Troparion - Tone 1
Dweller of the desert and angel in the body,
you were shown to be a wonderworker, our God-bearing Father Gerasimus.
You received heavenly gifts through fasting, vigil, and prayer:
healing the sick and the souls of those drawn to you by faith.
Glory to Him who gave you strength!
Glory to Him who who grant granted you a crown!
Glory to Him who through you grants healing to all!
Kontakion - Tone 4
Father, you burned with heavenly love,
preferring the harshness of the Jordan desert to all the delights of the world.
Therefore, a wild beast served you until your death; he died in obedience
and grief on your grave.
Thus God has glorified you,
and when you pray to Him
remember us, Father Gerasimus.
