Venerable Gerasimus of the Jordan
Troparion — Tone 1
(Podoben: “When the stone had been sealed...”)
O citizen of the desert and angel in the body, / you were shown to be a wonderworker, O God-bearing Gerasimos, our Father. / You received heavenly gifts through fasting, vigil, and prayer, / healing the sick, and the souls of those who run to you with faith. / Glory to Him Who strengthened you. / Glory to Him Who crowned you. / Glory to Him Who, through you, works healing for all.
Kontakion — Tone 4
Aflame with heavenly love, / you preferred the severity of the Jordanian desert to all worldly pleasures, / thus, a lion served you obediently and devotedly until your death, O Father; / and then, grief-stricken, it died on your grave. / Therefore, God has glorified you. / Pray to Him for us, and remember us, O Father Gerasimos.
Venerable Gerasimus of Vologda
Troparion — Tone 5
Equal in the image of the Bodiless Powers, / and of one mind with them, O Venerable Gerasimos, / you arrived alone at the Vologda River, foretelling that there would be a great city, / and in it a holy church, and that Hierarchs would appear there. / Therefore, you deigned to be buried near that city, / and after your death you were renowned for many miracles of healing. / Always pray for us, that we may receive mercy from God.
Kontakion — Tone 8
From your youth, O most wise one, you disdained worldly vanity and forsook corruptible treasures, / neither did you love perishable clothing, / but you received the Holy Angelic Schema with reverence and preserved it with a clear conscience, and with good works. / Even before your death you became a temple of the Holy Trinity1 because of your godly life, / and you enlightened the faithful who came to you; / therefore we all cry out to you: “Rejoice, Father Gerasimos, worthy of special reverence.”
1 I Corinthians 6:19
