No Troparion is given in the Menaion.
Receiving divine revelation from on high,/ with diligence thou didst depart from the midst of the tumult of life;/ and, having become a solitary, O venerable one,/ thou didst receive the power to work wonders and the dignity of prophecy,// having deprived thyself of wealth and wife.
Receiving divine grace from God on high, and strengthened with the power thereof, O glorious Gregory, thou didst will to walk the path of the Gospel. Wherefore, thou hast received from Christ the reward of thy labors, O most blessed one. Him do thou entreat, that He save our souls.
Thou didst show thyself to be an emulator of Christ, the Chief Shepherd, O father Gregory, guiding the orders of monks to the fold of heaven; and from thence thou didst teach the flock of Christ His commandments. And now thou dost rejoice and dance with them in the mansions of heaven.
With the streams of thy tears thou didst irrigate the barren desert, and with sighs from the depths of thy soul thou didst render thy labors fruitful an hundredfold, and becamest a beacon for the whole world, resplendent with miracles. O Symeon our father, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.
The Church of Christ rejoiceth today, celebrating thy memory with splendor. Thou hast adorned it with thy discourses and prayers, hast guided the children of faith to the mansions of heaven, and hast shone with ineffable light, receiving radiance from Christ God, our Sun, O Symeon, our venerable father.
