神聖的大殉道女瑪利納

This Martyr lived during the reign of Claudius II (268–270). She was from Pisidia in Cilicia and was the only daughter of a certain priest of the idols. On being orphaned of her mother, she was handed over to a certain woman who instructed her in the Faith of Christ. When she was fifteen years old, she was apprehended by the ruler Olymbrius, and when asked her name, homeland, and faith, she answered: “My name is Marina; I am the offspring of Pisidia; I call upon the Name of my Lord Jesus Christ.” Because of this, she endured bonds, imprisonment, and many whippings, and was finally beheaded in the year 270. Saint Marina is especially invoked for deliverance from demonic possession.

這位殉道者生活在克勞狄二世統治時期(268-270年)。她來自基里基雅的彼西迪亞,是一位偶像司祭的獨生女。母親去世後,她成為孤兒,被送給一位婦女,這位婦女教導她信仰基督。十五歲時,她被地方官奧林布里烏斯抓住,當被問及她的姓名、家鄉和信仰時,她回答說:「我叫瑪利納,我是彼西迪亞人,我呼求我主耶穌基督的聖名。」因此,她被捆綁、監禁和多次受鞭打,最終於 270 年被斬首。我們特別為附魔的人呼求聖瑪利納,求她使他們擺脫惡魔。

遣散頌
第四調式 若瑟驚奇不已

O Lord Jesus, unto Thee Thy lamb doth cry with a great voice: * O my Bridegroom, Thee I love; and seeking Thee, I now contest, * and with thy baptism am crucified and buried. * I suffer for Thy sake, that I may reign with Thee; * for Thy sake I die, that I may live in Thee: * accept me offered out of longing * to Thee as a spotless sacrificel. * Lord, save our souls through her intercessions, since Thou art great in mercy.

主耶穌,祢的羔羊向祢高呼:我的淨配,我愛祢;現在,我為尋求祢而競賽,藉著祢的聖洗,我被釘十字架,並被埋葬。我為祢受苦,好能與祢一起為王;我為祢而死,好能與祢一起生活,我因渴望祢而獻上自己,作為無玷的祭品,求祢接納。主啊,因她的代禱,求祢拯救我的靈魂,因為祢富於仁慈。

集禱頌 第三調式
今天,童貞女

With most fair virginity * wast thou made comely, O virgin; * and with bright and spotless crowns * wast thou crowned also, O Martyr; * reddened with martyric blood, Thou, * O famed Marina, * wast vouchsafed to shine forth brightly with wondrous healings, * while receiving from the right hand * of thy Creator * thy triumph’s sacred rewards.

童貞女,你以完美的貞潔為裝飾,戴上了不朽的冠冕,你為殉道的鮮血所染紅,為治病的奇跡所照亮,殉道者啊,你由造物主領受了得勝的賞報。
