Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan

Commemorated on December 7

Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; / your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father Ambrose, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.

Kontakion — Tone 3

You shone forth with divine doctrine eclipsing the deception of Arius, / shepherd and initiate of the mysteries, Ambrose. / You worked miracles through the power of the Spirit, / healing various passions; / righteous father, entreat Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.
