Venerable Arsenius, Abbot of Konevits - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 1

Aflame with divine love, you cast aside worldly passions from your soul, / by the narrow path of fasting; / you walked in Christ's footsteps with a steadfast spirit, O most blessed Arsenios, / and from Him you received a reward in Heaven for your labors. / Remember us who venerate your holy memory, crying out: / "Glory to Him Who gave you strength. / Glory to Him Who crowned you. / Glory to Him Who, through you, grants healing to all."

Troparion — Tone 4

Guided by the Spirit of God, you loved stillness, / in which you struggled according to the Gospel. / An astonishing gift from Mount Athos was given to you: / an Icon of the Mother of God. / O most blessed one, you were an example of virtue for your flock, / and you were lifted up to Heavenly triumph, / where, rejoicing with the Angels, / you pray to Christ God for the salvation of our souls, / Arsenios our Father.

Kontakion — Tone 8

The Trihypostastic Deity enlightened your heart, O Venerable one, / and you were illumined with virtues; / and Mount Athos, where you received the holy Icon of Christ, the Sun of Righteousness,1 / and His most pure Mother as a gift, was lit by the light of your diligence. / You came to an island in Lake Ladoga and established a monastery, most blessed one. / Therefore, coming to you with faith and love, we cry out with joy: / "Rejoice, most radiant lamp, Arsenios, our Father."
