ST BRENDAN THE VOYAGER
Troparion of St Theodore Tone 1
A desert dweller, an angel in the flesh,/ and a wonderworker wast thou shown to be,/ O our God-bearing father Theodore,/ for having acquired heavenly gifts through fasting, vigilance, and prayer,/ thou dost heal the infirm,/ and the souls of those who have recourse to thee with faith./ Glory to Him Who hath given thee strength!/ Glory to Him Who hath crowned thee!// Glory to Him Who worketh healings for all through thee!
Troparion of St Theodore Tone 1
Dweller of the desert and angel in the body, / you were shown to be a wonder-worker, our God-bearing Father Theodore. / You received heavenly gifts through fasting, vigil, and prayer: / healing the sick and the souls of those drawn to you by faith. / Glory to Him who gave you strength! / Glory to Him who granted you a crown! / Glory to Him who through you grants healing to all!
Troparion of St Theodore Tone 3
Thou wast a sanctified gift and didst glorify God the Word,/ O holy, godly Theodore./ Filled with divine goodness,/ thou pourest grace on all who cry:/ Pray to Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.
Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ὅσιος Θεόδωρος ὁ Ἡγιασμένος Ἦχος α´. Τοῦ λίθου σφαγισθέντος
Τῆς ἐρήμου πολίτης καὶ ἐν σώματι ἄγγελος, καὶ θαυματουργὸς ἀνεδείχθης, θεοφόρε Πατὴρ ἡμῶν Αὐξέντιε· νηστείᾳ ἀγρυπνίᾳ προσευχῇ, οὐράνια χαρίσματα λαβών, θεραπεύεις τοὺς νοσοῦντας, καὶ τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν πίστει προστρεχόντων σοι. Δόξα τῷ δεδωκότι σοι ἰσχύν, δόξα τῷ σὲ στεφανώσαντι, δόξα τῷ ἐνεργοῦντι διὰ σοῦ πᾶσιν ἰάματα.
Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ὅσιος Θεόδωρος ὁ Ἡγιασμένος Ἦχος γ’. Θείας πίστεως
Δῶρον πέφηνας, ἁγιωσύνης, τὸν πανάγιον, δοξάσας Λόγον, ἡγιασμένε θεόφρον Θεόδωρε· ὅθεν βλυστάνεις ἐκ θείας χρηστότητος, ἁγιασμὸν ἀληθῆ τοῖς βοῶσί σοι. Πάτερ Ὅσιε, Χριστὸν τὸν Θεὸν ἱκέτευε, δωρήσασθαι ἡμῖν τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.
Troparion of St Ephraim of Perekop Tone 4
Serving God from thy youth, O blessed Ephraim,/ for His sake thou didst abandon home and family./ Thou didst live austerely in the wilderness/ where thou didst receive the gift of wonderworking./ Pray to Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
Troparion of St Carantoc Tone 7
Preferring to serve in the Kingdom of God/ than to rule an earthly kingdom, O Father Carantoc,/ thou didst convert many to Christ in Ireland,/ in thy native Wales and in Cornwall,/ where having cast out the dragon and founded many churches/ thou wast a shining beacon guiding many souls into the Way of Salvation./ Pray now to Christ our God that He will save our souls.
Troparion of St Brendan Tone 5
Thine angelic life of fasting hath spread thy glory throughout the Church of Christ, O venerable father Brendan. For thou didst sail the waters of the thundering sea like a merchant seeking a pearl of great price, but didst obtain it in the heavens from the hand of thy Lord. Wherefore, O God-bearing father, bestow this treasure upon those who now call upon thee with faith and who cherish thine honored memory.
Troparion of St Brendan Tone 8
The Divine Likeness has been perfected in thee, O holy Father Brendan,/ for taking up the Cross thou hast followed Christ,/ and by thy deeds thou hast taught us to disdain the flesh, for it passes away,/ but to cultivate the soul, for it is immortal:/ wherefore, O holy Father, thy spirit rejoices with the Angels.

Kontakion of St Theodore Tone 2
Thou didst flourish like a date palm in the house of God/ and produce fruits of virtue by thine asceticism, O Theodore./ Therefore thou art now blessed/ and art rejoicing with the Angels.
Kontakion of St Theodore Tone 2
You flourished like a palm tree in the house of God, / bringing forth the fruit of virtues for the Lord through your ascetic efforts. / Therefore, you are called blest, venerable Father Theodore, / for you are equal to the bodiless ones!
Kontakion of St Theodore Tone 2 ''Seeking the highest..."
Thou didst flourish in the house of God like a palm-tree,/ and through excellent ascetic endeavor didst brine forth the fruit of the virtues for the Lord./ O venerable father;// wherefore, as one who standeth with the incorporeal hosts, thou art called blessed.
Κοντάκιον. Ὅσιος Θεόδωρος ὁ Ἡγιασμένος Ἦχος β´. Τά ἄνω ζητῶν
Ἐν οἴκω Θεοῦ, ὡς φοίνιξ σύ ἐξήνθησας, καρπούς τε αὐτῷ, ἀρετῶν προσενήνοχας, διὰ τῆς ἀσκήσεως, τῆς ἀρίστης Πάτερ Θεόδωρε· ὅθεν καὶ μακαρίζῃ νῦν, ὡς τῶν Ἀσωμάτων ἰσοστάσιος.
Κοντάκιον. Ὅσιος Θεόδωρος ὁ Ἡγιασμένος Ἦχος πλ. δ’. Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ
Τὸν ἐν Ἁγίοις ἀληθῶς ἀναπαυόμενον
Τοῖς σοῖς ὁσίοις θεραπεύσας κατορθώμασιν
Ἁγιότητος ἐδείχθης λαμπρὸν δοχεῖον.
Ἀλλ’ ἁγίασον παμμάκαρ τῇ σῇ χάριτι
Καὶ ἡμῶν τὰς διανοίας καὶ τὰ σώματα
Τῶν βοώντων σοι, χαίροις Πάτερ Θεόδωρε.
Kontakion of St Ephraim of Perekop Tone 8
Thou didst strive for the angelic life, abandoning earthly things,/ and hasten to Christ, O righteous father./ Thou didst guard thyself with His commandments and appear as an unassailable pillar./ Wherefore we cry to thee: Rejoice O Ephraim, thou radiant lamp.
Kontakion of St Brendan Tone 4 "Thou hast appeared…"
By ascetic strivings thou didst safely sail across the sea of life, and, rejoicing, didst attain unto the realm of the blessed, which is on high, O venerable father Brendan, divinely wise and most holy. Entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.

Μεγαλυνάριον. Ὅσιος Θεόδωρος ὁ Ἡγιασμένος
Σῶμα καὶ καρδίαν ἁγιασθείς, τῷ ἀμέμπτῳ βίῳ, ὡς τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐραστής, Τρισηλίου δόξης, ἡγιασμένον σκεῦος, ἐν τοῖς Ὁσίοις ὤφθης, Πάτερ Θεόδωρε.

ST BRENDAN'S PRAYER
Shall I abandon, O King of mysteries, the soft comforts of home? Shall I turn my back on my native land, and turn my face towards the sea?
Shall I put myself wholly at your mercy, without silver, without a horse, without fame, without honour? Shall I throw myself wholly upon You, without sword and shield, without food and drink, without a bed to lie on? Shall I say farewell to my beautiful land, placing myself under Your yoke?
Shall I pour out my heart to You, confessing my manifold sins and begging forgiveness, tears streaming down my cheeks? Shall I leave the prints of my knees on the sandy beach, a record of my final prayer in my native land?
Shall I then suffer every kind of wound that the sea can inflict? Shall I take my tiny boat across the wide sparkling ocean? O King of the Glorious Heaven, shall I go of my own choice upon the sea?
O Christ, will You help me on the wild waves?
