Blessed Augustine, Bishop of Hippo - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

(Podoben: “Come, let us worship the Word...”)
Let us praise the great Augustine, / a divine Hierarch of Christ's Church and a wise guide; / a renowned theologian of the city on high,1 / a lover of prayer, and a pillar of repentance; / “Intercede with the Lord, that He may have mercy on our souls.”;


1 A reference to his book The City of God.

Kontakion — Tone 2

(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
You received the light of Christ in your heart, / and being in this light, and illumining the faithful with light, / you burned the enemies with your wise writings; / O blessed Father Augustine, always intercede with Christ for all of us.
