“Surety of Sinners” Icon of the Mother of God of Korets
Troparion — Tone 3
To you, the ever-flowing source of mercy and Intercessor for sinners, / O Theotokos, we your unworthy servants, bow down in sorrow, crying out: / “Save us from our troubles, O Sovereign Lady, / and by your maternal intercession ask eternal salvation for all of us.”
Kontakion — Tone 1
As the revered dwelling place of the ineffable Divine nature, beyond words and understanding; / and an intercessor for sinners, granting grace and healing; / as the Mother of Him Who reigns over all, / pray to your Son that we may receive mercy on the Day of Judgment.
Venerable Isaac, Founder of Dalmátos Monastery at Constantinople
Troparion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “The Divine Faith...”)
Appearing as an example of abstinence, and a support of the Church, / O Isaac, adornment of the Fathers, / your life was radiant with virtues, / and you clearly expounded the word of Orthodoxy. / O Venerable Father, entreat Christ God that He may grant us great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “As first-fruits...”)
As a faithful servant of God, you were inflamed with zeal for the Church of Christ, / holding the reins of the Emperor Valens, / you prophetically foretold His death in a fire because of his closure of the churches. / Therefore, always pray for us who honor you, O Venerable Father Isaac.
