Venerable Mother Pelagia, Troparion, Tone VIII —
In thee, O Mother, that which was created according to the image of God was
manifestly saved./ For accepting thy cross thou didst follow after Christ,/ and
praying thou didst learn to disdain the flesh,/ for thou didst transcend it to
take care of thine immortal soul.// Wherefore, with the angels doth thy soul
rejoice, O venerable Pelagia.
Kontakion, Tone II "Seeking the highest" —
Laying waste to thy body with fasting,/ with vigilant supplications thou
didst entreat the Creator concerning thy deeds,/ that thou mightest receive
complete remission;/ and this thou hast manifestly acquired, O mother,// having
shown us the path of repentance.
Venerable Thais, Kontakion, Tone II —
Let us praise the blessed Thais, the right fruitful offshoot of a corrupt
root, the sweet stream from, a salty source, the image of repentance and rule
of patience, once a vessel of sin, but now the chosen vessel of grace; and let
us cry aloud to her: Entreat Christ God that our souls be saved, O venerable
one!
