Glory..., Now and ever...: Theotokion, in the same tone and melody—
On “Lord, I have cried...,” these stichera, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “As one valiant among the martyrs...”—
Called the namesake of chastity by divine foreknowledge, O Sophronius, thou wast righteous and chaste in thy deeds, manly and wise, and wholly crowned with native virtues. And thou didst remain flourishing in both soul and body as a most eminent arbiter.
From thy theological mouth, O most blessed Sophronius, thou didst thunder forth the teachings of theology, having clearly expounded the theology of the unoriginate Father, and the Son Who is equally without beginning, and the co-eternal Holy Spirit — the Trinity in unity, and the unity in Trinity, God One in essential identity.
Wisely didst thou, O most wise one, teach the Word Who with the Father is equally without beginning, and Who, though incorporeal, united flesh to His Hypostasis without change or confusion, Whose actions are two-fold, for both natures, of which He is composed and wherein He is beheld, being One, undivided in essence, apprehended in the one and the other.
Bedew my mind with showers of the All-holy Spirit, O all-pure one, who ineffably gave birth unto Christ the drop Who with His compassions washeth away the countless iniquities of men; dry up the upwelling of my passions, and vouchsafe unto me a torrent of ever-living nourishment by thy supplications.
Stavrotheotokion—
As she beheld Thee nailed to the Cross, O Lord, the Ewe-lamb, Thy Mother, marvelled, and cried out: “What is this that I see, O my Son most desired? Thus doth the disobedient and iniquitous assembly repay Thee which enjoyed Thy many wonders! Yet glory to Thine ineffable condescension, O Master!”
