Irmos: Whirled about in the abyss of sin, I call upon the unfathomable abyss of Thy loving-kindness: Lead me up from corruption, O God!
Kontakion, in Tone VI—
Illumined by the effulgence of the Spirit, thou didst dispel the darkness of evil demons, O wonder-worker Benedict, most radiant lamp of monastics.
Theotokion: The never-setting Sun of righteousness shone forth from thy holy womb and enlightened the faithful, O most-hymned virgin Theotokos.
How glorious was thy life, O blessed one! How splendid thine honored way of life whereby thou didst draw the flock of monastics to knowledge of the Savior!
As a resident of the kingdom of heaven, O divinely wise Benedict, pray thou, that we who ever faithfully bless thee may also attain it.
Thou wast enriched by the grace of God, and by thy deeds didst proclaim thy name. In prayer and fasting thou wast shown to be full of the gifts of the Spirit of God, O Benedict, favorite of Christ God. And thou hast been a healer for the infirm, a repulser of the enemy and the ready helper of our souls.
