Venerable Benedict of Nursia - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 1
(Podoben: “O citizen of the desert...”)
By your ascetical contests, O God-bearer Benedict, / you were true to the name that you bear; / for you
blossomed as a son of benediction, / and became a Rule for all who desire to emulate your life. / Thus,
with one voice we cry: / “Glory to Him Who strengthened you; / glory to Him Who crowned you; / glory to Him Who, through you, works healings for all.”
Kontakion — Tone 6
You were enriched with God’s grace; / your works agreed with your name, O Benedict, helpful servant of Christ God. / Through prayer and fasting you were revealed to be filled with the gifts of the Spirit of God! / You are a healer of the sick, the banisher of demons and speedy defender of our souls!
