Venerable Paphnutius, Abbot of Borov - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

By your radiant life, you illumined your homeland; / through prayers and fasting, you were filled with the gifts of the Divine Spirit, / and, contending valiantly in this temporal life, you struggled well, / revealing to all those who mourn, the mercy of compassion, and you were a protector of paupers. / Therefore we pray to you, Father Paphnoutios: “Entreat Christ God, that He may save our souls.”

Kontakion — Tone 8

Having been enlightened by God's divine light, O Father, / you attained the life of fasting, O Venerable one, / you excelled as a guide of monks and adornment of fasters. / Therefore, beholding your labors, the Lord has enriched you with the gift of miracles, for you grant healing. / We rejoice and cry out to you, “Rejoice, Father Paphnoutios.”
