Seraphim-Diveyevo Tenderness Icon of the Mother of God - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Let all those who are burdened with sins turn to the Theotokos with heartfelt contrition, / kissing her wonderworking Tenderness Icon and crying out with tears: / “O Sovereign Lady, accept the prayer of your unworthy servants / and grant to us who ask, your great mercy.”

Kontakion — Tone 3

Like the barren fig tree1 I, the accursed one, do not bear the fruit of humility at all, / and I fear being cut down, but beholding your wonderworking Tenderness Icon, / O Sovereign Lady, I sigh from my heart and cry out: / “Have mercy on me, who am hard-hearted, O Merciful one. / Bless me and grant me spiritual and heartfelt humility.”


1 Luke 13:6-9.
