Venerable Philotheus of Dionysiou of Mount Athos - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “The Divine Faith...”)
As one rescued from the hands of ungodly by the grace of the Theotokos, / you lived righteously in the Monastery at Neapolis, / and then you struggled on Athos, / where you were called the friend of God. O Venerable Father Philotheos, / intercede with Christ God, that He may grant us great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “O Victorious Leader...”)
You became a stranger to worldly friendships, / becoming an abode of divine inspiration, / and God has magnified you, O God-bearer. / But as a genuine friend of the Savior, / deliver from lesser friendships those who cry to you; / “Rejoice, O Father Philotheos.”
