in Tone IV—
With the apostles thy sound hath gone forth unto the ends of the world; with
the confessors thou didst endure sufferings for Christ; thou didst liken
thyself unto the holy hierarchs in thy preaching of the Word; and with the
venerable hast thou shone forth in the grace of God. Therefore, the Lord hath
exalted the depths of thy humility higher than the heavens, and hath given us
thy name as a source of most wondrous miracles. Wherefore, O wonderworker, who
livest in Christ forever, lovingly have mercy upon those amid misfortunes, and
hearken unto thy children that call upon thee with faith, O righteous John, our
beloved pastor.
Another Troparion, in
the same tone— O wonderworker who livest in Christ forever, take pity in
thy love upon people in misfortunes; hearken unto thy children who with faith
call upon thee, expecting compassionate aid from thee, O John of Kronstadt, our
beloved pastor.
Kontakion, in
the same tone—
O father John, namesake of grace, who wast chosen by God from childhood, who
in thy youth miraculously received from Him the gift of learning, and in a
dream wast most gloriously called to be a priest: entreat Christ God, that we
may all be with thee in the kingdom of heaven.
