Venerable Cyril, Igoumen of White Lake - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 1
You blossomed like a flower in the desert, even as David,1 O Father Cyril, / uprooting the thorns of evil passions, / and there you gathered a multitude of disciples, who were instructed in the fear of God and in your teaching; / whom you, as a loving father, did not abandon until death, visiting them that we all may sing: / "Glory to Him Who gave you strength. / Glory to Him Who crowned you. / Glory to Him Who, through you, works healing for all.
1 A possible reference to Psalm 101/102:15, or perhaps to Psalm 62/63, written when David was in the desert of Idumea.
Kontakion — Tone 8
Rejecting pernicious worldly philosophies which dragged you down, O Father, / you hastened joyously to the path of heavenly ascent; / and there, as you stand with the Saints before the All-Holy Trinity, / pray that your flock may be protected from enemies, / that we who celebrate your holy repose may cry out to you: / "Rejoice, most blessed Cyril, our Father."
