Venerable Titus the Presbyter of the Kiev Near Caves - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 1

In the love of the living brethren, / you beheld the Hater of good1 who defeated you, turning you toward enmity, / but knowing your previous works, the Lord, the fountain of love, / turned you once more toward brotherly love, in which you lived, O God pleaser. / Pray for us, that we may live in brotherly love.


1 That is, the devil. Compare Micah 3:2.

Kontakion — Tone 7

O Titus, you emulated the Lord's humility, / for as a priest you humbled yourself before the proud Deacon Evagrius without malice; / therefore, you not only received the continuance of your earthly life from the Angel who healed you, / but also the enjoyment of eternal life; / as you rejoice in it, deliver us from harsh anger and vindictiveness.
