Synaxis of the Saints of North America
Troparion — Tone 8
As the bountiful harvest of Your sowing of salvation, / the lands of North America offer to You, O Lord, all the saints who have shone in them. / By their prayers keep the Church and our land in abiding peace / through the Theotokos, O most Merciful One.
Kontakion — Tone 3
Today the choir of Saints who were pleasing to God in the lands of North America / now stands before us in the Church and invisibly prays to God for us. / With them the angels glorify Him, / and all the saints of the Church of Christ keep festival with them; / and together they all pray for us to the Pre-Eternal God.
Venerable Isaac, Founder of Dalmátos Monastery at Constantinople
Troparion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “The Divine Faith...”)
Appearing as an example of abstinence, and a support of the Church, / O Isaac, adornment of the Fathers, / your life was radiant with virtues, / and you clearly expounded the word of Orthodoxy. / O Venerable Father, entreat Christ God that He may grant us great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “As first-fruits...”)
As a faithful servant of God, you were inflamed with zeal for the Church of Christ, / holding the reins of the Emperor Valens, / you prophetically foretold His death in a fire because of his closure of the churches. / Therefore, always pray for us who honor you, O Venerable Father Isaac.
