Venerable Joannicius of Devic - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 1

You were enlightened by divine grace through prayer and fasting, / radiantly illuminating the ends of the earth. / Having received the gift of miracles from God, / you heal the sick and drive away demons from the souls of those who have recourse to your holy relics with faith, O venerable Father Ioannikios. / Glory to Him Who gave you grace. / Glory to Him Who strengthened you. / Glory to Him Who through you, works healings for all.

Kontakion — Tone 8

From your youth, O godly-minded one, you loved the angelic life, / forsaking all earthly goods, you rose like a star from the world, / and you ascended to Christ, the spiritual Sun of Righteousness,1 and from Him you received the grace of healing, curing the illnesses of those who run to your holy shrine with love. / Therefore, we also honor your holy memory and cry out to you: “Rejoice, O Father Ioannikios.”
