Saturday Synaxis

O give us patience and steadfastness in adversity, strengthen our weakness, comfort us in trouble and distress, help us to fight; grant unto us that in true obedience and contention of mind we may give over our own wills unto Thee our Father in all things, according to the example of Thy beloved Son; that in adversity we grudge not, but offer ourselves unto Thee without contradiction... O give us a willing and cheerful mind, that we may gladly suffer and bear all things for Thy sake. Amen.
