Venerable Macarius, Archimandrite of Obruch - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Striving for God from a young age, you devoted yourself entirely to the Lord, / and have been a bright luminary for your city, / teaching everyone the True Faith and a God-pleasing life, / O Hieromartyr Makarios, glory of the city of Ovruch. / Therefore, as an unblemished lamb persecuted by its enemies, the lovers of discord, / you came to the Kanev Monastery, where, as a good shepherd, you lay down your life for the sheep.1 / Now, we sinners come in sorrow to the revered shrine of your relics which work many cures, / for you always pour forth health to those who are sick, consolation for the sorrowful, / and to all who revere you, you give everything they need, / praying to Christ God for the salvation of our souls.


1 John 10:11

Troparion — Tone 8

O Monastic Martyr Makarios, / when we sinners come to the revered shrine with your relics, / which provide many cures, we receive the gift of healing, / for you always pour forth health to those who are sick, / consolation for the sorrowful, and to all who revere you, / you give everything they need, praying to Christ God for the salvation of our souls.

Kontakion — Tone 4

By the imperishable beauty of your humble life, / you glorified God on earth and taught men to remain pure in the Divine Faith, / and by accepting the exploit of a martyric death, / you were glorified by God, / O Monastic Martyr Makarios, our Father.
