  Troparion of St. John of Kronstadt Tone 4

  With the Apostles thy message has gone out to the ends of the world,/ and with the Confessors thou didst suffer for Christ;/ thou art like the Hierarchs through thy preaching of the Word;/ with the Righteous thou art radiant with God's grace./ The Lord has exalted thy humility above the heavens/ and given us thy name as a source of miracles./ O wonderworker living in Christ forever,/ have mercy on those in trouble/ and hear us when we call to thee with faith, O our beloved shepherd John.

  Another Troparion of St. John of Kronstadt (composed by Archbishop Maximovich of San Francisco) Tone 4

  O Wonderworker living in Christ forever,/ with love have mercy on those in danger;/ hear thy children who call upon thee with faith;/ be compassionate to those who hope for aid from thee,/ O Father John of Kronstadt, our beloved shepherd.

Troparion of the Prophet Joel Tone 4

Thou wast revealed as a treasure of sacred virtues;/ God's Prophet by the grace of the Spirit./ Thou didst foretell the outpouring of the fountain of godliness from the House of the Lord/ for us who lovingly honour thee,/ O holy Prophet Joel.

Troparion of St. Varus the Martyr Tone 5

Thou didst follow in the steps of the martyrs/ and contend for the glory of Christ./ Thou wast tied to a beam and restored by the Tree of Life,/ and thine intercessions gladden our souls.

Troparion of St. Ethbin Tone 8

As a disciple of our Father Samson,/ thou wast radiant in thy asceticism, O Father Ethbin,/ and having been driven out of Tantac by the unruly Franks/ thou didst seek refuge in the remoteness of Erin's green desert./ Wherefore, O Saint, pray for us that we may not be swayed from our course,/ despite all difficulties, that our souls may be saved.

Kontakion of St. John of Kronstadt Tone 4

Thou wast chosen by God in infancy/ and in childhood received the gift of learning./ Thou wast called to the priesthood in a vision during sleep/ and didst become a wonderful shepherd of Christ's Church./ Pray to Christ our God/ that we may all be with thee in the Kingdom of heaven,/ O Father John, namesake of grace.

Kontakion of the Prophet Joel Tone 1

Thou didst behold God's glory/ and receive knowledge of things to come./ For the Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh/ that believed on Him Who appeared on earth and made Thee wonderful, O holy Prophet Joel.

Kontakion of St. Varus Tone 4

Thou hast followed Christ and drunk His chalice;/ thou didst receive the crown of martyrdom, O holy Varus./ Thou art rejoicing with the Angels: pray unceasingly for our souls.
