The Roman Icon of the Mother of God
Dismissal Hymn. Third Tone
Dawning in the East to enlighten the Western Lands, thine Icon, O Theotokos, was welcomed reverently by the Holy Prelate Gregory of Rome. Encircling with it the Great City that was besieged by the deadly plague, he received the angelic assurance of heavenly deliverance. Shelter us also under the grace of thy Roman Icon, O Mother of God, which we worship with faith, hope and love.
Kontakion. Third Tone
To Thee The Champion
To thee the solace and protection of the Christian Race * Who through thine icon hast wrought deliverance from the deadly plague * We, thy people glorify as our sure salvation * Send down healing to our ailing bodies and souls * And keep us steadfast in the Apostolic Faith * That we may cry to thee: Rejoice thou shelter of our Church.

Our Righteous Father Benedict of Nursia.
Saint Benedict, whose name means โblessed,โ was born in 480 in Nursia, a small town about seventy miles northeast of Rome. He struggled in asceticism from his youth in deserted regions, where his example drew many who desired to emulate him. Hence, he ascended Mount Cassino in Campania and built a monastery there. The Rule that he gave his monks, which was inspired by the writings of Saint John Cassian, Saint Basil the Great, and other Fathers, became a pattern for monasticism in the West; because of this, he is often called the first teacher of monks in the West. He reposed in 547.
