Venerable Paisios Velichkovsky - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 2

Having become a stranger on earth, / you reached the heavenly homeland, O Venerable Father Paϊsios. / You taught the faithful to lift up their minds to God, / crying out to Him with all their hearts: / “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

Kontakion — Tone 8

Like a much-laboring bee, you were an elect zealot of the monastic life, / supplying our souls with the writings of the Fathers, through which you guide us on the path of salvation. / Therefore, we cry out to you: “Hail, truly wise Paϊsios, / for through you, the tradition of spiritual Elders has been restored to us!”
