Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Let us chant unto the Lord, Who led His people through the Red Sea, for He alone hath gloriously been glorified.

¶2

By thy perfect life and honorable martyrdom thou didst bring thyself to God as a most precious gift, O most blessed Dorotheus.

¶3

Theotokion: Rain down upon me drops of compunction, O Virgin, washing away the defilement which clingeth to me, that I may glorify thee.

¶4

Pressing thy thoughts like ripe grapes, O father, thou hast presented thy teachings to the faithful like a cup of gladness.

¶5

With the torrents of thine all-wise tongue thou hast stopped the streams of falsehood, O Dorotheus, and hast watered the minds of the faithful.
