Venerable Neilos the Ascetic of Sinai - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 8

By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, / and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. / By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe! / Our Father Neilos, pray to Christ God to save our souls!

Kontakion — Tone 8

(Podoben: “O Victorious Leader...”)
O blessed Neilos, like firewood, you cut away the branches of corporeal passions by your prayerful vigil; / and as one having boldness before the Lord, deliver me from every possible danger that I may cry to you: / “Hail, O Father revered by all the world.”
