Venerable Isidore of Pelusium

Commemorated on February 4

Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

O God of our Fathers, / take not away Your mercy from us / but ever act towards us according to Your kindness, / and by the prayers of Your Saints / guide our lives in peace.

Troparion — Tone 8

The image of God was truly preserved in you, O Father, / for you took up the Cross and followed Christ. / By so doing you taught us to disregard the flesh for it passes away / but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore your spirit, venerable Isidore, rejoices with the angels.

Kontakion — Tone 4

Finding you to be another morning star, O glorious One, / the Church is illumined by the brilliance of your words. / She cries out to you: “Rejoice, all-blessed and divinely-wise Isidore.”
