St. Moses the Black

St. Moses the Black

Commemorated August 28

Troparion, Tone 1

Thou didst prove to be a citizen of the desert, an angel in the flesh, and a wonderworker, O Moses, our God-bearing Father. By fasting, vigil, and prayer thou didst obtain heavenly gifts, and thou healest the sick and the souls of them that have recourse to thee with faith. Glory to Him that hath given thee strength. Glory to Him that hath crowned thee. Glory to Him that worketh healings for all through thee.

Kontakion, Tone 3

Your mind was filled with a holy inspiration from God, turning you from the lust and pleasures of the flesh, bringing you to the height of the city of God! O Holy Father Moses, intercede with Christ God that He may grant us great mercy!
