Venerable Ambrose of Optina - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 5
We come to you, as to a fountain of healing, O Father Ambrose. / For you guide us truly on the path of salvation, / protecting us from troubles and misfortunes by your prayers, / and comforting us in our physical and spiritual sorrows; / above all, you taught with humility, patience, and love. / As our fervent intercessor, entreat Christ the Lover of mankind / that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 2
Fulfilling the precepts of the Shepherd of shepherds, / you inherited the grace of Eldership, / having compassion for all who come to you with faith; / therefore we your children cry out to you with love: / “Holy Father Ambrose, / entreat Christ God that our souls may be saved.”
