The Feast of St John of Damascus

Fr. Kubick, S.J. made this video two years ago for the feast of St John of Damascus:

Troparion of St John of Damascus    Tone 3

Thou wast a holy instrument/ and a tuneful harp of godliness./ Thy teachings shone forth to the ends of the world,/ O righteous John,/ entreat Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.

Kontakion of St John of Damascus    Tone 4

Let us praise the illustrious hymnographer John,/ teacher of the Church and champion against her enemies./ For armed with the weapon of the Lord’s Cross,/ he has banished the errors of heresy./ He fervently intercedes with God Who grants forgiveness to all.
