Irmos: I will sacrifice to Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, the Church crieth unto Thee, cleansed of the blood of demons by the blood which, for mercy’s sake, flowed from Thy side.
Kontakion, in Tone II: Spec. Mel.: “The steadfast…”—
With love, hope and faith the great Judge of the contest armed thee as a mighty warrior of piety; wherefore, thou didst cast down the fortress of falsehood.
Theotokion: O thou who gavest birth to the Abyss of loving-kindness, in that thou alone art merciful lead me up from the depths of sin, and save me from the tempest of adverse thoughts.
Thou didst cut thyself off from carnal love and, gazing upon the ineffable beauties of the Bridegroom, didst consider thy tortures as nought, O all-praised one.
Thou didst traverse the deep of martyrdom without sinking and didst hasten with all thy riches to the harbor of good things on high, receiving a crown of victory.
Armed with the shield of faith, thou didst cut down legions of the ungodly, O hieromartyr Mocius, and hast received a crown from Christ; wherefore, rejoicing with the angels, from misfortunes save those who hymn thee, praying unceasingly in behalf of us all.
Ikos: In that I have a soul and body defiled by countless temptations and am cruelly engulfed by the storm, I dare not utter thy praise, nor am I able to, O blessed hieromartyr; but like a well-spring wash away my many temptations, and pray that the Word grant that I may open my mouth: for thou prayest unceasingly in behalf of us all.
