Venerable Mother Euphrosyne, Troparion in Tone VIII —
In thee, O mother, that which was created according to the
image of God was manifestly saved./ For accepting thy cross thou didst follow
after Christ,/ and praying thou didst learn to disdain the flesh,/ for thou
didst transcend it to take care of thine immortal soul.// Wherefore, with the
angels doth thy soul rejoice, O venerable Mother Euphrosyne.
Kontakion in Tone II "Seeking the highest" —
Desiring to receive a higher life,/ thou didst zealously
forsake the pleasure of life here below,/ and didst mingle with men as if a man,
O most comely one./ For thou didst spurn a transitory betrothed for the sake of
Christ thy Bridegroom.
St. Sergius of Radonezh, Troparion, Tone IV —
O thou who wast a struggler for the virtues, as a true warrior of Christ God thou didst contend greatly against the passions in this transitory life, becoming a model for thy disciples in chanting, the keeping of vigils and fasts. Wherefore, the all-holy Spirit made his abode within thee, by Whose activity thou wast splen¬didly adorned. As thou hast boldness before the Holy Trinity, be thou mindful of the flock which thou hast assembled, O wise one, and forget it not, as thou hast promised, visiting thy children, O Sergius, our venerable father.
Kontakion, Tone VIII "To thee the Champion Leader" —
Wounded with the love of Christ, O venerable one, and following Him with unwavering desire,/ thou didst despise all the delight of the flesh, and hast shone forth like the sun upon thy native land;/ wherefore, Christ hath enriched thee with the gift of miracles./ Be thou mindful of us who honor thine all-radiant memory,// that we may cry to thee: Rejoice, O divinely wise Sergius!
