Irmos: Cleanse me, O Savior, for many are my transgressions; and lead me up from the abyss of evils, I pray, for to Thee have I cried, and Thou hast hearkened to me, O God of my salvation.
Kontakion, in Tone II: Spec. Mel.: “Thy blood…”—
Theotokion: He Who sitteth upon the shoulders of the cherubim without being circumscribed, made His abode, circumscribed within thy womb, though not in His divinity; and He issued forth from thee, saving mankind.
Glorifying thy strange life and thy superhuman asceticism, O glorious one, He Who had become a stranger for thy sake truly adorned thee with all-glorious signs and wonders, O venerable one.
Crowned with a wreath of the virtues, thou didst hasten to Christ, Whom thou didst desire, and Who, in strange manner past understanding, proclaimed thee with a circlet of stars to those near and those afar, O glorious Xenia.
By thine entreaties, O venerable one, make me thine, for I have wandered far away from the commandments of our God; and make me a stranger to cruel Gehenna and the passions which beset me.
Celebrating thy strange memorial, O Xenia, we who honor thee with love hymn Christ, Who giveth thee the power of healing in all things. To Him do thou ever pray in our behalf.
