Basil, Doctor of the Church and Perfection
Posted by Supertradmum
Found here. If you want to be perfect, think and pray like one who is perfect. Pray to one who is perfected in his being-St. Basil the Great. Hymns from his feast day.
Troparion — Tone 1
Your proclamation has gone out into all the earth / Which was divinely taught by hearing your voice / Expounding the nature of creatures, / Ennobling the manners of men. / O holy father of a royal priesthood, / Entreat Christ God that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 4
You were revealed as the sure foundation of the Church, / granting all mankind a lordship which cannot be taken away, / sealing it with your precepts, / venerable Basil, reveal-er of heaven.
Kontakion — Tone 4
You were revealed as the sure foundation of the Church, / Granting all men a lordship which cannot be taken away, / Sealing it with your precepts, / O Venerable and Heavenly Father Basil.
