Saint John [Maximovitch], Archbishop of Shanghai and San Francisco - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 5
Your care for your flock in its sojourn prefigured your prayers, / which you always offer up for the whole world. / Thus we believe, having come to know your love, O holy hierarch and wonderworker John. / Wholly sanctified by God through the ministry of the all-pure Mysteries, / and ever strengthened by them yourself, / you hastened to the suffering, O healer, easing their afflictions. / Hasten now to help us, who honor you with all our heart.
Kontakion — Tone 4
Your heart went out to all who entreat you with love, O hierarch John, / and who remember the struggle of your life, and thy painless and easy repose, / O faithful servant of the all-pure Directress.*
* Directress refers to the Mother of God as Hodēgḗtria (She who shows the way).
