Saint Mercurius, Bishop of Smolensk, Kiev Near Caves - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 8

Having enlightened your soul through unceasing prayers, / your heart was made a vessel of the Holy Spirit, O venerable Father Mercurius, / for courageously you defeated all the enemy soldiers, / and, as a true victor, you received a reward from Christ God. / Pray to Him for our souls.

Kontakion — Tone 8

Your soul was aflame with love for Christ, O venerable Father Mercurius. / In the darkness of the Caves, you found the light of salvation / and, as a chosen child of the great Fathers of the Caves, Anthony and Theodosios, / together with them you inherited a heavenly abode. / Now from there, look mercifully upon the monastery on earth, in which you labored, / and pray for those who revere your memory.
