spotless joy, For you have given
birth to Him Who is the cause of joy.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

Deliver all of us From the dangers, Theotokos, most

pure, For you bore the timeless deliverer, And you
bore the peace, the peace which has surpassed all
thought.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Dissipate the cloud Of my sinfulness, O bride of God,

With the brightness of your eminence; For you
brought forth the Light, The Divine, which was before
all time.

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Heal me from the ills Oh Most Pure One which the
passions bring, Make me worthy of your guiding care,
And unto me grant health, Through your intercessions
and your prayers.

Ode 6. The Heirmos.

My petition, I pour out to the Lord, And to Him I will

confess all my sorrows; For many woes Fill my soul
to its limits, And unto Hades my whole life has now
approached,Like Jonah, I pray to You, From
corruption, O God, now raise me

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

From death and corruption He has saved My nature,

held by death and corruption; For unto death He
Himself has surrendered; For which reason, O Virgin,
please intercede With Him who is your Lord and Son,
From the enemies' evils deliver me.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

I know you as the protection of my life, A steadfast

shelter and refuge, O Virgin; Disperse the host Of my
many temptations, And force away the demonic
attacks from me; I pray to you unceasingly, From
corruption of passions deliver me.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We have you as a wall of refuge, And our soul's most

perfect salvation; You are an aid, In affliction, O
Maiden, And in your light we rejoice to eternity; O
Lady, also now, From the passions and dangers
deliver us.

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

I lie now on a bed of infirmities, And there is no

healing at all for my body Except for you, Who has
brought forth our Savior, God, the healer of all our
infirmities; Of your goodness, I pray to you, From
corruption of sicknesses raise me.

Deliver us, All of your servants, from dangers, O

Theotokos; After God, we all flee to you, For shelter
and covering, As an unshakable wall and our
protection.

Spotless one, Who by a word, did bring to us the Word

eternal, In the last days ineffably; Do you now plead
with him As the one with the motherly favor.

(The priest commemorates as before.)

 Kondakion. Tone 2.

A protection of Christians unshamable, Intercessor to

our Holy Maker, unwavering, Please reject not The
prayerful cries of those who are in sin. Instead, come
to us, for you are good; Your loving help bring unto
us, Who are crying in faith to you: Hasten to intercede
And speed now to supplicate, As a protection for all
time, Theotokos, for those who honor you.

(1st Antiphon of the Anavathmoi of the 4th Tone.)

From the years of my youth, many passions combat

me; but You, Who are my Savior, assist me and save
me. (2)

You haters of Zion shall be put to shame by the Lord

Almighty, for as grass in the fire, you shall all be
withered. (2)

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

By the Holy Spirit, every soul is made living, is

exalted, and made shining through purification, by the
Threefold Oneness, in a hidden manner.
 Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

By the Holy Spirit, the streams of grace are flowing,

watering, all of the creation, granting life upon it.

I shall remember your Holy Name from generation to

generation. (Twice)

Verse: Listen, O Daughter, and see, and incline your

ear, and forget your people and your father's house
and the King will desire your beauty.

I remember Your Holy Name from generation to

generation.

Holy Gospel of Luce: In those days Mary arose and

went in haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,
and she entered the house of Zachariah and greeted
Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of
Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth
was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with
a loud cry, Blessed are you among women, and
blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this
granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come
to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting
came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
And blessed is she who believed, for there would be a
fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."
And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my
spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded
the lowly estate of his handmaiden. For behold
henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he
who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy
is his name." And Mary remained with her about three
months, and returned to her home.

Tone 2.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Father, Word, and Spirit, Trinity in oneness, wash

away my many personal offenses.

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Through the intercessions of the Theotokos, merciful

One, wash away my many personal offenses.

Verse: Have mercy upon me, O God, according to

Your great mercy; and according to the multitude of
Your compassions blot out my transgressions.

Plagal of the 2nd Tone

Put me not into the hands Of any human protection,

O our Lady, most holy, But do now receive the
prayers of your supplicant; Sorrow has taken me,
And I am unable To withstand and bear the demon's
darts; Shelter I do not have, Nor a place to go,
worthless that I am; Lady of humanity, The shelter of
the faithful and their hope, Do not reject my prayers to
you, Do the things that profit me.

The Theotokia

No one is turned away from you, Ashamed and empty,

who flee unto you, O pure virgin Theotokos; But one
asks for the favor, And the gift is received from you,
To the advantage of their own request.

The transformation of the afflicted, You are the cure

of those in sickness, Theotokos, O Virgin; Save your
people and your town. You are the peace of those in
conflict, The calm of those in turmoil, The only
protection of the faithful.

People: Lord, have mercy (12).

Ode 7. The Heirmos

Coming out of Judea, Once the young men did go to

the land of Babylon; The flame of the furnace, They
trampled down while chanting, With their faith in the
Trinity: O the God of our Fathers, Blessed are You,
our God.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

As You willed, O our Savior, To dispense our

salvation through Your economy Inside the Virgin's
womb; You showed to all the people That she was our
own guardian; O the God of our fathers, Blessed are
You, our God.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

The bestower of mercy That you bore, O pure Mother,

entreat on our behalf; From sins deliver us, And from
the soul's defilement, We who cry out most faithfully:
O the God of our fathers, Blessed are You, our God.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

A fountain of pureness And a tower of safety is she

who carried You, A treasure of salvation And the door
of repentance, She has been shown to those that cry;
O the God of our fathers, Blessed are You, our God.

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

The illnesses of body, and the soul's ailing sickness, of
those who run to you. For divine protection, As God's
holy Mother, Make them worthy of remedy: For the
Savior Christ Was born from you.

Ode 8. The Heirmos

The King of heaven, Who is praised, And is hymned

by the host of the angels; Praise Him and exalt Him
Throughout the many ages.

Most holy Theotokos, save us.

Do not neglect those who seek the help you grant

They hymn you, O Virgin Maiden, And they do exalt
you Throughout the many ages.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

O Virgin, you pour a wealth of healing On those who

faithfully hymn you, And those who exalt your
Childbearing wonder.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The infirmities of my soul are healed by you, And the

pains of my body, O Virgin, So that I may praise you,
O Lady, in God's favor.
 Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

You drive away the assaults of temptations, And

attacks of the passions, O Virgin, Therefore do we
praise you Throughout the many ages.

Ode 9. The Heirmos.

Saved through you, O pure Virgin, Hence we do

confess you To be most truly the birthgiver of our
Lord; With choirs of bodiless Angels, You do we
magnify.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

The streams of my many tears, Reject not, Holy

Virgin; For you gave birth to the One who dried all the
tears, From all the faces of people; The Christ was
born of you.

Most holy Theotokos, save us.

With gladness fill my heart, Most holy Virgin lady,

For you are she who received the abundant joy; Take
the grief of my sinfulness, And make it disappear.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

A shelter and protection And a wall unshaken,
Become, O Virgin, for those who flee to you, A
sheltered cover and refuge, And a place of joy.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

O Virgin, from the brightness Of your light illumine

The ones who call you most piously Mother of God,
Take all the gloom of our ignorance And banish it
away.

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Oppressed I am, O Virgin; In a place of sickness, I

have been humbled; I ask you: bring remedy,
Transform my illness, my sickness, Into a
wholesomeness.

Truly you are worthy to be blessed, Mother of our

God, the Theotokos, You the ever blessed one, and all
blameless one, And the Mother of our God. You are
honored more than the Cherubim, And you have more
glory, when compared, to the Seraphim; You, without
corruption, Did bear God, the Logos; You are the
Theotokos; You do we magnify.

Higher than the heavens above are you, And you are
much purer Than the radiance of the sun; You who
have redeemed us From the curse which is upon us;
The Lady of all people, In hymns, do we honor you.

From the great multitude of my sins, Ill am I in body,

Ill am I also in my soul; I am fleeing to you, The one
who is all-blessed, The hope of all the hopeless, Please
come bring help to me.

Lady and the Mother of Him who saves, Receive the

supplications Of the lowly who pray to you; Mediate
between us And the One you brought forth; O Lady of
all people, Intercede for us.

Now with zeal we chant this Ode to you; You, the all
praised Lady, Theotokos, we hymn with joy; With the
saints most holy, Together with the Baptist,Beseech,
O Theotokos, For God's mercy on us

Speechless be the lips of impious ones, Those who do

not reverence Your great icon, the sacred one Which
is called Directress, And was depicted for us By one
of the apostles, Luke the Evangelist.

With the hosts of Angels, God's messengers, With the

Lord's Forerunner, And Apostles, the chosen twelve,
With the saints most holy, And with you, the
Theotokos, We seek your intercession For our
salvation.
People: Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have
mercy upon us (3).

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Most holy Trinity, have mercy upon us; Lord, pardon

our sins; Master, forgive our transgressions; Holy
One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Your name's
sake. Lord have mercy (3).

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy

name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

(Then we chant the following troparia;)

Plagal of the 2nd Tone.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, For we

are empty of all defense, As sinners we offer this
supplication to You; O Master, have mercy on us.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Lord, have mercy on us, For in You we have put our

trust; Be not exceedingly angry with us, Nor
remember our many iniquities; But look upon us now
as the Compassionate, And deliver us from our
enemies; For You are our God, and we Your people,
We are all the work of Your hands, And upon Your
Name we have now called.

Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

The Theotokion

The doors of caring do now open unto us, O most

blessed Theotokos, So that hoping in you we shall not
fail; Through you we may be delivered from
adversities, For you are the salvation of the Christian
faith.

(During the period from the 1st to the 14th of August,

instead of the above Troparia, the Apolytikion of the
day and the Theotokion of the tone are chanted.)

Tone 2.

All those Do you shelter, O Good One, Those who in

their faith flee unto you, With your strong hand, you
protect; We who sin have no one else, Who intercedes
for us Before God, praying endlessly, In ills and all
dangers, For us who are laiden with Our many sins
and mistakes; Mother, of our God in the Highest
Therefore, we fall down to you, humbly; From all the
misfortunes, keep your servants safe.

For those In great sorrow you are joy, And for the
oppressed, a protection, And for the hungry, their
food, Comfort unto those estranged; You are a staff to
the blind, Visitation of all those sick, And to those
held by pain Shelter and a comforting, And to the
orphaned, an aid; Mother, of our God in the highest,
You who are the Spotless One, hasten, Save your
servants from their sin, we ask of you.

Plagal of the 4th Tone

Lady, do you receive, From your servants, their many

prayers; And deliver all of us, From all sadness and
necessity.

Tone 2

My numerous hopes are placed Before you, most holy

One; Mother of our God, Guard me with care, within
your sheltered arms.
(During the period from the 1st to the 15th of August,
instead of chanting the previous Theotokion, we chant
the following Exsapostilaria)

Tone 3.

O You Apostles from far off, Being gathered together

in the village of Gethsemane, Lay my body in burial,
And You, my Son, and my God, Receive now my
spirit from me.

You are the sweetness of Angels, The gladness of the

afflicted ones, A protection of all Christians, O Virgin
Mother of our Lord; Grant me now help and save me
From the eternal torments.

I have you as Mediator Before God who loves

mankind; May He not question my action Before the
hosts of the Angels, I ask of you, O Virgin, Hasten
now quickly to my aid.

You are a tower adorned with gold, A city surrounded

by twelve walls, A shining throne touched by the sun,
A royal seat for the King, O unexplainable wonder,
How do you nurse the Master?

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus

Christ, our God, have mercy and save us. Amen.
 HYMN OF ST MATTHEW OF ATHENS TO
THE MOST HOLY THEOTOKOS MARIAM

Queen of the world, Miss of the Heaven,

sweet Virgin blessed, Mother of God.

Do not forsake us, Holy Virgin Mother,

abandoned as well as rejected,
Mother our luster.

Oh fountain of mercy, oh fountain of grace,

You are our joy and our comfort, hope is eternal.

Patron of the Orthodox, of the orphans,

of the poor ones, of all the grieving and afflicted
faithful Christians.

Do not forget us to the ends of the earth, see our

sighs, our pains and sorrows, that you may pity us.

How tender you are, Our Lady, wounds of our

body, pollution of our mind, you are a consolation.

Oh Mother, sweet Mother, Mother Merciful,

of us who are bitter, of those who repent,
have mercy on our soul.
 Our precious soul, immortal soul, my mother,
deliver us, liberate us from the torment of hell.

And turn your merciful eyes towards us, Look us,

help us, run and cover us, the strangers ones
and the orphans.

Poor and rejected, strangers and orphans,

come to save us, free from our sufferings,
sweet Mother of God.

And when our soul leaves our body, show us your

Son, the redeemer of the world, the true glory.

And at the time of death, horrible and terrible,

My mother, redeem us, and set us free,
in this painful moment.

And then, they all cried together to the sky, that we

may glorify, and worship you, after God, you.

After soulful living, joy of our heart, kneeling to

praise and worship You, my Holy Trinity.

We entreat, your Mother, Daughter, Holy Virgin,

your desire to bless us, to give us martyrdom,
my immaculate Lady. Amen. Pious Virgin.
