Standing Together in Prayer - Commemoration of Saint John of Damascus (Orthodox Church)
O St. John of Damascus, intercede to Jesus Christ, to save our souls
“Let us hymn John, the honored and divinely eloquent speaker and hymnographer, the instructor and teacher of the Church, the opponent of the enemy; for taking up the Cross of the Lord as a sword, he hath cut down all the falsehood of heresies, and as a fervent intercessor before God, he bestowed forgiveness of transgressions upon all (Kontakion for St. John of Damascus in tone IV).
