Saint Theodore, Archbishop of Rostov - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
The truth of things revealed you to your flock as a rule of faith, / a model of meekness, and a teacher of temperance. / Therefore, through humility, you attained the heights; / and through poverty, riches. / O Hierarch Theodore our Father, entreat Christ God that our souls may be saved.
Troparion — Tone 4
From your youth you were raised well, by labor, abstinence, fasting, and prayer, / you made your soul pure and blameless. / Therefore, you ascended the hierarchal throne / and, as a bright star, you enlighten the hearts of the faithful with the rays of your miracles, / O Hierarch Theodore our Father, / and now entreat Christ God, / that our souls may be saved.
Troparion — Tone 5
From your youth, O most wise one, you labored diligently, / and with the blessing of the Holy Spirit / you built the great Monastery of the Most Holy Theotokos in honor of her Nativity; / and with the streams of your tears you drowned the bodiless enemies / and immersing your life in chastity you were joined to the assembly of Angels, / O Venerable Father Theodore, / with them you pray to Christ God for the salvation of our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
O Hierarch Theodore, / divine thunder, spiritual trumpet, planter of faith, and pruner of heresies, / great favorite of the Trinity, as you stand before God with the Angels, / pray unceasingly for all of us.
