Saint Brendan the Navigator - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 8

The image of God was truly preserved in you, O Father, / for you took up the Cross and followed after Christ. / By so doing you taught us to disregard the flesh for it passes away / but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore, O Venerable Brendan, your spirit rejoices with the Angels.

Kontakion — Tone 2

(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
Having divinely armed yourself with purity of soul / and firmly grasping unceasing prayer as a spear, you have slain the armies of the demons. / Therefore, we beseech you, O Father Brendan: / “Always intercede for those who honor you.”
