Venerable Moses the Ethiopian of Scete - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 1

You abandoned the Egypt of the passions, O Father, / ascending the mount of the virtues with fervent faith, / taking the Cross of Christ upon your shoulders; / and being glorified in godly works, / you proved to be a model for monastics, O Moses, summit of the Fathers. / With them, pray unceasingly that our souls may find mercy.

Troparion — Tone 1

(Podoben: “When the stone had been sealed...”)
You were shown to be a citizen of the desert, / an Angel in the flesh, and a wonderworker, O Moses, our God-bearing Father. / By fasting, vigil, and prayer, / you obtained heavenly gifts, and you heal the sick, and the souls of those who have recourse to thee with faith. / Glory to Him Who gave you strength. / Glory to Him Who crowned you. / Glory to Him Who, through you, works healings for all.

Kontakion — Tone 3

Your mind was filled with holy inspiration from God, / turning you from the lust and pleasures of the flesh, / bringing you to the height of the city of God. / O Holy Father Moses, intercede with Christ God that He may grant us great mercy.

Kontakion — Tone 3

(Podoben: “The Divine Faith...”)
O most blessed and righteous Father Moses, / you drove away the darkness of the passions, being richly illumined with divine light; / and by your vigilant prayers, / you withered the wanton pride of the flesh, / and ascended to the citadel on high, / where you entreat Christ God to grant us great mercy.
