Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, the mystery of Thy dispensation; I have understood Thy works, and have glorified Thy divinity.

¶2

The winter of ungodliness which had arisen didst thou revile, O venerable one, and with the warmth of the divine Spirit thou didst preserve thy heart unharmed.

¶3

Theotokion: Save me from the tempest of temptations and soul-destroying passions, that with faith I may call thee blessed, O all-holy Virgin Maiden and Mother.

¶4

The mountains of the demons’ violence were reduced to dust before thy face, O blessed Dorotheus, and the arrogance of ungodly men withered away.

¶5

Though persecuted and driven from city to city, thou didst endure; wherefore, thou hast received the blessed glory and splendor of the martyrs.
