Kontakion, Tone II: "The steadfast..."
In laudations let us all bless the divinely eloquent Simon,/ who hath diligently set the doctrines of wisdom in the hearts of the pious;/ for he standeth now before the throne of glory and dwelleth with the incorporeal ones,// praying unceasingly for us all.
St. Isidora the Fool of Tabenna, Troparion in Tone VIII
In thee, O mother, that which was created according to the image of God was manifestly saved; for, taking up thy cross, thou didst follow after Christ; and, praying, thou didst learn to disdain the flesh, for it passeth away, but to care for thy soul as a thing immortal. Wherefore, with the angels thy spirit doth rejoice, O venerable Isidora.
Kontakion of the venerable one, in Tone II
Having acquired the mind of Christ, O divinely wise one, thou didst reject the wisdom of this world, showing the appearance of drunkenness to men, but worshiping God with understanding, meditating on His wisdom every hour, filled with the Holy Spirit. Wherefore, we all cry out: Rejoice, O Isidora, thou boast of Tabenna!
