Venerable Confessor Sergius of Paphlagonia - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 8

In you, O Father, was preserved with exactness what was according to the image; / for you took up the Cross and followed Christ. / By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away; / but to care for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore, O Venerable Sergius, your spirit rejoices with the Angels.

Kontakion — Tone 2

Finding delight in abstinence, you subdued the desires of the flesh. / Revealed as one nurtured in the Faith, / you blossomed like the Tree of Life in Paradise, / O Holy Father Sergius.
