Venerable Gerasimus of Vologda - Troparion & Kontakion
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.”
