Repose of Saint Job, Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 5

O zealous defender of Orthodoxy, / Confessor of the faith in Christ, First Hierarch of the Russian Church, / Holy Father Job, entreat Christ God for us, / affirm the faith of our ancestors, the remission of our sins, / and grant to the world great mercy.

Troparion — Tone 3

Let the Church of Christ triumph, and let the city of Moscow rejoice, / for the lamp of the Russian land, the unshakable Patriarch Job, / has shone forth in confession of the Truth. / By his prayers, O Lord, eradicate all the temptations and heresies of this world, / direct the people to piety, and strengthen them in Orthodoxy.

Kontakion — Tone 7

In times of hardship, you were like the long-suffering Job and offered yourself to Christ / as a living and unblemished sacrifice,1 / turning your flock to repentance, / suffering much for the sake of Christ; / O Hierarch Job, / pray that we too, may thank the Lord for all things and always give glory to God.
