Irmos: Neither in wisdom, nor in power, nor yet in riches do we boast, but in Thee, O Christ, the hypostatic Wisdom of the Father; for none is holy save Thee, O Thou Who lovest mankind.
Katavasia: O Lord, Thou confirmation of those who trust in Thee, establish the Church which Thou hast acquired with Thy precious blood.
Fervent prayer became food for thee, O righteous one; mockery and ridicule, thy sweet drink; humility of mind, thy vesture of adornment; and the effulgence of the Spirit, thy crown.
Sessional hymn, in Tone V—
Theotokion: O ye faithful, let us in nowise be slothful in moving our mouths to supplication, but like the mother of Samuel let us call upon the Queen of heaven and earth.
Hearkening to John, the beloved disciple of the Savior, who saith: “He who loveth the world hath not the love of the Father in him!”, thou didst hate the sin-loving world and didst hasten to the house of the Father, O blessed one.
Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion—
Making thyself a fool for Christ’s sake, filled with wisdom which transcendeth the world, and perceiving with a pure eye things yet to come as though they were in the present, O divinely wise Xenia, thou didst emulate the prophets of God.
When making thy supplications secretly at night, O blessed one, thou didst kneel down in the snow. Thy soul became whiter than snow, and the tears which thou didst shed in the fervor of thy heart warmed the ground. As it slept, thy city was saved by thy prayerful vigil, and the wrath of God was averted from it. But now that thou hast departed from this world, we are greatly afflicted: a night bereft of light hath descended upon us, the darkness of sin hath thickened around us, the sleep of slothfulness and negligence hath covered our eyes; thy city hath been betrayed into the hands of the godless, and thy homeland hath been enslaved to the enemy. Wherefore, haste thou to make supplication, and come quickly to our aid, O Xenia great in boldness. Twice
O intercessor and ready helper of the Christian race, protectress of the homeless and those deprived of their native land: Ever entreat thy Son and God with the blessed Xenia, in behalf of the Russian people, in the homeland and the diaspora, that we may attain unto the heavenly homeland, which cannot be taken away.
