Irmos: Whirled about in the abyss of sin, I call upon the unfathomable abyss of Thy loving-kindness: Lead me up from corruption, O God!
Kontakion, in Tone III, Spec. Mel: “Today the Virgin...”—
Theotokion: Christ Who sitteth upon a light cloud came of old into Egypt, and, having cast down the idols, He hath brought together choirs of the venerable.
Illumining thy mind with most radiant ascents, O father, thou didst live in the flesh as one of the bodiless ones, unsodden by sins.
Emulating Elijah the Tishbite and following John the Forerunner, of old thou didst make thine abode in the desert, cleansing thy mind with stillness.
A beacon of most godly splendor from Egypt, O most radiant father Patapius, thou didst shine forth in the city of Constantinople with the effulgence of healings.
Those who have found thy temple to be a place of spiritual healing, O holy one, and have recourse thereto with zeal, ask to receive the healing of their infirmities and forgiveness of the transgressions they committed in their lives; for thou art seen to be an intercessor for all in need, O venerable Patapius.
