The Scripture Readings
1 Corinthians 1:1-9Matthew 13:24-30
Troparion
St. Sisoes the Great, Troparion, Tone I —
A desert dweller, an angel in the flesh,/ and a wonderworker wast thou shown to be,/ O our God-bearing father Sisoes,/ for having acquired heavenly gifts through fasting, vigilance, and prayer,/ thou dost heal the infirm,/ and the souls of those who have recourse to thee with faith./ Glory to Him Who hath given thee strength!/ Glory to Him Who hath crowned thee!// Glory to Him Who worketh healings for all through thee!
Kontakion, Tone IV, "Thou hast appeared today..." —
Having struggled, thou wast seen to be an angel on the earth, O venerable one,/ ever illumining the thoughts of the faithful with divine signs.// Wherefore, we honor thee with faith, O Sisoes.
