Venerable Gregory of Ochrid - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “Come, let us worship the Word…”)
With the streams of your tears, you cultivated the barrenness of the desert, / and by your sighings from the depths, your labors bore fruit a hundredfold, / and you became a luminary of the world, radiant with miracles, / O Gregory our Father. Intercede with Christ God for the salvation of our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
Having divinely armed yourself with purity of soul / and firmly grasping unceasing prayer as a spear, you have slain the armies of the demons. / Therefore, we beseech you, O Father Gregory: / “Always intercede for those who honor you. ”
