Venerable Joseph the Wonderworker, Igumen of Volokolamsk - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 5

All you faithful who have gathered here, let us praise the all-wise Joseph, / the adornment of fasters and beauty of the Fathers, / the giver of alms, the light of wisdom, / the teacher of meekness, the scourge of heresies, and the star of Russia, / praying that the Lord may have mercy on our souls.

Kontakion — Tone 8

Considering the storms of life, the vanity of the world, and the tumult of the passions as nothing, / O Venerable Joseph, you became a dweller in the wilderness, the instructor of many, a gatherer of monks, / a true intercessor, and a lover of purity. / Pray to Christ God that our souls may be saved.
